Huhtamaki revises 2006 full year result estimate slightly downwards

Huhtamäki Oyj is revising its estimate for the full year 2006 downwards. The
underlying EBIT is expected to remain slightly lower than in 2005.

The reason for the revised estimate is the weaker than expected result in certain
Europe Rigid units in the fourth quarter. The results of the other regions are
expected to be largely in line with the Group's earlier outlook.

According to the earlier outlook the underlying EBIT was expected to show a
moderate improvement over 2005.

Huhtamaki will publish its 2006 Results on February 15, 2007.
