CEO Veli-Matti Mattila:

"Growth through new services, focus on the smartphone market

Elisa's revenue developed favorably during the third quarter of the year. New services and increased mobile communications business generated growth in the Consumer Business. Revenue in the Corporate Customers Business remained strong, as did cash flow and profitability. Profitability was burdened by investments in new services and customer service quality as well as sales expenses related to higher churn rates. For the first nine months of the year, EBITDA was at the previous year's level.

Competition remained keen. Although competition in mobile broadband was tougher than in the previous quarter, we increased our mobile subscription base by more than 102,000 during the third quarter of the year. Fixed network broadband subscriptions resumed growth.

In line with our strategy, we strengthened our Elisa Viihde entertainment service by launching a cooperation agreement with Voddler, a Swedish video service. Now, through the service, Elisa's customers have access to thousands of free movies on the Internet. In addition to new services, we focused on expanding our smartphone selection. Besides new Android and Nokia Symbian 3 smartphones, we released Apple's iPhone 4 for sale in Finland.

Favorable development in the Corporate Customer Business continued with new ICT services. During the third quarter, we introduced a new Internet-based financial management solution for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Offered as a service, this software helps SMEs transfer to electronic invoicing and financial management.

We continued to invest in improving customer service to better meet our customers' needs. We launched Omaguru, an all-in-one technical support service for households and small enterprises. Users can select a specific support person by checking their availability and areas of expertise online.

We also continued our determined and consistent investments in the 3G network by expanding its coverage in the Savo region, Northern and Southern Karelia and Kymenlaakso.

The competitive situation in Finland's telecommunications market continues to be challenging. Improving customer satisfaction and profitability still offer significant opportunities. We will continue determinedly to further develop our operations. In addition, our expanding service portfolio and investment ability lay a solid foundation for the future."

INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-SEPTEMBER 2010

The Interim report has been prepared in accordance with the IFRS recognition and measurement principles. The information presented in this interim report is unaudited.

Market situation

Positive trends in the general economy have continued. However, general business activity has not yet recovered to its pre-recession level.

The competitive environment has been keen in Finland. The mobile subscription base and the use of data services continued to evolve favourably. The use of services made available through 3G subscriptions has increased. Another factor contributing to the growth has been the use of multiple terminal devices for different purposes, mobile broadband services and prepaid subscriptions. Churn in mobile subscriptions has increased due to more aggressive campaigning. With broader assortment now available, the smartphone market is gradually starting to pick up.

The number and usage of traditional fixed network subscriptions decreased at the same pace as in the previous quarters. The number of fixed broadband subscriptions increased slightly, while the strong subscription growth in mobile broadband continued.

Revenue, earnings and financial position

EUR million	7-9/2010	7-9/2009	1-9/2010	1-9/2009

* There were no non-recurring items in EBITDA or EBIT

Third quarter 2010

Revenue increased by 1 per cent on the previous year. Revenue grew in the Consumer Customers mobile services and equipment sales, as well as in Corporate Customers mobile and ICT services. Consumer Customers online services also contributed positively to revenue growth. Development of traditional fixed telecom services in both segments affected revenue negatively.

EBITDA decreased on the previous year. Strong growth in the number of mobile subscriptions together with higher churn increased the sales costs. Personnel costs were also higher than a year ago as a result of higher call centre activities.

Financial income and expenses totalled EUR -5 million (-8). Financial expenses decreased due to a foreign exchange rate change related to a USD denominated provision of possible guarantee expense made in the first quarter of 2010. Income taxes in the income statement amounted to EUR -17 million (-17). Elisa's earnings after taxes were EUR 51 million (53). The Group's earnings per share (EPS) amounted to EUR 0.32 (0.34).

January-September 2010

Revenue increased by 1 per cent on last year mainly for the same reasons as in the third quarter.

EBITDA remained at the previous year's level. Sales costs were higher given increased market activities and service launches. The increased costs were compensated by improved efficiency measures.

Financial income and expenses totalled EUR -69 million (-24). Financial expenses increased due to a EUR 45 million (USD 60 million) provision of possible guarantee expense made in the first quarter of 2010. Income taxes in the income statement amounted to EUR -32 million (-43). Elisa's earnings after taxes were EUR 99 million (136). The Group's earnings per share (EPS) amounted to EUR 0.63 (0.87).

1) (interest-bearing debt – financial assets) / (4 previous quarters' EBITDA exclusive of non-recurring items)

Third quarter 2010

Elisa's financial position and liquidity remained good. July – September cash flow after investments was EUR 29 million (43). The decrease in cash flow was mainly due to higher tax payments, lower profitability and negative development in net working capital.

