*Adjusted for REC and Lenenergo gains
Fortum's January-September comparable operating profit improved significantly
from a year ago, driven by better results in the Power Generation segment.
Fortum's consistent hedging strategy, higher average Nord Pool spot prices and
higher hydro power volumes contributed to the improvement. Fortum Power
Generation's achieved Nordic sales price was supported by exceptionally high
Finnish and Swedish area price differences relative to the Nord Pool system
price average.
Fortum's profit before taxes and earnings per share in the first nine months of
the year were lower than a year ago. This is due to the non-recurring gains of
EUR 180 million (Hafslund's sale of REC shares) and 232 million (sale of
Lenenergo shares) corresponding to EUR 0.46 per share, booked in Fortum's first-
and third-quarter results 2007.
Fortum's net cash from operating activities remained strong at EUR 1,440 (1,325)
million.
Liquidity remained strong with liquid funds amounting to EUR 1,179 million.
Undrawn committed credit facilities were EUR 2.4 billion at the end of the third
quarter. In October, Fortum drew EUR 500 million from its committed credit
facilities, which will cover all outstanding debt (EUR 468 million) maturing in
2008.
Fortum filed the mandatory public tender offer (MTO) to TGC-10 minorities in
April. At the end of September, Fortum's ownership in TGC-10 was over 93%.
Fortum had by that time paid approximately EUR 440 million for share purchases
under the MTO. Clearing of the share transactions is still ongoing and the final
results of the MTO will be known and published at the latest at the end of
October 2008.
In the third quarter, the Power Generation segment's achieved Nordic power price
was EUR 57.0 (39.9) per megawatt-hour (MWh), up by 43% from the previous year
and higher than the average spot price of electricity in Nord Pool, the Nordic
power exchange. The average system spot price of electricity in Nord Pool was
EUR 55.4 (19.7) per MWh.
Financial results
July - September
Group sales were EUR 1,272 (860) million. Group operating profit totalled EUR
395 (510) million. Fortum's operating profit in the third quarter 2007 included
EUR 232 million sales gain from Lenenergo shares. Comparable operating profit
increased to EUR 353 (238) million, driven by the improvement in Power
Generation.

January-September
Group sales were EUR 4,034 (3,159) million. Group operating profit totalled EUR
1,352 (1,327) million. Comparable operating profit increased to EUR 1,337
(1,048) million.
Profit before taxes was EUR 1,245 (1,433) million.
The Group's net financial expenses increased to EUR 185 (117) million. The
increase is attributable to a higher average level of debt and higher short-term
interest rates. The change in fair value of derivatives was EUR 5 (4) million.
Hafslund ASA is showing the fair value change in the REC shareholding through
the income statement, while Fortum is showing the fair value change in equity.
The fair value booked in Fortum's equity and based on the number of shares
reported by Hafslund ASA was EUR 266 million at the end of September 2008.
Minority interests accounted for EUR 10 (31) million. The minority interests are
mainly attributable to Fortum Värme Holding AB, in which the City of Stockholm
has a 50% economic interest.
Taxes for the period totalled EUR 256 (218) million. The tax rate according to
the income statement was 20.6% (15.2%). The tax rate in the first nine months of
2007 was lowered by the non-taxable gains from Hafslund's sale of REC shares and
from the sale of Lenenergo shares.
The profit for the period was EUR 979 (1,184) million. Fortum's earnings per
share were EUR 1.10 (1.33).
Return on capital employed was 14.1% for the last twelve months (16.5% at
year-end 2007), and return on shareholders' equity was 16.7 % for the last
twelve months (19.1% at year-end 2007).
Market conditions
According to preliminary statistics, the Nordic countries consumed 82 (84) TWh
of electricity during the third quarter of the year. During the first nine
months of the year, the Nordic countries consumed about 288 (289) TWh.
Year 2008 started with the Nordic water reservoirs being 9 TWh above the
long-term average until late August. At the end of September, the Nordic water
reservoirs were 6 TWh below the long-term average and 14 TWh below the
corresponding level last year.
During the third quarter, the average system spot price for power in Nord Pool
was EUR 55.4 (19.7) per MWh or 181% higher than in the corresponding period in
2007. The Nord Pool spot price was higher mainly due to higher fuel and CO2
prices. During the third quarter, the Finnish and Swedish area prices continued
to be above the system price levels, being EUR 65.8 (27.1) per MWh in Finland
and EUR 65.9 (27.1) per MWh in Sweden. This was mainly due to malfunctions in
transmission connections, for example between Sweden and Norway.
During the third quarter, the average market price of CO2 emission allowances
(EUA) for 2008 was EUR 24.5 per tonne CO2. In 2007, the corresponding price for
CO2 emission allowances for 2007 was EUR 0.1 per tonne CO2. Coal and oil prices
decreased during the third quarter of 2008.
In Germany, the average spot price for the third quarter was EUR 73.2 (31.0) per
MWh, being higher than in the Nordic area. This resulted in a net export from
the Nordic area to Germany.
