MARIMEKKO CORPORATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT BULLETIN 1 JANUARY – 31 DECEMBER 2007

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT BULLETIN

The 2007 financial statement bulletin has been prepared in accordance with IFRS recognition and measurement principles, and applying the same accounting policies as for the 2006 financial statements. The information presented in this financial statement bulletin has not been audited.

NET SALES

In 2007, the Marimekko Group's net sales increased by 8.2% to EUR 77,264 thousand (EUR 71,424 thousand). In Finland, net sales rose by 5.6% to EUR 56,826 thousand (EUR 53,826 thousand). Exports and income from international operations increased by 16.1% and totalled EUR 20,438 thousand (EUR 17,598 thousand). Exports and income from international operations accounted for 26.5% (24.6%) of the Group's net sales.

The breakdown of the Group's net sales by product line was as follows: clothing, 38.9%, interior decoration, 46.3%, and bags, 14.8%. Net sales by market area were: Finland, 73.5%, the other Nordic countries, 11.1%, the rest of Europe, 6.1%, North America, 5.3%, and other countries (Japan and other regions outside Europe and North America), 4.0%.

In 2007, sales in Marimekko's own retail shops totalled EUR 29,958 thousand (EUR 29,209 thousand). Sales in the company's own shops in Finland rose by 2.3% (2.5%). Sales to retailers in Finland increased by 9.2% (-2.8%). This increase was primarily generated by substantial deliveries for one-off promotions.

NET SALES AND EARNINGS IN Q4

In the October-December period of 2007, the Marimekko Group's net sales rose by 12.5% to EUR 22,656 thousand (EUR 20,142 thousand). Net sales in Finland increased by 13.9% to EUR 17,507 thousand (EUR 15,373 thousand); growth was primarily generated by deliveries for one-off promotions. Exports and income from international operations grew by 7.9% and totalled EUR 5,149 thousand (EUR 4,769 thousand). The Group's operating profit fell by 10.4% to EUR 3,382 thousand (EUR 3,776 thousand). Earnings per share fell to EUR 0.31 (EUR 0.35). Earnings for the period were weakened by an increase in operating costs, the decelerating trend in sales from exports and international operations and the decrease in licensing income during the period.

REVIEWS BY BUSINESS UNIT

Clothing

In 2007, the Group's net sales of clothing fell by 0.9% to EUR 30,036 thousand (EUR 30,309 thousand). Sales in Finland declined slightly, while good growth continued in all export markets except the market area referred to as "other countries", where sales decreased. The briskest growth was seen in North America and the market area referred to as "the rest of Europe". Exports and income from international operations accounted for 22.3% of net sales of clothing.

Interior decoration

In 2007, net sales of interior decoration products rose by 16.6% and amounted to EUR 35,813 thousand (EUR 30,716 thousand). Buoyant growth was seen everywhere except the market area referred to as "other countries", which experienced a distinct fall in sales. In Finland, sales received a significant boost from substantial deliveries for one-off promotions. Exports and income from international operations accounted for 28.3% of net sales of interior decoration products.

Bags

Net sales of bags increased by 9.8% to EUR 11,415 thousand (EUR 10,399 thousand) in 2007. In Finland, net sales rose slightly, while brisk growth was seen in all export markets. Exports and income from international operations accounted for 31.6% of net sales of bags.

Business gifts and contract sales Sales of business gifts and contract sales rose by 5.3%.

Exports and international operations

In 2007, the Group's exports and income from international operations increased by 16.1% to EUR 20,438 thousand (EUR 17,598 thousand). Sales of all product lines grew well in all key export countries except for the market area referred to as "other countries", where sales of interior decoration products and clothing fell. The major export countries were Sweden, the United States, Denmark, Japan, Norway and Germany. Faster growth in exports was partly attributable to the new Marimekko concept stores set up by retailers. A total of seven concept stores and shop-in-shops were opened in 2007: in Graz, Austria; Yokohama, Nagoya and Tokyo, Japan; Vancouver, Canada; Aalborg, Denmark; and Silver Spring in metropolitan Washington DC, USA.

Net sales rose by 16.4% to EUR 8,581 thousand (EUR 7,373 thousand) in the market area referred to as "other Nordic countries". Net sales of all product lines grew well, with the greatest increase seen in sales of interior decoration products and bags. The briskest growth occurred in Denmark and Norway.

In the market area referred to as "the rest of Europe", net sales rose by 29.3% to EUR 4,725 thousand (EUR 3,655 thousand). Vigorous sales growth was seen in all product lines, with the most notable rise in Germany, Italy and Great Britain.

Net sales in North America rose by 19.3% to EUR 4,067 thousand (EUR 3,410 thousand). In relative terms, the greatest growth was seen in sales of clothing, but growth was also good in the other product lines. New concept stores established towards the end of 2006 and in 2007 contributed to the buoyant growth. At the end of the 2007 financial year, there were a total of five retailerestablished Marimekko concept stores in North America, four in the United States and one in Canada.

In the market area referred to as "other countries", net sales fell by 3.0% to EUR 3,065 thousand (EUR 3,160 thousand). Sales of bags continued to grow vigorously, but sales of clothing and interior decoration products fell significantly. The weaker trend in net sales was partly attributable to the termination of licensing operations in Japan at the end of 2006, which resulted in a substantial decrease in sales of interior decoration products. In 2006, Marimekko's Japanese distributor Look Inc. set up a total of seven Marimekko concept stores, whose opening purchases significantly raised sales for the year. Three new Marimekko concept stores were opened in 2007. At the end of the 2007 financial year, there were a total of ten Marimekko concept stores and shop-in-shops in Japan.

