Outlook for 2013

  * Oriola-KD estimates that net sales and operating profit excluding non-
    recurring items will increase from the 2012 level. Pharmaceutical Trade
    Russia's operating profit is estimated to be lower than the 2012 level.

President and CEO Eero Hautaniemi's comments regarding the interim report:"Oriola-KD's net sales increased by 8.6 per cent to EUR 1,918.8 million and
operating profit excluding non-recurring items increased from EUR 16.4 million
to EUR 16.6 million in January-September 2013. Operating profit excluding non-
recurring items includes project costs totalling EUR 2.7 million recognised in
the first half of 2013 which relate to the transformation of the Swedish
pharmacy market.

Operating profit of the Finland and Baltics business increased from EUR 15.6
million to EUR 16.1 million in January-September 2013. The improvement was
mainly the result of more efficient operations in wholesale.

Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden's operating profit excluding non-recurring items
increased from EUR 11.6 million to EUR 17.7 million in January-September 2013.
Profitability improved in both operating segments. Integration of the Medstop
acquisition proceeded according to plan during the third quarter and the merger
of the legal companies of the pharmacy chains will be put into effect in the
last quarter. Our aim is to achieve full synergy benefits of EUR 8-10 million
annually from 2015 onwards. An efficiency programme was started in the Swedish
wholesale business in the third quarter. The aim is to achieve a significant
improvement in operating profit gradually from 2014 onwards.

Operating loss of Pharmaceutical Trade Russia increased from EUR 5.3 million to
EUR 8.8 million in January-September 2013. Positive performance in the Russian
retail business continued and our operations were profitable during the first
nine months of the year. Oriola-KD's operating profit for January-September
2013 was significantly weakened by the increase in the operating loss of the
Russian wholesale business. The delivery problems in the Moscow region which
occurred after the implementation of the warehouse management system were solved
by the end of the second quarter. During the third quarter, we have continued
intensively our efforts to gain customers in the Moscow region, where we
experienced a temporary drop in our market share as a result of the delivery
problems. We have has also continued our efforts to increase regional sales and
sales to hospitals. The project plan of the new main logistics centre in Moscow
was revised during the third quarter. As a result, the overall project estimate
grew from EUR 17 million to between EUR 25 and 28 million, of which investments
account for EUR 15.7 million compared with EUR 12.0 million in the original
plan. According to our project plan, operations will be gradually transferred to
the new facilities and full production capacity will be reached by the end of
the first quarter in 2015."

September 2013. The change does not have any impact on the Group's result for
the period.

Profit after financial items was EUR 1.5 (8.4) million and profit for the period
EUR 0.2 (5.0) million. Oriola-KD's financial expenses increased to EUR 9.1 (6.9)

EUR 0.00 (EUR 0.03).

Return on equity was 0.1 (2.2) per cent in January-September 2013.

benefits). The impact is explained under Revision of IAS 19 Employee benefits
standard.

July-September 2013

Net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics in the third quarter of
2013 were EUR 96.0 (108.7) million and operating profit was EUR 5.7 (6.1)
million. Invoicing of the Finnish wholesale business was EUR 244.7 (251.8)
million and net sales was EUR 75.8 (89.5) million. Net sales of the wholesale
business in the Baltic countries were EUR 9.9 (8.8) million and net sales of the
Consumer Health business were EUR 10.3 (10.6) million.

January-September 2013

Net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics in January-September 2013
were EUR 316.0 (342.2) million and the operating profit was EUR 16.1 (15.6)
million. Invoicing of the Finnish wholesale business was EUR 764.7 (770.0)
million and net sales were EUR 253.9 (283.1) million. Net sales of the wholesale
business in the Baltics totalled EUR 30.2 (26.0) million and net sales of the
Consumer Health business, i.e. consumer health products sold under Oriola-KD's
own brands or exclusive sales rights, totalled EUR 32.2 (33.4) million. More
efficient operations, increased sales of services and improved customer
profitability improved the profitability of the Finnish wholesale business.  As
expected, the discontinuation of the distribution of AstraZeneca's products by
Oriola-KD caused a drop in the net sales of the Finnish wholesale business
during the third quarter. A slowdown in the growth of the Finnish retail
business has led to a decrease in the net sales of the Consumer Health business
in relation to the comparison period. Despite a challenging market situation,
the Consumer Health business managed to improve its profitability during the
third quarter. Oriola-KD's business in the Baltics grew positively during the
period and the start of pharmaceutical distribution and marketing cooperation
with MSD proceeded as planned.