According to preliminary statistics, the electricity consumption in Russia
increased by above 5% in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the first
nine months of 2007.
Total power and heat generation figures
Fortum's total power generation during January-September 2008 was 46.7 (38.0)
TWh, of which 38.7 (37.2) TWh was in the Nordic countries, representing 13%
(13%) of the total Nordic electricity consumption. Fortum's total heat
generation during January-September 2008 was 24.8 (17.9) TWh, of which 14.7
(15.1) TWh was in the Nordic countries. The increase in the power and heat
generation volumes is mainly due to the inclusion of TGC-10, consolidated from
the beginning of April.
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 third quarter, the average system spot price in Nord Pool was EUR
55.4 per MWh, with the Finnish area price being EUR 65.8 per MWh and the Swedish
area price being EUR 65.9 per MWh. In the third quarter, Generation's achieved
Nordic power price was EUR 57.0 per MWh, up by 43% from a year ago. Generation's
sales volume without pass-though items was 10.6 (9.6) TWh in the period.
During January-September 2008, the average system spot price in Nord Pool was
EUR 42.7 per MWh, with the Finnish and Swedish area prices being on average EUR
50.6 per MWh. Generation's achieved Nordic power price was EUR 49.3 per MWh, up
by 28% from a year ago.
The comparable operating profit of the Power Generation segment was clearly
higher in the third quarter than in the corresponding period last year. The
improvement was mainly due to a higher achieved Nordic power price. The achieved
price was supported by exceptionally high Finnish and Swedish area price
differences relative to Nord Pool system price average. In addition, higher
hydro power generation contributed positively to the operating profit. The
positive effects were partly offset by the higher nuclear capacity tax and
property taxes in Sweden compared to the previous year.
In January-September 2008, the comparable operating profit of the Power
Generation segment was higher than last year, as was the segment's achieved
Nordic power price. Hydro and nuclear power generation volumes increased. The
positive effects were partly offset by the higher nuclear capacity tax and
property taxes in Sweden.
The annual refuelling outages were conducted at Loviisa nuclear power plant in
August-October. For unit 1 the outage in August-September included an extensive
annual inspection and maintenance, which is performed every four years. The
annual outage at the Loviisa unit 1 lasted 12 days longer than originally
planned. Unit 2 had a short annual maintenance procedure where, in addition to
normal maintenance tasks and refuelling, the most significant tasks were the
inspection of the steam generators. The annual outage at unit 2 was finished on
13 October 2008.
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.

in the first quarter of the year affected heat demand.
The Heat segment's comparable operating profit during the third quarter was EUR
4 million lower than the previous year, mainly due to higher fuel prices and
other costs.
The Heat segment's comparable operating profit during January-September was EUR
29 million lower than the previous year, mainly due to the warm weather in the
first quarter, higher fuel prices, CO2 emission costs, availability of some CHP
units and other costs.

In the first nine months of 2008, the volume of distribution and regional
network transmissions totalled 18.6 (18.4) TWh and 13.2 (13.2) TWh,
respectively.
Electricity transmissions via the regional distribution network totalled 11.0
(10.9) TWh in Sweden and 2.2 (2.3) TWh in Finland.
The comparable operating profit of the Distribution segment was EUR 49 million
in the third quarter, EUR 2 million lower than the previous year.
In January-September the comparable operating profit of the Distribution segment
was EUR 185 million, EUR 4 million higher than the previous year. In 2007, the
segment's results were negatively affected by the winter storms in Sweden.
Depreciations on meters for automatic meter reading started in the second
quarter.
Installations of new meters and the implementation of automatic meter management
(AMM) in Sweden continue. The project is expected to be finalised by year end. A
total of 494,000 AMM meters out of the 735,000 meters installed are activated
for monthly meter reading. Almost 58% of Fortum's distribution customers in
Sweden are invoiced based on automated meter reading.
During the spring, the procurement for AMM services in Finland was initiated. A
contract with a service provider is expected to be signed before the summer of
2009. The planning for introducing AMM to Fortum's customers in Norway has also
started. The procurement will be initiated in the beginning of 2009. So far, no
investment decision has been made for Finland or Norway.

In the third quarter, Markets' electricity sales totalled 7.5 (8.3) TWh. The
decrease in the sales volume was mainly due to some expired long-term business
customer contracts. For the first nine months of the year, sales were 27.0
(29.1) TWh.
Markets' third-quarter comparable operating profit was clearly negative, mainly
due to high procurement costs weakening sales margin. The high procurement costs
were partly due to the high Nord Pool area prices for Finland and Sweden.
Fortum announced a 9% price increase in its current price products in Finland
effective from 1 August and a 13% increase in Sweden effective from 1 October.
Following the increase, Fortum's average price for its current price products
will be very close to the overall retail price average.
