President and CEO Eero Hautaniemi: "Oriola-KD's net sales for the second quarter
increased 10 per cent to EUR 536 million, and the operating loss excluding one-
off items and impairment charges was EUR 1 million. The profitability decreased
due to depressed profitability in the retail operations: Low gross margin caused
by fierce competition in Russia, and lower sales compared to 2010 and higher
than expected fixed costs mainly related to IT system implementation in Sweden.
Furthermore, during the second quarter we recognised an impairment charge of EUR
33 million in the value of intangible assets related to the Stary Lekar brand in
Russia due to the essential decline in the pricing power of the brand.

In the second half we will focus on improving our efficiency and profitability.
We will take in use the new information system in the Swedish retail business
during the third quarter, which will decrease our fixed costs starting from the
fourth quarter. We will also accelerate efficiency program in all pharmacies. In
Russian pharmaceutical retail, we will complete the integration of the Stary
Lekar and 03 Apteka pharmacy chains, close unprofitable pharmacies and implement
pricing changes in the retail business. In Russian wholesale, we will implement
a logistics efficiency program, increase regional sales and cut unprofitable
operations."

Financial performance

Oriola-KD's net sales in January-June 2011 were EUR 1,065.6 million (EUR 903.1
million) and operating loss was EUR 29.4 million (operating profit EUR 8.3
million). The operating loss includes an impairment charge of EUR 33.4 million
related to the value of the intangible assets of the Stary Lekar brand in
Russia. Operating profit excluding one-off items and impairment charges was EUR
4.0 million (Q1-2/2010: EUR 8.3 million). Profit after financial items was EUR
-33.4 million (EUR 5.9 million) and net result EUR -27.5 million (EUR 4.3
million). Earnings per share were EUR -0.18 (EUR 0.03).

Second-quarter net sales came to EUR 535.5 million (EUR 487.3 million) and
operating loss to EUR 34.4 million (EUR 6.9 million). The operating loss
includes an impairment charge of EUR 33.4 million related to the value of the
intangible assets of the Stary Lekar brand in Russia. Operating loss excluding
one-off items and impairment charge was EUR 1.0 million (Q2/2010: operating
profit EUR 6.9 million). Profit after financial items was EUR -36.5 million (EUR
5.4 million) and net result EUR -29.7 million (EUR 4.0 million). Earnings per
share in the second quarter were EUR -0.20 (EUR 0.03).

Oriola-KD's financial expenses in January-June 2011 were EUR 4.1 million (EUR
2.3 million). Taxes were EUR 5.9 million positive (EUR -1.6 million), mostly
owing to the change in deferred tax related to the brand write-off. Taxes
corresponding to the result for the January-June 2011 period are entered under
this figure.

Return on equity was -16.8 per cent (3.0 per cent) in January-June 2011.

Balance sheet, financing and cash flow

Oriola-KD's balance sheet total on 30 June 2011 stood at EUR 1,142.2 million
(EUR 1,173.2 million). Cash assets were EUR 106.2 million (EUR 148.1 million),
equity was EUR 301.3 million (EUR 325.9 million) and the equity ratio was 27.0
per cent (28.5 per cent).

During the second quarter of 2011, Oriola-KD recognised an impairment charge of
EUR 33.4 million in the value of intangible assets related to the Stary Lekar
brand in Russia. In the changed competitive environment the pricing power of
Stary Lekar brand has essentially declined.

Of Oriola-KD's group goodwill of EUR 267.5 million, EUR 131.8 million has been
allocated in impairment testing to the cash-generating unit of the Russian
retail and wholesale companies, EUR 109.2 million to the cash-generating unit of
the Swedish pharmaceutical retail business and EUR 26.5 million to the cash-
generating unit of the Swedish pharmaceutical wholesale business. Regardless of
a decline in long-term expectations Oriola-KD does not have a need for goodwill
write-offs based on the impairment tests conducted in July 2011.

