President and CEO Eero Hautaniemi: "The result and business of
Oriola-KD proceeded to plan in the January-September period. Good
progress was made in the takeover of the Russian companies and a
profit was recorded from the operations in Russia in the third
quarter. The turbulence of the global financial market is not
anticipated to have a negative effect on our end-year operations. We
will continue our long-term strategic ventures in Russia and Sweden.
Oriola-KD's operating profit for 2008, inclusive of the additional
expenditure arising from strategic ventures and the effects of the
acquisition in Russia, is anticipated to exceed that for the previous
year."
Financial performance
Oriola-KD's invoicing in January-September 2008 was EUR 2,116.1
million (EUR 1,884.5 million) and net sales were EUR 1,131.7 million
(EUR 1,045.7 million). Third-quarter invoicing came to EUR 716.2
million (EUR 605.2 million) and net sales to EUR 398.4 million (EUR
333.8 million).
Operating profit for January-September 2008 came to EUR 20.6 million
(EUR 22.1 million) and profit after financial items came to EUR 20.2
million (EUR 23.6 million). During the review period, Oriola-KD
invested heavily in strategic growth ventures, the execution and
takeover of the Russian acquisition and the business opportunities
offered by the potential deregulation of the Swedish pharmacy market.
The strategic growth ventures gave rise to additional expenditure of
EUR 1.6 million in the period under review. Third-quarter operating
profit came to EUR 7.9 million (EUR 8.0 million) and profit after
financial items to EUR 7.3 million (EUR 8.5 million).
Oriola-KD's financing expenses in January-September 2008 were EUR 0.4
million. In the corresponding period in 2007, financing income was
EUR 1.5 million.
Taxes in the review period amounted to EUR 5.1 million (EUR 5.8
million). Taxes corresponding to the result for the period under
review are accounted as taxes.
Net earnings in January-September 2008 were EUR 15.1 million (EUR
17.8 million).
Oriola-KD's earnings per share in the review period were EUR 0.11
(EUR 0.12). Return on capital employed was 13.4 per cent (15.1 per
cent) and return on equity 10.0 per cent (12.1 per cent).
Balance sheet, financing and cash flow
Oriola-KD's balance sheet total on 30 September 2008 stood at EUR
796.7 million (EUR 613.3 million). Cash assets at the end of
September 2008 were at EUR 20.4 million (EUR 96.6 million), and
equity was EUR 196.9 million (EUR 199.8 million). Oriola-KD's equity
ratio was 25.3 per cent (33.5 per cent).
At the end of the review period, interest-bearing net debt amounted
to EUR 39.0 million (EUR -79.6 million) and the gearing ratio was
19.8 per cent (-39.8 per cent). Interest-bearing debt stood at EUR
59.4 million on 30 September 2009 (EUR 17.0 million) and was made up
of drawings on the commercial paper programme and pharmacies' advance
payments in Finland. At the end of September, Oriola-KD had drawn EUR
41 million from the commercial paper programme at the end of the
review period. Credit facilities of approximately EUR 80 million with
banks to secure the programme remained untapped at the end of the
period under review.
Cash flow from operations in January-September 2008 was EUR -22.6
million (EUR 10.5 million), of which changes in working capital
accounted for EUR -43.3 million (EUR -15.6 million). Working capital
increased as a result of the expansion of the Russian companies and
changes in their terms of payment, and the temporary increase in
stocks and trade receivables in Sweden. The changes in the terms of
payment will improve the competitiveness and performance of the
businesses in Russia. Cash flow from investments was EUR -76.0
million (EUR -2.0 million). During the review period, cash flow after
investments was EUR -98.5 million (EUR 8.5 million). Cash flow from
financing includes a dividend of EUR 11.3 million paid in April.

(EUR 4.9 million) and mainly concerned the business acquisition in
Russia, the acquisition of a 12.51 per cent minority holding in
Kronans Droghandel AB from Merck Sharp & Dohme (Sverige) AB, and
operative maintenance and PPE investments.
Personnel
At the end of the period under review, Oriola-KD had a payroll of
4,696 employees (1,389), 73 per cent of whom worked in Russia (0 per
cent), 14 per cent in Finland (57 per cent), 8 per cent in Sweden (26
per cent ) and 5 per cent in the Baltic countries and Denmark
combined (17 per cent).
