RUUKKI GROUP PLC'S NEW SEGMENT REPORTING

Ruukki Group Plc ('Ruukki' or the 'Company') (LSE: RKKI, OMX: RUG1V) announces that the Company will report its financial performance in two new reporting business segments from the beginning of 2011; the FerroAlloys and the Speciality Alloys business segments. The new segment reporting reflects the Company's transformation into a pure mining, smelting and metals processing business.

The FerroAlloys business segment consists of the previous South African minerals business and the Speciality Alloys business segment includes the previous Southern European minerals business. The revenue and costs of the Company's sales and marketing arm RCS, which was previously reported under Southern European minerals business, will now be allocated to the two new business segments in proportion to their sales. Group's other operations include the Group's headquarter and other Group companies which do not have significant business operations.

Previously Ruukki reported the Southern European and the South African minerals businesses as part of the Minerals business segment. Ruukki has recently announced the sales of its Wood Processing businesses, including the House building, Pallet and Sawmill businesses, that are classified as discontinued operations.

The new segments will be reported in Ruukki's interim report for January-March 2011, due to be announced on 11 May 2011.