Due to continuing unsatisfactory business performance, a restructuring programme
has been launched. Several cost-saving actions have been initiated.
Matti Saario was appointed BU head of Fortum Markets as of 1 December 2008. Mr
Saario was previously the managing director for Unilever Finland.
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.

Fortum acquired 76.49% of TGC-10 shares in March 2008 through an auction held by
RAO UES of Russia and the additional share issue of the company. TGC-10 operates
in well-developed industrial regions of the Urals and Western Siberia. The
rapidly growing activities of oil and gas companies and the significant increase
in housing construction are the main drivers behind the increasing power and
heat demand in the region.
The segment's power sales during the third quarter amounted to 4.4 TWh. During
the same period, heat sales from CHP production in the segment totalled 2.4 TWh.
The segment booked an operating loss in the third quarter of 2008. The loss for
the two consolidated quarters is explained by TGC-10's stand-alone loss of EUR
34 million, the surplus value depreciation of EUR 26 million (depreciation on
the EUR 1,039 million that has been allocated to the fair value of TGC-10's
property, plant and equipment), and integration costs of EUR 12 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. The stand-alone loss for
the consolidated third quarter is mainly explained by seasonality.
Russian power sector reform is continuing. Starting from 1 July, 25% of all
produced power is sold on the competitive market. The wholesale power market is
expected to be fully liberalised by 2011. The capacity market was launched at
the beginning of July, as planned. RAO UES, the former monopoly in the power and
heat sector in Russia, ceased to exist as of 1 July 2008. Its regulatory
functions were divided between different governmental bodies.
TGC-10 has an extensive investment programme aiming to increase its power
capacity to 5,300 MW by 2013. As communicated earlier, TGC-10's initial cost
estimate of the programme amounted to EUR 2.2 billion. Fortum is continuously
reviewing the cost estimate as contract negotiations for the programme proceed.
In August 2008, the turnkey contract for the biggest project in the investment
programme was completed with Russian E4 Group, which will act as the general
contractor for construction of the Power Island of Nyaganskaya Power Plant
(capacity 1,200 MW). The major equipment supplier for this project will be
Siemens.
Construction work commenced at the Tyumenskaya and Tobolskaya CHP sites.
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.
In September Fortum announced that it will gain approximately 1.5 million tonnes
of emission reduction units (ERU) from joint implementation projects conducted
at TGC-10.
Capital expenditures, divestments and investments in shares
Capital expenditures and investments in shares in January-September totalled EUR
2,210 (646) million. Investments, excluding acquisitions, were EUR 716 (382)
million.
POWER GENERATION
In June, Fortum and Hafslund Infratek ASA signed a letter of intent with the aim
to combine Fortum Service's Infrastructure Solutions operations with Hafslund
Infratek. The deal concerns all Infrastructure Solutions operations in Sweden,
Norway and Finland and altogether 1,060 Fortum employees. According to the plan,
Fortum will receive newly issued shares in Hafslund Infratek ASA, listed on the
Oslo Stock Exchange. This transaction will bring Fortum's ownership of the
combined company to 33%. Hafslund ASA, today the majority shareholder of
Hafslund Infratek, will hold 43.3% of the shares in the combined company. The
process for combining the operations continued during the third quarter. In the
beginning of October the parties agreed to extend the original letter of intent
from the end of September. The aim is to finalise the agreement during October.
DISTRIBUTION
Investments, excluding acquisitions, were EUR 203 (119) million; the AMM
investment represents EUR 84 (11) million.
RUSSIA
Regarding TGC-10, Fortum has filed the mandatory public tender offer to the
company's minorities. The period of offer was from 30 April until 18 July 2008.
The tender offer covered 23.51% of the share capital of TGC-10 and has been
launched at a price of 111.8 roubles (approximately EUR 3) per share to be fully
paid in cash. The tender price is the same price Fortum paid for its shares
acquired through the auction and share issue, and it represents a significant
premium to the market price. At the end of September, Fortum's ownership in
TGC-10 was over 93% and by that time Fortum had paid EUR 440 million for share
purchases under the MTO. Clearing of the share transactions is still ongoing and
the final results of the MTO will be known and published at the latest at the
end of October 2008.
In the event that Fortum's shareholding in TGC-10 exceeds 95% as a result of the
MTO, Fortum may redeem the remaining shares in TGC-10. The redemption of
remaining shares is, however, subject to decision by Russian authorities.
Financing
Net debt increased during the third quarter by EUR 266 million to EUR 6,520
million (year-end 2007: EUR 4,466 million). The increase in net debt during the
third quarter is mainly due to execution of the mandatory offer for TGC-10 in
which Fortum has increased its ownership stake from 76% to over 93%, paying EUR
440 million for the acquired shares. The increase in debt has been financed by
drawings under existing committed credit facilities. With the exception of the
roll over of commercial paper (CP) financing (EUR 598 million outstanding at
quarter end), no new financing arrangements were established during the quarter.
