Outlook for 2016

Oriola-KD estimates its full-year net sales to remain at the 2015 level on
constant currency basis. Adjusted Operating profit is estimated to remain at
2015 level or to increase, on a constant currency basis. Full-year net sales in
2015 were EUR 1,626 million and Operating profit excluding non-recurring items
was EUR 60.8 million.

Adjusted Operating profit excludes gains or losses from the sale or
discontinuation of business operations or assets, gains or losses from
restructuring business operations, and impairment losses of goodwill and other
non-current assets, or other income or expenses arising from rare events.

President and CEO Eero Hautaniemi's comments regarding the financial statements
release:

Year 2015 was  successful  and we managed to grow the volumes especially in the
wholesale business despite of the slow growth in the market.

We were able to further increase  the margin of OTC medicines and the sales and
margin of traded goods in the Swedish retail business. Operating profit  in
euros remained at the level of previous year, due to above all price cuts in the
generics and unfavourable development of the Swedish Krona. The combined effect
resulted in a significant decline in parallel imports from the previous year.

The business volume in the Swedish wholesale increased significantly which also
resulted in an improved profitability compared to previous year. In Finland we
renewed important, multi-annual pharmaceutical company agreements and improved
our efficiency. As a result of a successful rights-issue and strong cash flow
our balance sheet strengthened significantly.

We renewed our strategy and operating model in the second half of the year 2015
and signed an agreement to acquire Svensk dos, a Swedish company specialising in
dose dispensing of pharmaceuticals.

Changes in the Group Structure in January-December 2015

The following subsidiary mergers have been completed during the final quarter of
2015 in order to simplify Oriola-KD Group structure: SIA Rigas Elizabetes
aptieka merged into SIA Panpharmacy, Aloiro AB merged into Oriola Oy, Oriola-KD
Holding Sverige AB merged into Oriola-KD Holding Oy after which Oriola-KD
Holding Oy merged into Oriola-KD Oyj.

Oriola-KD agreed on 2 December 2015 to acquire the shares in Svensk dos AB.
Svensk dos is a Swedish pharmacy company specialised in dose dispensing of
pharmaceuticals. In 2014, the net sales of Svensk dos were approximately EUR 25
million and estimated market share was 13 per cent. Svensk dos has approximately
60 employees and is based in Uppsala.

The Group's net sales and result for October-December 2015

Oriola-KD's final quarter net sales were EUR 420.9 (417.7) million. Operating
profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 15.3 (15.1) million, operating
profit was EUR 17.3 (22.1) million. In the final quarter of 2015 a non-recurring
income of EUR 2.3 million was recognised due to a revaluation of the contingent
consideration for Medstop acquisition. In the fourth quarter of 2014 the central
warehouse property in Mölnlycke, Sweden was sold and leased back, and a non-
recurring gain of EUR 7.5 million was recognised on the sale.

Profit after financial items was EUR 15.6 (20.3) million and profit for the
period was EUR 12.4 (18.0) million. Oriola-KD's net financial expenses were EUR
1.7 (1.8) million. Earnings per share were EUR 0.07 (0.11).

The Group's net sales and result for January-December 2015

Oriola-KD's net sales increased by 0.9 (decreased by 0.5) per cent to EUR
1,626.3 (1,612.3) million and operating profit excluding non-recurring items
increased by 3.0 (59.5) per cent to EUR 60.8 (59.1) million. Operating profit
was EUR 62.6 (65.0) million. Operating profit in 2015 increased due to a non-
recurring revaluation of the contingent consideration for Medstop acquisition of
EUR 3.4 million and in 2014 due to afore mentioned non-recurring gain of EUR
7.5 million.

The depreciation of the Swedish Krona from the corresponding period negatively
affected the euro denominated operating profit by approximately EUR 1.2 million.

Profit after financial items was EUR 56.1 (57.1) million and profit for the
period was EUR 44.5 (46.5) million.  Oriola-KD's net financial expenses were EUR
6.5 (7.8) million. Income taxes were 11.5 (10.7) which corresponds to effective
tax rate of 20.6 (18.7) per cent. Earnings per share for the full year were EUR
0.25 (0.28).

