President and CEO Eero Hautaniemi: "Oriola-KD's focus is, in accordance with its
strategy, on pharmaceutical retail and wholesale in Northern Europe and Russia.
In 2010 we acquired a nation wide pharmacy chain in Sweden, the remaining
holding in the Russian pharmaceutical retail and wholesale companies and the 03
Apteka pharmacy chain in Russia, and sold the Healthcare Trade and Dental Trade
businesses. We recorded a profit of EUR 92 million from the sale of these
businesses. The net sales of Oriola-KD's continuing operations increased 23 per
cent to EUR 1.9 billion, and operating profit excluding one-off costs decreased
to EUR 22.5 million because of the very challenging market in Russia. Business
in Finland and Sweden developed positively."

Balance sheet, financing and cash flow

Balance sheet, financing and cash flow figures include the Healthcare Trade
business figures up to 31 May 2010, the Dental Trade business figures up to 28
October 2010 and also the profit from corporate divestments. The Swedish
pharmaceutical retail business has been consolidated with Oriola-KD's figures
since 19 February 2010, and the figures for the 03 Apteka pharmacy chain
acquired in Russia have been consolidated with Oriola-KD since 31 August 2010.

On 19 February 2010, Kronans Droghandel Retail AB completed the acquisition of
100 per cent of the share capital of a Swedish pharmacy company with 170
pharmacies nationwide. The price of the acquisition was EUR 161.5 million.
Oriola-KD holds an 80 per cent share of the Swedish pharmacy chain, while
Kooperativa Förbundet has a 20 per cent holding. Oriola-KD has the obligation
and right to acquire Kooperativa Förbundet's minority share after a long period
of cooperation. This obligation has been recognised in Oriola-KD's balance sheet
under interest-bearing long-term debt in conjunction with the acquisition of the
pharmacies.

On 24 February 2010, Oriola-KD acquired the remaining 25 per cent holding in
Oriola-KD Holding Russia Oy, which owns the pharmaceutical retail company (OOO
Vitim) and the pharmaceutical wholesale company (OOO Moron) operating in Russia.
The price of the 25 per cent holding was EUR 65.0 million. The total price of
this acquisition in Russia was EUR 153.7 million. On 31 August 2010, Oriola-KD
acquired a 100 per cent ownership in the 03 Apteka pharmacy chain, which
operates in the Moscow area, at a price of EUR 11.9 million.

The Healthcare Trade business was sold for approximately EUR 85 million to Mediq
N.V on 31 May 2010, and a profit of about EUR 54 million was entered for the
transaction in the second quarter of 2010. The Dental Trade business was sold
for some 69 million to Lifco AB on 28 October 2010, and a profit of some EUR 38
million from the transaction was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Oriola-KD's balance sheet total on 31 December 2010 stood at EUR 1,192.6 million
(EUR 923.1 million). Cash assets were EUR 187.8 million (EUR 133.7 million),
equity was EUR 352.7 million (EUR 254.2 million) and the equity ratio was 30.8
per cent (29.2 per cent).

Interest-bearing debt at the end of 2010 was EUR 178.3 million (EUR 149.7
million), interest-bearing net debt was EUR -9.5 million (EUR 16.0 million) and
the gearing ratio was -2.7 per cent (6.3 per cent). Oriola-KD has hedged the
interest rate risk on the long-term interest-bearing debt associated with the
Swedish pharmaceutical retail business. Interest-bearing debt consists of long-
term debt financing, use of the issued commercial paper programme, 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's committed long-term credit facilities of EUR 103.5 million and EUR
42.3 million in short-term credit account facilities with banks stood unused at
the end of the review period. A total of EUR 4.9 million of Oriola-KD's EUR
150.0 million commercial paper programme was in use. The terms of the financial
covenants were met with a wide margin at the end of 2010.

Net cash flow from operations in 2010 was EUR 88.7 million (EUR 100.9 million),
of which changes in working capital accounted for EUR 73.4 million (EUR 37.9
million). In the Swedish pharmaceutical wholesale business, the trade
receivables sales programme was continued during 2010.

Net cash flow from investments was EUR -104.7 million (EUR -28.0 million), which
includes the acquisition of the pharmacy chain in Sweden, the acquisition of the
25 per cent minority share in Russia, the acquisition of the 03 Apteka pharmacy
chain, operational investments, and the sale of Healthcare Trade business and
Dental Trade businesses. Cash flow after investments was EUR -16.0 million (EUR
72.9 million) in 2010.