The Finnish pharmaceutical market grew by 2.1 (+2.5) per cent in January-
September 2013. The decrease in pharmaceutical reimbursements and the 5 per cent
cut in the wholesale prices of patented pharmaceuticals in February 2013 had a
negative impact on the growth of the pharmaceutical market in Finland. Oriola-
KD's share of the Finnish pharmaceutical wholesale market was 46.6 (47.2) per
cent in January-September 2013. (source: IMS Health)

Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics had 511 (476) employees at the end of
September 2013.

July-September 2013

Third-quarter net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden in 2013 were EUR 315.7
(254.1) million and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 8.6
(4.8) million. Net sales of the retail business totalled EUR 189.7 (126.9)
million. Invoicing of the wholesale business was EUR 361.0 (336.0) million and
net sales of the wholesale business were EUR 187.1 (140.8) million. The Medstop
acquisition boosted net sales of the retail business by EUR 60.8 million during
the third quarter.

January-September 2013

Net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden in January-September 2013 were EUR
893.9 (768.9) million and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR
17.7 (11.6) million. Profitability was strengthened in both operating segments.
Net sales of the retail business totalled EUR 476.8 (376.3) million. Invoicing
of the wholesale business totalled EUR 1,136.1 (1,016.0) million and net sales
of the wholesale business were EUR 569.4 (432.6) million. The Medstop pharmacy
chain has been consolidated in the figures of Oriola-KD as of 1 June 2013. The
acquisition of Medstop increased the net sales of the retail business by EUR
81.7 million. The start of the centralised purchasing, warehousing and pharmacy
distribution service of OTC products and traded goods to pharmacy chains has
supported to increase the net sales of the wholesale business.

Development of the product assortment on offer boosted the operating profit of
the retail business. At the end of September 2013, Oriola-KD had a total of 295
(216) pharmacies in Sweden, of which 228 (216) operated under the Kronans
Droghandel brand and 67 under the Medstop brand. Oriola-KD opened a total of
11(7) pharmacies in January-September 2013. A total of 22 (13) new pharmacies
were established on the Swedish pharmacy market during the period. In January-
September 2013, Oriola-KD had a market share of 21 (14) per cent according to
management estimate in the retail business.

Integration of the Medstop acquisition proceeded according to plan during the
third quarter and the merger of the legal companies of the pharmacy chains will
be put into effect during the last quarter. The acquisition is expected to
generate full synergy benefits of EUR 8-10 million annually from 2015 onwards.

Net sales and operating profit in the Swedish wholesale business improved as
planned during the third quarter as a result of the stabilization of the
centralised purchasing, warehousing and pharmacy distribution service of OTC
products and traded goods offered to pharmacy chains. The relative share of
parallel imports and generic pharmaceuticals has remained high on the Swedish
pharmaceutical market, which has decreased net sales and operating profit in the
wholesale business. An efficiency programme was started in the Swedish wholesale
business during the third quarter. The aim is to achieve a significant
improvement in operating profit from 2014 onwards. In January-September 2013
Oriola-KD's share of the pharmaceutical wholesale market was 41 (36) per cent
according to management estimate. Oriola-KD will cease the distribution of
Sanofi-Aventis products by the end of 2013. Sanofi-Aventis has a market share of
about 1.5 percent on the Swedish pharmaceutical market (source: IMS Health).

The pharmaceutical market in Sweden decreased by 2.1 (-1.6) per cent (source:
IMS Health), while the retail market for OTC products and traded goods increased
by 6.1 (+3.9) per cent (source: Nielsen) in January-September 2013.

Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden had 1,871 (1,314) employees at the end of September
2013, of whom 1,598 (1,055) were employed in the retail business and 273 (259)
in the wholesale business. The acquisition of Medstop increased the number of
personnel in the pharmaceutical retail business by 534.

July-September 2013

Net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Russia in the third quarter of 2013 were EUR
242.7 (223.3) million and operating profit was EUR -1.9 (-2.0) million. Net
sales of the retail business totalled EUR 31.7 (34.2) million and the sales of
the wholesale business were EUR 216.5 (194.3) million.

