STOCKMANN GROUP'S REVENUE IN JULY 2010

In July, the Stockmann Group's revenue (exclusive of VAT) exclusive of
Hobby Hall's discontinued operations abroad amounted to EUR 135.5 million,
up 9.1 per cent.

Since the beginning of 2010, Hobby Hall has been a part of the Department
Store Division. The Department Store Division's revenue includes Hobby
Hall's figures, and the comparison figures have been adjusted accordingly.
The Department Store Division's revenue increased by 7.9 per cent, up 4.1
per cent in Finland and up 19.2 per cent abroad. Revenue growth was strong
in Russia, 33 per cent, but revenue declined slightly in the Baltic
department stores.

Lindex's revenue increased by 12.0 per cent, up 6.3 per cent in Finland
and up 13.0 per cent abroad. The division's euro-denominated revenue
increased in all markets except Latvia. Development in the new markets in
Russia and Czech Republic was again strong.

Seppälä's revenue increased by 5.5 per cent, up 6.8 per cent in Finland
and up 2.9 per cent abroad. Development was fairly even in all the
markets.
