*Adjusted for REC and Lenenergo gains
The year 2007 was characterised by high precipitation and mild winter
temperatures. Throughout the year, a strong hydrological situation combined with
low CO2 emission allowance prices led to low Nordic spot prices. Despite the
challenging market conditions, Fortum improved its performance compared to
previous year. The company's financial position remained strong. Net cash from
operating activities improved to EUR 1,670 (1,151) million.
In the first quarter, Fortum booked a gain of EUR 180 million after its
associated company, Hafslund ASA in Norway, had sold shares in Renewable Energy
Corporation (REC). This corresponds to EUR 0.20 per share in Fortum's
first-quarter result. In the third quarter, Fortum sold its stake in the Russian
JSC Lenenergo for EUR 295 million. This resulted in a gain of EUR 232 million
which corresponds to EUR 0.26 per share in Fortum's third-quarter result.
Fortum participated in the share issue of the Russian Territorial Generating
Company 1 (TGC-1) in the third quarter and maintained its 25.7% ownership. The
total value of Fortum's subscription was EUR 243 million.
In 2007, the Power Generation segment's achieved Nordic power price was EUR 39.7
(37.1) per megawatt-hour, up by 7% from previous year and clearly higher than
the average spot price of electricity in Nord Pool, the Nordic power exchange.
This was mainly thanks to Fortum's consistent hedging strategy. The average spot
price of electricity in Nord Pool was EUR 27.9 (48.6) per megawatt-hour (MWh),
approximately 43% lower than the same period previous year.

January - December
Group sales were EUR 4,479 (4,491) million.
Group operating profit totalled EUR 1,847 (1,455) million. Comparable operating
profit increased by EUR 127 million to EUR 1,564 (1,437) million. The Power
Generation and Heat segments contributed to the increase.
The gain on the sale of Lenenergo shares increased third-quarter operating
profit by EUR 232 million. The gain was booked in the Distribution segment's
operating profit.
Profit before taxes was EUR 1,934 (1,421) million.
The Group's net financial expenses increased to EUR 154 (103) million. The
increase is mainly attributable to a higher average level of debt and a lower,
EUR 7 (30) million, change in the fair value of derivatives.
The share of profit of associates and joint ventures was EUR 241 (69) million.
The biggest contributor was Hafslund ASA in Norway. In the first quarter,
Hafslund announced that it had completed the sale of 35 million shares in
Renewable Energy Corporation (REC) at NOK 138 per share. As a consequence,
Fortum booked a gain of EUR 180 million, corresponding to EUR 0.20 per share, in
its first-quarter result. After this transaction, Hafslund still owns 70.4
million shares in REC. Fortum ownership in Hafslund ASA is 34%.
Hafslund 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
cumulative fair value change booked in Fortum's equity and based on the
remaining number of shares reported by Hafslund was approximately EUR 790
million at the end of December 2007.
Fortum received EUR 145 million in dividends from Hafslund in the second
quarter. EUR 123 million of the dividends was due to the sale of REC shares.
Minority interests accounted for EUR 56 (49) million. The minority interests are
mainly attributable to Fortum Värme Holding, in which the City of Stockholm has
a 50% economic interest.
Taxes for the period totalled EUR 326 (301) million. The tax rate according to
the income statement was 16.9% (21.2%), mainly due to the high share of profit
of associates and the capital gain from the sale of Lenenergo shares. Excluding
the share of profits of associates and Lenenergo sales gain, the tax rate was
22.3% (22.3%).
The profit for the period was EUR 1,608 (1,120) million. Fortum's earnings per
share were EUR 1.74 (1.22). Return on capital employed was 16.5% for the year
(13.4% for 2006), and return on shareholders' equity was 19.1% for the year
(14.4% for 2006). In 2007 return on capital employed and return on shareholders'
equity, excluding the REC and Lenenergo gains, were 14.0% and15.8%,
respectively.
Market conditions
According to preliminary statistics, the Nordic countries consumed 397 (393)
terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity in 2007, an increase of about 1% from
previous year. During the last quarter the consumption was 108 (103) TWh, 5%
more than the year before.