Oriola-KD paid EUR 18.1 million in dividends for 2009, i.e. EUR 0.12 per share
(2008: EUR 0.08 per share) during the second quarter of 2010.

Investments

Gross investments for 2010 came to EUR 196.9 million (EUR 47.4 million). They
include the EUR 161.5 million acquisition of the pharmacy chain in Sweden, the
EUR 11.9 million acquisition of the 03 Apteka pharmacy chain and EUR 23.5
million in operational investments, mostly in the growth of pharmacy operations
and improving the efficiency of wholesale operations.

Personnel

(3,870) employees, 8 per cent (11 per cent) of whom worked in Finland, 27 per
cent (8 per cent) in Sweden, 63 per cent (78 per cent) in Russia and a total of
2 per cent (3 per cent) in the Baltic countries. The payroll grew as a result of
the acquisition of the pharmacy chain in Sweden, the establishment of new
pharmacies, the acquisition of the 03 Apteka pharmacy chain and the opening of
new regional logistics centres in Russia.

affairs, treasury, finance, IT administration, and corporate communications and
investor relations.

Henry Fogels, General Director of Oriola-KD's Pharmaceutical Retail business in
Russia was appointed, in addition to his current duties, to the position of
acting General Director of Oriola-KD's Pharmaceutical Wholesale business in

Business segments

In accordance with its organisational structure and internal reporting, Oriola-
KD's business segments are, as of 28 October 2010, Pharmaceutical Trade Finland,
Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden, Pharmaceutical Trade Russia and Pharmaceutical
Trade Baltics. As of the first quarter of 2011, the figures of Pharmaceutical
Trade Finland and Pharmaceutical Trade Baltics will be reported as one business
segment in line with Oriola-KD's organisation and internal reporting.

Pharmaceutical Trade Finland

Invoicing of Pharmaceutical Trade Finland in 2010 came to EUR 1,003.1 million
(EUR 1,019.7 million), net sales to EUR 417.4 million (EUR 505.1 million) and
operating profit to EUR 20.3 million (EUR 18.1 million). The decline of the
pharmaceutical market and changes made from stock owned by Oriola-KD to
consignment stock, as agreed with pharmaceutical companies, contributed to the
decline in net sales during the review period. Oriola-KD signed an extended
five-year agreement with Orion to distribute pharmaceuticals and food
supplements, which will enter force on 1 July 2011, and a new distribution
agreement with Eli Lilly, which entered into force on 1 January 2011. Wyeth's
products have not been distributed by Oriola-KD since the end of 2010. Orion
accounts for some 10 per cent of the value of pharmaceutical wholesaling in
Finland, Eli Lilly some 2 per cent and Wyeth some 2 per cent. (source: IMS
Health)

Fourth quarter invoicing came to EUR 257.0 million (EUR 266.2 million), net
sales to EUR 103.3 million (EUR 125.8 million) and operating profit to EUR 4.9
million (EUR 4.4 million).

The pharmaceutical market declined by 1.5 per cent (0.0 per cent) in Finland in
2010. Oriola-KD's market share in the Finnish pharmaceutical wholesale market
was 46.0 per cent (46.9 per cent) in 2010 (source: IMS Health)

At the end of 2010, 420 (418) people were employed by Pharmaceutical Trade
Finland. Oriola-KD's logistics centres are located in Espoo and Oulu.

Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden

Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden's net sales in 2010 were EUR 908.7 million (EUR
548.3 million), of which the retail business accounted for EUR 402.7 million
(EUR 0.0 million). The acquired pharmaceutical retail business has been
consolidated with Oriola-KD's figures as of 19 February 2010. The invoicing of
the wholesale business was EUR 1,239.1 million (EUR 1,113.9 million) and net
sales EUR 554.9 million (EUR 548.3 million). Oriola-KD signed a new distribution
agreement with Abbot, which enters into force in February 2011. Since October
2010, Oriola-KD no longer distributes MSD's products, and will no longer
distribute Meda's products from July 2011. Abbot's market share of the value of
Swedish wholesale pharmaceutical sales was some 3 per cent, MSD's some 3 per
cent and Meda's some 2 per cent.

Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden's operating profit in 2010 was EUR 12.5 million
(loss EUR 5.0 million). The costs associated with the preparations made for
pharmacy business in Sweden during 1 January to 19 February 2010 were EUR 2.2
million (EUR 11.7 million in 2009). The operating profit includes a write-off of
a EUR 1.7 million receivable in the third quarter relating to the bankruptcy of
a pharmaceutical company and a EUR 1.1 million provision in the fourth quarter
associated with the restructuring of the pharmaceutical wholesale operations. In
addition, planned depreciation of EUR 1.3 million was recognised for 2010 on the
fair value allocation of a retail trade acquisition.

The efficiency of the wholesale business will be improved by centralising
pharmacy distribution to the Enköping distribution centre and pharmaceutical
warehousing and pharma supplier cooperation to Mölnlycke. As a result, the
number of personnel will decrease by about 70 at Mölnlycke and increase by about
30 at Enköping in early 2011.

Fourth-quarter net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden came to EUR 246.8
million (EUR 159.3 million), of which retail accounted for EUR 120.3 million
(EUR 0.0 million). Wholesale invoicing was EUR 330.6 million (EUR 284.7 million)
and net sales EUR 140.8 million (EUR 159.3 million). Pharmaceutical Trade
Sweden's operating profit was EUR 3.3 million (operating loss EUR 2.2 million),
including EUR 1.1 million in one-off costs.

On 19 February 2010, Kronans Droghandel Retail AB completed the acquisition of
100 per cent of the share capital of a pharmacy company, with 170 pharmacies
nationwide, at a price of EUR 161.5 million. In 2009, the pro forma net sales of
the acquired pharmacy chain were SEK 4.6 billion (2008: SEK 4.4 billion) and pro
forma operating profit including average central overhead costs of Apoteket AB
was SEK 205 million (2008: SEK 183 million). On 30 September 2010, Kronans
Droghandel Retail AB merged with the newly acquired pharmacy company Kronans
Droghandel Apotek AB. At the end of 2010, Oriola-KD had 189 pharmacies in
Sweden. Oriola-KD's logistics centres are located in Mölnlycke and Enköping.

The Swedish pharmaceutical market grew by 1.1 per cent (2.4 per cent) in 2010.
Oriola-KD's market share in the Swedish wholesale market was 39.7 per cent (41.2
per cent) in 2010. Oriola-KD's market share in the Swedish pharmaceutical retail
market was some 14 per cent. (source: IMS Health)

Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden had 1,483 (306) employees in the end of 2010, of
whom 1,190 (0) were employed in retail and 293 (306) in wholesale.

Pharmaceutical Trade Russia

Pharmaceutical Trade Russia's net sales in 2010 were EUR 572.4 million (EUR
480.7 million), of which retail accounted for EUR 106.6 million (EUR 98.7
million) and wholesale EUR 518.4 million (EUR 439.2 million). The figures for
the 03 Apteka pharmacy chain acquired in Russia have been consolidated with
Oriola-KD's figures since 31 August 2010.

The operating loss was EUR 18.1 million (operating profit EUR 44.5 million). The
operating loss includes EUR 10.0 million in one-off costs: a write-off of a EUR
2.1 million trade receivable relating to the bankruptcy of a pharmaceutical
chain and a EUR 7.9 million stock value write-off due to an extremely tough
market environment. In Russia the amount and significance of purchase-related
discounts grew during 2010, and as a result Oriola-KD has made a stock write-off
by recognising purchase-related discounts in the stock value in the third
quarter. In addition, planned depreciation of EUR 1.0 million was recognised for
2010 on the fair value allocation of the acquisitions.

The ruble-denominated growth in the Russian pharmaceutical market was some 3 per
cent (approx. 20 per cent) in 2010. The slower than forecasted growth and the
pharmaceutical price regulation have led to very intense competition. Oriola-
KD's net sales increased by some 9 per cent (some 40 per cent) in Russian rubles
in 2010.

Fourth-quarter net sales came to EUR 169.6 million (EUR 148.2 million), of which
retail accounted for EUR 33.7 million (EUR 27.5 million) and wholesale EUR
148.9 million (EUR 136.8 million). Operating profit was EUR 0.1 million (EUR
21.6 million).