On 25 September 2015 Oriola-KD decided to transfer the management of its Finnish
companies' statutory occupational pensions and associated pension portfolio from
Oriola Pension Fund to Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company and
supplementary pension benefits and the associated pension portfolio to OP Life
Assurance Company Ltd. The transfer took place on 31 December 2015.


Reportable segments

Oriola-KD's reportable segments are Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden and
Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics. Oriola-KD has formed its reportable
segments by combining its operating segments. The Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden
reporting segment comprises the Swedish pharmaceutical retail and Swedish
pharmaceutical wholesale operating segments. The Pharmaceutical Trade Finland
and Baltics reporting segment comprises the Finnish pharmaceutical wholesale
business, the Consumer Health and the Pharmaceutical Trade Baltics operating
segments.

In December 2014 Oriola-KD sold its Russian businesses and as a result
classifies the Pharmaceutical Trade Russia reportable segment as discontinued
operations.

(10.2) million and operating profit was EUR 11.6 (17.7) million.  In the fourth

leased back, and a non-recurring gain of EUR 7.5 million was recognised on the

Retail business net sales were EUR 193.0 (187.9) million. Operating profit
excluding non-recurring items for the retail business was EUR 7.6 (7.7) million
and operating profit was EUR 7.6 (7.7) million. The operating profit was
negatively affected by the opening of two new pharmacies and increased discounts
in traded goods campaigns. The net sales of the wholesale business totalled EUR
195.3 (191.2) million. Operating profit excluding non-recurring items for the
wholesale business was EUR 4.0 (2.5) million and operating profit was EUR 4.0
(10.0) million. Operating profit strengthened in the final quarter due to
increase in business volume.

January-December 2015

The pharmaceutical market in Sweden grew by 6.7 (4.2) per cent (source: IMS
Health) and the retail market for OTC products and traded goods grew by 7.1
(4.0) per cent (source: Apoteksföreningen) in 2015. Parallel imports' share of
the Swedish pharmaceutical market was 11 (17) per cent (source: IMS Health).

Invoicing, indicating the business volume of the Oriola-KD Pharmaceutical Trade
Sweden, grew from the previous year by 10.3 (4.5) per cent in Swedish Krona.
Retail volume grew by 4.4 (17.8) per cent and wholesale by 11.9 (6.4) per cent,
in Swedish Krona. Oriola-KD's market share of the pharmaceutical retail market
in 2015 was 19 (19) per cent (source: Apoteksföreningen) and the share of the
Swedish pharmaceutical wholesale market was approximately 39 (36) per cent
(Oriola-KD estimate). Number of pharmacies in Sweden increased by 29 pharmacies
in 2015 and at the end of December 2015 there were 1,358 pharmacies in Sweden.
At the end of the reporting period Oriola-KD had a total of 309 (304) pharmacies
in Sweden.

The net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden in 2015 increased by 1.2 (decreased
by 1.5) per cent to EUR 1,190.1 (1,176.4) million, and on a constant currency
basis, net sales increased by 4.0 (3.6) per cent. Retail business net sales were
EUR 752.8 (744.2) million and wholesale business net sales totalled EUR 769.3
(761.2) million. On a constant currency basis retail business net sales
increased by 4.0 (16.9) per cent and wholesale business net sales increased by
3.9 (7.7) per cent.

The Swedish retail business' EBITDA excluding non-recurring items in 2015 was
EUR 50.2 (49.4) million and EBITDA was EUR 50.2 (48.4) million in 2015. The
EBITDA percentage excluding non-recurring items and the group management fee for
the retail business was 6.9 (6.9) per cent. The wholesale business' EBITDA
excluding non-recurring items was EUR 14.3 (12.8) million and EBITDA was EUR
14.3 (20.3) million.

Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden's operating profit excluding non-recurring items
increased by 5.6 (82.6) per cent to EUR 46.4 (44.0) million. On a constant
currency basis operating profit excluding non-recurring items increased by 8.6
(92.1) per cent. Operating profit was EUR 46.4 (50.5) million. Operating profit
excluding non-recurring items for the Swedish retail business totalled EUR 33.9
(33.8) million and operating profit was EUR 33.9 (32.8) million. Operating
profit excluding non-recurring items for the Swedish wholesale business was EUR
12.6 (10.4) million and operating profit was EUR 12.6 (17.9) million.

Profitability of the Swedish retail business was supported by increased sales of
traded goods and good cost control. Operating profit was negatively affected by
significant decrease of parallel import from the corresponding period and price
cuts set by Swedish authorities in fourth quarter of 2014 and in second quarter
of 2015. Weak seasonal sales in the summer led into increased competition and
campaign discounts in retail trade. Increased sales of the new expensive
prescription medicine with low margins negatively affected the relative
profitability of the Swedish retail business. The relative share of OTC and
traded goods from the net sales was 26 (27) per cent. Oriola-KD opened web shop
in Sweden in the third quarter. The product assortment of the web shop
represents the entire Kronans Apotek's product assortment. In 2015 five new
pharmacies were opened of which two were new care & beauty concept stores.

Positive development of the Swedish wholesale business was supported by the new
agreements with pharmaceutical companies signed in 2014, increased efficiency
and improved profitability in logistic services for retail.

EUR 5.1 (4.9) million and operating profit was EUR 5.1 (4.4) million.

January-December 2015

The Finnish pharmaceutical market grew by 3.3 (4.7) per cent in 2015 (source:
IMS Express). Oriola-KD's share of the Finnish pharmaceutical wholesale market
was 46 (46) per cent (source: ATY).

increased from previous year by 5.3 (decreased 0.7) per cent to EUR 1,069.8
(1,015.7) million. The net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics
increased by 0.1 (2.5) per cent to EUR 436.4 (435.9) million. Operating profit
excluding non-recurring items increased by 4.4 (4.3) per cent to EUR 20.5 (19.6)
million. Operating profit increased by 1.8 (1.9) per cent to EUR 19.5 (19.2)
million. In 2015 Oriola-KD recognised EUR 0.9 (-) million non-recurring items

In Finnish wholesale business Oriola-KD renewed long term cooperation agreements
among others with Orion, MSD and Orifarm in 2015. Positive development of
invoicing was supported by an increase in sales of the key pharmaceutical
companies in the Finnish wholesale business. Service sales to the pharmaceutical
companies continued to grow in Finnish wholesale business. The sales of
Oriolashop.fi increased but profitability of Consumer Health business decreased
from the corresponding period due to increased discounts given as a result of
continued tight competitive environment.

events. Gains or losses from the sale or discontinuation of business operations
or assets, gains or losses from restructuring business operations, and
impairment losses of goodwill and other non-current assets are recognised by
Oriola-KD as non-recurring items. In addition, changes in estimates regarding
the realisation of contingent consideration arising from business acquisitions

On 19 December 2012, Oriola-KD Corporation's Board of Directors decided on a
share incentive scheme for the Group's senior management for the years
2013-2015. The scheme covers six persons. The company's Board of Directors will
determine the earnings criteria for the earning period and the targets to be set
for these at the start of each earning period. The bonus for the 2015 earning
period is based on the Oriola-KD Group's earnings per share (EPS) calculated
from the earnings excluding non-recurring items and taxes. The rewards to be
paid on the basis of the performance period 2015 will correspond to the value of
a maximum total of 1,010,000 Oriola-KD Corporation class B shares (also
including the proportion to be paid in cash), of which approximately 625,500
Oriola-KD Corporation class B shares (also including the proportion to be paid
in cash) have been allocated to the current participants.

On 4 December 2015 the Board of Directors of Oriola-KD Corporation resolved to
establish a new share-based incentive plan directed to the Group key personnel
(the Plan). Approximately 20 key persons, including the members of the Group
Management Team, participate in the Plan. The Plan includes three performance
periods, calendar years 2016, 2017 and 2018, and three vesting periods, calendar
years 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. The Board of Directors of the Company
will resolve on the Plan's performance criteria and on the required performance
level for each criterion at the beginning of a performance period.