In the beginning of 2007, the Nordic water reservoirs were at the long-term
average level. However, throughout the rest of the year, the reservoirs were
above the long-term average. The fourth quarter started with the Nordic water
reservoirs being 7 TWh above the long-term average. At the end of December, they
were 8 TWh above the long-term average and 11 TWh above the corresponding level
in 2006.
During the fourth quarter, the average spot price for power in Nord Pool was EUR
42.7 (44.6) per megawatt-hour or 4% lower than in the corresponding period in
2006. During 2007, the average spot price for power in Nord Pool was EUR 27.9
(48.6) per megawatt-hour, or 43% lower than in 2006. The low spot price was due
to the strong hydrological situation and low CO2 emission prices for 2007.
During the fourth quarter, the average market price for 2007 CO2 emissions was
EUR 0.07 (9.7) per tonne CO2, or 99% lower than in the corresponding period in
2006. During year 2007, the average market price for CO2 emissions was EUR 0.7
(18.5) per tonne, or 96 % lower than in the previous year.
During the second half of 2007, coal prices increased dramatically. Oil prices
increased during most of the year and reached historically high levels, peaking
close to 100 US dollars per barrel towards the end of the year.
In Germany, the average spot price for the fourth quarter was higher compared to
the Nordic area, resulting in a net export from the Nordic area to Germany.
Total power and heat generation figures
Fortum's total power generation during 2007 was 52.2 (54.4) TWh, of which 51.1
(53.2) TWh was in the Nordic countries, representing 13% (14%) of the total
Nordic electricity consumption.
At year end, Fortum's total power generating capacity was10,920 (10,913) MW, of
which 10,775 (10,768) MW was in the Nordic countries. At year end, Fortum's
total heat production capacity was 11,223 (10,883) MW, of which 9,381 (9,239) MW
was in the Nordic countries.
During the year 2007, approximately 89% (84%) of the generated power was
CO2-free. A preliminary estimate for CO2 emissions from Fortum's own power
plants in 2007 totals 10.4 (11.0) million tonnes, 0.6 million tonnes lower than
in the previous year. The emissions subject to EU's emissions trading scheme
were about 9.8 (10.6) million tonnes. Both figures include Fortum's 308 MW share
of the Meri-Pori power plant that was leased out in January 2007. The average
volume of emission allowances allocated to Fortum's installations in various
countries totalled approximately 8.1 million tonnes per year during 2005-2007.

The segment's power generation during the fourth quarter amounted to 12.2 (13.0)
TWh in the Nordic countries.
In January-December, the segment's power generation in the Nordic countries was
46.1 (48.3) TWh, of which about 20.0 (19.8) TWh or 43% (41%) was
hydropower-based, 24.9 (24.4) TWh or 54% (51%) nuclear power-based, and 1.2
(4.1) TWh or 3% (8%) thermal power-based. Although the availability of the
Swedish nuclear power plants increased slightly compared to 2006, the prolonged
overhauls and unplanned shutdowns had a negative effect of approximately 1.3 TWh
on the nuclear power production. Less thermal power was generated due to the low
spot price. In January-December, approximately 95% (89%) of the segment's power
generation was CO2-free.
At year end, the segment's power generation capacity totalled 9,560 (9,540) MW,
of which 9,420 (9,400) MW was in the Nordic countries and 140 (140) MW in other
countries.

*) For the Power Generation segment in the Nordic countries, excluding
pass-through sales.
Fortum Generation's achieved Nordic power price (excluding pass-through items)
in the fourth quarter was EUR 43.0 per megawatt-hour, up by 14% from a year ago,
thanks to hedging. During 2007, Fortum Generation's achieved Nordic power price
was EUR 39.7 per megawatt-hour, up by 7% from a year ago, while the average spot
price in Nord Pool was EUR 27.9 per megawatt-hour, down by 43% from 2006. The
related sales volume was 12.7 (13.2) TWh in the fourth quarter and 46.6 (49.4)
TWh for the whole year.
