BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

In its Economic Survey of 17 September 2012, the Ministry of Finance forecast
GDP growth of 1.0% for 2012. 

In media monitored by TNS Media Intelligence, advertising decreased by 5.7% in
September and 3.7% in January-September compared to the corresponding period
last year. In January-September, advertising in traditional newspapers fell by
8.2%. 

NET SALES AND PROFIT PERFORMANCE

The Group's consolidated net sales for January-September showed a 7.3% decline.
Net sales came to EUR 34.3 million (EUR 37.0 million in the corresponding
period of the previous year). External net sales from the publishing business
fell by 6.1%. Advertising revenues fell by 11.6%, whereas circulation revenues
grew by 0.6%, contrary to the general industry trend. The decrease in net sales
from the publishing business was caused by a weaker advertising market and the
income from parliamentary election advertisements included in the comparative
figure for 2011. External net sales from the printing business fell by 14.9%
due to the decline in volumes. Circulation income accounted for 43% of
consolidated net sales, while advertising income and printing income
represented 45% and 12%, respectively. 

For Q3, net sales decreased by 7.4% and totalled EUR 10.8 million (EUR 11.6
million). External net sales from the publishing business fell by 6.8%.
Advertising revenues fell by 15.3%, and circulation revenues grew by 2.7%.
External net sales from the printing business decreased by 12.2%. Circulation
income accounted for 47% of consolidated net sales in July-September, while
advertising income and printing income represented 42% and 11%, respectively. 

Other operating income in January-September totalled EUR 0.3 million (EUR 0.3
million) and in July-September EUR 0.1 million (EUR 0.1 million). 

Operating expenses for January-September amounted to EUR 30.3 million (EUR 30.5
million), down by 0.7% year on year. For July-September, operating expenses
amounted to EUR 9.5 million (EUR 9.5 million). For January-September, expenses
arising from materials and services decreased by 4.8%. Personnel expenses
increased by 2.8% and other operating costs increased by 1%. Depreciation
contracted by 3.8%. 

The share of the associated companies' result for January-September was EUR 5.4
million (EUR 8.2 million). This share was affected by non-recurring expense
items recorded in Alma Media's results (EUR 6.1 million) as well as changes in
the fair value of a conditional purchase price provision arising from the
corporate restructuring of Arena Partners Oy. Consolidated operating profit
amounted to EUR 9.7 million (EUR 15.0 million), down by 35.2 per cent
year-on-year. The Group's operating margin was 28.3 per cent (40.5%). Operating
profit excluding Alma Media Corporation and the other associated companies
amounted to EUR 4.3 million (EUR 6.8 million), representing 12.6% (18.4%) of
net sales. Operating profit from publishing fell by EUR 2.2 million, and
operating profit from printing fell by EUR 0.4 million. 

For July-September, the share of the associated companies' result was EUR 2.4
million (EUR 3.6 million). Consolidated operating profit amounted to EUR 3.8
million (EUR 5.8 million). Operating profit decreased 35.7% from the
corresponding period. The Group's operating margin was 34.8% (50.2%) in
July-September. Operating profit excluding Alma Media Corporation and the other
associated companies amounted to EUR 1.4 million (EUR 2.3 million),
representing 13.0% (19.3%) of net sales. For the third quarter, operating
profit from publishing fell by EUR 0.8 million, and operating profit from
printing fell by EUR 0.2 million. 

Net financial expenses for January-September amounted to EUR 2.1 million (EUR
2.9 million). Net gain/loss on shares held for trading was EUR -0.2 million
(EUR -0.9 million). Interest expenses excluding the fair value change in
derivatives hedging them totalled EUR 1.7 million (EUR 1.9 million). In order
to hedge against interest rate risk, in 2010 the company transformed some of
its floating-rate liabilities into fixed-rate liabilities, by means of interest
rate swaps. Given that the Group does not apply hedge accounting, unrealised
changes in the market value of the interest rate swaps are recognised through
profit or loss. In January-September 2012, the market value of these interest
rate swaps fell by EUR 0.9 million (EUR 1.0 million in January-September 2011). 

Net financial expenses for July-September amounted to EUR 0.7 million (EUR 2.5
million). Net gain/loss on shares held for trading was EUR 0.1 million (EUR
-0.5 million). For Q3, interest expenses excluding the fair value change in
derivatives hedging them totalled EUR 0.5 million (EUR 0.6 million).  In
July-September 2012, the market value of interest rate swaps fell by EUR 0.2
million (EUR 1.4 million in July-September 2011). 