Business segments
Oriola-KD has two business segments: The Pharmaceutical Trade
business segment and the Healthcare Trade business segment, which
includes the share of profits from the associated dental trade
company.
Pharmaceutical Trade business segment
The Pharmaceutical Trade business segment's invoicing in
January-September 2008 was EUR 1,969.9 million (EUR 1,682.0 million)
and net sales were EUR 1,019.2 million (EUR 865.0 million).

and net sales to EUR 364.6 million (EUR 278.3 million).

(EUR 14.7 million), which includes the Russian business' operating
loss of EUR 0.8 million from the second and third quarters.
Third-quarter operating profit came to EUR 7.0 million (EUR 5.0
million), which includes the Russian business' operating profit of
EUR 0.2 million from the third quarter.
On 30 September 2008, the number of employees within the
Pharmaceutical Trade business segment was 4,298 (866).
Finland
The Pharmaceutical Trade business segment's invoicing in Finland in
January-September 2008 was EUR 772.8 million (EUR 721.5 million) and
net sales were EUR 389.8 million (EUR 347.9 million).
The Finnish pharmaceutical market grew by 6.7 per cent (4.7 per cent)
in the review period. Oriola-KD held a 47.8 per cent (46.3 per cent)
share of the pharmaceutical distribution market in Finland in
January-September 2008 (source: IMS Health).
Oriola-KD took over the distribution of Wyeth products in Finland at
the beginning of 2008. Wyeth's share of the Finnish pharmaceutical
market is roughly two per cent (source: IMS Health). Oriola-KD
retained all its major pharmaceutical principals in Finland during
the period under review.
Based on the situation at the end of the review period, Oriola-KD's
estimated share of the pharmaceutical wholesale market in Finland
will be approximately 47 per cent in 2008.
Sweden
The Pharmaceutical Trade business segment's invoicing in Sweden in
January-September 2008 was EUR 972.3 million (EUR 933.1 million) and
net sales were EUR 410.1 million (EUR 493.0 million). The decline in
net sales in Sweden was the result of the increase of the relative
share of pharmaceutical manufacturers' consignment agreements.
The Swedish pharmaceutical market grew by 4.9 per cent (6.7 per cent)
in January-September 2008. Oriola-KD held a 44.0 per cent (42.3 per
cent) share of the pharmaceutical distribution market in Sweden in
January-September 2008 (source: IMS Health).
Oriola-KD took over the distribution of McNeil products in Sweden at
the beginning of 2008. McNeil's share of the Swedish pharmaceutical
market is roughly two per cent (source: IMS Health).Oriola-KD
retained all its major pharmaceutical principals in Sweden during the
period under review.
Based on the situation at the end of the review period, Oriola-KD's
estimated share of the pharmaceutical wholesale market in Sweden will
be approximately 43 per cent in 2008.
The Swedish Government has proposed the deregulation of the pharmacy
monopoly in mid-2009. In the third quarter, Oriola-KD continued to
prepare for this proposed change in the pharmacy market.
In June, Oriola-KD increased its shareholding in the Swedish Kronans
Droghandel AB (KD) from 85.62 per cent to 98.13 per cent by acquiring
the minority holding of Merck Sharp & Dohme (Sverige) AB. Merck Sharp& Dohme
(Sverige) AB held a 12.51 per cent minority in KD. The
minority holding in KD subsequent to the transaction consists of
Organon AB's 1.87 per cent holding.
Russia
The retail and wholesale businesses Vitim and Moron that were
acquired in Russia have been consolidated into Oriola-KD's accounts
as of 1 April 2008. In April-September, the net sales of the acquired
companies grew by some 31 per cent to EUR 191.6 million. The Russian
retail and wholesale companies' operating loss for April-September
was roughly EUR 0.8 million, which includes EUR 0.4 million in
depreciation relating to the fair value allocation of the
acquisition. Operating profit for July-September was EUR 0.2 million.
The company focused on improving operating efficiency and
profitability in the third quarter, and as a result, the number of
pharmacies did not increase. The business in Russia is typically
seasonal in that performance in the first and fourth quarters of the
year is usually strong. Historically speaking, performance in the
fourth quarter of the year has been the strongest by a clear margin,
whereas the second and third quarters have been weaker than the other
quarters.