In the fourth quarter, the comparable operating profit of the Power Generation
segment was clearly higher than in the corresponding period in the previous
year. The higher achieved Nordic power price and increased nuclear volume
generation contributed positively. This was partly offset by lower thermal and
hydro power generation volumes.
In January-December, the comparable operating profit was higher than previous
year. The segment's achieved Nordic power price was higher due to the higher
hedge prices. Also increased hydropower and nuclear power generation volumes
contributed positively. Poor performance in Fortum Service and the one-time
effect from higher nuclear waste management costs reported in the third quarter
decreased comparable operating profit.
In 2007, Fortum's total CO2 emissions subject to EU's emissions trading scheme
were 9.8 million tons, which exceeded Fortum's CO2 emission allowance allocation
for the year by 1.3 million tons. However, the Power Generation segment
benefited from the insightful timing of CO2 allowance forward sales. Sales
contracts made during or before the first quarter 2006 with a December 2007
delivery date contributed EUR 32 million in the fourth quarter results.
Fortum's legal nuclear waste management liability is calculated according to the
Nuclear Energy Act and will be confirmed by the Ministry of Employment and the
Economy in early 2008. The future costs will increase mainly due to the new
technical solution related to filling material for the tunnels in the final
repository. The legal liability increased by approximately EUR 130 million.
Fortum is obligated to contribute the funds in full to the State Nuclear Waste
Management Fund to cover the legal liability. Fortum was granted periodising of
the payments to the fund over six years. The decision was made by the Council of
State in December 2007. Fortum booked a one-time effect from higher nuclear
waste management costs in its third-quarter results.
In July 2007, the Finnish Government granted new operating licences to Loviisa
nuclear power plant units 1 and 2. The licences were applied for by Fortum Power
and Heat Oy in November 2006. For Loviisa 1, the new licence is valid until the
end of 2027, and for Loviisa 2 until the end of 2030. The current licences,
which were granted in 1998, expire at the end of 2008. Fortum's Loviisa power
plant has produced nuclear power for thirty years.
In 2007, Fortum's Loviisa nuclear power plant exceeded the 8 TWh production
limit for the second time in the history of the plant. Unit 2 reached an
all-time high with over 4 TWh. The combined capacity factor for the two units at
the Loviisa power plant was high, 95.4%.
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 been informed by the
supplier (consortium Areva-Siemens) that the unit will start operation in summer
2011.
In June 2007, Fortum submitted to the Finnish Ministry of Trade and Industry the
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) programme regarding a new nuclear power
plant possibly to be built at Hästholmen island in Loviisa. The Ministry gave
its statement about the programme in October. Fortum compiles the actual EIA
report based on this programme and the statements received about it. The EIA
report will be submitted to the Ministry by summer 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 by 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.

The segment's heat sales during the fourth quarter amounted to 8.3 (7.2) TWh,
most of which was generated in the Nordic countries. In January-December, heat
sales totalled 25.1 (24.7) TWh. During the same periods, power sales at combined
heat and power plants (CHP) totalled 1.7 (1.7) TWh and 5.0 (5.0) TWh,
respectively.
The Heat segment's comparable operating profit during the fourth quarter was EUR
25 million higher than previous year. The weather was colder than previous year
but the temperature was still above the long-term average. Colder weather and
organic growth resulted in higher sales volumes. Also efficiency improvements in
Poland improved the results.
The comparable operating profit of the Heat segment in the year 2007 was EUR 37
million higher than previous year. An efficient fuel mix had a positive impact
on the results in Sweden. Also the acquisition of Fortum Espoo (E.ON Finland)

The number of district heating customers increased in 2007, thanks to successful
new sales in all markets.

electricity to a total of 1.6 million customers in Sweden, Finland, Norway and
Estonia.

In 2007, the volume of distribution and regional network transmissions totalled
26.0 (24.6) TWh and 18.1 (18.1) TWh, respectively.
Electricity transmissions via the regional distribution network totalled 14.9
(15.0) TWh in Sweden and 3.2 (3.1) TWh in Finland.
