CEO's comments

"It is pleasing to note that the volume trend during the second quarter of the year improved compared with the first quarter and largely reflects the continued recovery on our main markets.

Both Professional and Retail increased their sales volumes compared with last year, by just over 3% and 1.5% respectively. However, the sales trend within the Tissue business area remained weak, primarily within the hygiene products sector, and sales fell from SEK 125 m to SEK 109 m. For Duni as a whole, sales experienced an upward turn during the quarter and reached SEK 960 m. At fixed exchange rates, this corresponds to an increase of 3.5% compared with the second quarter of last year.

Duni is a leading supplier of attractive and convenient products for table setting and takeaway. The Duni brand is sold in more than 40 markets and enjoys a number one position in Central and Northern Europe. Duni has some 2,000 employees in 17 countries, headquarters in Malmö and production units in Sweden, Germany and Poland. Duni is listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm under the ticker name "DUNI". ISIN-code is SE 0000616716.

Thanks to the improved sales trend, we achieved a seasonally strong operating profit of SEK 88 m. At fixed exchange rates, this corresponds to SEK 93 m, which is somewhat better than last year's result. Both Professional and Retail reported increased income at fixed exchange rates, while Tissue fell back due to a decrease in sales and lower capacity utilization. However, the order book is expected to improve during the second half of the year.

During the quarter, costs for certain input materials and in particular for traded goods, continued to increase. Going forward, this will impact on the cost of sold goods, but we believe that Duni will be able to mitigate this effect thanks to the price increases that we are currently implementing. As regards the market trend in general, we anticipate continued volume growth within our main area, Professional," says Fredrik von Oelreich, President and CEO, Duni.

___________________________________________________________________________________

Net sales amounted to SEK 1,827 m

During the period 1 January – 30 June 2011, net sales fell by SEK 103 m compared with the same period last year, to SEK 1,827 m (1,930). Adjusted for exchange rate changes, net sales increased by 0.2%. The low growth during the first half of the year is mainly attributable to the Tissue business area, where hygiene products demonstrated a weak trend.

Net sales for the period 1 April – 30 June fell by SEK 10 m, to SEK 960 m (970). When adjusted for exchange rate changes, net sales increased by 3.5%. The second quarter demonstrated positive growth within the HoReCa sector, which is in line with the improvement in the economy. The Retail business area demonstrated sales growth despite continued weak demand in general from the grocery retail trade.

Operating margin of 8.5%

For the period 1 January – 30 June 2011, operating income (EBIT) adjusted for non-recurring items was SEK 13 m lower at SEK 155 m (168). The Group's underlying operating margin thus weakened from 8.7% to 8.5%. Adjusted for exchange rate changes, operating income declined by SEK 1 m compared with last year.

A favorable product mix has contributed to a maintained gross margin despite increased cost of goods sold. In view of the high costs for raw material and traded goods price increases to customers have been announced for the second half of the year. The gross margin for the first half of the year is unchanged at 25.6% (25.6%). Income after financial items was SEK 134 m (156). Income after tax was SEK 99 m (117).

For the period 1 April – 30 June, operating income (EBIT) adjusted for non-recurring items amounted to SEK 88 m (91). The gross margin weakened somewhat to 25.1% (25.4%), primarily due to lower capacity utilization within Tissue. Costs for raw materials and traded goods have continued to increase and resulted in a somewhat lower gross margin in the quarter. The operating margin declined from the historically high 9.4% last year to 9.1% in the quarter. When adjusted for exchange rate changes, operating income increased by SEK 2 m. Income after financial items was SEK 79 m (90). Income after tax was SEK 59 m (66).

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 June 2011 is affected by non-realized valuation effects of derivatives in the amount of SEK -8 m (-4). For further information see below as well as 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 72% (70%) of Duni's net sales for the period 1 January – 30 June 2011.

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

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

Split on Net sales between business areas

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 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 June 2011 declined by SEK 24 m, to SEK 1,320 m (1,344). At fixed exchange rates, this corresponds to an increase in sales of 4.5%. The year began at a lower pace than expected, but has gradually improved.

Operating income was SEK 144 m (163), with a reduced operating margin of 10.9% (12.1%). Similarly to the first quarter, income is affected by the increased market investments aimed at achieving a higher rate of growth on prioritized markets and product ranges.