January-September 2013

Net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Russia in January-September 2013 totalled EUR
709.0 (655.8) million and operating profit was EUR -8.8 (-5.3) million. Net
sales of the retail business in Russia totalled EUR 106.9 (107.3) million and
net sales of the wholesale business were EUR 615.3 (565.9) million. Oriola-KD
booked EUR 0.4 million in accelerated depreciation from the current main
logistic centre in Moscow in January-September 2013.

Positive performance in the Russian retail business continued as a result of
more efficient operations and the development of the product assortment on
offer. The retail business posted a positive operating profit in January-
September 2013. At the end of September 2013, Oriola-KD had a total of 233 (237)
pharmacies in the Moscow region.

The growth of net sales in the wholesale business slowed down and the operating
loss increased as a result of the delivery problems in the Moscow region
following the implementation of the warehouse management system and as a result
of the challenging market conditions. The delivery problems in the Moscow region
were solved by the end of the second quarter. Intensive efforts to gain customer
were continued in the Moscow region during the third quarter where a temporary
drop in market share were experienced as a result of the delivery problems. In
addition efforts to increase regional sales and sales to hospitals were
continued.  The sales of the distribution centres located outside Moscow
increased by 49 per cent in Russian rubles in January-September 2013. A write-
down of trade receivables of EUR 0.5 (1.9) million was recognised during the
period.

In June 2013, Oriola-KD signed a lease agreement on a new main logistic centre
in the Moscow region. The project plan of the new main logistics centre was
revised during the third quarter. As a result, the overall project estimate grew
from EUR 17 million to between EUR 25 and 28 million. The total investment
increased from the previously announced EUR 12.0 million to EUR 15.7 million
including a distribution centre automation solution, warehouse machinery and
equipment. According to the project plan, operations will be gradually
transferred to the new facilities and full production capacity will be reached
by the end of the first quarter in 2015. As a result of the investment decision,
Oriola-KD will book a total of EUR 0.5 million in 2013 and in 2014 in
accelerated depreciation relating to the machinery in the current main logistics
centre.

The Russian pharmaceutical market grew during the review period by 12.5 (+9.7)
per cent in Russian rubles (source: IMS Health). Oriola-KD's retail business
grew by 4.4 (+9.2) per cent and the net sales growth in the wholesale business
was 13.9 (+30.6) per cent in Russian rubles in January-September 2013.

Pharmaceutical Trade Russia had 2,945 (3,032) employees at the end of September
2013, of whom 1,261 (1,316) were employed in the retail business and 1,684
(1,717) in the wholesale business.

Oriola-KD's goodwill of EUR 389.4 million has been allocated in impairment
testing to the cash-generating units consisting of the Group's operating
segments. Oriola-KD prepares goodwill impairment testing twice a year, in
accordance with the timetable of its strategy and planning process. At the end
of September, a total of EUR 243.4 million of the goodwill was allocated to the
Swedish pharmaceutical retail business, EUR 27.5 million to the Swedish
pharmaceutical wholesale business, EUR 79.4 million to the Russian
pharmaceutical wholesale business and EUR 39.1 million to the Russian
pharmaceutical retail business. The acquisition of Medstop increased the
goodwill allocated to the Swedish pharmaceutical retail business by EUR 128.8

147.8) million and interest-bearing net debt EUR 225.4 (59.2) million. The

consisted of the long-term bank loan raised for the acquisition of Medstop and
the conditional earn-out payment relating to the Medstop acquisition. Interest-
bearing short-term debt mainly consists of the use of the commercial paper
programme issued by Oriola-KD Corporation and advance payments by pharmacies in
Finland. Factoring programmes related to monthly trade receivables from Swedish
county councils and Apoteket AB were continued in the retail and wholesale
businesses in Sweden. By the end of September 2013, the sales of the trade
receivables totalled EUR 80.4 (49.4) million, including the EUR 10.3 million of
the receivables sales programme of the Medstop pharmacy chain acquired by
Oriola-KD.

