CEO's comments

"Duni's sales at fixed exchange rates fell by 1.6% during the third quarter. This is attributable entirely to weak sales growth within Retail and Tissue. As regards Retail, this is due to the impact following the loss of most of the business with a major private label customer. Within Tissue, sales to the hygiene products sector weakened, while internal deliveries increased somewhat. Thanks to satisfactory capacity utilization combined with higher productivity, Tissue is reporting an improvement in income for the quarter.

In the Professional business area, sales increased by 3.7% at fixed exchange rates, equal to a volume increase of approximately 1%. Sales on certain mature main markets were somewhat weaker than in the

second quarter, but it is too early to draw any conclusions as to whether this is due to a generally weaker market or a phasing of orders. The focus on prioritized markets in eastern and southern Europe is creating continued solid growth, but increased sales and marketing expenses are affecting income.

In the quarter, Duni achieved an operating income of SEK 98 m and a stable operating margin of 10.7%. The SEK 5 m reduction in income was largely a consequence of weaker sales within Retail and the investments which are being made within Professional.

Cash flow has developed positively compared with last year, thanks to stable profitability combined with sound control of working capital. The capital expenditure level has been high, primarily due to investments in new technology for the production of new materials which, according to plan, are to be launched during the first quarter 2012.

We are now entering Duni's seasonally strongest quarter. The price increases that were gradually implemented during the third quarter are expected to have full impact in the fourth quarter. However, uncertainty concerning market conditions has increased since the summer. In the current situation, it is a question of carefully monitoring developments and being ready to take measures in the event we perceive a clear downturn in demand," says Fredrik von Oelreich, President and CEO, Duni.

___________________________________________________________________________________

Net sales amounted to SEK 2,744 m

During the period 1 January – 30 September, net sales fell by SEK 129 m compared with the same period last year, to SEK 2,744 m (2,873). Adjusted for exchange rate changes, net sales declined marginally by 0.4%. It is primarily the Tissue business area which experienced weak volume development, as a consequence of a decline in demand for hygiene products. On the other hand, internal deliveries increased and the product mix improved.

Net sales for the period 1 July – 30 September amounted to SEK 917 m (943). Adjusted for exchange rate changes, net sales declined by 1.6%. Professional continues to demonstrate growth in line with the first half of the year. As previously announced, Retail has now commenced the phasing out of a major private label customer, leading to a significant reduction in sales for the quarter.

Operating margin of 9.2%

When adjusted for non-recurring items, operating income (EBIT) for the period 1 January – 30 September amounted to SEK 253 m (272). The gross margin strengthened from 25.7% to 26.1%. The underlying operating margin for the Group was 9.2% (9.5%). Adjusted for exchange rate changes, operating income declined by SEK 8 m compared with last year. Income after financial items was SEK 224 m (255). Income after tax was SEK 163 m (189).

Despite increased raw materials costs, the gross margin has strengthened compared with last year, primarily as a consequence of compensatory price increases vis-à-vis customers, as well as lower logistics

expenses. Increased indirect expenses relating to market investments, primarily within Professional, have had an impact on operating income.

For the period 1 July – 30 September, operating income (EBIT) adjusted for non-recurring items amounted to SEK 98 m (103), while the gross margin improved to 27.1% (26.0%).

The operating margin weakened slightly to 10.7% (11.0%). Adjusted for exchange rate changes, operating income is SEK 6 m lower than last year. Income after financial items amounted to SEK 90 m (99). Income after tax was SEK 63 m (72).

Buying prices for traded goods, such as candles and plastic-based products, increased further during the third quarter and thereby squeezed the margins. However, the assessment is that these increases will level off during the coming quarters. In addition, the decline in volume within Retail has affected the operating margin to a certain extent.

Non-recurring items

Non-recurring items means restructuring costs as well as non-realized valuation effects of currency and energy derivatives due to the fact that hedge accounting is not applied in respect of these hedge instruments.