Oriola-KD confirmed the acquisition of the pharmacy and
pharmaceutical wholesale businesses Vitim and Moron on 21 April 2008.
The acquisition involved the establishment of a Finnish company,
Foreti Oy, which owns Vitim, a Moscow-based pharmacy retail company,
and Moron, a pharmaceutical wholesaler. Oriola-KD's holding in Foreti
Oy subsequent to the acquisition is 75 per cent while the founders of
the Russian companies, Igor Yankov and Oleg Yankov, hold 25 per cent.
Oriola-KD has agreed to buy out the remaining 25 per cent holding in
2010 for a consideration based on the companies' performance in 2009.
The Boards of Directors of Foreti Oy, Vitim and Moron are made up of
Eero Hautaniemi (Chairman), Kimmo Virtanen, Christian Ramm-Schmidt,
Igor Yankov and Oleg Yankov.
Other countries
The Pharmaceutical Trade business segment's invoicing in the Baltics
in January-September 2008 was EUR 30.6 million (EUR 27.4 million) and
net sales were EUR 27.6 million (EUR 24.1 million).
Healthcare Trade business segment
The Healthcare Trade business segment's invoicing in
January-September 2008 was EUR 146.2 million (EUR 202.6 million) and
net sales were EUR 112.6 million (EUR 180.7 million). Invoicing and
net sales in the Healthcare Trade business segment were reduced by
the merger of the Dental Trade business with and into Lifco Dental,
by the sale of the home distribution business in Sweden in 2007, and
by changes in principals in Finland. Third-quarter invoicing came to
EUR 44.8 million (EUR 62.2 million) and net sales to EUR 33.8 million
(EUR 55.5 million).
Operating profit in January-September 2008 was EUR 7.5 million (EUR
10.0 million). Third-quarter operating profit was EUR 2.1 million
(EUR 3.4 million).
The Healthcare Trade business segment had a payroll of 398 (523)
employees at the end of September 2008.
Finland
The Healthcare Trade business segment's invoicing in Finland in
January-September 2008 was EUR 61.4 million (EUR 61.5 million) and
net sales were EUR 55.7 million (EUR 57.6 million). Changes in
principals reduced invoicing and weakened profitability in Finland.
Sysmex haematology products transferred from Oriola-KD at the
beginning of 2008 and Zimmer orthopaedic products at the end of
March. The product range was augmented with Carl Zeiss Meditec's
ophthalmic surgery products in early 2008.
Sweden
The Healthcare Trade business segment's invoicing in Sweden in
January-September 2008 was EUR 75.5 million (EUR 97.3 million) and
net sales were EUR 47.6 million (EUR 81.3 million). The sale of the
home distribution business in Sweden in 2007 reduced both invoicing
and net sales. Profitability has improved in 2008 and the transition
from distribution to wholesaling business has proceeded according to
plan.
Other countries
The Healthcare Trade business segment's invoicing in the Baltics and
Denmark in January-September 2008 was EUR 9.3 million (EUR 8.6
million) and net sales were EUR 9.2 million (EUR 7.5 million).
Dental Trade
Dental Trade contributed EUR 0.0 million (EUR 35.2 million) to the
segment's invoicing, EUR 0.0 million (EUR 34.3 million) to its net
sales and EUR 1.3 million (EUR 1.3 million) to the segment's
operating profit in January-September 2008. Personnel numbered 85 on
30 September 2007. The merger of the dental business with and into
Lifco Dental was finalised on 2 January 2008 with the merger of the
businesses in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Oriola-KD holds a 30 per
cent share of the merged dental business while Lifco has a 70 per
cent holding. Operating profit in dental trade has not met
expectations largely because of poor profitability in Finland and
several one-off items related to corporate acquisitions and
terminations of business.

Risks
The Board of Directors of Oriola-KD has approved the company's risk
management policy in which the operational model, principles,
responsibilities and reporting in risk management have been
determined. The Group's risk management seeks to identify, measure
and manage risks that may threaten the operations of the company and
the achievement of goals set for them. The roles and responsibilities
relating to risk management have been determined in the Group.
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
* impacts on business concepts from potential changes in the
structure of the Swedish market
* 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 businesses
* commitment of key employees
The major financial risks for Oriola-KD involve currency exchange
rates, interest rates, liquidity and credit. The estimated
USD-denominated additional purchase price on the Russian business
acquisition and the USD-denominated purchase price of the remaining
25 per cent holding were hedged in July 2008 in accordance with the
Group's treasury policy.