Sales - Geographical split, Professional

Net sales for the period 1 April – 30 June increased by SEK 7 m, to SEK 717 m (710). At fixed exchange rates, this

corresponds to an increase in sales of 6.1%. Germany in particular is showing a recovery from a weak first quarter. Operating income declined to SEK 91 m (94), with an operating margin of 12.7% (13.2%).

Retail business area

Net sales for the period 1 January – 30 June 2011 fell by SEK 27 m, to SEK 293 m (320), equal to a reduction in sales of 1.4% at fixed exchange rates. Despite a challenging competitive situation, not least in the Nordic region, and weak demand within the retail sector, Retail has succeeded in improving its market position on several markets.

Operating income was SEK 1 m (1). The operating margin strengthened to 0.5% (0.2%). The first half of the year, particularly the second quarter, is seasonally the weakest period for Retail.

Sales – Geographical split, Retail

Net sales for the period 1 April – 30 June amounted to SEK 135 m (136). At fixed exchange rates, this corresponds to an increase in sales of 4.2%. Despite the commenced phase-out of a major private label customer, which was announced last year, the second quarter demonstrated healthy growth, particularly attributable to Central Europe. The phase-out of this customer contract will be accelerated during the third quarter and thereby have a larger negative impact on sales. The Nordic region, where Retail has lost market shares for a period of time, stabilized during the second quarter and initiatives to strengthen

Duni's market position have begun to bear fruit. Operating income was SEK -4 m (-7) and the operating margin was -3.0% (-5.4%).

1) Reported net sales for 2011 recalculated at 2010 exchange rates.

Tissue business area

Net sales for the period 1 January – 30 June 2011 fell by 19.5%, to SEK 214 m (266).

Operating income increased to SEK 10 m (5). The operating margin was 4.5% (2.0%). External sales declined to the benefit of increased internal production to other business areas. Weaker demand within the hygiene products sector has negatively impacted on sales to a certain degree.

Net sales for the period 1 April – 30 June were SEK 109 m (125).

Operating income was SEK 1 m (5) and the operating margin was 0.5% (3.8%). During the second quarter, income was negatively affected by a decrease in inventory combined with lower demand, which taken together resulted in low capacity utilization.

Cash flow

The Group's operating cash flow for the period 1 January – 30 June 2011 was SEK 85 m (30). The first half of the year, especially the second quarter, have been characterized by a deliberate decrease in inventory and thereby a positive contribution to cash flow.

Compared with the same period of last year, inventories increased by SEK 18 m to SEK 467 m (449), accounts receivable increased by SEK 53 m, to SEK 704 m (651) and accounts payable increased by SEK 28 m, to SEK 311 m (283). Cash flow including investing activities amounted to SEK -33 m (-100). Duni's net investments were SEK 119 m (132), while depreciation and impairment for the period amounted to SEK 53 m (52).

The Group's interest-bearing net debt on 30 June 2011 was SEK 793 m, compared with SEK 799 m on 30 June 2010 and SEK 582 m on 31 December 2010.

Financial net

The financial net for the period 1 January – 30 June 2011 amounted to SEK -12 m (-9). The largest difference in the quarter compared with the preceding year is effects in the second quarter 2010 of unrealized and realized changes in value. The interest rate level is in the quarter also somewhat higher compared with preceding year.

Taxes

The total reported tax expense for the period 1 January – 30 June 2011 was SEK 35 m (39), yielding an effective tax rate of 26.0% (25.1%). The tax expense for the year includes adjustments from previous

periods of SEK 0.4 m (2.2). The deferred tax asset relating to loss carry-forwards was utilized in the amount of SEK 19 m (15).

Earnings per share

The earnings per share for continuing operations before and after dilution amounted to SEK 2.12 (2.48).

Duni's share

As per 30 June 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, as per 30 June 2011, are Mellby Gård Investerings AB (29.99%), Polaris Capital Management, LLC (10.65%) and Lannebo fonder (9.16%).

Personnel

On 30 June 2011 there were 1,917 (1,907) employees. 808 (826) of the employees were engaged in production. Duni's production units are located in Bramsche in Germany, Poznan in Poland, and Bengtsfors in Sweden.

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.

Control and management of fluctuations in prices of raw materials and energy have a major impact on Duni's competitiveness.

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 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 second quarter of 2011.

Major events since 30 June

No significant events have occurred after the balance sheet date.