Liquidity remained strong with cash (EUR 663 million) and bank deposits (EUR 516
million) amounting to EUR 1,179 million (1,109 million of which in TGC-10) and
EUR 2.4 billion of undrawn committed credit facilities at the end of the
quarter.
In October, Fortum made an additional drawing under the committed credit
facility of EUR 500 million, which will cover all outstanding debt (EUR 468
million) maturing in 2008. EUR 435 million of the debt maturing in 2008 is CP
financing.
Debt maturities in 2009 and 2010 are limited. In 2009, approximately EUR 172
million is maturing in Q1 and EUR 286 million during the reminder of the year.
EUR 163 million of the debt maturing in 2009 is CP financing. Debt maturing in
2010 amounts to EUR 634 million. In 2011, the Term Loan Facility of EUR 2,000
million will mature, and the total for maturing debt in 2011 is EUR 2,268
million.
Net debt to EBITDA for the last twelve months was 2.8 (1.9 at year end 2007).
The increase in net debt in 2008 is mainly due to the acquisition of 93% of
TGC-10 and the dividend payment.
The Group's net financial expenses were EUR 185 (117) million. The increase is
attributable to higher average net debt and higher average interest rates for
the first nine months of 2008 compared to the corresponding period last year.
Net financial expenses include fair value gain on financial instruments of EUR 5
(4) million.
Fortum Corporation's long-term credit rating from Moody's and Standard & Poor's
was 'A2' (outlook stable) and "A-" (outlook stable), respectively.
Shares and share capital
In January-September 2008, a total of 466.5 (647.9) million Fortum Corporation
shares, totalling EUR 12,834 million, were traded. Fortum's market
capitalisation, calculated using the closing quotation of the last trading day
of the quarter, was EUR 20,928 million. The highest quotation of Fortum
Corporation shares on the Nasdaq OMX Helsinki in the first nine months of the
year 2008 was EUR 33.00, the lowest EUR 21.24, and the volume-weighted average
quotation EUR 27.55. The closing quotation on the last trading day of the
quarter was EUR 23.58 (25.74).
Relating to the 2002B share option scheme, a total of 0.7 million options for a
total of EUR 17.2 million were traded during the first nine months of 2008.
A total of 325,987 shares subscribed on the basis of share option schemes were
entered into the trade register in the third quarter of 2008. At the end of the
third quarter, Fortum Corporation did not own its own shares.
After registrations, Fortum Corporation's share capital is EUR 3,043,297,262 and
the total number of registered shares is 887,517,430 at the end of the third
quarter of 2008. The share capital of Fortum Corporation increased by a total of
EUR 1,108,355.80.
At quarter-end, the amount of shares that can still be subscribed for and
registered under the share option schemes is a maximum of 0.1% (849,615 shares)
of Fortum's quarter-end share capital and voting rights.
At quarter-end, the Finnish state's holding in Fortum was 50.8%. The proportion
of nominee registrations and direct foreign shareholders was 35.9%.
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. The Board of Directors has an authorisation
from the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on 1 April 2008 to buy Fortum
Corporation's own shares. The authorisation, amounting to EUR 300 million or 15
million shares, is valid until the next Annual General Meeting.
Group personnel
The average number of employees in the Group during the period from January to
September was 13,585 (8,305). The number of employees at the end of the period
was 15,785 (8,310). The increase in the number of employees is due to the
acquisition of TGC-10.
Events after the period under review
Fortum is participating in the project to build the fifth Finnish nuclear power
unit (Olkiluoto 3) with a share of approximately 25%. Teollisuuden Voima (TVO),
the company that is building and owns the unit, has received new schedule
information from the supplier (consortium Areva-Siemens). Based on the new
information, TVO currently estimates that the start-up of the plant may be
postponed until 2012, while it was earlier anticipated to take place during
2011. TVO has also stated that it has a fixed-price plant supply contract and
that it is not in a process of agreeing with the plant supplier on sharing the
consortium's losses, contrary to the information presented in media.
On 21 October, Fortum and Jyväskylän Energia agreed that Fortum will sell its
60% ownership in Jyväskylän Energiantuotanto Oy to Jyväskylän Energia. The
transaction and related arrangements will take effect on 1 January 2009. The
transaction means that ownership of a CHP plant with 115 MW electricity, 610 MW
district heating and 110 MW process steam capacity, and also the plant site will
be transferred to Jyväskylän Energia. The value of the shares sold to Jyväskylän
Energia is approximately EUR 40 million. The sales gain from the transaction
will be booked in Heat segment's fourth quarter operating profit.
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 and supply-demand balance, CO2
emissions allowance prices and fuel prices. The exchange rates of the Swedish
krona and Russian rouble also affect Fortum's reported results.
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 2007.
In Russia, one of the key assumptions in the TGC-10 acquisition is the
continuation of the Russian power sector reform. In the beginning of July, the
share of the liberalised energy market increased from 15% to 25%. At the same
time, the capacity market was started with the same degree of liberalisation.