Pre-tax profits for January-September totalled EUR 7.6 million (EUR 12.1
million). Direct taxes amounted to EUR 0.4 million (EUR 0.8 million), and the
Group's net profit for the period totalled EUR 7.2 million (EUR 11.3 million).
The Group's net profit for the third quarter totalled EUR 2.9 million (EUR 3.4
million). 

BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCING

The consolidated balance sheet total came to EUR 185.9 million (EUR 193.7
million), with EUR 101.5 million (EUR 102.9 million) of equity. On the
reporting date of 30 September 2012, the balance sheet value of the holding in
the associated company Alma Media Corporation was EUR 149.3 million and the
market value of the shares was EUR 109.3 million. According to the management's
estimate, write-down in this holding is unnecessary. 

Interest-bearing liabilities totalled EUR 71.3 million (EUR 77.5 million). The
equity ratio was 55.9 per cent (54.3%), and shareholders' equity per share
stood at EUR 3.96 (EUR 4.01). The decrease in financial assets for the period
totalled EUR 8.5 million (in January-September 2011, the increase in financial
assets EUR 2.1 million), with liquid assets at the end of the period totalling
EUR 2.4 million (EUR 5.2 million). During the period under review, accelerated
repayments of interest-bearing loans amounted to EUR 4.1 million, of which EUR
2.0 million were repayments of the TyEL loan for 2013-2015 (TyEL = the
Employees' Pensions Act). 

Cash flow from operations for the period came to EUR 7.0 million (EUR 24.1
million). This includes EUR -2.0 million (EUR 8.4 million) from the Group's own
operations as well as EUR 9.0 million (EUR 15.7 million) of dividend income
from Alma Media Corporation. Due to VAT changes, subscription fees for the
Group's regional newspapers for 2012 were exceptionally invoiced in December
2011. Consequently, cash flow from the Group's own operations fell in
January-September 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Cash flow from
investments totalled EUR -0.2 million (EUR -3.5 million). 

SHARE PERFORMANCE

The Series I shares of Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj were listed on the Helsinki Stock
Exchange in 1981 and have remained listed ever since. The Series II shares have
been listed since their issue in 1988, and on 10 June 2002 they were
transferred from the I List of the Helsinki Stock Exchange to the Main List. At
present, the Series II shares of Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj are listed on the NASDAQ OMX
Helsinki List, in the Consumer Services sector, the company's market value
being classified as Mid Cap. The Series I shares are listed on the Pre List. 

In January-September, 28,934 series-I shares of Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj were traded,
accounting for 0.7 per cent of the total number of series-I shares. The total
value of the shares traded was EUR 0.2 million. In total, 598,457 series-II
shares were traded, corresponding to 2.8 per cent of the total number of series
II shares. The total value of the shares traded was EUR 3.8 million. The lowest
price at which series-I shares of Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj were traded during the
period under review was EUR 6.77, and the highest per-share price was EUR
11.29. The lowest price at which series-II shares were traded was EUR 5.21 and
the highest EUR 7.67. The market value of the share capital at the closing rate
for the reporting period was EUR 145.6 million. 

RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

In the current economic climate, major uncertainties are associated with the
predictability of both net sales and operating profit. Ilkka-Yhtymä's most
significant short-term risks are related to the development of media
advertising as well as circulation and printing volumes, which apply to the
entire sector. Other business risks are discussed in more detail in the 2011
Annual Report. 

The Group's major financial risks include credit risk, the risk associated with
the price of shares held for trading, liquidity risk and the risk of changes in
market interest rates applied to the loan portfolio. In order to hedge against
interest rate risk, on 21 December 2010 the company transformed some of its
floating-rate liabilities to a fixed rate, by means of interest rate swaps.
Given that the Group does not apply hedge accounting, changes in the market
value of the interest rate swap are recognised through profit and loss. Other
financial risks are discussed in more detail in the 2011 Annual Report. 

PERSONNEL

During the period under review, the Group employed approximately 339 (345)
persons. 

On 1 August 2012, Satu Takala (Master of Arts) assumed her position as Chief
Editor of provincial paper Ilkka. Takala was previously Managing Editor of the
shared editorial unit of Ilkka and Pohjalainen. 