The comparable operating profit of the Distribution segment was EUR 50 million
in the fourth quarter, EUR 27 million lower than previous year. The decrease is
mainly due to costs for automatic meter installations in Sweden, and also due to
the one-time price adjustment during the last quarter in Finland in order to
reduce the difference to the regulated income level for the period 2005-2007.
Fortum Distribution refrained from charging around 400,000 Finnish distribution
customers the fixed monthly fee during December 2007.
The comparable operating profit of the segment was 231 million EUR for the whole
year, EUR 19 million lower than previous year. The main reason for the decrease
in 2007 compared to previous year was the EUR 13 million costs caused by the
storms in the first half of the year. The new customer and billing system in
Sweden continued to cause extra costs in 2007. Also automatic meter
installations in Sweden and the one-time price adjustment during the last
quarter in Finland decreased operating profit. The acquisition of Fortum Espoo
(E.ON Finland) contributed positively to the segment.
The after-tax gain of EUR 232 million from selling the holding in JSC Lenenergo
has been booked in Distribution segment's third-quarter operating profit.

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.

During the fourth-quarter, Markets' electricity sales totalled 10.5 (11.5) TWh
with sales for the whole year amounting to 39.6 (42.1) TWh.
The Markets segment's fourth quarter comparable operating profit was slightly
negative, but improved from previous year. The improved year-on-year performance
is mainly explained by lower electricity procurement costs. However, procurement
costs increased from the third quarter driven by increasing Nord Pool wholesale
power prices, leading to a sequentially deteriorating sales margin.
In 2007, the segment was unable to achieve a positive comparable operating
profit. This was partly due to retail sales in Finland where consumer prices
lagged behind Markets' procurement prices (Nord Pool wholesale power prices).
The new customer and billing system in Sweden continued to cause extra costs in
2007.
Despite the tight price competition, Fortum's customer net flow in Finland was
clearly positive in 2007, mainly due to increasing sales of environmentally
labelled electricity products. Fortum is the market leader on the Nordic market
in selling environmentally labelled electricity. Markets' Nordic customer net
flow in 2007 was slightly negative due to tightened competition especially in
Sweden.
The SKI (Svensk Kvalitetsindex) customer satisfaction survey in Sweden and EPSI
(Extended Performance Satisfaction Index) in Finland showed that the customer
satisfaction among Fortum's customers improved clearly in 2007.
Capital expenditures, divestments and investments in shares
Capital expenditures and investments in shares in January-December totalled EUR
972 (1,395) million. Investments, excluding acquisitions, were EUR 655 (485)
million.
POWER GENERATION
In September, Fortum participated in the share issue of the Russian TGC-1,
subscribing to new shares in the company. The total value of Fortum's
subscription was approximately EUR 243 million. With this subscription, Fortum
maintained its 25.7% stake in TGC-1 and its position as the second largest
shareholder of the company.
HEAT
In July 2007, Fortum acquired the district heating company EC Wojkowice in
Poland. The annual heat sales of the company total some 64 GWh and electricity
sales 320 MWh. The company has 34 employees.
The CHP projects in Suomenoja, Finland, in Czestochowa, Poland, and in Tartu,
Estonia, are proceeding. The preparations are continuing for the CHP plants in
Värtan and Brista in Sweden and in Järvenpää, Finland.
The ownership of Vattenfall's heat operations in Pärnu, Estonia and Riga,
Latvia, were transferred to Fortum in January and February, respectively.
In November, Fortum Värme received environmental permit for the biofuel-based
CHP plant in Värtan. The environmental permit also covers the installation of
flue gas condensers in the existing units at the Värtan plant and this work is
already on-going.
DISTRIBUTION
Fortum sold its slightly over 1/3 stake in JSC Lenenergo for approximately EUR
295 million. The decision to sell the Lenenergo shares is in line with Fortum's
strategy in Russia to invest primarily in generation assets. The current
business of Lenenergo is electricity distribution in the city of St. Petersburg
and the Leningrad region.
The investments in automatic meters in Sweden amounted to EUR 64 million in
2007.