Oriola-KD refinanced its existing financing solution by signing a new financing
agreement of approximately EUR 280 million with four banks in May 2013. The
financial covenants contained in the long-term financing agreement are based on
the ratio between Oriola-KD's net debt and rolling 12-month EBITDA and the
Group's gearing ratio. The ratio between the Group's net debt and the 12-month
rolling EBITDA, adjusted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
financing agreement, stood at 4.22 at the end of September while the covenant
limit according to the agreement was 4.50. Oriola-KD's committed long-term
credit facilities of EUR 120.0 million and EUR 43.1 million in short-term credit
account facilities with banks were unused at the end of September 2013. A total
of EUR 114.0 (101.5) million of the commercial paper programme was in use at the
end of the review period.

Net cash flow from operations in January-September 2013 was EUR -21.0 (-9.3)
million, of which changes in working capital accounted for EUR -35.2 (-14.9)
million. Net cash flow from investments was EUR -88.8 (-16.1) million.

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
    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 made 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 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 may affect Oriola-KD's ability to meet the financial covenants
contained in the financing agreement.

Outlook

Oriola-KD's outlook for 2013 is based on external market forecasts, agreements
with pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies, and management assessments. During
the next five years (2013-2017), the pharmaceutical market is expected to grow
on average 1.4 per cent annually in Finland, while the Swedish market is
forecasted to decline on average 1.3 per cent annually and the Russian
pharmaceutical market is expected to grow on average almost 10 per cent annually
(source: IMS Health Market Prognosis 2013-2017).



Outlook for 2013

Oriola-KD estimates that net sales and operating profit excluding non-recurring
items will increase from the 2012 level. Pharmaceutical Trade Russia's operating
profit is estimated to be lower than the 2012 level.

Events after the review period

The Board of Directors of Oriola-KD Corporation has investigated possibilities
for developing Oriola-KD's capital structure. In this context, Oriola-KD has
investigated the preconditions for combining the current two share classes of
Oriola-KD, as well as for strengthening Oriola-KD's balance sheet with equity
financing. The conducted investigations do not currently give rise to any
further measure. Based on its investigations, the Board of Directors estimates
that it could not secure the consent from the majority of shares in the share
class whose rights would be reduced even if the shareholders with multiple votes
would be offered a market-term premium in conjunction with the combination. On
the basis of its investigations the Board of Directors also estimates that
currently Oriola-KD could not secure commitments from the Oriola-KD's largest
shareholders to take part, for example, in a rights issue during the year 2013.

Next interim report

Oriola-KD Corporation will publish its financial statements release for 2013 on

Notes

Principal accounting policies as of 1 January 2013 (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 2012 annual financial
statements, excluding the standards and interpretation applied as of 1 January
2013 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 2012. The accounting policies of the 2012 and 2013 financial
years are comparable. The company has not discontinued any operations in 2012 or
2013 that it should report.

The same principles of calculation have been used for the indicators in this
interim report as for those of the annual financial statements.

The figures in the interim report have been rounded independently.

New amendments that have been applied since 1 January 2013:

  * Amendement  to  the  standard  IAS1  Presentation  of  Financial  Statements
    (effective in financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2013).
  * Amendment  to the standard IAS 12 Income Taxes (effective in financial years
    beginning on or after 1 January 2013).
  * Amendment  to the standard IAS 19R (revised) Employee Benefits (effective in
    financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2013).
  * IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (effective in financial years beginning on or
    after 1 January 2013).

The impact of the amendment of standard IAS 19 Employee benefits on the
consolidated result has been itemised below. The amendments of the other new
standards referred to above have had minor impact on the Group.

Two new indicators have been introduced in the second quarter of 2013: EBITDA
excluding non-recurring items and EBITDA. EBITDA excluding non-recurring items
is calculated as follows: operating profit excluding non-recurring items plus
depreciation and impairment excluding non-recurring items.  EBITDA is calculated
as follows: operating profit plus depreciation and impairment. The quarterly
indicator for return on investment (ROI) and return on equity (ROE) is
annualised as follows:  ((1+quarterly earnings)^4)-1).

The figures in this interim report are unaudited.

Amendment of the IAS 19 standard Employee benefits

The Oriola-KD Group has applied the standard IAS 19 Employee benefits as of 1
January 2013. The amendment impacts the Oriola-KD Group's pension costs and
result and the pension assets and obligations and equity on the balance sheet.
As a consequence of the amendment, the 2012 consolidated profit and loss account
and balance sheet have been updated as required by the revised standard.

