SUPERIOR ACCESS TO LOW-COST WOOD

Note: The numbers are based on the Pöyry Forest Industry Consulting Q2 2007 wood cost comparison. Sources: Pöyry Forest Industry Consulting

Average Hardwood and Softwood Costs (EUR/m3, Q2 2007)

~ 68% of Mondi Uncoated Fine Paper wood consumption from Russia and South Africa

Russian and South African costs are largely under our own control. Therefore, future wood costs are largely controllable

INTEGRATED VALUE CHAIN COMBINED WITH ACCESS TO LOW-COST WOOD

Control over wood resources due to the wood dynamics increasingly becoming a key competitive factor Mondi benefiting from an integrated value chain combined with access to low-cost wood with Russian and South African costs largely under our own control giving Mondi a competitive advantage

WOOD DYNAMICS

Recently a number of studies have been conducted on wood availability and pulp wood prices in the European region.

The results show that the wood processing industry in Western Europe is under pressure from increased fibre demand and bio-mass burning for energy and is forecasted to experience increasing wood shortages.

Eastern European countries and Russia are less affected by this trend.

Russia is influencing the market via the introduction of potentially prohibitive customs duties.

The wood market is still a regional one, as transportation costsare high.

CONCLUSIONS FROM RECENT WOOD / BIO ENERGY STUDIES

General raw material demand, combined with bio-energy demand is increasing pressure on fibre supply.

Bio-energy subsidies do seem to be slowing.

Overall European fibre supply is considered to remain tight with further cost increases anticipated,

Eastern European demand and supply is balanced to a large extent,Only Western Russia holds considerable wood reserves, which duties are now confining to domestic producers.

Consequently wood prices are likely to increase further in the coming years.

As forests in Russia and South Africa are managed, future wood availability and costs are largely under our control.
