profitability developed as anticipated in the first half of 2007. In
the second quarter, we continued to build on our core business by
signing an agreement on merging our dental wholesale business with
Lifco by the beginning of 2008. Our goal is to form the dental

in the Baltic countries and Denmark (15 percent). At 31 December
2006, personnel numbered 1,495.

Business segments

Oriola-KD has two business segments: the Pharmaceutical Trade
business segment and the Healthcare and Dental Trade business
segment.

Pharmaceutical Trade business segment

The Pharmaceutical Trade business segment's invoicing in January-June
was EUR 1,139.0 million (EUR 1,037.1 million) and net sales were EUR
586.7 million (EUR 555.2 million). Operating profit excluding one-off
items was EUR 9.7 million (EUR 6.6 million).

Second-quarter invoicing came to EUR 575.9 million (EUR 529.0
million) and net sales to EUR 295.5 million (EUR 280.2 million).
Second-quarter operating profit excluding one-off items was EUR 4.6
million (EUR 3.9 million).

The pharmaceutical market in Finland grew by 4.4 percent (1.1
percent) and in Sweden by 6.3 percent (4.9 percent) in January-June
2007 (source: IMS Health). Growth in the Finnish pharmaceutical
market slowed materially in May-June, however, owing to which the
second-quarter operating profit of Oriola-KD's Pharmaceutical Trade
business segment fell short of Q1.

Oriola-KD's market share in pharmaceutical distribution in Finland
was 45.5 percent (41.3 percent) in June 2007 and 46.8 percent (41.6
percent) in January-June 2007. In Sweden, Oriola-KD's share of the
pharmaceutical distribution market was 44.8 percent (43.9 percent) in
June 2007 and 42.4 percent (43.8 percent) in January-June 2007
(source: ATY and IMS Health).

The efficiency measures implemented in 2006 will enhance the
profitability of the Pharmaceutical Trade business segment in 2007.
In Q2, Kronans Droghandel AB closed down an unprofitable
pharmaceuticals packaging line at Mölnlycke in Sweden.

The number of employees within the Pharmaceutical Trade business
segment was 919 (1034) at 30 June 2007, compared to 925 at year-end
2006.

New distribution agreements

In the period under review Oriola-KD started the distribution of
Schering-Plough's and Roche's pharmaceuticals in Finland as of 1
January 2007. Schering-Plough's market share of Finnish
pharmaceutical market in 2006 came to 1.7 percent and Roche's market
share to 3.8 percent. In Sweden Oriola-KD started the distribution of
Meda's pharmaceuticals as of 1 January 2007 and Pfizer's all
pharmaceuticals from the end of May 2007 onwards. Before the end of
May Oriola-KD distributed approximately half of Pfizer's
pharmaceuticals. Meda's market share of Swedish pharmaceutical market
in 2006 came to 1.2 percent and Pfizer's market share to 9.2 percent
(source: IMS Health).

Negotiations with principals in the review period did not result in
Oriola-KD concluding any significant new distribution agreements in
Finland or Sweden.

Transferring distribution agreements

The pharmaceutical principals transferring from Oriola-KD in the
period under review hold a total combined share of some 1.5 percent
of the pharmaceutical market in Finland and some 3 percent in Sweden.
The transferring pharmaceutical principals are the Finnish subsidiary
of Amgen AB as of 1 April 2007 in Finland and Schering Nordiska in
Sweden as of 1 July 2007 and Amgen AB in Sweden as of 1 October 2007.

During the second quarter Oriola-KD started negotiations, mainly with
small and mid-size pharmaceutical principals to renew unprofitable
distribution agreements in Finland and Sweden. The target of these
negotiations is to improve profitability and use of net working
capital from 2008 onwards.

According to the situation at 30 June 2007, Oriola-KD's share of the
pharmaceutical distribution market in 2007 is estimated at some 46
percent in Finland and approximately 43 percent in Sweden.

Healthcare and Dental Trade business segment

The Healthcare and Dental Trade business segment's invoicing in
January-June 2007 was EUR 140.3 million (EUR 137.0 million) and net
sales were EUR 125.2 million (EUR 116.7 million). Operating profit
excluding one-off items was EUR 6.6 million (EUR 4.1 million).

Second-quarter invoicing came to EUR 68.5 million (EUR 65.7 million)
and net sales to EUR 60.7 million (EUR 55.6 million). Second-quarter
operating profit excluding one-off items was EUR 2.9 million (EUR 1.3
million).

On 7 June 2007, Oriola-KD Corporation and Lifco Ab entered into an
agreement to merge their dental trade businesses in Finland, Sweden,
Norway, Denmark and the Baltics in order to create the industry's
Northern European market leader. In addition to the merger of
businesses, Oriola-KD will increase its holding in the company to be
established to 30 percent with a cash contribution of EUR 14 million.
Lifco will hold a 70-percent stake in the new company.

