Fiskars President and CEO, Kari Kauniskangas:
"Fiskars' overall performance continued strongly in the third quarter. I am
pleased to see that our hard work and tighter focus on our businesses and
brands are starting to pay off.
All our business areas in Europe improved both their net sales and operating
profit. Sales in the Americas developed positively, despite the divestments
made in 2009. Favorable currency rates also contributed to higher net sales.
We have launched a number of new exiting products and as a result,
strengthened our brands and market position.
We have improved our performance throughout the year. This gives us an
excellent starting-point for the holiday season, which is important
particularly for the Home business area."

Net sales in EMEA in the third quarter increased 13% to EUR 112.2 million
(99.5). Using comparable currency rates, sales were up 9%.
The Home business area continued to perform strongly. Sales development was
good in Finland and Norway in particular. The company's key international
brands, Iittala and Fiskars, developed well. Sales of school, office, and
craft products declined in the quarter.
The Garden business area had strong overall development. Sales of Fiskars-
branded products improved, primarily those of cutting tools. The launch of a
new ax product range and marketing campaigns in Germany and France
contributed to this growth.
The Outdoor business area developed well. Sales of boats and outdoor
equipment under the Silva and Gerber brands were up. The Buster brand
continued as the market leader in boats in Finland with a record high market
share.
The segment recorded an operating profit of EUR 9.3 million (5.9). Better
efficiency at production plants and outsourcing resulting from higher volumes
contributed to an improved operating profit in the Home and Garden business
areas. The profitability for the boat business developed favorably, but was
still weak.

Net sales in the Americas increased by 13% to EUR 49.2 million (43.7). A
favorable currency rate against USD contributed to the growth in net sales.
Using comparable currency rates, sales were up 1%.
Net sales at the Garden business area developed well, and growth was
particularly strong in Canada. Sales of garden tools and two new categories -
rain barrels and reel mowers - continued to increase.
Sales in the Home business area, which consists of school, office, and craft
(SOC) products, developed positively, thanks to successful back-to-school
campaigns.
In the Outdoor business area, net sales decreased due to the Brunton
divestment in December 2009. Gerber's product sales, however, grew during the
quarter.
The segment's operating profit rose to EUR 5.4 million (4.6) due to higher
volumes in Garden and a better product mix and lower cost levels in the
Outdoor business area.

September. Fiskars was not informed of any significant changes among its
largest shareholders during the reporting period.
Risks and business uncertainties
Fiskars' business, sales, and financial performance may be affected by
several uncertainties. The principal uncertainties are related to:
- General market conditions and a potential decline in consumer demand in
Fiskars' major market areas in Europe and North America
- Loss of or reduced sales to major retail customers, retailers' financial
difficulties, and disruptions in the activities of a distribution channel
- Availability of products due to supply chain issues
- Adverse weather conditions in the Garden business area
- Seasonal variations, which can make predicting developments more difficult,
especially in the Home business area, which is heavily geared towards the
end of the year
- Sudden fluctuations in raw material and energy prices; the most important
raw materials being steel, aluminum, and plastic
- Major changes in the profitability of associated company Wärtsilä or its
ability to pay dividends.
Outlook for 2010
Consumer confidence and retailer purchasing have improved in Europe, but
market developments in the Americas remain cautious and more difficult to
predict.
Fiskars has strengthened its business and continued implementing measures
designed to improve its profitability and competitiveness in 2010.
Investments in brands and product development will continue to be increased,
as the Group's capabilities in these areas are central to its success.
The outlook for 2010 remains unchanged. Fiskars' net sales in 2010 are
expected to be above 2009 levels. Full-year operating profit, excluding non-
recurring items, is expected to increase compared to 2009.
Associated company Wärtsilä will continue to have a major impact on Fiskars'
profit and cash flow in 2010.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This interim financial statement bulletin is prepared in accordance with
IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting) using the same accounting policies and
methods of computation as in the previous annual financial statements.
The interim financial statements are unaudited.
All figures in the accounts have been rounded and consequently the sum of
individual figures can deviate from the presented sum figure.
The previous year's figures include changes due to reclassification of
certain accounts. The main impacts of the reclassification for 2009 are
summarized below:
- net sales EUR -0.5 million in Q3 2009, EUR -1.7 in Q1-Q3 2009
and EUR -2.6 million in full year 2009
- gross profit EUR -1.1 million in Q3 2009, EUR -3.1 million in Q1-Q3 2009
and EUR -5.6 million in full year 2009
- the operating profit (EBIT) of 2009 is unchanged.
Additionally, Fiskars has adopted following definitions for employee
reporting in 2010:
Personnel, end of period = active employees in payroll at the end of period.
Personnel (FTE), average = full-time equivalent number of
employees according to worked volume during the period.
Fiskars has applied hedge accounting to changes in the fair value of
derivatives designated, qualifying, and effective as cash flow hedges.
The changes are recognized in Other comprehensive income.
The share series of Fiskars Corporation were combined in July 2009.
The earnings per share (EPS) in the comparison year´s second half includes
the effect from the change in the number of shares after the combination.
The Group has implemented new or amended IAS/IFRS standards and interpretations
mandatory as of January 1, 2010. Of these the most important are:
- Annual improvements to IFRS
- Revised IFRS 3 Business Combinations
- Amended IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
The adoption of the standards above had no impact on the reported
results or financial position.
Use of estimates:
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the valuation of the
reported assets and liabilities and other information, such as contingent
liabilities and the recognition of income and expenses in the income statement.
Although the estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current
events and actions, actual results may differ from the estimates.