Financing
During the fourth quarter, Fortum's net debt increased by EUR 10 million. At
year end, the interest-bearing net debt stood at EUR 4,466 (4,345) million,
resulting in a total increase in net debt of EUR 121 million for the year. The
increase in net debt is primarily linked to capital returns and ongoing
investment programme. In April Fortum paid dividends amounting to EUR 1,122
million. Net debt to EBITDA, excluding the nonrecurring gains, was 2.2 at the
end of the quarter.
The Group's net financial expenses for the fourth quarter were EUR 37 (25)
million and for the full year 2007 EUR 154 (103) million. The increase is mainly
attributable to higher average net debt and somewhat higher average interest
rates in 2007. However, net financial expenses include fair value gains on
financial instruments of EUR 3 (6) million for the quarter and EUR 7 (30)
million for the full year.
The average interest rate of Fortum's interest-bearing gross debt (including
derivatives) in 2007 was 4.3% (4.1%).
Group liquidity remained good. Year-end cash and marketable securities totaled
EUR 427 (157) million. In addition, the Group had a total of EUR 1.4 (1.3)
billion available for drawings under committed credit facilities, including the
EUR 1.2 billion syndicated revolving credit facility due in 2011 and bilateral
overdraft facilities which are renewed on an annual basis.
During the year Fortum raised approx. EUR 850 million in new long-term financing
to finance capital returns, maturing loans and the ongoing investment programme.
The tenors of these financing arrangements varied between 5 and 10 years and
consisted of a SEK 6.1 billion (approx. EUR 660 million) bond issue as well as
bilateral loan contracts of SEK 1.75 billion (approx. EUR 190 million).
Fortum Corporation'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 2007, a total of 787.4 (830.8) million Fortum Corporation shares
totalling EUR 18,562 million were traded. Fortum's market capitalisation,
calculated using the closing quotation of the last trading day of the year, was
EUR 27,319 million. The highest quotation of Fortum Corporation shares on the
Helsinki Stock Exchange in 2007 was EUR 31.44, the lowest EUR 20.01, and the
volume weighted average quotation EUR 23.73. The closing quotation on the last
trading day of the year was EUR 30.81 (21.56).
Relating to the 2002B share option scheme, a total of 3.0 million options for a
total of EUR 58.9 million were traded during 2007.
A total of 5,199,412 (13,759,621) shares subscribed on the basis of share option
schemes were entered into the trade register in 2007. The Board of Directors of
Fortum Corporation has cancelled a total of 5,910,000 repurchased Fortum shares
according to the authorisation given to the Board of Directors in the Annual
General Meeting of Shareholders on 28 March 2007. The average price for the
repurchased own shares was EUR 29.69, the lowest price EUR 28.60 and the highest
price EUR 30.63. At the end of 2007, Fortum Corporation did not own its own
shares.
After registrations and the cancellation, Fortum Corporation's share capital is
EUR 3,040,460,397.20 and the total number of registered shares is 886,683,058
(887,393,646) at the end of 2007. The share capital of Fortum Corporation
increased by a total of EUR 17,678,000.80 (46,782,711).
At year end the amount of shares that can still be registered for under the
share option schemes is a maximum of 0.2% (1,683,987 shares) of Fortum's 2007
year-end share capital and voting rights.
At year end, the Finnish state's holding in Fortum was 50.9%. The proportion of
nominee registrations and direct foreign shareholders was 35.8%.
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 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. In 2007, Fortum
used this authorisation by repurchasing 5.91 million of its own shares at a
total price of approximately EUR 175 million. These shares have been cancelled.
Group personnel
The average number of employees in the Group during the period from January to
December was 8,304 (8,910). The number of employees at the end of the period was
8,303 (8,134).
Russia
Fortum's main holdings in Russia stem from its past ownership in JSC Lenenergo,
an integrated power and heat company in the St. Petersburg region. In late 2005,
the company's generation assets were spun-off and a regional generation company,
TGC-1, was formed. JSC Lenenergo continued as a regional distribution company.
In the third quarter 2007, Fortum sold its holding in JSC Lenenergo. The sale
was in line with Fortum's strategy in Russia of focusing on power generation.
