Outlook for 2014

Oriola-KD estimates that net sales and operating profit excluding non-recurring items will increase compared to 2013 actual.

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

"The Group's operating profit was positively supported by improved profitability from both segments in Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden. After closing the acquisition of Medstop in June 2013 we have since established ourselves as one of the main players in the Swedish pharmacy market. After the opening of a new pharmacy in March, we now have 300 pharmacies, in total, operating under the Kronans Apotek brand. Kronans Apotek's market share in the Swedish pharmacy market is at the moment approximately 21 per cent according to the company's estimate. The Swedish wholesale business' profitability was strengthened by the efficiency programme that was started in the third quarter of 2013. 

Russia's weakening economy and continued intense competition contributed negatively to our Russian businesses' net sales and profitability during the first quarter. Despite the efficiency measures already undertaken, the Russian wholesale business, in particular, was clearly behind the goals set. The continued slowdown in Russian economic growth weakened the purchasing power of the consumers and this negatively affected the Russian retail business' net sales and profitability during the first quarter. As a part of the profitability improvement actions initiated in 2013 in Russia, principal agreements which are either commercially unprofitable or unfavourable for Oriola-KD have been re-negotiated. The restructuring initiatives affecting the Russian businesses during the first quarter will lead to the reduction of approximately 230 employees, corresponding to approximately EUR 2.5 million cost savings starting from 2015.

The investment project for the new distribution centre in Moscow is progressing as planned. Transfer of the operations is scheduled to begin in the last quarter in 2014. Full production capacity will be reached by the end of the first quarter in 2015.

We have issued a EUR 40 million hybrid bond in 20 February 2014 in order to strengthen Oriola-KD's balance sheet."

On 19 December 2012, Oriola-KD Corporation's Board of Directors decided on a new share incentive scheme for the Group's senior management for the years 2013-2015. The scheme covers seven 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 2014 earning period is based on the Oriola-KD Group's earnings per share (EPS). The rewards to be paid on the basis of the performance period 2014 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 720,000 Oriola-KD Corporation class B shares (also including the proportion to be paid in cash) have been allocated to the current participants.

The Board of Oriola-KD Corporation approved the terms and conditions of the key employees' share savings plan on 28 May 2013. A total of about 50 key employees are participating in the plan. The savings period will start on 1 October 2013 and end on 30 September 2014. The maximum and minimum monthly savings amount to 10 and 2 per cent, respectively, of each participant's fixed gross monthly salary. The accumulated savings will be used for purchasing Oriola-KD's class B shares for the participants at market prices. About two years after the start of the programme, the company will give the participants two class B shares for every three shares purchased as part of the programme. The shares given to the participants will be partially used for paying taxes.

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.In the Russian retail business, tough competition resulting from the large number of pharmacies may lead to a further decrease in the gross margin and a rapid turnover rate of key personnel.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. 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 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. The impairment test on the goodwill of the cash-generating wholesale unit in Russia is particularly sensitive to changes in the discount rate or cash-flow forecasts.

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 and an increase in credit risks concerning customers may have an 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 many 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 the five-year period from 2014-2018, the Finnish pharmaceutical market is expected to grow at an annual rate of 1.9 per cent and decline an average of 0.2 per cent in Sweden per year while the Russian pharmaceutical market is expected to grow by an average of almost 8.1 per cent annually in the local currencies (source: IMS Health Prognosis 2014-2018).

Outlook for 2014

Oriola-KD estimates that net sales and operating profit excluding non-recurring items will increase compared to 2013 actual.

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 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 in the calculation of earnings per share. 

Reporting segment results reported to Oriola-KD management exclude the management fee. Segment information for 2013 has been revised to correspond with the current presentation.

The figures in this interim review are unaudited.

The fair value of the contingent consideration has been calculated using discounted cash flow method. The discount rate used in the valuation is determined using the weighted average cost of capital of the Group.