Reported income for the period 1 January – 30 September 2011 is affected by non-realized valuation effects of derivatives in the amount of SEK -9 m (-5). For further information see Note 3.

Reporting of operating segments

Duni's operations are divided into three segments, referred to as business areas.

The Professional business area (sales to hotels, restaurants and catering companies) accounted for 73% (70%) of Duni's net sales for the period 1 January – 30 September 2011.

The Retail business area (primarily focused on retail trade) accounted for 15% (16%) of net sales during the period.

The Tissue business area (airlaid and tissuebased material for tabletop products and hygiene applications) accounted for 12% (14%) of sales to external customers during the period.

The Professional and Retail business areas have, to a large extent, a common product range. Design and packaging solutions are, however, adapted to suit the different sales channels. Production and support functions are shared to a large degree by the business areas.

Duni management team, which decides upon the allocation of resources within Duni and evaluates results from the business operations, is the highest executive decision-making body in

Split on Net sales between business areas

Duni. Duni controls the business areas on the underlying operating income, after shared costs have been allocated to each business area. For further information, see Note 2.

Professional business area

Net sales for the period 1 January – 30 September amounted to SEK 2,016 m (2,025). At fixed exchange rates, this represents a sales increase of 4.3%. In percentage terms, southern and eastern Europe account for the strongest growth. A solid investment in these markets from a rather small base has resulted in strong growth, especially in Italy and Russia.

Operating income was SEK 237 m (260) and the operating margin was 11.7% (12.8%).

Net sales for the period 1 July – 30 September increased by SEK 15 m, to SEK 696 m (681). At fixed exchange rates, this represents an increase in sales of 3.7%. Thanks to the market investments initiated at the beginning of the year, southern

Sales - Geographical split, Professional

and eastern Europe is demonstrating strong growth despite increasing economic uncertainty. Duni's important German market is demonstrating stability, albeit that growth is not as strong as in the preceding quarter.

Operating income declined to SEK 93 m (97), with an operating margin of 13.3% (14.3%). This is, among other, due to the increased investments in sales and marketing. Costs for traded goods have increased since the preceding quarter, with the full impact being felt on the gross margin for the third quarter. Price increases vis-à-vis customers were gradually implemented during the quarter in order to compensate for these increased costs.

Retail business area

Net sales for the period 1 January – 30 September amounted to SEK 403 m (458), corresponding to a fall in sales of 6.9% at fixed exchange rates. So far this year the retail sector has generally been weak, with lower volumes within, particularly, the non-food sector, a factor which also affects Duni. Operating income was SEK -3 m (-1). The operating margin weakened to -0.8% (-0.2%).

Sales – Geographical split, Retail

Net sales for the period 1 July – 30 September were SEK 110 m (138). At fixed exchange rates, this represents a

decrease in sales of 19.6%. Largely speaking, the sales decrease is attributable to the loss of a major private label customer. Besides this loss, Retail encounters some growth in its major markets, which – since the retail sector demonstrates generally weak development – entails increased market shares.

Operating income was SEK -5 m (-1) and the operating margin was -4.4% (-1.0%). The third quarter is traditionally Retail's weakest and the fall in income compared with last year is a logical effect of the decline in sales. The gross margin has developed favorably and costs continue to be low, but not to such an extent as to compensate in full for lower sales in the quarter.

Tissue business area

External net sales for the period 1 January – 30 September amounted to SEK 324 m (390). The lower external sales is primarily attributable to major customers within the hygiene products sector. At the same time, Duni has increased priority on internal production.

Operating income was SEK 20 m (13). The operating margin increased to 6.1% (3.2%). Thanks to major work with continious improvments in the production process, as well as a positive

Sales mix, Tissue Internal 57% (50) External 43% (50)

development of the product mix, Tissue increased its income compared with last year, despite weaker demand from the hygiene products sector.

Net sales for the period 1 July – 30 September amounted to SEK 111 m (124). Operating income was SEK 10 m (7) and the operating margin increased to 9.2% (5.8%). The third quarter has been characterized by higher productivity combined with lower energy costs. A stable pulp price after a longer period of increases affects the gross margin positively.