The prerequisite for participation in the Plan and for receipt of reward on the
basis of the Plan is that a key person has enrolled in the OKShares and makes
the monthly saving from his or her fixed gross monthly salary, in accordance
with the Rules of the OKShares in force. The aim is also to harmonize the
Company's incentive plans into a One-Platform Plan where the Company's Key
Personnel Share Savings Plan (the OKShares) and Long-Term Incentive Plan are
combined.

The potential reward of from the performance period 2016 will be based on the
Group's Earnings per Share (EPS). The rewards to be paid on the basis of the
performance period 2016 correspond to the value of an approximate maximum total
of 800,000 Oriola-KD Corporation Class B shares (including also the proportion
to be paid in cash). The potential reward will be paid partly in Oriola-KD
Corporation Class B shares and partly in cash in 2018. The cash proportion is
intended to cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward to a key
person.

The member of the Group Management Team must hold 50 per cent of the net shares
given on the basis of the entire Plan, until his or her shareholding in the
Company in total equals the value of his or her gross annual salary. Such number
of shares must be held as long as the key person holds a position as a Group
Management Team member.

On 28 May 2013 the Board of Directors of Oriola-KD Corporation decided to launch
a key personnel share savings plan. A total of 34 key employees participated in
the plan during a savings period 1 October 2013 - 30 September 2014. A total of
39 key employees participated in the plan during a savings period 1 October
2014 - 30 September 2015.  For both savings plans the maximum and minimum
monthly savings amounted to 10 and 2 per cent, respectively, of each
participant's fixed gross monthly salary.

On 18 June 2015 the Board of Directors of Oriola-KD Corporation decided to
launch a new savings period 2015-2016. This savings period begun on 1 October
2015 and will end on 31 December 2016. The maximum monthly saving is 8.3 percent
and the minimum is 2 percent of each participant's fixed monthly gross salary.
During the final quarter in 2015, a total of about 50 key employees participate
in the plan.


The accumulated savings will be used for purchasing Oriola-KD's class B shares
for the participants at market prices. In return, each participant will receive
two free class B matching shares for every three acquired savings shares.
Matching shares will be delivered to a participant if the participant holds the
acquired shares from the savings period until the end of the designated holding
period and the employment has not terminated by the last day of the holding
period.  Matching shares will be paid partly in Oriola-KD's class B shares and
partly in cash. The cash proportion is intended for covering taxes and tax-
related payments arising from the reward to a key person.

During 2015, in total 24,314 company's class B shares were granted under the
savings period 2013 - 2014. The savings of plan 2014-2015 correspond to
approximately 48,600 savings shares and 32,400 matching shares estimated at the
share price level of the year end.

Oriola-KD Corporation has an agreement with a third-party service provider
concerning administration of the share-based incentive program. At the end of
the reporting period, the amount of treasury shares held by the third-party
service provider was 27,202 (42,930).

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, pricing of pharmaceuticals
    and reimbursements 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.
  * Strategic development projects involve operational risks.

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

Oriola-KD prepares goodwill impairment testing annually, 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

Oriola-KD's strategic development projects involve operational risks which may
have an effect on Oriola-KD's profitability.

Outlook

Oriola-KD's outlook for 2016 is based on external market forecasts, agreements
with pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies, and management assessments. The
Finnish pharmaceutical market is expected to grow during 2015-2019,  at an
annual rate of 1-4 per cent and  Swedish pharmaceutical market is expected to
grow an annual rate  of 2-5 per cent per year in the local currencies (source:
IMS Health).

Outlook for 2016

Oriola-KD estimates its full-year net sales to remain at the 2015 level on
constant currency basis. Adjusted Operating profit is estimated to remain at

Strategy and Operational Model

Board of Directors approved the company's updated strategy, new operating model
and new long-term financial targets. Oriola-KD's operations will be divided into

2016. Comparable financial information 2015 in the new structure will be

investments will be realised during 2016 - 2018.