January-September 2010

Elisa's cash flow after investments was EUR 144 million (178). Cash flow was lower than a year ago mainly as a result of negative development in net working capital and higher capital expenditure.

Changes in corporate structure

January-September 2010

In May, Elisa strengthened its position as an ICT player by acquiring a majority holding in Videra Oy, a leading video conferencing company in the Nordic countries. Videra became part of the Elisa Group and Elisa's holding will be 68.8 per cent. Videra continues its operations as Elisa's subsidiary. Videra's annual revenue is approximately EUR 14 million, and the acquisition price is a maximum EUR 13 million.

In September, Elisa launched cooperation with Voddler, a Swedish internet video service. To engage in closer cooperation and to support the internationalization of Voddler, Elisa invested EUR 3 million and received 8 per cent of Voddler's shares.

Consumer Customer business

CAPEX	26	21	76	59

Third quarter 2010

The Consumer Customer business revenue was EUR 225 million (220) and EBITDA EUR 77 million (81). Revenue growth was good in mobile services as a result of increased subscriptions and equipment sales. There was also growth in online services. Revenue development was negative in the fixed network services. EBITDA was negatively affected by increased sales costs and new service launch costs. The Estonian business' revenue and EBITDA were at the previous year's level.

January-September 2010

The Consumer Customer business revenue was EUR 656 million (631) and EBITDA EUR 219 million (213). The growth in revenue was mainly attributable to the same reasons as in the third quarter. EBITDA was positively affected by revenue growth and efficiency measures and negatively by increased sales costs and new service launches. The decrease in the Estonian business given the general economic situation also had a negative effect on EBITDA.

Third quarter 2010

Corporate Customers business revenue was EUR 139 million (139) and EBITDA EUR 50 million (50). Usage of mobile services and increased number of subscription increased revenue. ICT services also experienced growth. Traditional fixed telecom services revenue was lower than a year ago.

January-September 2010

Corporate Customers business revenue was EUR 424 million (435) and EBITDA EUR 143 million (150). Usage of mobile services and the increased number of subscriptions boosted revenue. ICT services also grew. Traditional fixed telecom services revenue was lower than a year ago. The decrease in EBITDA was attributable mainly to the decline in revenue and increased sales costs.

Personnel

In January-September, the average number of personnel at Elisa was 3,421 (3,181). Personnel by segment at the end of the period:

	30.9.2010	30.9.2009	31.12.2009
Consumer Customers	2,054	1,592	1,975
Corporate Customers	1,430	1,662	1,356
Total	3,484	3,254	3,331

Compared to the corresponding period last year, personnel growth mainly occurred in call centres, as well as from the Videra acquisition. The call centre headcount varies flexibly according to business activity.

The Board of Directors' authorisations

On 18 March 2010, the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to donate a maximum of EUR 700,000 to support activities of Finnish universities and colleges during 2010. Based on this authorization, the Board of Directors has decided to make donations to these institutions.

The shareholders at the Annual General Meeting accepted the proposal of the Board of Directors to resolve to distribute funds from unrestricted equity to a maximum amount of EUR 100 million. The authorisation is effective until the beginning of the following Annual General Meeting.

The shareholders at the Annual General Meeting decided on the authorisation to repurchase or accept as pledge the company's own shares. The repurchase may be directed. The amount of shares under this authorisation is maximum 10 million. The authorisation is effective until 30 June 2011.

The shareholders at the Annual General Meeting approved the proposal of the Board of Directors on the issuance of shares as well as the issuance of special rights entitled to shares. The issue may be directed. The authorisation is effective until 30 June 2014. A maximum aggregate of 15 million of the company's shares can be issued under the authorisation.

Significant legal issues

Third quarter 2010

In May, the Finnish Communications Regulatory Authority (FICORA) issued a decision on pricing local loop access, according to which Elisa must reduce its pricing to a level based on Ficora's decision. Elisa appealed against the Ficora's decision and looked for interruption of the enforcement from the Supreme Administrative Court, which gave an interim judgement and dismissed the interruption of the enforcement in August 2010. The judgement did not concern the principal claim and the proceedings continue in the Supreme Administrative Court.

Regulatory issues

The Ministry of Transport and Communications is currently preparing a change to the Communications Market Act, which might alter the current telephone number portability practices. The key content of the possible change is that number portability should be allowed despite the fact that the customer has a valid fixed-term contract. The approximate timetable for the entry to have this change implemented is Spring 2011.