The first capacity auction for year 2008 was executed in July. Market rules for
the long-term capacity market are under preparation. The wholesale power market
is expected to be fully liberalised in 2011.
TGC-10 is committed and contractually obligated to a significant investment
programme, amounting to approximately EUR 2.2 billion according to TGC-10's
original estimate. The programme is estimated to be completed during 2013. The
contractual obligations of TGC-10's investment programme include penalty clauses
tied to the availability of the new generating capacity.
According to general market information, electricity consumption in the Nordic
countries is predicted to increase by slightly below 1% a year over the next few
years. A change in the overall economic conditions may affect short term demand
for electricity.
In early October 2008, the Nordic water reservoirs were about 6 TWh below the
long-term average and 11 TWh below the corresponding level of 2007. In
mid-October, the market price for emission allowances (EUA) for 2008 was about
EUR 22-23 per tonne CO2. At the same time, the electricity forward price for the
rest of 2008 was around EUR 53-58 per MWh, for 2009 around EUR 51-55 per MWh and
for 2010 around EUR 50-53 per MWh.
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. If Fortum did
not hedge any of its production volumes, a 1 EUR/MWh change in the Nordic spot
price would result in approximately a EUR 50 million change in Fortum's annual
operating profit.
At the beginning of October 2008, Fortum had hedged approximately 65% of the
Power Generation segment's estimated Nordic electricity sales volume for the
rest of 2008 at approximately EUR 46 per MWh. For the calendar year 2009,
approximately 55% of the Power Generation segment's estimated Nordic electricity
sales volume was hedged at approximately EUR 53 per MWh. For the calendar year
2010, approximately 20% was hedged at approximately EUR 55 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. Hedge prices are also influenced by changes in
the SEK/EUR exchange rates, as some of the hedges are conducted in SEK.
The acquisition of TGC-10 is expected to marginally dilute Fortum's EPS during
2008 and 2009. Fortum is in the process of reviewing the potential for further
efficiency improvements in TGC-10. The previously announced annual efficiency
improvements of at least EUR 30 million are expected to be exceeded.
Fortum's results in the first nine months of 2008 were good. The Group's
financial position and liquidity are strong. With its flexible and
climate-benign production portfolio, Fortum continues to be well positioned for
the future.

| 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
2007.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the Group's annual
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007, except for changes
listed below.
Early adoption of IFRS 8 Operating Segments
Following the acquisition of the Russian company TGC-10, Fortum has changed its
segment reporting during Q1 2008. A new Russia segment was introduced, which
then meant that the new segment structure has one segment based on geographical
area, combined with segments based on type of business operations. Due to the
change in segments structure, Fortum has early adopted IFRS 8 Operating
segments.
The new Russia segment includes:
- TGC-10, which has been consolidated from 31 March 2008 (see Note 7)
- the TGC-1 shareholding, which was transferred from the Power Generation
segment
- minor assets from shareholdings in Lenenergo spin-off companies, transferred
from Distribution, Markets and Other segments
In addition to introducing a new segment, assets and profits from the associated
company Hafslund have been transferred from Power Generation segment to Other
segment.
Segments Power Generation, Heat, Distribution and Markets as well as Other
remained as previously reported with exception from the items stated above.
Power Generation consists of the business units Generation, Portfolio Management
and Trading (PMT) as well as Service. The business units Generation and PMT have
from a financial reporting perspective one common set of financial measures. No
separate pricing mechanism is in use between the business units. Service
business unit provides services both internal and external, but its core
activities refer to Generation business. The two business units Heat and Värme
are aggregated to the Heat segment based on the similarity in the nature of
business, customers etc.
Financial target setting, follow up and allocation of resources in the Group's
performance management process are based on the business units' comparable
operating profit including share of profit from associated companies and
comparable return on net assets.
Consolidation by segment is based on the same principles as for the Group as a
whole. Inter-segment transactions are based on commercial terms. Due to the
large number of customers and the variety of its business activities, there are
no individual customer whose business volume is material compared with Fortum's
total business volume. Power Generation segment is selling the produced
electricity mainly through Nord Pool. For further information regarding the
segments business activities and geographical areas, see the Financial
statements 2007 Note 5 Primary Segment information.
Comparison numbers for 2007 have been restated, resulting in the following
effects in operating profit and non-recurring items:
- the non-recurring gain on the sale of Lenenergo shares (EUR 232 million) in Q3

New interpretations
The following new interpretations are mandatory for the financial year ending 31
December 2008:
- IFRIC 11 IFRS 2: Group and treasury share transactions The share-based payment
arrangements established within Fortum Group are not subject to IFRIC 11
because they are cash-settled.
- IFRIC 14 IAS 19 - The limit on a defined benefit asset, minimum funding
requirements and their interaction provides guidance how to assess the limit in
IAS 19 on the amount of the surplus that can be recognised as an asset in
particular when there is a minimum funding requirement. IFRIC 14 is not
expected to have a significant impact on Group's accounts. The interpretation
has not yet been endorsed in the EU.
