CEO's comments

"The economy has weakened during a couple of quarters, particularly in the heavily debt-burdened markets of southern Europe. In this economic climate, Duni achieved sales of SEK 856 m, which represents a fall of 1.5% at fixed exchange rates.

It is positive to note that sales within our largest business area, Professional, are continuing to increase, and did so by 3.4% in the quarter. The rate of growth in southern Europe has slowed down due to the harsh economic climate, while Eastern Europe continues to display solid growth. The sales trend in the larger, mature markets is stable or slightly positive.

Sales in the Tissue business area were unchanged compared with last year.

On the other hand, Consumer (formerly Retail) experienced a weak quarter, retreating 20%. This is due to a generally poor Easter season, high inventory levels of some customers, and a weak market position in the Nordic region. These factors, combined with the lost private label contract, already mentioned in previous reports, are the main reasons for the weak sales.

Despite Consumer's weak start to the year, the prospects for the coming quarters appear to be better. We have signed a couple of new contracts, including with the major private label customer whom we previously lost, and these will have a positive impact on sales, particularly during the second half of the year.

Income for the first quarter fell due to the weak development within Consumer and lower capacity utilization in the Tissue business area, in order to reduce the inventory level. The Group's EBIT was SEK 60 m, compared with SEK 67 m last year. The Professional business area increased its operating income by SEK 8 m, to SEK 61 m, despite expenditures incurred in the quarter on the new tablecovering material, Evolin®. We are currently in the initial phase of launching Evolin and sales will increase gradually during the year.

During the quarter, the Group generated a positive cash flow thanks to a reduction in working capital. As a consequence, the net debt was reduced even during the seasonally weak first quarter.

Duni's most important challenge is to create growth. Several initiatives have been taken and investments started up with this aim. As from the second quarter, Duni is introducing a new, more market-oriented organization, which should also be seen as a step towards creating improved conditions for growth.

Although Duni has taken measures to promote sales growth, we anticipate a continued slowdown in economic activity in Europe during the current year," says Fredrik von Oelreich, President and CEO, Duni.

Net sales amounted to SEK 856 m 1 January – 31 March

Compared with the same period last year, net sales fell by SEK 11 m, to SEK 856 m (867). Adjusted for exchange rate changes, net sales were 1.5% lower. The Consumer (formerly Retail) business area, which primarily focuses on the grocery retail trade, experienced significantly weaker demand. This was a result of weak Easter sales, among other things due to high inventory levels in the retail sector. In addition, the impact of the loss of the international private label contract was felt also in this quarter. Despite a weaker economic climate, sales within Professional increased by over 3%.

Operating margin of 7.0 %

1 January – 31 March

Operating income (EBIT) adjusted for non-recurring items amounted to SEK 60 m (67). The gross margin improved from 26.2% to 26.5%. The favorable gross margin trend was primarily due to lower pulp prices, but also a maintained focus on premium products. Purchase prices for traded goods – both plastic-based products and candles – remained high. Capacity utilization at the production plants was lower than in the corresponding quarter of last year, in part due to a somewhat lower volume but also due to a planned reduction in inventories. The latter factor made a positive contribution to cash flow, but had a negative impact on operating income.

During the quarter, costs were incurred for the launching of the new premium material, Evolin®. The Group's underlying operating margin was 7.0% (7.8%). Adjusted for exchange rate changes, operating income was SEK 8 m lower than last year.

Income after financial items was SEK 50 m (55). Income after tax was SEK 37 m (41).

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 financial instruments. During the quarter, provision was made of additional SEK 3 m within the scope of the restructuring program announced at the end of last year.

Reported income for the period 1 January – 31 March 2012 is affected by non-realized valuation effects of derivatives in the amount of SEK 0 m (-7). 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 during the period 1 January – 31 March 2012. Professional comprises two product categories: Table Top and Meal Service. Table Top markets primarily napkins, tablecoverings and candles, which are combined in matching concepts for the set table. Meal Service markets more functional concepts for take-away packaging and serving products, such as to-go, take-away and catering. Table Top accounts for approximately 80% of total sales within the Professional business area.

Split on Net sales between business areas

The Consumer business area (formerly Retail, focused primarily on the grocery retail trade), accounted for 15% (18%) of sales to external customers during the period.

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

The Professional and Consumer 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

1 January – 31 March

Net sales amounted to SEK 626 m (604). At fixed exchange rates, this represents an increase in sales of 3.4%. All regions demonstrated stability or an increase in sales. The increasing economic instability has led to lower customer confidence, which is particularly noticeable in Southern Europe. Nevertheless, continued growth can be discerned through increased market shares in countries such as Italy, albeit at a slower pace.