Interest-bearing debt at the end of June 2011 was EUR 147.9 million (EUR 223.2
million), interest-bearing net debt was EUR 41.8 million (EUR 75.1 million) and
the gearing ratio was 13.9 per cent (23.0 per cent). Interest-bearing debt
consists of long-term debt financing, advance payments from pharmacies in
Finland and the estimated discounted value of the minority share of the Swedish
pharmacy company that Oriola-KD is obliged to acquire. Oriola-KD has hedged the
interest rate risk of long-term debt financing.

Oriola-KD's committed long-term credit facilities of EUR 102.7 million and EUR
41.8 million in short-term credit account facilities with banks stood unused at
the end of the review period.  Oriola-KD's EUR 150 million commercial paper
programme was not in use at the end of the review period. The terms of the
financial covenants were met with a wide margin at the end of June 2011.

Cash flow from operations in January-June 2011 was EUR -16.1 million (EUR 54.1
million), of which changes in working capital accounted for EUR -17.9 million
(EUR 33.6 million). In the Swedish pharmaceutical wholesale business the trade
receivables sales programme was continued during 2011.

Net cash flow from investments was EUR -10.2 million (EUR -153.3 million).
During the January-June 2011 period, cash flow after investments was EUR -26.3
million (EUR -99.2 million).

Investments

Gross investments for January-June 2011 came to EUR 13.6 million (EUR 185.7
million). They include operational investments mostly in establishing new
pharmacies, improving the efficiency of wholesale operations and information
systems.

On 30 June 2011, Oriola-KD had a payroll of 5,017 (4,333) employees, 11 per cent
(13 per cent) of whom worked in Finland and the Baltic countries, 26 per cent
(30 per cent) in Sweden, and 63 per cent (57 per cent) in Russia. Personnel
numbers include the members of staff in active employment.

Anne Kariniemi, Vice President, Logistics and Sourcing, and member of the Group
Management Team, resigned on 23 June 2011. Her duties were reorganised within
the present organisation.

Business segments

In accordance with its organisational structure and internal reporting, Oriola-
KD's business segments are, as of 1 January 2011, Pharmaceutical Trade Finland
and Baltics, Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden and Pharmaceutical Trade Russia.

Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics

Pharmaceutical Trade Finland's net sales in January-June 2011 were EUR 207.3
million (EUR 225.7 million) and its operating profit was EUR 10.3 million (EUR
9.9 million). The invoicing of pharmaceutical wholesale Finland in January-June
was EUR 485.5 was million (EUR 473.8 million) and net sales were EUR 167.0
million (EUR 188.8 million). Net sales of pharmaceutical wholesale Baltics were
EUR 17.2 million (EUR 15.6 million) and net sales of the Consumer Health
business, i.e. consumer health products sold under Oriola-KD's own or exclusive
sales rights, was EUR 23.3 million (EUR 21.5 million).

The net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics in the second quarter
of 2011 were EUR 104.8 million (EUR 113.1 million) and its operating profit was
EUR 4.7 million (EUR 5.2 million). Invoicing of pharmaceutical wholesale Finland
in the second quarter came to EUR 245.1 million (EUR 237.1 million) and net
sales to EUR 85.2 million (EUR 95.1 million). Net sales of pharmaceutical
wholesale Baltics were EUR 7.9 million (EUR 7.3 million), while net sales of the
Consumer Health business was EUR 11.8 million (EUR 10.8 million).

The Finnish pharmaceutical market grew by 0.8 per cent (-1.4 per cent) in
January-June 2011. Oriola-KD's market share in the Finnish pharmaceutical
wholesale market was 45.8 per cent (46.2 per cent) in January-June 2011 (source:
IMS Health).

Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics had 509 (565) employees at the end of
June 2011.

Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden

Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden's net sales in January-June 2011 were EUR 533.9
million (EUR 422.4 million) and its operating profit was EUR 4.2 million (EUR
4.2 million). The operating profit in 2010 included EUR 2.2 million in
preparation costs associated with the launch of pharmacy operations. Competition
in the pharmaceutical retail business in Sweden was stiff and the profitability
of business operations did not reach a satisfactory level. Invoicing of the
pharmaceutical wholesale business in Sweden was EUR 745.8 million (EUR 600.4
million) and net sales were EUR 317.5 million (EUR 276.5 million).  Net sales of
the pharmaceutical retail business in Sweden were EUR 246.3 million (EUR 166.3
million). The pharmaceutical retail business has been consolidated with the
Oriola-KD figures as of 19 February 2010.

