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.
