MARIMEKKO CORPORATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT BULLETIN
1 JANUARY - 31 DECEMBER 2007
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT BULLETIN
The 2007 financial statement bulletin has been prepared in accordance with IFRS
recognition and measurement principles, and applying the same accounting
policies as for the 2006 financial statements. The information presented in this
financial statement bulletin has not been audited.
NET SALES
In 2007, the Marimekko Group's net sales increased by 8.2% to EUR 77,264
thousand (EUR 71,424 thousand). In Finland, net sales rose by 5.6% to EUR 56,826
thousand (EUR 53,826 thousand). Exports and income from international operations
increased by 16.1% and totalled EUR 20,438 thousand (EUR 17,598 thousand).
Exports and income from international operations accounted for 26.5% (24.6%) of
the Group's net sales.
The breakdown of the Group's net sales by product line was as follows: clothing,
38.9%, interior decoration, 46.3%, and bags, 14.8%. Net sales by market area
were: Finland, 73.5%, the other Nordic countries, 11.1%, the rest of Europe,
6.1%, North America, 5.3%, and other countries (Japan and other regions outside
Europe and North America), 4.0%.
In 2007, sales in Marimekko's own retail shops totalled EUR 29,958 thousand (EUR
29,209 thousand). Sales in the company's own shops in Finland rose by 2.3%
(2.5%). Sales to retailers in Finland increased by 9.2% (-2.8%). This increase
was primarily generated by substantial deliveries for one-off promotions.
NET SALES AND EARNINGS IN Q4
In the October-December period of 2007, the Marimekko Group's net sales rose by
12.5% to EUR 22,656 thousand (EUR 20,142 thousand). Net sales in Finland
increased by 13.9% to EUR 17,507 thousand (EUR 15,373 thousand); growth was
primarily generated by deliveries for one-off promotions. Exports and income
from international operations grew by 7.9% and totalled EUR 5,149 thousand (EUR
4,769 thousand). The Group's operating profit fell by 10.4% to EUR 3,382
thousand (EUR 3,776 thousand). Earnings per share fell to EUR 0.31 (EUR 0.35).
Earnings for the period were weakened by an increase in operating costs, the
decelerating trend in sales from exports and international operations and the
decrease in licensing income during the period.
REVIEWS BY BUSINESS UNIT
Clothing
In 2007, the Group's net sales of clothing fell by 0.9% to EUR 30,036 thousand
(EUR 30,309 thousand). Sales in Finland declined slightly, while good growth
continued in all export markets except the market area referred to as “other
countries”, where sales decreased. The briskest growth was seen in North America
and the market area referred to as “the rest of Europe”. Exports and income from
international operations accounted for 22.3% of net sales of clothing.
Interior decoration
In 2007, net sales of interior decoration products rose by 16.6% and amounted to
EUR 35,813 thousand (EUR 30,716 thousand). Buoyant growth was seen everywhere
except the market area referred to as “other countries”, which experienced a
distinct fall in sales. In Finland, sales received a significant boost from
substantial deliveries for one-off promotions. Exports and income from
international operations accounted for 28.3% of net sales of interior decoration
products.
Bags
Net sales of bags increased by 9.8% to EUR 11,415 thousand (EUR 10,399 thousand)
in 2007. In Finland, net sales rose slightly, while brisk growth was seen in all
export markets. Exports and income from international operations accounted for
31.6% of net sales of bags.
Business gifts and contract sales
Sales of business gifts and contract sales rose by 5.3%.
Exports and international operations
In 2007, the Group's exports and income from international operations increased
by 16.1% to EUR 20,438 thousand (EUR 17,598 thousand). Sales of all product
lines grew well in all key export countries except for the market area referred
to as “other countries”, where sales of interior decoration products and
clothing fell. The major export countries were Sweden, the United States,
Denmark, Japan, Norway and Germany. Faster growth in exports was partly
attributable to the new Marimekko concept stores set up by retailers. A total of
seven concept stores and shop-in-shops were opened in 2007: in Graz, Austria;
Yokohama, Nagoya and Tokyo, Japan; Vancouver, Canada; Aalborg, Denmark; and
Silver Spring in metropolitan Washington DC, USA.
Net sales rose by 16.4% to EUR 8,581 thousand (EUR 7,373 thousand) in the market
area referred to as “other Nordic countries”. Net sales of all product lines
grew well, with the greatest increase seen in sales of interior decoration
products and bags. The briskest growth occurred in Denmark and Norway.
In the market area referred to as “the rest of Europe”, net sales rose by 29.3%
to EUR 4,725 thousand (EUR 3,655 thousand). Vigorous sales growth was seen in
all product lines, with the most notable rise in Germany, Italy and Great
Britain.
Net sales in North America rose by 19.3% to EUR 4,067 thousand (EUR 3,410
thousand). In relative terms, the greatest growth was seen in sales of clothing,
but growth was also good in the other product lines. New concept stores
established towards the end of 2006 and in 2007 contributed to the buoyant