- IFRIC 12 Service concession arrangements is not relevant to Fortum as no
member of the Group is a service concession operator providing for public sector
services. The interpretation has not yet been endorsed in the EU.
These new interpretations have not had any effect on the reported income
statement, balance sheet or disclosures.
For further information on accounting of associates, see Note 13 below.

| 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 2007.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 20 February 2008, Fortum, the Russian Territorial Generating Company No. 1
(TGC-1) and ECF Project Ltd signed an agreement according to which Fortum will
purchase approximately 5 million tonnes of emission reduction units (ERU) from
TGC-1. The ERUs will come from Joint Implementation projects conducted at
TGC-1's production facilities during the Kyoto Period (2008-2012) of the
European Emissions Trading Scheme.
Depending on the timing of the volumes, the agreement will fully be classified
as an own use contract and valued at cost. Since the timing, volumes (and also
the market price for the ERUs) are uncertain, the agreement is treated as an own
use contract until more information is available, i.e. with no impact to income
statement or balance sheet. The ERUs purchased cover approximately half of
Fortum's annual CO2 emissions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 7. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Gross investment in subsidiary shares (see definition of key figures)

No divestments of shares in subsidiaries have taken place during the period.
Acquisition of TGC-10
In March Fortum acquired 76.49% of TGC-10 which is a Russian territorial
generating company founded in 2006 and operating in the Urals and West Siberia
region. The total installed capacity is 3,000 MW electricity and 15,800 MW heat
with an annual production of 18 TWh electricity and 27 TWh heat. The company is
committed and contractually obligated to an extensive investment plan to further
increase its electricity capacity with 2,300 MW by 2013. The contractual
obligations of TGC-10's investment programme include penalty clauses tied to the
availability of the new generating capacity. Total sales for last twelve months
in TGC-10 were EUR 590 million and operating profit was EUR 26 million based on
Q3 2007 published Interim Financial statements.
The acquisition was made through an acquisition of shares and through
participation in a share issue. On 20 March 2008 Fortum paid for 47.42% of the
shares in TGC-10 through a share issue for approximately EUR 1.3 billion. The
capital received by TGC-10 will remain in the company and will be used to
finance its committed capacity investment programme planned at EUR 2.2 billion.
On 26 March Fortum paid for an additional 29.07% of the shares in TGC-10 from
United Energy Systems of Russia (RAO UES). 29 April Fortum filed the mandatory
public tender offer to TGC-10 minority shareholders. The offer was valid from 30
April until 18 July 2008. The tender offer covered 23.51% of the share capital
of TGC-10 and has been launched at a price of 111.8 roubles per share to be
fully paid in cash. At the end of September, Fortum's ownership in TGC-10 was
over 93% including the shares held by TGC-10's 100% owned subsidiary and by that
time Fortum had paid EUR 440 for share purchases under the MTO. Clearing of the
share transactions is still ongoing and the final results of the MTO will be
known and published at the latest at the end of October.
The gross investment for the total transaction was EUR 1,470 million, excluding
cash in TGC-10 (mainly coming from the share issue) and including
interest-bearing liabilities in the company. The purchase price allocation is
based on a preliminary balance sheet as of 31 March 2008 of TGC-10. The fair
value adjustments are still preliminary, since all valuation effects have not
been finalised, in particular regarding potential obligations. The main changes
from Q1 2008 were changes to provisions and property, plant and equipment both
in the preliminary balance sheet of TGC-10 as of 31 March and the purchase price
allocation. The Fortum Q3 2008 Interim report includes income statement effect
from TGC-10 from 1 April 2008.

| 9. INCOME TAX EXPENSE |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tax rate according to the income statement for the period January to September
2008 was 20.6% (15.2%). The tax rate for the period is higher than in the
comparable period 2007 mainly due to the impact of Hafslund's sale of REC shares
in March 2007, which impacted the share of profits from associates for the
period with approximately EUR 180 million.
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 Fortum's
share of profits after tax. The tax rate for the period calculated excluding the
share of profits from associates and joint ventures was 22.0% (22.3%).
The tax rate for the full year 2007, excluding the share of profits from
associates and Lenenergo sales gain was 22.3%.

Share of profits from associates and joint ventures
Share of profits from associates in Q3 EUR 8 million (2007: 6 million) mainly
represents Fortum's share of profits in Hafslund EUR 7 million (2007 : 8
million) and TGC-1 EUR 1 million. Fortum's share of profits for Q1-Q3 amounts
to EUR 78 million (2007: 223 million), of which Hafslund represents EUR 46
million (2007: 207 million). See below for accounting principles.