Fortum maintained its 25.7% ownership in the regional generation company TGC-1.
Fortum is evaluating opportunities to participate in share issues and ownership
restructurings in the Russian power generation sector in order to further
strengthen its position in the Russian wholesale power market.
In October, Fortum sold its approximately 0.7% holding in the Russian Wholesale
Generating Company 5 (WGC-5) for EUR 28 million.
Events after the period under review
The 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 year end, the cumulative fair value change booked in Fortum's equity
was approximately EUR 790 million. REC's share price has decreased since the
year end. Based on REC's closing price on 29 January, the cumulative fair value
change in Fortum's equity would have been approximately EUR 400 million.
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 Swedish krona exchange rate also
affects Fortum's reported results, 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 on Fortum's risks and risk management,
see Fortum's Operating and Financial Review and Financial Statements.
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-January 2008, the Nordic water reservoirs were about 9 TWh above the
long-term average and 6 TWh above the corresponding level of 2007. In
late-January, the market price for emissions allowances for 2008 was about EUR
20-21 per tonne of CO2. At the same time, the electricity forward price for the
rest of 2008 was around EUR 44-45 per MWh and for 2009 around EUR 49-51 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 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 January 2008, Fortum had hedged approximately 70% of the
Power Generation segment's estimated Nordic electricity sales volume for the
year 2008 at approximately EUR 44 per MWh. For the calendar year 2009,
approximately 25% of the Power Generation segment's estimated Nordic electricity
sales volume was hedged at approximately EUR 46 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.
The Swedish government has increased nuclear capacity and hydro property tax
rates. It has also introduced changes in the Swedish CO2-tax. Fortum estimates
that the additional cost from the tax rate increases and changes will be just
under EUR 30 million in 2008.
Fortum's results in 2007 were good, despite challenging market conditions and
low Nord Pool spot prices. The Group's financial position is strong. With its
flexible and climate-benign production portfolio, Fortum continues to be well
positioned for the future.
Dividend distribution proposal
The parent company's distributable equity as of 31 December 2007 amounted to EUR
3,119 million. After the end of the financial period there have been no material
changes in the financial position of the Company.
The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that Fortum
Corporation pay a cash dividend of EUR 1.35 per share for 2007, totalling EUR 1
197 million based on the number of registered shares as of 30 January 2008. Of
this total dividend, EUR 0.77 per share is to be paid from Fortum's recurring
earnings. An additional dividend of EUR 0.58 per share is proposed in order to
steer Fortum's capital structure towards the target.
Proposal of the Board of Directors to authorise the Board of Directors to decide
to repurchase the company's own shares
The Board of Directors of Fortum Corporation proposes that the Annual General
Meeting of Shareholders on 1 April 2008 will authorise the Board of Directors to
decide to repurchase the company's own shares by using non-restricted equity.
The authorisation is proposed to be valid until the next Annual General Meeting.
The shares will be repurchased in order to steer Fortum's capital structure
towards the target.
The maximum amount of shares to be repurchased is 15 million shares. In
addition, the amount of funds used for the repurchases may not exceed EUR 300
million.
The shares will be repurchased through public trading of the securities on the
Helsinki Stock Exchange, which means that they will not be purchased in
proportion to the holdings of the shareholders. The repurchase price of the
shares will be based on the public trading price of Fortum shares.
Shares repurchased by the company shall be cancelled by a separate decision of
the Board of Directors.
The Annual General Meeting will be held on 1 April 2008 at 1:00 pm at the
Finlandia Hall in Helsinki.

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 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, except for
changes listed below.
The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that
have been considered to be relevant for the Group have been adopted by the Group
as of 1 January 2007.
- IFRS 7 Financial instruments: Disclosures and a complementary amendment to
IAS 1, Presentation of Financial statements - Capital disclosures.
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 requires the
determination of whether the arrangement contains embedded derivatives, which
have to be reported separately as derivative instruments.
- IFRIC 10 Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment: IFRIC 10 denies to
reverse the impairment charge reported in interim report at later closing dates
of the financial year.
