CEO's comments

"Taking into account the fact that the opening quarter of the year included three fewer invoicing days and was characterized by a stronger Swedish krona, the quarter demonstrates underlying growth with both income and sales reaching satisfactory levels. Measured at fixed exchange rates, underlying sales increased by more than 2% compared with last year. Sales in the quarter are reported at SEK 852 m (856); at fixed exchange rates, sales increased to SEK 877 m (856). Operating income was SEK 55 m (60), but was affected by both currency exchange rates and fewer invoicing days.

Professional reports sales for the quarter of SEK 586 m (626). At fixed exchange rates, sales declined by some 3% compared with last year. This was due to the fact that the first quarter of the year includes fewer delivery days and invoicing days than the corresponding quarter of 2012. Meal Service is growing as a percentage of Professional's business and it is pleasing to note that our position is strengthening within the increasingly important take-away market. Table Top sales demonstrate a degree of growth compared with last year when measured at fixed exchange rates

and comparable invoicing days. The result was on the low side of our expectations, due primarily to the weaker demand in southern Europe. Evolin® has now been on the market for a year and, even if growth is proceeding more slowly than planned, we envision that over time Evolin will come to play an increasingly important role in our premium range. During the rollout year we have made extensive investments in sales and we can see that different customer segments have reacted to Evolin in different ways. Among other things, one conclusion is that the catering segment is the channel which has primarily understood the advantages provided by Evolin. At the same time, it is taking longer and requiring more sales resources to convince a conservative linen market. During the year, we launched several colors and the next stage is to evaluate new tablecovering formats with the aim of achieving a higher penetration in prioritized segments.

Consumer reports a strong quarter in terms of sales, driven by the major customer contracts which were won in 2012. Sales amounted to SEK 140 m (127) and, measured at fixed exchange rates, sales increased by 15.0% against the previous year. However, the result was negatively impacted by high market and sales costs and it is important that we incrementally increase efficiency in the cost structure in the major customer contracts. During the quarter, two external design cooperation projects were launched under the Designs for Duni™ concept, a concept which is unique for Duni and the industry as a whole. In Scandinavia, a product series was launched created by the Finnish design company Vallila and, in the rest of Europe, a corresponding cooperation project has been launched with the company behind the Melli Mello brand. These cooperation projects are unique and of strategic importance for Duni as a brand and a partner to the retail trade. Since the distribution is relatively selective, the activity should be regarded first and foremost as aimed at stimulating interest in Duni as an innovative player, and not as a volumedriving activity.

In February, the Board of Directors decided to leave the hygiene products market. The unit affected by the decision will continue to produce until April 2014. The phasingout model resulted in a higher rate of production and more efficient cost structure in the quarter, which led to an improvement in the results in the Tissue business area. Sales revenues for the quarter amounted to SEK 126 m (104), with an operating margin of 3.2% (0.2%).

All in all, it is pleasing that underlying growth in the quarter increased compared with the previous quarter, a trend we will take care of and develop during the coming quarters," says Thomas Gustafsson, President and CEO, Duni.

Net sales amounted to SEK 852 m 1 January – 31 March

Net sales declined by SEK 4 m compared with the same period last year, to SEK 852 m (856). However, when adjusted for exchange rate changes net sales increased by 2.5% − which should be viewed in light of the fact that there were three fewer invoicing days. When adjusted also for this factor, Duni recorded growth during the quarter. General demand remained weak and reflects a cautious approach by end customers and consumers. Growth can primarily be traced to new contracts within the Consumer business area and an increase in sales within the Tissue business area. The increase within Tissue is a oneoff increase since it is due to the special circumstances which arose following announcement of the closure of the hygiene products business.