Investments
In Lithuania, Fortum acquired a 14.73% share in UAB Klaipedos Energija from
Stadtwerke Leipzig GmbH on 29 February 2008. Fortum now owns a 19.63% share of
the company. UAB Klaipedos Energija generates and distributes district heat to
the residents and industries in the cities of Klaipeda and Gargzdai. The net
sales of the company are around EUR 27 million, annual heat sales 1 terawatthour
(TWh) and power sales 20 gigawatthours (GWh). The investment was EUR 7 million.
The main part of the EUR 245 million investment in 2007 represents the share
issue in TGC-1 with EUR 243 million.
Increase through acquisition of subsidiaries
Through the acquisition of TGC-10 in the end of March 2008, Fortum acquired a
shareholding in Kurgan Generating Company.
Divestments
In Q3 2008 Fortum sold its 50% shareholding in Panjin Liaohe Fortum Thermal
Power Company Co in China. In Q3 2007 Fortum sold its slightly over 1/3 stake in
JSC Lenenergo for approximately EUR 295 million. The sales gain of EUR 232
million is presented in Other income.
Dividends received
Until Q3 2008 Fortum has received EUR 40 million in dividends from Hafslund and
Gasum. Until Q3 2007 Fortum received EUR 174 million in dividends from
associates, of which EUR 145 million from Hafslund following Hafslund's
divestment of REC shares in March 2007.
Fair value and other changes in equity
Fair value and other changes in equity mainly represents the fair value change
in Hafslund's shareholding in REC. In Q3 the fair value change of the REC shares
was EUR -90 million (2007: 79 million). The fair value change of the REC shares
since year-end was EUR -527 million (2007: 292 million).
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-September 2008 results on 28
October 2008.
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. In Fortum the same accounting treatment as relates
to REC applies to Hafslund's shareholding in Fesil Holding AS.
Since REC has been 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 sold 35 million shares in REC in March 2007. In accordance with the
accounting policy Fortum 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 in Q1 2007. The cumulative fair value change in
Fortum's equity, based on the remaining number of shares reported by Hafslund,
was EUR 266 million at 30 September 2008, which represents a decrease with EUR
527 milion from 31 December 2007.
Hafslund accounted for a value growth in Q2 2008 after establishing a new
ownership structure in Fesil Holding AS. The share of this value growth EUR 12
million has been recorded directly to equity in Q3 2008 in Fortum.
Accounting for the share of profits from TGC-1
Fortum ownes 25.7% of the shares in Territorial Generating Company 1, TGC-1.
TGC-1 was formed in late 2006 by mergers of several Russian companies. TGC-1 has
published IFRS 2007 Financial statements in June 2008. Fortum has in Q2 2008
reporting started to account TGC-1 according to the equity method as TGC-1
prepares IFRS financial statements annually. The share of profits will be
accounted for once a year in Q2 based on published IFRS Financial Statements for
the previous year.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The reported interest-bearing liabilities increased during the quarter by EUR
198 million from EUR 7,501 million to EUR 7,699 million. The increase in
interest -bearing liabilities during Q3 was linked to the execution of the
mandatory public tender offer (MTO) of TGC-10, which was financed by drawings
under existing Revolving Credit Facility. By end of September Fortum has paid
EUR 440 million under the MTO. No major new financing transactions were made in
the Group during the third quarter.
During the third quarter total liquid funds have decreased by EUR 68 million
from EUR 1,247 million to EUR 1,179 million including cash and bank deposits
held by TGC-10 amounting to EUR 1,109 million. The funds in TGC-10 are committed
to the investment program (see further in the Acquisition of TGC-10, note 7).
The liquid funds of EUR 1,179 million consist of cash EUR 663 million (including
bank deposits less than three months to maturity) and bank deposits EUR 516
million (over three months to maturity).
During the first quarter of 2008 Fortum raised a syndicated loan facility of
EUR 3,500 million. The loan facility is structured as a 3 year term loan of EUR
2,000 million to be used for acquisition financing of TGC-10, and as a 5 year
revolving credit facility of EUR 1,500 million to be used for general corporate
purposes. As per the end of the third quarter EUR 2, 500 million of these
facilities was drawn. Fortum total undrawn committed credit facilities were EUR
2.4 bn as end of September 2008.
On September 30, 2008 the average duration of the debt portfolio including
derivatives was 1.7 years ( 2007; 1.3 years) and the average interest rate of
loans and derivatives was 5.3 % (2007; 4.4% ). Approximately 74% (2007; 67 %)
was on floating rate basis or will be refinanced during the coming 12 months.

Nuclear related provisions
Fortum has submitted the yearly proposal for the nucelar waste management
liability regarding the Loviisa nuclear power plant to the Ministry of
Employment and the Economy. The liability is calculated according to the Nuclear
Energy Act and will be decided by Ministry of Employment and the Economy by the
end of January 2009. The proposal 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 future costs are estimated to increase mainly due
to the new limits for free release of materials set by authorities (STUK) which
has caused larger scope for future decommissioning of the nuclear power plant.