These newly adopted standards and interpretations have not had any effect on the
reported income statement, balance sheet or disclosures.
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.
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 2006.

9. INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Tax rate according to the income statement for the period January to December
2007 was 16.9% (21.2%). The tax rate for the period is low 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 and
the capital gain, EUR 232 million, from sale of JSC Lenenergo shares in August
2007. 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 calculated excluding the share
of profits from associates and joint ventures and excluding the sales gain for
the sale of the Lenenergo shares was 22.3% (22.3%).

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-December 2007 results on 8
February 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.
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
approximately EUR 790 million at 31 December 2007.
Share issues
In September Fortum participated in the share issue of Russian Territorial
Generating Company 1 (TGC-1) subscribing to 243,691,499,640 new shares in the
company.
At 0.035 rubles per share, the total value of Fortum's subscription was
approximately 8.5 billion rubles or EUR 243 million. With this subscription,
Fortum maintained its 25.7% stake in TGC-1 and its position as the second
largest shareholder of the company.
Fortum also participated in the share issue of Teollisuuden Voima Oy (TVO) with
a total amount of EUR 49 million. Olkiluoto 3, the nuclear power plant being
built by TVO, is funded through share issues and shareholder loans according to
shareholder agreements between the owners of TVO.
Dividends received
Fortum has received a total of EUR 179 million in dividend income from
associated companies, of which the dividend from Hafslund represents EUR 145
million.
Divestment of JSC Lenenergo
In August Fortum sold its slightly over 1/3 stake in JSC Lenenergo for
approximately EUR 295 million. The buyers were VTB Bank, I.D.E. Electricity
Distribution Investments 1 Ltd and the Russian energy company RAO UES. As a
consequence, Fortum has booked an after tax gain of EUR 232 million. The sales
gain is presented in Other income.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the year Fortum raised SEK 7,850 million (EUR 831 million) of new
long-term financing which was used partly to refinance maturing SEK and EUR
denominated loans of EUR 441 million. The maturities of the new financing
arrangements varied between 5 and 10 years and consisted of two in total SEK
6,100 million (EUR 646 million) bonds issued under Fortum's Euro Medium Term
Note programme, as well as two bilateral loan arrangements of in total SEK 1,750
million (EUR 185 million). The reported interest-bearing debt increased by EUR
391 million to EUR 4,893 (4,502) million at year end.
During the fourth quarter 2007, overdraft facilities amounting to EUR 150
million, SEK 500 million and NOK 100 million was established replacing overdraft
facilities of EUR 325 million and SEK 1,000 million (EUR 106 million). The new
overdraft agreement runs for one year. As per year end none of the overdraft
facilities were drawn.
The Nybroviken Kraft AB (Nykab) financing arrangement of Swedish hydropower
assets originally established in 1990, consisting of loans (SEK 2,000 million)
and preference shares (SEK 890 million classified as interest-bearing liability
according to IAS 32 and IAS 39), was terminated on 31 October 2007, by Fortum
Generation AB exercising it's call option to purchase all outstanding loans and
preference shares under the agreement. The termination of the financing
arrangement had a negative cash-flow effect on the quarter and the full year as
accrued interest gradually accumulating since the start of the agreement
amounting to EUR 58 million (SEK 543 million) was settled and paid. The assets
that were pledged as a security for the loans, have been released.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fortum submitted the yearly proposal for the nuclear waste management liability
regarding the Loviisa nuclear power plant to the Ministry of Employment and the
Economy (previously the Ministry of Trade and Industry) in September. The
liability is calculated according to the Nuclear Energy Act and is decided by
the Ministry of Employment and the Economy in January every year. The proposal
is based on an updated cost estimate, which is done every year, and on a new
technical plan, which is made every third year. Based on the new plan, the
future costs are estimated to increase mainly due to the new technical solution
related to filling material for the tunnels in the final repository.
According to the Nuclear Energy Act, Fortum is obligated to contribute the funds
in full to the State Nuclear Waste Management Fund to cover the legal liability.