The dental trade businesses, trademarks, assets and subsidiaries of
both Oriola-KD and Lifco will transfer to the new company which had
combined 2006 (pro forma) net sales of ca. EUR 140 million and an
operating profit of some EUR 13 million. The annual cost synergies
are estimated at two million euro starting in 2008, which will be
attained mainly through the consolidation of operations in the
various countries. Oriola-KD's Dental Trade business segment had net
sales of EUR 44 million and showed an operating profit of EUR 1.4
million in 2006. The new company launches operations with a strong
balance sheet and no interest-bearing debt. The merger is estimated
to contribute to higher operating profit at Oriola-KD starting from
Q4 in 2007. The transaction is slated for completion by early 2008
and is subject to the approval of the respective local competition
authorities.

The new company will be headed by Mr. Fredrik Karlsson, current
President of Lifco AB and it will employ some 420 persons. All of
Oriola-KD's dental employees will transfer to the entities of the new
group under their current terms and conditions of employment. Lifco
Dental's personnel numbers about 300 while Oriola-KD's Dental Trade
business has some 120 employees. The joint company will have its
headquarters in Enköping, Sweden. Mr. Tero Riikonen has been
appointed Managing Director of Oriola-KD's Finnish Dental business
effective 7 June 2007. Ms. Senja Tynkkynen, Vice President of
Oriola-KD Group's Dental Trade business and member of the Group's
management team, has resigned.

Business in the Healthcare and Dental Trade segment developed
favourably in the first half of 2007, yet the second-quarter
performance of the Dental Trade segment fell short of Q1. During Q2,
Kronans Droghandel AB sold its home distribution business in the
Swedish province of Skåne to Schenker Dedicated Service AB.

The number of employees within the Healthcare and Dental Trade
business segment was 567 (575) at 30 June 2007, compared to 570 at
year-end 2006.

period equalled 35.0 percent of total outstanding shares. The traded
volume of Class A shares in the period under review amounted to 14.8
percent of average outstanding stock and that of Class B shares to
47.6 percent.

Oriola-KD Corporation had a market capitalisation of EUR 482.1
million at 30 June 2007.

Under Article 3 of the Articles of Association, a shareholder may
demand conversion of Class A shares into Class B shares. During the
first half of the 2007, a total of 4,563,300 Class A shares have been
converted into Class B shares. At 30 June 2007, the company had
51,731,340 Class A shares and 89,526,488 Class B shares.

The Annual General Meeting held on 13 March 2007 authorised the Board
to acquire for the Company its own Class B shares in the amount not
to exceed 1,450,000 shares. The authorisation shall remain in force
for a period not to exceed eighteen months from the decision taken by
the Annual General Meeting.

At the same time the AGM authorised the Board to execute 650,000 B
shares for Oriola-KD's top management incentive scheme and to sell no
more than 800,000 B shares in public trading organised by the
Helsinki Exchanges.

Companies in the Oriola-KD Group held no parent company shares at the
end of the review period.

Risk factors

Oriola-KD's risks are classified as strategic, operative and
financial. Risk management is a key element of the strategic process,
operative planning and daily decision-making at Oriola-KD.

Oriola-KD has identified the following most significant strategic and
operative risks in its business:


  * changes in bargaining position vis-à-vis suppliers and customers
  * impact of the possible shift in the structure of the Swedish
    market to business concepts
  * maintenance of cost-effectiveness and flexibility in costs
  * provision of competitive products and services in expanding and
    consolidating markets
  * expansion-related risks in new markets and business areas
  * commitment of key employees


The major financial risks for Oriola-KD involve currency exchange
rates, interest rates, liquidity and credit.

During the period under review, there were no material change in the
risks and uncertainty factors faced by Oriola-KD in the near future.

Future outlook

Oriola-KD's outlook for 2007 is based on external market forecasts,
agreements with principals, cumulative orders and management's
estimates.

Long term fundamentals and growth prospects are deemed favourable in
the healthcare market. Oriola-KD estimates that the pharmaceutical
market in Finland and Sweden will grow by about 3-5 percent annually
over the next few years, which is in line with the longer-term
average growth rate of these markets.

The overall objective of the cost efficiency measures that were
implemented in 2006 is to achieve total savings of some five million
euros annually in the Group's operations in Finland and Sweden, with
full impact evidenced in 2007.

Oriola-KD estimates that growth in the market for healthcare and
dental equipment and supplies will outpace that of the pharmaceutical
market in Finland and in Sweden. Oriola-KD projects growth outpacing
that of the market in sales of healthcare equipment and supplies and
in keeping with the market in dental trade sales. Invoicing in the
healthcare logistics services in Sweden is estimated to fall from
2006 levels.

Oriola-KD's invoicing in 2007 is projected to exceed comparable
invoicing in the previous year primarily as a result of new
agreements with principals concluded in 2006 and market growth.
Operating profit excluding one-off items in 2007 is projected to
exceed comparable operating profit in the previous year primarily as
a result of higher invoicing and cost efficiency measures implemented
in 2006. The dental business merger between Oriola-KD and Lifco is
estimated to contribute to higher operating profit at Oriola-KD
starting from Q4 in 2007.