Licensing

Royalty earnings from sales of licensed products decreased significantly in 2007. Extremely buoyant growth continued in the Netherlands, but royalty earnings in other countries fell substantially. Most of this decline was due to the termination of licensing operations in Japan at the end of 2006. In March 2007, Marimekko began licensing co-operation with the Finnish company Itella Corporation. The agreement covers the use of Marimekko patterns on packaging materials and electronic postcards. In November 2007, Marimekko signed an agreement with the Swedish company H & M Hennes & Mauritz AB, whereby Marimekko licenses its patterns to H&M's summer 2008 collection. Thanks to this cooperation, royalty earnings for the second quarter of 2008 will rise substantially. Licensing co-operation with the US company Mara-Mi, Inc. ceased at the end of 2007.

Production

The production volume of the Herttoniemi textile-printing factory increased by 10% during the 2007 financial year. Production volumes at the clothing factory in Kitee and the bag factory in Sulkava remained at the same level as in the previous year. The major investments of 2007 were the renewal of the stenter frame in the textile-printing factory's finishing room as well as of fabric inspection machinery.

The need to increase manufacturing capacity for all product lines increased noticeably during 2007 and delivery times for some product groups had to be extended. In order to improve delivery capacity, Marimekko took on new suppliers and enhanced cooperation with existing subcontractors.

EARNINGS

In 2007, the Group's operating profit fell by 3.5% to EUR 10,487 thousand (EUR 10,864 thousand). Operating profit as a percentage of net sales amounted to 13.6% (15.2%). The Group's marketing expenses for 2007 totalled EUR 3,836 thousand (EUR 3,705 thousand), or 5.0% (5.2%) of net sales.

The Group's depreciation amounted to EUR 1,338 thousand (EUR 1,158 thousand), representing 1.7% (1.6%) of the Group's net sales. Net financial expenses totalled EUR 45 thousand (EUR 68 thousand), or 0.1% (0.1%) of the Group's net sales.

The Group's profit after taxes for the financial year totalled EUR 7,717 thousand (EUR 7,990 thousand), representing 10.0% (11.2%) of net sales. Earnings per share were EUR 0.96 (EUR 1.00).

Earnings for the 2007 financial year were primarily weakened by a rise in operating costs and a reduction in royalty earnings.

INVESTMENTS

The Group's gross investments during the financial year amounted to EUR 1,365 thousand (EUR 2,455 thousand), representing 1.8% (3.4%) of consolidated net sales. The major investments focused on the renewal of textile printing production equipment, the acquisition of information management systems, and the construction of premises for the Joensuu store.

EQUITY RATIO AND FINANCING

At the end of the financial period, the equity ratio was 72.7% (70.5% on 31 December 2006). The ratio of interest-bearing liabilities minus financial assets to shareholders' equity (gearing) was -15.2%, while it was -11.7% at the end of the previous year.

The Group's interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 1,791 thousand (EUR 2,642 thousand) at the end of the financial year. The Group's financing from operations was EUR 9,054 thousand (EUR 9,147 thousand). At the end of 2007, the Group's financial assets amounted to EUR 6,269 thousand (EUR 5,789 thousand).

RISK MANAGEMENT AND MAJOR RISKS

The major risks to Marimekko's business operations have been detailed in the company's 2006 Annual Report. No significant changes in these risks occurred during the 2007 financial year.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS

The Annual General Meeting of 12 April 2007 resolved that the company's Board of Directors shall have three members. Mr Matti Kavetvuo, M.Sc. (Eng.), B.Sc. (Econ.), and Mrs Kirsti Paakkanen, President, were re-elected as members of the Board of Directors until the end of the next Annual General Meeting. Tarja Pääkkönen, Ph.D. (Eng.), was elected as a new member. At its organisation meeting held after the Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors elected Matti Kavetvuo as Chairman of the Board.

The Annual General Meeting also confirmed that Nexia Tilintarkastus Oy, Authorised Public Accountants, will continue as regular auditor, with Mr Seppo Tervo, Authorised Public Accountant, as chief auditor, and Mr Matti Hartikainen, Authorised Public Accountant, as deputy auditor of the company.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS' PROPOSAL FOR THE DIVIDEND FOR THE 2007 FINANCIAL YEAR

A dividend of EUR 0.65 per share was paid for 2006 to a total of EUR 5,226,000.00. The Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 0.65 per share be paid for 2007. The proposed dividends represent 67.7% of the Group's earnings per share for the financial year. On 31 December 2007, the parent company's distributable funds amounted to EUR 17,934,598.73. The Board will propose 8 April 2008 as the dividend record date and 15 April 2008 as the dividend payout date.

OUTLOOK FOR 2008

Growth in the world economy is expected to slow during 2008. Marimekko operates in an industry in which changes in the business climate are reflected in consumption demand. In recent years, Marimekko's growth in Finland has levelled off and exports have increasingly been driving growth.

Based on the business climate outlook and Marimekko's business estimates, growth in the Marimekko Group's net sales in the 2008 financial year as well as the Group's relative profitability are forecast to remain at 2007 levels.