Oriola-KD acquired a 100 per cent holding in the Russian pharmaceutical retail
company OOO 03 Apteka on 31 August 2010. The chain had 70 pharmacies in the
Moscow area. The purchase price was EUR 11.9 million. The acquired company had
no interest-bearing debt. The pharmacy chain's net sales in 2009 were about EUR
40 million, and the operating profit was about 5 per cent of net sales. The
company employs about 350 people. At the end of 2010 Oriola-KD had 254 (175)
pharmacies in the Moscow area, of which 181 (175) operated under the Stary Lekar
brand and 73 under the 03 Apteka brand.

In addition to its main logistics centre in Moscow, Oriola-KD has eleven
regional logistics centres in Russia, of which the logistics centres in
Yekaterinburg and Novosibirsk were opened in September 2010.
In 2011, the operational focus will be on strengthening the organisation, retail
growth and improving wholesale efficiency.

Pharmaceutical Trade Russia had 3,381 (3,025) employees at the end of 2010, of
whom 1,734 (1,403) were employed in retail and 1,647 (1,622) in wholesale.

Pharmaceutical Trade Baltics' net sales in 2010 were EUR 31.3 million (EUR 35.7
million) and operating profit was EUR 1.1 million (EUR 0.9 million). Fourth-
quarter net sales came to EUR 8.3 million (EUR 10.3 million) and operating

Risks

The Board of Directors of Oriola-KD 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 regulation
  * 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 changes in the value
of the Russian ruble or the Swedish krona will have an impact on Oriola-KD's
financial performance and equity.

Goodwill and intangible rights are subject to annual impairment testing, which
may have a negative effect on Oriola-KD's financial performance.

Near-term risks and uncertainty factors

Intense competition and changes in the price control system for pharmaceuticals
have a material impact on Oriola-KD's near-term outlook in Russia. The
development of the Swedish pharmaceutical wholesale and retail markets are
subject to uncertainties, which may have a significant effect on Oriola-KD's
business in Sweden.

Decisions of the Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting of Oriola-KD Corporation, held on 7 April 2010,
confirmed the 2009 financial statements and discharged the Board members and the
President and CEO from liability for the financial year ending 31 December
2009. The Annual General Meeting resolved that the sum of EUR 0.12 per share be
paid as dividend on the basis of the balance sheet adopted for the financial
year ending 31 December 2009.

In accordance with the Board's proposal, the Board was authorised to decide on
the payment of an additional dividend from undistributed profits and/or
distribution of funds, in one or more batches, from the company's invested non-
restricted equity funds or both so that the amount of the additional dividend
and/or return of capital paid under the authorisation would not exceed EUR 0.05
per share. The authorisation will be in force until the next annual general
meeting.

The Annual General Meeting confirmed that the Board comprises eight members. Re-
elected as Board members were Harry Brade, Pauli Kulvik, Outi Raitasuo, Antti
Remes, Olli Riikkala, Jaakko Uotila and Mika Vidgrén, and Per Båtelson was
elected as a new member. Olli Riikkala was elected to continue as Chairman of
the Board. The Annual General Meeting confirmed that the Chairman of the Board
will receive EUR 48,400 in remuneration for his term of office, the Vice
Chairman EUR 30,250 and the other members of the Board EUR 24,200 each. Of the
annual fees, 60 per cent will be paid in cash and 40 per cent in company shares
in such a way that after the release of the company's interim report for the
first quarter of 2010, Oriola-KD Corporation class B shares would be acquired on
the market for Board members, and the cash portion of the annual fee will also
be paid. The Chairman of the Board will receive an attendance fee of EUR 800 for
each meeting, and the other Board members EUR 400 per meeting. Attendance fees
will also be paid in the same manner to members of any committees set up by the
Board of Directors or the company. The Chairman of the Board will also have a
company-paid phone. Travel expenses will be paid in accordance with the travel
policy of the company.

The Annual General Meeting re-elected PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy as auditor for
the company, with Heikki Lassila APA as principal auditor, for the 2010
financial year. The auditor will be remunerated according to invoice.

The Annual General Meeting resolved that article 12 of the Articles of
Association, on the time of the notice of general meeting, be amended.