growth. At the end of the 2007 financial year, there were a total of five
retailer-established Marimekko concept stores in North America, four in the
United States and one in Canada.
In the market area referred to as “other countries”, net sales fell by 3.0% to
EUR 3,065 thousand (EUR 3,160 thousand). Sales of bags continued to grow
vigorously, but sales of clothing and interior decoration products fell
significantly. The weaker trend in net sales was partly attributable to the
termination of licensing operations in Japan at the end of 2006, which resulted
in a substantial decrease in sales of interior decoration products. In 2006,
Marimekko's Japanese distributor Look Inc. set up a total of seven Marimekko
concept stores, whose opening purchases significantly raised sales for the year.
Three new Marimekko concept stores were opened in 2007. At the end of the 2007
financial year, there were a total of ten Marimekko concept stores and
shop-in-shops in Japan.
Licensing
Royalty earnings from sales of licensed products decreased significantly in
2007. Extremely buoyant growth continued in the Netherlands, but royalty
earnings in other countries fell substantially. Most of this decline was due to
the termination of licensing operations in Japan at the end of 2006. In March
2007, Marimekko began licensing co-operation with the Finnish company Itella
Corporation. The agreement covers the use of Marimekko patterns on packaging
materials and electronic postcards. In November 2007, Marimekko signed an
agreement with the Swedish company H & M Hennes & Mauritz AB, whereby Marimekko
licenses its patterns to H&M's summer 2008 collection. Thanks to this
co-operation, royalty earnings for the second quarter of 2008 will rise
substantially. Licensing co-operation with the US company Mara-Mi, Inc. ceased
at the end of 2007.
Production
The production volume of the Herttoniemi textile-printing factory increased by
10% during the 2007 financial year. Production volumes at the clothing factory
in Kitee and the bag factory in Sulkava remained at the same level as in the
previous year. The major investments of 2007 were the renewal of the stenter
frame in the textile-printing factory's finishing room as well as of fabric
inspection machinery.
The need to increase manufacturing capacity for all product lines increased
noticeably during 2007 and delivery times for some product groups had to be
extended. In order to improve delivery capacity, Marimekko took on new suppliers
and enhanced co-operation with existing subcontractors.
EARNINGS
In 2007, the Group's operating profit fell by 3.5% to EUR 10,487 thousand (EUR
10,864 thousand). Operating profit as a percentage of net sales amounted to
13.6% (15.2%). The Group's marketing expenses for 2007 totalled EUR 3,836
thousand (EUR 3,705 thousand), or 5.0% (5.2%) of net sales.
The Group's depreciation amounted to EUR 1,338 thousand (EUR 1,158 thousand),
representing 1.7% (1.6%) of the Group's net sales. Net financial expenses
totalled EUR 45 thousand (EUR 68 thousand), or 0.1% (0.1%) of the Group's net
sales.
The Group's profit after taxes for the financial year totalled EUR 7,717
thousand (EUR 7,990 thousand), representing 10.0% (11.2%) of net sales. Earnings
per share were EUR 0.96 (EUR 1.00).
Earnings for the 2007 financial year were primarily weakened by a rise in
operating costs and a reduction in royalty earnings.
INVESTMENTS
The Group's gross investments during the financial year amounted to EUR 1,365
thousand (EUR 2,455 thousand), representing 1.8% (3.4%) of consolidated net
sales. The major investments focused on the renewal of textile printing
production equipment, the acquisition of information management systems, and the
construction of premises for the Joensuu store.
EQUITY RATIO AND FINANCING
At the end of the financial period, the equity ratio was 72.7% (70.5% on 31
December 2006). The ratio of interest-bearing liabilities minus financial assets
to shareholders' equity (gearing) was -15.2%, while it was -11.7% at the end of
the previous year.
The Group's interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 1,791 thousand (EUR
2,642 thousand) at the end of the financial year. The Group's financing from
operations was EUR 9,054 thousand (EUR 9,147 thousand). At the end of 2007, the

Directors shall have three members. Mr Matti Kavetvuo, M.Sc. (Eng.), B.Sc.
(Econ.), and Mrs Kirsti Paakkanen, President, were re-elected as members of the

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS' PROPOSAL FOR THE DIVIDEND FOR THE 2007 FINANCIAL YEAR
A dividend of EUR 0.65 per share was paid for 2006 to a total of EUR
5,226,000.00. The Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting
that a dividend of EUR 0.65 per share be paid for 2007. The proposed dividends

OUTLOOK FOR 2008
Growth in the world economy is expected to slow during 2008. Marimekko operates
in an industry in which changes in the business climate are reflected in
consumption demand. In recent years, Marimekko's growth in Finland has levelled
off and exports have increasingly been driving growth.
Based on the business climate outlook and Marimekko's business estimates, growth
in the Marimekko Group's net sales in the 2008 financial year as well as the
Group's relative profitability are forecast to remain at 2007 levels.