Second quarter net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden came to EUR 268.6
million (EUR 241.4 million), of which retail accounted for EUR 122.7 million
(EUR 115.5 million). Wholesale invoicing was EUR 374.3 million (EUR 310.4
million) and net sales EUR 161.1 million (EUR 140.3 million). Pharmaceutical
Trade Sweden's operating profit was EUR 1.9 million (EUR 5.6 million). In the
pharmaceutical retail business, the operating profit was weakened by a decrease
in comparable sales in Swedish Crowns from the previous year as a result of
stiff competition, as well as by fixed costs that were higher than expected and
mainly due to the implementation of an information system.

The aim is to bring the new information system into use during the third
quarter, which will decrease fixed costs in the retail business starting from
the last quarter. Moreover, after the implementation of the information system,
the efficiency program in all pharmacies will be accelerated.

The Swedish pharmaceutical market grew by 4.1 per cent (0.4 per cent) in
January-June 2011. Oriola-KD's market share in the Swedish pharmaceutical
wholesale market was 39.5 per cent (40.4 per cent) and in the retail market
about 13.1 per cent (13.7 per cent) in January-June 2011 (source: IMS Health).

Oriola-KD had a total of 199 (173) pharmacies in Sweden at the end of June
2011.

Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden had 1,305 (1,299) employees at the end of June
2011, of whom 1,064 (997) were employed in retail and 241 (302) in wholesale.

Pharmaceutical Trade Russia

Pharmaceutical Trade Russia's net sales in January-June 2011 were EUR 324.6
million (EUR 255.0 million) and operating loss was EUR 40.7 million (EUR 2.5
million). Operating loss excluding one-off items and impairment charges was EUR
7.4 million (EUR 2.5 million). In Russia, fierce competition decreased the gross
margin in the retail business. In the changed competitive environment the
pricing power of the Stary Lekar brand has essentially declined. During the
second quarter of 2011, Oriola-KD recognised an impairment charge of EUR 33.4
million in the value of intangible assets related to the Stary Lekar brand in
Russia. The net sales of pharmaceutical wholesale in Russia were EUR 280.3
million (EUR 231.9 million) and of retail EUR 65.1 million (EUR 47.5 million).
The figures for the 03 Apteka pharmacy chain have been consolidated with Oriola-
KD's figures as of 31 August 2010.

In the Pharmaceutical Trade Russia, the second-quarter net sales came to EUR
162.2 million (EUR 132.8 million), of which retail accounted for EUR 31.8
million (EUR 23.9 million) and wholesale EUR 140.9 million (EUR 121.3 million).
Operating loss excluding one-off items and impairment charges was EUR 5.7
million (EUR 2.0 million).

The Russian rouble-denominated growth in the commercial pharmaceutical market in
Russia was 6.8 per cent (10.0 per cent) in January-June 2011 (source:
Pharmexpert). Oriola-KD's net sales increased by 28 per cent (8 per cent) in
Russian Roubles in January-June 2011.

At the end of June 2011, Oriola-KD had 262 (181) pharmacies in the Moscow area,
of which 189 (181) operated under the Stary Lekar brand and 73 under the 03
Apteka name. In addition to the main logistics centre in Moscow, there are
twelve regional logistics centres.

Pharmaceutical Trade Russia had 3,202 (2,469) employees at the end of June
2011, of whom 1,613 (1,124) were employed in retail and 1,589 (1,345) in
wholesale.

In the second half of 2011, the operational focus will be on strengthening the
wholesale organisation and improving retail and wholesale efficiency. In the
pharmaceutical retail, the integration of Stary Lekar and 03 Apteka pharmacy
chains will be completed, unprofitable pharmacies will be closed and pricing
changes will be implemented in the retail business. In the wholesale, a
logistics efficiency program will be carried out, regional sales will be
increased and unprofitable operations will be cut.