Operating margin of 6.4%

1 January – 31 March

Operating income (EBIT) adjusted for non-recurring items amounted to SEK 55 m (60). The gross margin was 25.7% (26.5%) and the underlying operating margin for the Group was 6.4% (7.0%). Adjusted for exchange rate changes, operating income declined by SEK 2 m compared with last year. During the quarter, the strong Swedish krona had a significant detrimental impact on income, since a large percentage of revenues are in EUR. Input materials for traded goods continue to be at historically high price levels, which have not yet been compensated for in full vis-à-vis customers. Nevertheless, thanks to a focus on increased efficiency and selected cost saving measures, a lower level of indirect costs has been achieved and, consequently, the operating margin has been maintained at almost the same level as last year.

Non-recurring items

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

The income reported to the period 1 January – 31 March is affected by neither non-realized valuation effects of derivatives nor restructuring costs. For further information, see Note 5.

During 2012, restructuring costs were incurred totaling SEK 113 m. Of this amount, SEK 83 m relates to the planned closure of the hygiene products unit within Tissue. This primarily involves write-downs of fixed assets and, in part, also of inventories. It is estimated that closure of the unit will be completed in April 2014.

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 69% (73%) of Duni's net sales during the period 1 January – 31 March 2013. 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 (focused primarily on the grocery retail trade) accounted for 16% (15%) of net sales during the period.

The Tissue business area (airlaid and tissue-based material for tabletop products and hygiene applications) accounted for 15% (12%) of sales to external customers during the period. Duni plan to close down the part of the business involving external sales, primarily to the hygiene products sector, within the Tissue business area. Production is planned to be phased out over the next four quarters.

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 4.

Professional business area

1 January – 31 March

Sales amounted to SEK 586 m (626). At fixed exchange rates this represents a decline in sales of 3.2%, but sales increased somewhat when adjusted for fewer invoicing days. It is also worth to note that during the first quarter of last year German sales were positively affected by a sale of a consignment stock. The weak economic climate in Europe has had a negative effect on individual markets. Duni's launch of Evolin® last year constitutes an important component in securing our lead over competitors by means of a unique, value-creating offering. The linen market is conservative in nature, but sales of Evolin are increasing

Sales, Geographical split, Professional

from low levels. During the quarter, it has primarily been the takeaway sector which has driven growth and the new marketfocused organization established last year represents an important element in further strengthening Duni's position and focus within this area.

Operating income was SEK 53 m (61) and the operating margin was 9.1% (9.8%). The quarter demonstrates stability on most markets, in terms of both sales and income. The strong Swedish krona during the quarter had a detrimental effect on income. Increased efficiency and a lower cost level in the operations are important and have also had a positive impact on earnings. The pulp price has been stable for quite some time, while individual qualities within plasticbased products and candles continue to be challenging. Efficient purchasing work is important for retaining satisfactory gross margins also within this segment.

Consumer business area

1 January – 31 March

Net sales amounted to SEK 140 m (127), representing an increase in sales of 15.0% at fixed exchange rates. The strong growth is attributable to the fact that the full effect of the new contracts which were secured last year is now being realized, particularly on the important German market. Cooperation projects with established and well-known design houses during the quarter have further strengthened Duni's brand and involved interesting experiences to the future.

Operating income was SEK -3 m (-1). The operating margin declined to -1.8% (-0.9%). Despite an increase in sales, the result was somewhat weaker than last year. During the quarter, a number of initiatives were taken to further strengthen Duni's competitiveness, both as a leader within design and premium quality,

but also within other parts of the product range. Consequently, cost levels within sales and marketing were somewhat higher, thereby explaining the lower margin.

Tissue business area

1 January – 31 March

External net sales amounted to SEK 126 m (104). Operating income was SEK 4 m (0). The operating margin strengthened to 3.2% (0.2%). The strong growth in sales during the quarter is a direct result of the decision to close down the hygiene products business. This is reflected in a high degree of production capacity utilization, which is the most important factor behind the improvement in earnings within the business area. The hygiene products business is planned to be phased out during the next four quarters.

