Outlook for 2014

Oriola-KD estimates that net sales and operating profit excluding non-recurring
items will decrease from 2013 level.

Oriola-KD revised its guidance announced in interim report 24 July, 2014 with
stock exchange release on 10 October, 2014.

President and CEO Eero Hautaniemi's comments regarding the interim report:

"Profitability improved in both operating segments in Pharmaceutical Trade
Sweden. Third quarter operating profit percentage excluding non-recurring items
for Swedish retail business was 5.5 (3.8) per cent. The Swedish wholesale
business' profitability was strengthened by the increased volume of the business
as well as the efficiency programme that was started in the third quarter of
2013.

In Finland we strengthened the product portfolio of our online shop by reaching
a co-operation agreement with Orion Corporation. Orion's traded goods products
were transferred over to Oriolashop.fi product portfolio as of the beginning of
September.

Russian retail business developed according to our plan despite of the
challenging market conditions. Weak development of the Russian wholesale
business contributed negatively to Oriola-KD's net sales and operating profit
during the first three quarters. Operating profit of the Russian wholesale
business was poor and the operating segment's profitability was clearly behind
the goals set regardless of slightly improved September net sales. Continued
intense competition and planned change in business model contributed negatively
to Russian wholesale business profitability. Further to measures to improve the
performance of the Russian wholesale business we have nominated a financial
advisor to investigate the conditions for selling the Company's Russia
businesses. We will continue the ongoing initiatives to develop Company's
Russian businesses."

Apotek brand, during the first three quarters. At the end of September 2014,

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:

  * Amendments to pharmaceutical market regulations may weaken Oriola-KD's net
    sales and profitability.
  * In the Swedish retail business, the free establishment of pharmacies has led
    to an increase in the number of pharmacies. The number of pharmacies may
    continue to grow, which could further increase the fierce competition.
  * Extra capacity ensuing from a change in the Swedish wholesale market will
    intensify competition, which may weaken the profitability of operations. The
    share of single channel distribution in the pharmaceutical wholesale market
    may decline rapidly, which may weaken the profitability of operations and
    lead to the restructuring of wholesale operations.
  * Changes in share of parallel imports in Swedish pharmaceutical market may
    affect profitability of the Swedish wholesale and retail businesses.
  * In the Russian retail business, tough competition resulting from the
    increasing number of pharmacies and potential consolidation of the pharmacy
    market may lead to a further decrease in the gross margin and a rapid
    turnover rate of key personnel.
  * As a result of the tough competition in the Russian wholesale business, the
    gross margin may decline further, which will lead to a continued need to
    intensify operations and restructure wholesale operations over the long
    term. The payment behaviour that is typical to the Russian market, combined
    with the regional expansion of operations may increase credit risks.
  * Strategic development projects involve operational risks.

The main financial risks for Oriola-KD involve currency rate, liquidity,
interest rate and credit risks. Currency risks are the most significant
financial risks in Russia and Sweden, as any changes in the value of the Russian
ruble and the Swedish krona will have an impact on Oriola-KD's net sales,
earnings and equity.

Oriola-KD prepares goodwill impairment testing twice a year, in accordance with
the timetable of its strategy and planning process. 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.

Near-term risks and uncertainty factors

A slowing down in the economic growth of Russia as well as the continuing
weakening of the external value of the Russian ruble may have an effect of the
net sales and profitability of the Oriola-KD Russian businesses in 2014. A
decrease in gross margin resulting from intense competition, weak development of
the operations and relationship to Pharmaceutical principles and an increase in
credit risks concerning customers may have a negative impact on the
profitability of the wholesale business in Russia.

Oriola-KD's strategic development projects in the Russian wholesale business and
the operations in Sweden involve operational risks which may have an effect on
Oriola-KD's profitability.

Oriola-KD's long-term financing agreement contains financial covenants
concerning the ratio between Oriola-KD's net debt and rolling 12-month EBITDA
and the group's gearing ratio. Weakening profitability of Oriola-KD's business
operations may affect Oriola-KD's ability to meet the financial covenants
contained in the financing agreement.