Oriola-KD's exposure to risks relating to new markets and businesses
as well as financial risks increased in the second quarter as the
Company expanded to the Russian pharmaceutical retail and wholesale
market. Currency exchange rate risks are the main financial risks
related to Russia: possible changes of ruble's value has impact on
Oriola-KD's financial result. Goodwill and intangible rights are
subject to annual impairment testing which may affect Oriola-KD's
financial result.
Near-term risks and uncertainty factors
Factors with a material impact on Oriola-KD's near-term outlook are
the success of the takeover of the Russian acquisition, the
realization of the growth potential of the Russia-based businesses,
and general market trends in Russia. The uncertainty of the global
financial market may have an effect on Oriola-KD's near-term
business.
Events after the period under review
Cecilia Marlow, M.Sc. (Econ.) (b. 1960) has been appointed Managing
Director of Kronans Droghandel AB (KD) and a member of the Oriola-KD
Group Management Team as of 1 November 2008. Birgitta Gunneflo, KD's
current Managing Director and member of the Group Management Team,
will resign from her post on 1 November 2008. Cecilia Marlow started
as Vice President of Oriola KD's retail business in Sweden on 4
August 2008. In addition her principal duty is to prepare Oriola-KD's
Swedish businesses for the possible post-deregulated Swedish pharmacy
market.
Outlook
Oriola-KD's outlook for 2008 is based on external market forecasts,
agreements with principals, cumulative orders and management's
estimates. Long term fundamentals and growth prospects are deemed to
remain 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 Russian pharmaceutical market is estimated to see
growth of nearly 20 percent annually in the next few years. Growth in
the market for healthcare equipment and supplies in Finland and
Sweden is estimated to outpace that of the pharmaceutical market.
Invoicing in the Pharmaceutical Trade business segment in 2008 is
estimated to rise due to market growth and expansion to Russia.
Invoicing in the Healthcare and Dental Trade business segment is
projected as lower than in the previous year due to the merger with
and into Lifco Dental, the sale of the home distribution business in
Sweden in 2007 and changes in principals in Finland. Oriola-KD's
invoicing in 2008 is projected as clearly higher than in the previous
year.
Operating profit in the Pharmaceutical Trade business segment is
anticipated to see positive development in 2008. Oriola-KD is
investing in strategic growth ventures, the takeover of the Russian
acquisition and the business opportunities offered by the potential
deregulation of the Swedish pharmacy market, which are projected to
give rise to additional expenditure not exceeding three million euro
in 2008. Operating profit in the Pharmaceutical Trade business
segment in 2008 is estimated to improve owing to the Russian business
acquisition. Operating profit for 2008 in the Healthcare Trade
business is expected to fall from the previous year due to the
reported changes in principals in Finland. The merger in the Dental
Trade business is estimated to improve comparable operating profit
for 2008.
Oriola-KD's operating profit for 2008 inclusive of the additional
expenditure arising from strategic ventures and the acquisition in
Russia is anticipated to exceed that for the previous year.

CORPORATE ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition of Vitim & Co
and Moron Ltd
Oriola-KD announced in March that it would acquire 75 percent of
a Moscow-based pharmacy company (Vitim & Co) and of
a pharmaceutical wholesaler (Moron Ltd.)
The transaction was executed in April. In addition, Oriola-KD has
agreed
to buy out the remaining 25-percent holding in 2010 for a
consideration
based on the companies' performance in 2009. The additional purchase
price relating to the acquired 75-percent holding and the purchase of
the
remaining 25-percent holding are recognized as a liability,
the magnitude of which is based on the best estimate of management.
The acquisition cost is calculated on the basis of the companies'
provisional balance sheets as per 31 March 2008 prepared in
accordance
with IFRS and the Oriola-KD Group's accounting principles in respect
of
all material elements. The provisional balance sheets and acquisition
cost calculation are unaudited.
The acquisition is accounted for using provisional values as
permitted
under IFRS 3. Over the 12 months following the acquisition,
Oriola-KD will make the necessary adjustments to these provisional
values.
The balance sheets of the acquired companies have been consolidated
into
the Oriola-KD Group as of 1 April 2008 and the calculation below
includes
the acquisition of both companies.