Substantial risks and uncertainties associated with Elisa's operations

Risk management is part of Elisa's internal control system. It aims to ensure that risks affecting the company's business are identified, influenced and monitored. The company classifies risks into strategic, operational, accidental and financial risks.

Strategic and operational risks:

The telecommunications industry is under intense competition in Elisa's main market areas, which may have an impact on Elisa's business. The telecommunications industry is subject to heavy regulation. Elisa and its businesses are monitored and regulated by several public authorities. This regulation also affects the price level of some products and services offered by Elisa.

The rapid developments in telecommunications technology may have a significant impact on Elisa's business.

Elisa's main market is Finland, where the number of mobile phones per inhabitant is among the highest in the world, and growth in subscriptions is thus limited. Furthermore, the volume of phone traffic in Elisa's fixed network has decreased in the past few years. These factors may limit the opportunities for growth.

The deterioration of the economic environment may impact the demand for Elisa's services and products, and therefore growth prospects. However, good demand for communication services is expected to continue also during a recession.

Accident risks:

The company's core operations are covered by insurance against damage and interruptions caused by accidents. Accident risks also include litigations and claims.

Financial risks:

In order to manage interest rate risk, the Group's loans and investments are diversified in fixedand variable-rate instruments. Interest rate swaps can be used to manage interest rate risk.

As most of Elisa Group's cash flow is denominated in Euros, the exchange rate risk is minor. Elisa's Estonian business, which is approximately 6 per cent of the consolidated revenue, is denominated in Estonian crowns. Estonia will join the European monetary union as of 1 January 2011 with the current exchange rate, which removes this exchange risk.

The provision for possible guarantee expense, USD 60 million, is denominated in US Dollars, and thus carries exchange rate risk. The majority of this guarantee expense has been hedged with forward rate agreements.

The objective of liquidity risk management is to ensure the Group's financing in all circumstances. Elisa has cash reserves, committed credit facilities and a sustainable cash flow to cover its foreseeable financing needs.

Liquid assets are invested within confirmed limits to investment targets with a good credit rating. Credit risk concentrations in accounts receivable are minor as the customer base is wide.

A detailed description of the financial risk management can be found in note 34 of Elisa's 2009 Consolidated Financial Statements.

Events after the financial period

On 22 October 2010, Elisa's Board of Directors decided to pay an extraordinary dividend of EUR 0.50 per share. The extraordinary distribution totals approximately EUR 77.9 million. No dividend will be paid on treasury shares held by Elisa. The ex-date is 25 October 2010, the record date 27 October 2010, and the payment will occur starting on 3 November 2010.

This decision is based on the favourable development of the company's result and financial position as well as on maintaining the company's capital structure in line with the set financial targets.

Outlook for 2010

Positive trends of the general economy have continued. Risks are related to nervousness of the financial markets and its possible impacts on the general economic development. Competition in the Finnish telecommunications market remains challenging.

The outlook for revenue, EBITDA and capital expenditure is reiterated. Full year revenue is estimated to be at the same level as last year. The use of mobile communications and mobile broadband products is continuing to rise. Full year EBITDA, excluding non-recurring items, is expected to be at the same level as last year. Full-year capital expenditure is expected to be 10 to 12 per cent of revenue.

In addition to its strong position as a network service provider, Elisa is transforming itself to be able to provide its customers with exciting and relevant new services. Among the factors contributing to long-term growth and profitability improvement is 3G market growth. Elisa continues determinedly to employ its efficiency measures. Elisa's financial position and liquidity are good.

NOTES

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The interim report has been prepared in accordance with the IFRS recognition and measurement principles, although all requirements of IAS 34 standard have not been followed. The information has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) effective at the time of preparation and adopted for use by European Union. Apart from the changes in accounting principles stated below, the accounting principles applied in the interim report are the same as in the financial stantements at December 31, 2009.

Changes in the accounting principles

The Group adopted the following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations as from 1 January 2010 onward:

• Revised IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The revision enables valuation of minority intrest and goodwill at fair value. The method to be used is selected on a case-by-case basis. In case of successive acquisitions, the previously acquired share of ownership is revaluated at the fair value on the acquisition date, and this influences the recognized goodwill. Changes in contingent purchase price and cost related to the acquisition are recognized through profit or loss.

• Revised IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. The manner in which increases and decreases in the shares of ownership of the Group's subsidiaries are handled is changed. Losses of the subsidiaries are allocated as minority interest, including the share exceeding the investment made by the subsidiary in question.

Following newly adopted standards and interpretations have not had any effect on interim financial statements:

• Revised IFRS 2 Share-based Payment
• Revised IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
• IFRIC 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners
• IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from customers