Cash flow

The Group's operating cash flow for the period 1 January – 31 March amounted to SEK 9 (43). The inventory value is SEK 432 m (485). Accounts receivable amount to SEK 590 m (584) and accounts payable amount to SEK 282 m (287).

Cash flow including capital expenditures amounted to SEK -4 m (5). Net capital expenditures for the period amounted to SEK 14 m (39). Amortization/depreciation for the period amounted to SEK 30 m (28). Duni is continuing to work on optimizing capital employed with a focus on consolidating the activities and improvements which characterized the whole of 2012. Investments were at an extremely low level during the quarter, but are expected to increase somewhat in order to guarantee that Duni remains at the forefront in terms of production efficiency and an optimal logistics flow.

The Group's interest-bearing net debt per 31 March 2013 was SEK 608 m, compared with SEK 732 m per 31 March 2012. Excluding the change in accounting principles regarding the pension liability, the net debt would have been at the historically low level of SEK 532 m.

Financial net

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

Taxes

The total reported tax expense for the period 1 January – 31 March amounted to SEK 13 (13), yielding an effective tax rate of 25.8% (26.8%).

The deferred tax asset relating to loss carryforwards was utilized in the amount of SEK 6 m (4).

Earnings per share

The earnings per share before and after dilution amounted to SEK 0.77 (0.78).

Duni's share

As per 31 March 2013 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 (10.75%) and Lannebo fonder (9.05%).

Personnel

On 31 March 2013 there were 1 873 (1 859) employees. 794 (800) of the employees were engaged in production. Duni's production units are located in Bramsche in Germany, Poznan in Poland, and Bengtsfors in Sweden.

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 2012.

Duni has had no changes in contingent liabilities since 31 December 2012.

During the summer of 2012, Duni signed a new financing agreement which extends over three years. Accordingly, the borrowing is once again reported as long term.

Transactions with related parties

No transactions with related parties took place during the first quarter of 2013.

Major events during the period

In a press release issued on 12 February 2013, it was announced that Duni had decided to commence negotiations with the labor unions regarding closure of the part of the operations in the subsidiary Rexcell Tissue & Airlaid AB which involve external sales, primarily to the hygiene products sector.

Major events since 31 March

No significant events have occurred since the balance sheet date.

Notes

Note 1 • Accounting and valuation principles

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.

As from 1 January 2013, Duni applies the revised IAS 19, Employee Benefits (IAS 19R). This entails that previously unreported actuarial losses are reported on the transition date and that the actuarial profits or losses which arise going forward will be reported in Comprehensive Income. In addition, the method for calculating pension costs has been changed since the standard requires that the return on the managed assets which is reported in the income statement must be established based on the discount rate applied for calculation of the commitment. Regarding transition effects, see Note 2.

Duni also applies IFRS 13, entailing additional disclosure concerning financial assets and liabilities; see also Note 3. Otherwise, the accounting principles are the same as in the Annual Report per 31 December 2012.

Note 2 •Transition effects from changed accounting principle, IAS19R

The transition on 1 January 2012 entails an impact on equity of SEK 40 m; the pension liability increased by SEK 51 m, deferred tax increased by SEK 14 m, and other receivables were reduced by SEK 3 m.

Note 3 • Financial assets and liabilities

Duni has derivative instruments valued at fair value and held for hedging purposes; all derivative instruments are classified on level 2.

Level 2 derivative instruments consist of currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps, which are used for hedging purposes. Valuation of currency forward contracts at fair value is based on published futures prices on an active market. The valuation of interest rate swaps is based on futures interest rates produced based on observable yield curves. The discounting has no material impact on the valuation of derivative instruments on level 2. No financial assets or liabilities have been moved between the valuation categories. The valuation techniques are unchanged during the year.

As described in greater detail in the Annual Report per 31 December 2012, the financial assets and liabilities comprise items with short terms to maturity. Thus, the fair value is considered in all essential respects to correspond to the book value.
