Oriola Corporation’s third quarter result impacted by distribution disruptions in Finland


Oriola Corporation Stock Exchange Release 12 October 2017 at 4.45 pm.

Oriola Corporation’s third quarter result impacted by distribution disruptions
in Finland

The implementation of the new ERP and warehouse management system in Finland in
the beginning of September met unexpected difficulties, resulting in disruptions
in the Finnish distribution. The operation experienced lower efficiency and
unplanned disruptions in picking and delivery. Oriola lost approximately EUR 4
million of net sales as non-pharmaceutical products were released into
distribution only partly in September. The impact of the lost sales, and the
additional costs of resourcing extra working shifts and ensuring the
availability of critical medicines to pharmacies, hospitals and veterinarians
lowered the third quarter adjusted EBIT of the Services segment by EUR 5
million.

The continued system ramp-up will require additional resourcing, and continue to
burden also the fourth quarter result.

Oriola Corporation will publish its Interim report 1 January- 30 September 2017
on Wednesday, 25 October 2017 at approximately 8.30 a.m.