The Board was authorised to decide on the purchase of Oriola-KD Corporation
class B shares in accordance with the Board's proposal. Pursuant to the
authorisation, the Board is authorised to decide on the purchase of no more than
fifteen million (15,000,000) of the company's own class B shares, corresponding
to approximately 9.92 per cent of the total number of company shares. The
authorisation can only be used in such a way that the company and its
subsidiaries together would hold no more than one tenth (1/10) of the total
number of company shares at any one time. The purchase authorisation would
remain in force no longer than eighteen (18) months following the decision of
the General Meeting. The authorisation repeals the Annual General Meeting's
decision of 16 April 2009 authorising the Board to decide on the purchase of
Oriola-KD Corporation class B shares.

The Board was authorised to decide on a share issue against payment in one or
more batches in accordance with the Board's proposal. The authorisation includes
the right to issue new class B shares or to assign class B shares held by the
company. The authorisation covers no more than thirty million (30,000,000) of
the company's class B shares in total, which corresponds to approximately 19.83
per cent of the total number of company shares. The authorisation granted to the
Board includes the right to deviate from the pre-emptive subscription right of
shareholders, provided that there are financial grounds considered important
from the company's perspective for such a deviation. The authorisation will
remain in force for eighteen (18) months following the decision of the General
Meeting. The authorisation cancels the share issue authorisations previously
received by the Board, with the exception of the authorisation granted to the
Board by the Annual General Meeting of 13 March 2007, under which the Board may
decide on arranging a directed bonus issue of no more than 650,000 class B
shares for the purpose of implementing the 2007-2009 share-based incentive
scheme for management.

The Board was also authorised to decide on granting Oriola-KD Corporation shares
to the company itself in one or more batches under a bonus issue, in accordance
with the Board's proposal. The maximum amount of the company's new class B
shares issued under this authorisation is 1,200,000, which was 0.79 per cent of
the company's total shares and 0.11 per cent of total votes. The purpose of the
authorisation is to allow the use of treasury shares as laid out below in the
new share-based incentive scheme for Oriola-KD key persons. The Board was also
authorised to issue class B shares in deviation from the pre-emptive
subscription rights of shareholders, in accordance with the Board's proposal.
The class B shares issued may be either new or treasury shares. The total amount
of shares under the authorisation is 1,200,000 class B shares. The share issue
may be a bonus issue. These shares represent approximately 0.79 per cent of the
total number of company shares and approximately 0.11 per cent of the total
number of votes. The Board may use this authorisation in the new 2010-2012
share-based incentive scheme for Oriola-KD key persons. The authorisations
remain in force for no more than four (4) years following the decision of the
General Meeting.

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 in Russia, measured in local currencies (source: IMS
Health). The Russian pharmaceutical market is expected to show growth below the
longer term trend in 2011 and the tough competition to continue. However, the
visibility in Russian pharmaceutical market development is still poor.
Competition in the Swedish retail market is expected to continue to be stiff as
a result of the deregulation.

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.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS DISCLOSURE

Acquisition of national pharmacy chain in Sweden (Pharmacy Company Sweden 2 AB)

Oriola-KD announced in November 2009 that it would acquire 100 per cent of the
shares of Pharmacy Company Sweden 2 AB, a national pharmacy cluster with 170
pharmacies. The transaction was executed as of 19 February 2010. The acquired
pharmacy business covers only retail activities. The transaction does not
include any contingent considerations. Entering the pharmaceutical retail
business in Sweden is an important part of Oriola-KD's strategy to expand the
operations from pharmaceutical wholesale to retail.
The business of the acquired pharmacy chain has been integrated into the
business of Kronans Droghandel Apotek AB, from which Oriola-KD owns 80 per cent.

The acquisition cost is calculated on the basis of the company's provisional
balance sheet as of 19 February 2010 prepared in accordance with IFRS and the
Oriola-KD Group's accounting principles in respect of all material elements.

The acquisition is accounted for using provisional values as permitted under
IFRS 3R (revised). Over the 12 months following the acquisition, Oriola-KD will
make necessary adjustments to these provisional values. The fair value of the
identifiable fixed assets was EUR 8.6 million and inventory EUR 22.4 million.
These figures are provisional figures and the values might be adjusted during Q1
2011.

The fair value of trade receivables and other receivables was EUR 50.9 million
and it does not include any material risk.

The initial purchase price allocation calculated in Swedish crowns has been
translated into euros by using the exchange rate of the acquisition date.

The income statement and the balance sheet of the acquired company has been
consolidated into the Oriola-KD Group from the acquisition date, i.e. 19
February 2010.