Outlook

Oriola-KD's outlook for 2014 is based on external market forecasts, agreements
with pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies, and management assessments. During

Principal accounting policies as of 1 January 2014 (IFRS)

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IFRS standards (IAS
34). The accounting policies and calculation methods applied in the interim
report are the same as those in the 31 December 2013 annual financial
statements, excluding the standards and interpretation applied as of 1 January
2014 and presented below. However, the interim report does not include all of
the information and notes present in the annual financial statements.
Consequently, the interim report should be read with the company's financial
statements for 2013. The accounting policies of the 2013 and 2014 financial
years are comparable. The company has no discontinued operations in 2013 or
2014 that it should report.


The calculation principles of key figures in this interim report are the same as
for the annual financial statements, except for the calculation of earnings per
share (EPS) whereby the profit attributable to equity owners of the parent has
been adjusted with the unpaid hybrid loan interest.

The presentation of consolidated statement of comprehensive income has been
changed from the "function of expense" method to the "nature of expense" method.
The comparable figures have been revised to correspond with the current
presentation.

The figures in the interim report have been rounded independently.

New standards or amendments to the existing ones that have been applied as of 1
January 2014:

  * IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
  * IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements
  * IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
  * IAS 27 (revised in 2011) Separate Financial Statements
  * IAS 28 (revised in 2011) Investments in Associates

The new standards have not had a material impact on the Group's financial
position.

On 20 February 2014 Oriola-KD issued a hybrid bond, classified as equity.
Interest on the hybrid bond is paid in accordance with a decision made by the
Board of Directors. Unpaid interest is accrued and reported on the balance sheet
upon the interest payment decision. Unpaid interest is taken into consideration

Impairment loss in relation to Russian pharmaceutical wholesale operating
segment

Following a revised business plan developed by the new Russian pharmaceutical
wholesale operational management, the Group assessed the recoverable amount of
the Russian pharmaceutical wholesale operating segment during the second quarter
of 2014.  Based on the business plan, the growth in future net sales and
profitability are expected to be below those of the earlier plans. The Group's
revised outlook on the growth of Russian pharmaceutical wholesale operations is
consistent with the weakening view of external information sources regarding the
future development of the Russian markets.

Based on the assessment, the carrying amount of the cash generating unit was
determined to be higher than its recoverable amount and an impairment loss of
EUR 77.2 million was recognised. The impairment charge consists of goodwill EUR
70.2 million, intangible assets EUR 0.9 million and deferred tax assets EUR 6.1
million. After the impairment no goodwill is allocated to the Russian wholesale
business. The impairment charge is included within "depreciation and
impairments" and "income taxes" in the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income.

The recoverable amount of the cash generating unit was based on value in use and
was determined on the basis of discounted cash flows (DCF-model). The cash flow
forecasts are based on five-year strategic plans approved by the management,
which are consistent with the current business structure. The cash flows of
2020-2024 are based on the assumption that the net sales growth percentage and
the operating profit percentage will gradually normalise at the level of
terminal growth. Value in use was determined similarly to the 31 December 2013
goodwill impairment test.

The key parameters applied in the value-in-use calculation of the Russian
pharmaceutical wholesale (31 December 2013) were as follows:

  * Post-tax discount rate 11.8 (10.1) per cent
  * Operating profit 0.2 (0.8) per cent. Operating profit percentage in the
    value-in-use calculation is the average operating profit percentage over a
    ten year period.
  * Terminal growth 2.0 (1.0) per cent. Terminal growth rate is applied from the
    beginning of year 2025.
  * Net sales growth 5.0 (8.4) per cent. Net sales growth rate is the average
    growth rate over a ten-year period.

hedging of group's internal transactions. Fair values of the derivatives have
been booked to balance sheet in gross amount as the derivatives contracts are
related to credit events and cannot be netted in financial statements. The group
has not given nor received collateral to/from derivatives counterparties.
