Outlook for 219 The global economic growth is estimated to continue in 219, albeit at a slower pace than in 218. There are, however, significant uncertainties related to this, including trade negotiations between China and the US, growth in China, the undefined nature of Brexit and political uncertainties in several countries. These issues may have an impact on the global economic growth and on UPM s product and raw material markets during 219. UPM reached record earnings in 218. UPM s business performance is expected to continue at a good level in 219. In 219, favorable demand is expected to continue for most UPM businesses. Demand decline is expected to continue for UPM Communication Papers. In the beginning of the year 219, pulp prices are expected to be lower and graphic paper prices in Europe are expected to be higher than in Q4 218. Input costs are expected to stabilise after the significant increases seen in 218. UPM will continue measures to reduce both variable and fixed costs. Fair value increases of forest assets are not expected to contribute meaningfully to comparable EBIT in 219.

UPM Communication Papers We expect a predictable market development in an economically stable environment We do not anticipate disruptive changes, but accept market reality: Direct Marketing continues to develop with variations from market to market, e.g. increasing in Germany while dropping in the UK Catalogues remain a means of consumer activation, cases of pure online-retailers and specialist stores investing in printed catalogues increase Magazine publishers continue to build on printed editions, decreasing circulations are partly offset by a continuous flow of new titles in niche segments Newspaper circulation is declining fast in main markets, with Germany being relatively resilient Fine papers continue playing an important role in private and office uses resulting in a relatively slow decline, regulatory changes remain a risk-factor. 45 UPM