At the end of 2011, the company had a total of 151,257,828 shares (151,257,828),

The Board of Directors of Oriola-KD has specified the earnings criteria for the
share incentive scheme for the Group's key personnel for the years 2010-2012,
stating that any payment for the 2011 earnings period will be based on Oriola-
KD's earnings per share (EPS) and return on equity (ROE). No payment was made
for the 2010 earnings period in the share incentive scheme for 2010-2012.

Risks

Oriola-KD's Board of Directors has approved the company's risk management policy
in which the risk management operating model, principles, responsibilities and
reporting are specified. The Group's risk management seeks to identify, measure
and manage risks that may threaten Oriola-KD's operations and the achievement of
goals set. The roles and responsibilities relating to risk management have been
determined in the Group.

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

Oriola-KD has identified the following principal strategic and operational risks
in its business:

  * growth in number of pharmacies outperforms growth in the market, leading to
    intense competition
  * competition for market share in pharmaceutical wholesale in a consolidating
    market
  * ensuring cost efficiency, flexibility and quality
  * development of processes and infrastructure required by strategic expansion

  * requirements and restrictions on pharmaceutical retail and wholesale imposed
    by the authorities, especially price control
  * commitment of key employees.


The major financial risks for Oriola-KD involve currency exchange rates,
liquidity, interest rates and credit. Expansion of operations into new business
areas and new markets has increased the financial risks. Currency risks are the
most significant financial risks in Russia and Sweden, as any changes in the
value of the Russian rouble or the Swedish krona will have an impact on Oriola-
KD's financial performance and equity.

Goodwill and intangible rights are subject to impairment testing made at least
once a year. Changes in cash flow forecasts based on strategic plans, or in the
discount rate or perpetuity growth rate, can cause a goodwill write-off, which
would weaken Oriola-KD's result. Especially the impairment test of the goodwill
of the Russian cash-generating unit is more sensitive than before to changes in
the discount rate or cash-flow forecasts.

Near-term risks and uncertainty factors

The tight competition has a material impact on Oriola-KD's retail and wholesale
near-term outlook in Russia. The number of new pharmacies to be established and
the implementation of the information system will have an effect on the
profitability of Oriola-KD's business in Sweden.

Decisions of the Annual General Meeting 2011

The Annual General Meeting held on 6 April 2011 adopted the financial statements
and discharged the members of the Board of Directors and the President and CEO

The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to decide on repurchasing of up to
fifteen million (15,000,000) of the company's own class B shares, which

The AGM also authorised the Board of Directors to decide on a share issue
against payment in one or more issues, including the right to issue new class B
shares or assign class B treasury shares held by the company. The authorisation
covers a combined maximum of fifteen million (15,000,000) class B shares of the
company, representing currently approximately 9.92 per cent of all shares in the
company. The authorisation given to the Board of Directors includes the right to
derogate from the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription right. The
authorisation is in effect for a period of eighteen (18) months from the
decision of the AGM.

Decisions of the constitutive meeting of the Board of Directors

determined that all members of the Board of Directors are independent of the
company and its significant shareholders.

Events after the review period

Oriola-KD revised its outlook for the future on 19 July 2011.

Outlook

Oriola-KD's outlook for 2011 is based on external market forecasts, supplier and
customer agreements and management assessments. In the period 2011-2014, the
pharmaceutical market is expected to grow by some 3 per cent in Finland, 2-3 per
cent in Sweden, and 11-13 per cent in Russia, measured in local currencies
(source: IMS Health). Growth in the Russian pharmaceutical market in 2011 is
expected to be lower than the longer term trend and the tough competition is
expected to continue. The visibility in Russian pharmaceutical market
development continues to be poor. Competition in the Swedish retail market is
expected to continue to be stiff as a result of the deregulation.


Outlook issued on 28 April 2011 concerning net sales and operating profit

Oriola-KD's net sales is expected to be higher and operating profit from
continuing operations excluding one-off items clearly better than in 2010.

Outlook issued on 19 July 2011 concerning net sales and operating profit

Oriola-KD's net sales are expected to increase over 10 per cent in 2011 compared
to the previous year. Operating profit excluding one-off items and impairment
charges is expected to exceed EUR 20 million in 2011.