Fortum applied for periodising of the payments to the Fund, due to the proposed
increase in the legal liability, over six years based on the law. The
application was approved by Council of State in December 2007.
The legal liability at the end of 2007, based on the decision by the Ministry of
Employment and the Economy and calculated according to the Nuclear Energy Act in
Finland, is EUR 816 million. The carrying value of the nuclear provision in the
balance sheet, calculated according to IAS 37, have increased with EUR 66
million compared to 31 December 2006, totalling EUR 516 million as of 31
December 2007. The increase of the provision has caused a negative one-time
effect of EUR 13 million in comparable operating profit in Q3 2007 due to
higher nuclear waste management costs related to already spent fuel. 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 to net
present value.
The proposal to the Council of State for periodisation of the payments to the
State Nuclear Waste Management Fund has an impact on cash-flow, but also on
operating profit since the carrying value of the Fund cannot exceed the carrying
value of the nuclear provision according to IFRIC Interpretation 5. The Fund is
from an IFRS perspective overfunded with EUR 157 million, since Fortum's share
of the Fund as of 31 December 2007 is EUR 673 million and the carrying value in
the balance sheet is EUR 516 million.
Operating profit for 2007 includes a positive cumulative adjustment of EUR 17
(0) million, due to the increase of the carrying value of the Fund in the
balance sheet as a result of the increased provision. The positive effect on Q3
2007 was EUR 33 (-2) million. In Q4 the adjustment is negative, EUR -7 (-4)
million, since the value of the Fund has increased more than the carrying value
of the provision. These adjustments are included in "Other items effecting
comparability" in the Power Generation segment, see Note 4 Primary segment
information, and are not included in comparable operating profit. As long as the
Fund stays overfunded from an IFRS perspective, positive accounting effects to
Operating profit will always occur when the nuclear provision is increasing more
than the net payments to the Fund. Negative accounting effects will occur when
the net payments to the Fund are higher than the increase of the provision.
The funding obligation target for the current year is decided by the Ministry of
Employment and the Economy in January when the legal liability has been decided.
The difference between the funding obligation target for Fortum and Fortum's
share of the State Nuclear Waste Fund is payed in Q1. The funding obligation
target
corresponding to the new legal liability and the new decision for periodisation
of payments to the Fund, amounts to EUR 698 (649) million.
The difference between the legal liability at year end 2007 and the
corresponding funding obligation target for 2007, EUR 25 (13) million, is
covered by a security which has been given in the end of June 2007.

it's Swedish subsidiary, Nybroviken Kraft AB. Shares in subsidiaries and
associated companies to Nybroviken Kraft AB amounting to EUR 51 million as of 31
december 2006, that had been pledged as security for the loan, were hereby
released.
Finnish participants in the State Nuclear Waste Management Fund are allowed to
borrow from the Fund. In Q1 2007 Fortum increased the reborrowing from the Fund
and therefore pledged additional Kemijoki shares as a security. The total amount
of shares pledged have a carrying value of EUR 145 million (102 million) as of
31 December 2007 (and 31 December 2006 respectively).
In Q3 2007 Fortum Tartu in Estonia (60% owned by Fortum) has given real estate
mortages for a value of EUR 95 million as a security for an external loan.
Pledged assets for other commitments
In Q2 2007 Fortum increased the real estate mortgages in Naantali and Inkoo
power plants in Finland, total value of EUR 102 million (56 million) as of 31
December 2007, given as a security to the State Nuclear Waste Management Fund
for the uncovered part of the legal liability, uncertainties and unexpected

guarantees given to suppliers for the new CHP plant being built in Czestochowa
in Poland.
20. LEGAL ACTIONS AND OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS
The Swedish Energy Market Authority, Energimyndigheten, has given decisions
concerning pricing at three electricity distribution areas of Fortum in 2003
According to the decisions Fortum would have to return about EUR 25 million of
the collected distribution charges. Fortum has appealed 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 similar decisions have also
appealed. The decisions will not be efficient until the appeal processes have
been finished. No provision or contingent liability in relation to this decision
has been recognised.
21. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