Cash flow

The Group's operating cash flow for the period 1 January – 30 September was SEK 185 m (62). The strong cash flow is attributable primarily to an improved working capital. The inventory value was SEK 534 m

(506). Accounts receivable increased by SEK 60 m, to SEK 670 m (610). Accounts payable increased by SEK 45 m, to SEK 315 m (270).

The cash flow including investments amounted to SEK 10 m (-111). Duni is continuing to invest for growth; net capital expenditures for the period amounted to SEK 177 m (178), which is a historically high capital expenditure level. Most of the investments are focused on production plants, primarily in Sweden and Germany. Depreciation for the period amounted to SEK 80 m (79).

The Group's interest-bearing net debt on 30 September 2011 was SEK 755 m, compared with SEK 785 m on 30 September 2010 and SEK 582 m on 31 December 2010.

Financial net

The financial net for the period 1 January – 30 September amounted to SEK -20 m (-12). Interest rates are somewhat higher than last year. The financial net has been affected by negative realized and unrealized exchange rate results which, for the same period last year, were positive.

Taxes

The total reported tax expense for the period 1 January – 30 September was SEK 61 m (66), yielding an effective tax rate of 27.2% (25.9%). The tax expense for the year includes adjustments from previous periods of SEK -2.4 m (1.2). The deferred tax asset relating to loss carry-forwards was utilized in the amount of SEK 30 m (27).

Earnings per share

The earnings per share before and after dilution amounted to SEK 3.46 (4.02).

Duni's share

As per 30 September 2011 the share capital amounted to SEK 58,748,790 divided into 46,999,032 shares, each with a quotient value of SEK 1.25.

Duni is listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm under the ticker name "DUNI". Duni's three largest shareholders are Mellby Gård Investerings AB (29.99%), Polaris Capital Management, LLC (10.58%) and Lannebo fonder (9.22%).

Personnel

On 30 September 2011 there were 1,907 (1,924) employees. 817 (832) of the employees were engaged in production. Duni's production units are located in Bramsche in Germany, Poznan in Poland, and Bengtsfors in Sweden.

Acquisitions

No acquisitions were carried out during the period.

New establishment

No new establishments were carried out during the period.

Risk factors for Duni

A number of risk factors may affect Duni's operations in terms of both operational and financial risks. Operational risks are normally handled by each operating unit and financial risks are managed by the Group's Treasury department, which is included as a unit within the Parent Company.

Operational risks

Duni is exposed to a number of operational risks which it is important to manage. The development of attractive product ranges, particularly the Christmas collection, is extremely important in order for Duni to achieve good sales and income growth. Duni addresses this issue by constantly developing its range. Approximately 25% of the collection is replaced each year in response to, and to create new, trends. A weaker economy over an extended period of time in Europe might lead to fewer restaurant visits, reduced consumption at consumer level and increased price competition, which may affect volumes and gross margins. Fluctuations in prices of raw materials and energy constitute an operational risk which may have a material impact on Duni's operating income.

Financial risks

Duni's finance management and its handling of financial risks are regulated by a finance policy adopted by the Board of Directors. The Group divides its financial risks between currency risks, interest rate risks, credit risks, financing and liquidity risks. These risks are controlled in an overall risk management policy which focuses on unforeseen events on the financial markets and endeavors to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial results. The risks for the Group are in all essential respects also related to the Parent Company. Duni's management of financial risks is described in greater detail in the Annual Report as per 31 December 2010.

Since 2007, Duni's long-term financing has been secured through financing agreements valid until November 2012. Duni has no significant changes in contingent liabilities since 31 December 2010.

Transactions with related parties

No transactions with related parties took place during the third quarter of 2011.

Major events since 30 September

No significant events have occurred after the balance sheet date.

Review report

We have reviewed this report for the period 1 January to 30 September 2011 for Duni AB (publ). The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with the Swedish Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.
