Changes in SCA's reporting structure

As a result of the ongoing divestment of the packaging operations, excluding the
kraftliner operations in Sweden, certain changes will be made in reporting
starting with the first quarter of 2012, with retroactive adjustment of
comparative periods in 2011 and 2010.
The changes are as follows:

Profit for the period with respect to the
packaging operations that are currently being divested will be reported up until
the completion of the sale only on one line in SCA's earnings report – Profit
from disposal group held for sale. This profit item is not included in operating
profit and thereby only affects net profit for the period.

Cash flow
attributable to the packaging operations that are currently being divested is
indicated separately. These assets were indicated separately on the balance
sheet already at the end of 2011.

Starting with the first quarter of 2012,
the kraftliner operations, i.e., the two kraftliner mills in Munksund and Obbola
that SCA is keeping, have been transferred to the Forest Products business
area.

All product groups in the Forest Products business area, including
kraftliner, will be reported together as a total for the business area.

With
these changes, starting with the first quarter of 2012 SCA will have three
business areas: Personal Care, Tissue and Forest Products.