The key amendments of the standards IAS 19R (revised) Employee benefits are that
all actuarial gains and losses must be recognised immediately in other
comprehensive income and that expected yield from assets no longer depends on
investment distribution. The discount rate used in the calculation of pension
debt is used as the expected yield of investments. The corridor method will no
longer be used and financing expenditure will be the sum of net interest rates.
The net interest rate is the difference between the interest rate costs of
pension debt and the interest rate income from assets. Despite the amendment,
the Group has decided to recognise the sum of net interest rate in personnel
expenses.

With the implementation of the revised standard IAS 19 Employee benefits, the
Oriola-KD Group's operating profit excluding non-recurring items, operating
profit and profit for the financial year 2012 and, on the balance sheet, the
pension assets and equity are smaller and pension obligation is larger than when
calculated in accordance with the standard in force up to 31 December 2012. The
impact of the implementation on consolidated operating profit excluding non-
recurring items and operating profit for 2012 is EUR 1.0 million. The impact on
Group equity on the 2012 opening balance sheet is EUR -4.8 million and EUR -4.4
million on the 31 December 2012 balance sheet due to the recognition of
actuarial gains and losses and their tax effect on equity on the consolidated
balance sheet. The following tables present a summary of the key figures
following the amendment of the accounting policy.

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.

ACQUIRED BUSINESSES 2013

Medstop pharmacy chain

Oriola-KD acquired the entire capital stock of Medstop Group Holding AB,
Sweden's fifth biggest pharmacy chain, on 3 June 2013. The Medstop pharmacy
chain had a total of 67 pharmacies located in shopping centres and city centre
locations in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö.  The business operations of the
pharmacy chain acquired by Oriola-KD only involve pharmaceutical retail business
and they are reported in the Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden segment.

The acquisition cost calculation is based on the company's preliminary balance
sheet on 31 May 2013, the essential parts of which have prepared in accordance
with the IFRS's accounting principles.

The acquisition has been entered in the books on a preliminary basis, as
permitted under IFRS 3R (revised). Oriola-KD will make the necessary adjustments
to these preliminary assessments during the 12 months following the acquisition
date.

The preliminary goodwill of the acquisition entered in the books is EUR 128.8
million. The euro-denominated goodwill is the value of Medstop's experienced
personnel, synergy benefits that can be achieved in purchasing operations,
storage and pharmacy distribution and growth expectations.  The goodwill entered
in the books is not tax-deductible.

The original acquisition cost calculation made in Swedish krona (SEK) has been
converted into euros on the basis of the exchange rate of 31 May 2013. The
results and balance sheet of Medstop have been consolidated into Oriola-KD as of
1 June 2013.

The table below provides a summary of the consideration paid for the pharmacy
chain and the fair values of the assets and liabilities entered in the books on
the acquisition date.

Acquisition-related costs are included in administrative expenses in the 2013
consolidated income statement.

The contingent consideration will be paid in the first quarter of 2016. Payment
of the contingent consideration is based on the estimate on Oriola-KD's combined
Swedish retail businesses 2015 EBITDA made by the management. The contingent
consideration has been booked in the balance sheet as financial liability
recognised at fair value through profit and loss and 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.

The estimated net sales of the Group in the period 1 January-30 September 2013
would have been EUR 2,027.8 million (reported EUR 1,918.8 million) and the
operating profit excluding non-recurring items EUR 22.1 million (reported EUR
16.6 million) if the acquisition had been made at the start of 2013.

The impact of the acquired business on the Group's net sales in the period 1
June - 30 September 2013 is EUR 81.7 (0.0) million and on the operating profit
excluding non-recurring items EUR 1.3 (0.0) million.

The following tables include certain illustrative unaudited financial
information of Oriola-KD and Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden assuming that the
acquisition had taken place 1 January, 2012.
The unaudited illustrative financial information have been derived from the
audited Oriola-KD financial statements for the period 1 January-31 December
2012, audited Medstop Group Holding AB financial statements for the period 1
January-31 December 2012 and from the unaudited Oriola-KD interim report 1
January-30 September 2013 and from Medstop Group Holding AB unaudited financial