Sales, Geographical split, Professional

Evolin®, a new material for tablecoverings which

resembles linen, was launched during the quarter. The impact on sale has been marginal, but the material has been well received, among other things at trade fairs and upon sales visits. The launch is vital for strengthening our position as market leader within high-quality single-use table setting products. Operating income was SEK 61 m (53), and the operating margin was 9.8% (8.7%). The improvement in earnings is due to growth and a solid gross margin.

Consumer business area (formerly Retail)

1 January – 31 March

Net sales amounted to SEK 127 m (159), presenting a 20.4% fall in sales at fixed exchange rates. Easter sales, which are the dominant factor for the first quarter, were weak this year. It is also clear that the Easter season is diminishing in importance on several markets.

Approximately one half of the reduction in sales is attributable to the lost private label contract. In addition, sales during the quarter were negatively affected by the fact that a major customer in Germany is under a

Sales – Geographical split, Consumer

company restructuring procedure. The Nordic region continues to perform weakly, which reflects the absence of major retail chains as customers.

During the quarter, Consumer signed a couple of important contracts with leading grocery retail chains, in particular in Germany and England. This factor, combined with a new contract having been signed with the previously lost private label customer, will contribute to an increase in sales, particularly during the second half of the year.

Operating income was SEK -1 m (6). The operating margin weakened to -0.9% (3.5%). The weaker result is a logical consequence of the weak sales trend.

Tissue business area

1 January – 31 March

External sales amounted to SEK 104 m (104). Sales were stable, which also indicates a stable sales mix between internal and external sales.

Operating income was SEK 0 m (9). The operating margin declined to 0.2% (8.7%). During the quarter, the machinery at one of the paper mills has been rebuilt to ensure a higher degree of flexibility. These improvement measures have had a negative impact on earnings during the quarter. A reduction in finished goods inventory has resulted in lower capacity utilization, which also contributed to a weaker quarter. However it had a positive impact on cash flow.

Cash flow

The Group's operating cash flow for the period 1 January – 31 March was SEK 43 m (-30). The strong cash flow is a consequence of planned inventory reduction combined with a positive development as regards both accounts receivable and accounts payable. Inventory value is SEK 485 m (491). Accounts receivable decreased by SEK 16 m to SEK 584 m (600). Accounts payable amounted to SEK 287 m (242).

Cash flow including investing activities amounted to SEK 5 m (-67). Net capital expenditures during the period amounted to SEK 39 m (38). Depreciation/amortization for the period amounted to SEK 28 m (28).

The Group's interest-bearing net debt as per 31 March 2012 was SEK 732 m, compared with SEK 647 m as per 31 March 2011.

Financial net

The financial net for the period 1 January – 31 March amounted to SEK -7 m (-6).

Taxes

The total reported tax expense for the period 1 January – 31 March was SEK 13 m (15), yielding an effective tax rate of 26.8% (26.6%). The tax expense for the year includes adjustments from previous periods of SEK 0.3 m (0.5). The deferred tax asset relating to loss carry-forwards was utilized in the amount of SEK 4 m (9).

One of Duni's subsidiaries in Germany is the subject of an ongoing tax audit relating, among other things, to intra-group dealings and transfer prices. At present, it is not possible to make any reasonable assessment as to the outcome, and thus no provision therefore has been made in the accounts.

Earnings per share

The earnings per share before and after dilution amounted to SEK 0.78 (0.86).

Duni's share

As per 31 March 2012 the share capital amounted to SEK 58,748,790 divided into 46,999,032 shares, each with a quotient value of SEK 1.25.

Shareholders

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 Swedbank Robur fonder (7.17%).

Personnel

On 31 March 2012 there were 1,859 (1,937) employees. 800 (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.

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 2011.

Since 2007, Duni's long-term financing has been secured through a financing agreement which extends to November 2012. Accordingly, Duni's borrowing as per 31 March 2012 is reported as short-term. Duni has commenced a procurement procedure with the intention of having a new long-term facility in place before the second half of the year.

Duni has no significant changes in contingent liabilities since 31 December 2011.

Transactions with related parties

No transactions with related parties took place during the first quarter of 2012.

Major events since 31 March

In a press release issued on 7 March 2012, Duni announced the implementation of an organizational change to create a more market-driven and efficient organization with increased focus on growth. The new organization entered into force on 1 April.

Since January 1, 2005, Duni applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. For transition effects see notes 45 and 46 in the Annual Report of 30 June 2007.

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Reporting. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU and with the related reference to Chapter 9 of the Annual Accounts Act. The parent company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with RFR 2, Reporting for Legal Entities, and the Annual Accounts Act. The accounting principles are the same as in the Annual Report as per 31 December 2011.