The legal liability at the end of 2008, based on the proposal to the Ministry of
Employment and the Economy and calculated according to the Nuclear Energy Act,
is 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 33 million compared to 30 June 2008,
totalling EUR 561 million as of 30 September 2008. 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.
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 estimated funding obligation target based on the proposed 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 137 million,
since Fortum's share of the Fund as of 30 September 2008 is EUR 698 million and
the carrying value in the balance sheet is EUR 561 million.
Effects to comparable operating profit and operating profit
Following the updated cost estimate, Fortum had in Q3 2008 a one-time effect to
Comparable operating profit of EUR -3 million in the Power Generation segment
mainly due to higher nuclear waste management costs related to already spent
fuel. In Q3 2007 a one-time effect of EUR - 13 million was reported following
the update of technical plan. Any costs increase which is related to already
spent fuel is always recognised immediately in Comparable 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 and 5.
Fortum had an effect from this adjustment in Q3 2008 of EUR +10 million compared
to EUR +33 million in Q3 2007. The cumulative effect in 2008 up to September
2008 was EUR -7 million compared to EUR +24 million in 2007.
Associated companies
As disclosed in the Financial Statement 2007, Fortum has not been able to
account for the nuclear related assets and provisions according to Fortum
accounting principles for its Swedish nuclear associated companies, since the
separate cash-flow information for the provisions is not available.

Pledged assets for debt
Finnish participants in the State Nuclear Waste Management Fund are allowed to
borrow from the Fund. In Q1 2008 Fortum increased the reborrowing from the Fund
(see Note 15) and therefore pledged additional Kemijoki shares as a security.
The total amount of shares pledged, have a carrying value of EUR 208 million
(145 million) as of 30 September 2008 (and 31 December 2007 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,
uncertainties and unexpected events.
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. The amount of real estate mortgages given as a security
have increased with EUR 103 million during Q2 2008.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other contingent liabilities on own behalf, EUR 858 million, have increased with
EUR 634 million since 31 December 2007. The main reason for the increase is that
Fortum has given a guarantee to cover payments relating to the mandatory public
tender offering for TGC-10. The guarantee expires at year-end 2008.
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.
The guarantee given on behalf of Teollisuuden Voima Oy (TVO) to the Finnish fund
has increased from EUR 32 million at year-end 2007 to EUR 70 million during Q2
2008. 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.
In Sweden, Fortum has given guarantees on behalf of Forsmarks Kraftgrupp AB and
OKG AB to the Swedish fund. Starting on 1 January 2008, a new law applies for
financing of future fees to the fund for spent nuclear fuel and decommisioning
of the plant. Following the implementation of the new law, the total amount of
guarantees relating to nuclear waste management in Sweden have increased from
SEK 1 841 million (EUR 188 million) at year-end 2007 to SEK 5 314 million (EUR
543 million) during Q2 2008. This amount will also apply for 2009.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 20. LEGAL ACTIONS AND OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In March the Finnish Market Court decision overruled the conditional decision
given by the Finnish Competition Authority in June 2006 on the acquisition of
E.ON Finland. In their ruling, the Market Court stated that the Finnish
Competition Authority had no grounds for setting conditions, because Fortum
cannot be condidered to have a dominant position in the power generation and
wholesale market. According to the Market Court, the relevant geographical
market area in power generation and wholesale consist of at least Finland and
Sweden. The Finnish Competition authority has appealed the decision to the
Supreme Administrative Court.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Norwegian Renewable Energy Corporation (REC) is partly owned by Fortum's
associated company Hafslund ASA. Fortum shows the fair value changes of REC in
equity. At end of September the cumulative fair value change booked in Fortum's
equity was EUR 266 million. REC's share price has decreased since the end of
September. Based on REC's closing price on 20 October the cumulative fair value
change in Fortum's equity would have been EUR 225 million.
Fortum is participating in the project to build the fifth Finnish nuclear power
unit (Olkiluoto 3) with a share of approximately 25%. Teollisuuden voima (TVO),
the company that is building and owns the unit, has received new schedule
information from the supplier (consortium Areva-Siemens). Based on the new
information, TVO currently estimates that the start-up of the plant may be
postponed until 2012, while it was earlier anticipated to take place during
2011. TVO has also stated that it has a fixed-price plant supply contract and
that it is not in a process of agreeing with the plant supplier on sharing the
consortium's losses, contrary to the information presented in media.
On 21 October, Fortum and Jyväskylän Energia agreed that Fortum will sell its
60% ownership in Jyväskylän Energiantuotanto Oy to Jyväskylän Energia. The
transaction and related arrangements will take effect on 1 January 2009. The
transaction means that ownership of a CHP plant with 115 MW electricity, 610 MW
district heating and 110 MW process steam capacity, and also the plant site will
be transferred to Jyväskylän Energia. The value of the shares sold to Jyväskylän
Energia is approximately EUR 40 million. The sales gain from the transaction
will be booked in Heat segment's fourth quarter operating profit.