Retirement arrangements will be implemented for eight people within the Group.
The cost savings from these arrangements will be realised in full after the
first quarter of 2013. 

NEWSPAPER DISTRIBUTION

I-Mediat Oy has signed a three-year follow-up agreement with Itella Posti Oy
for the deliveries of subscription newspapers and the development of
distribution. In addition, the deliveries of free sheets published by I-Mediat
Oy will be transferred to Itella Posti Oy from 1 January 2013. 

NORDIC ECOLABEL AWARDED TO I-PRINT OY'S PRODUCTION

Ilkka-Yhtymä's printing house I-print Oy has been awarded Nordic Ecolabel
certification for its printing operations. The Nordic Ecolabel assures
customers that the printing house's production processes meet strict
environmental criteria for the use of materials and energy and waste treatment.
The ecolabel also shows our strong commitment to responsible environmental
activities. 

ILKKA AND POHJALAINEN TO BEGIN EDITORIAL COLLABORATION WITH ALMA REGIONAL MEDIA

Ilkka-Yhtymä's provincial newspapers Ilkka and Pohjalainen and Alma Media's
regional and local newspaper division Alma Regional Media will initiate
extensive operational collaboration on content and development. Ilkka-Yhtymä's
publishing company I-Mediat Oy and Alma Media Kustannus Oy (Alma Media
Publishing Ltd) signed a letter of intent for the collaboration on 30 August
2012. 

The collaboration aims at improving the editorial quality of the newspapers,
increasing operational efficiency, accelerating the implementation of
development measures and developing editorial reciprocity among the papers. The
collaboration will be launched in stages, and will be fully effective from the
beginning of 2014. The collaboration agreement does not include any issues
related to the ownership of Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj and Alma Media Corporation. 

The future collaboration will cover the Helsinki-based editorial unit producing
nationwide journalism, weekend pages and supplements, radio and TV journalism,
utility journalism, world news, and cultural, sports and online journalism. The
agreement also includes large-scale collaboration on training and development
activities, covering journalism as well as the product development of both
printed papers and online services. 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

On 19 April 2012, the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj approved
the financial statements, discharged the members of the Supervisory Board and
the Board of Directors and the Managing Director from liability and decided
that a per-share dividend of EUR 0.40 be paid for the year 2011. 

The number of members on the Supervisory Board for 2012 was confirmed to be 25.
Of the Supervisory Board members whose term had come to an end, the following
were re-elected for the term ending in 2016: Vesa-Pekka Kangaskorpi
(Jyväskylä), Jarmo Rinta-Jouppi (Seinäjoki), Kimmo Simberg (Seinäjoki) and
Jyrki Viitala (Seinäjoki). Timo Mäkinen (Seinäjoki) was elected to the
Supervisory Board to replace an employee representative who resigned from her
position during the term of office. Mäkinen's term will end in 2013. 

At the Annual General Meeting it was decided to maintain the payments made to
the Chairman of the Supervisory Board and the board members at their current
level: the Chairman will receive a retainer of EUR 1,500 per month and a fee of
EUR 400 per meeting, and the board members will be paid a fee of EUR 400 per
meeting attended. The board members' travel expenses are reimbursed in
accordance with the current maximum level specified by the tax authorities. 

Ernst & Young Oy, Authorised Public Accountants, was elected as the auditor,
with Authorised Public Accountant Tomi Englund as the principal auditor. It was
decided that the auditors would be reimbursed per the invoice. 

The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to decide upon a donation to be put
toward charitable causes or similar, totalling, at maximum, EUR 50,000, as well
as to decide upon the recipients, purposes of use, schedules and other terms of
these donations. 

On 7 May 2012, the Supervisory Board re-elected Timo Aukia, whose term had come
to an end, to the Board of Directors of Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj. Lasse Hautala will
continue as chairman of the Supervisory Board, while Perttu Rinta will continue
as vice-chairman. At its membership meeting, the Board of Directors re-elected
Seppo Paatelainen as its chairman, while Timo Aukia will continue as
vice-chairman. 



OUTLOOK FOR 2012

In the current economic climate, major uncertainties are associated with the
predictability of both net sales and operating profit. Media advertising is
forecast to contract in Finland. Due to consumer caution, VAT on circulation
revenues and media competition, newspapers' circulation revenues are predicted
to decrease. Printing business volumes have declined permanently in Finland and
the prospects for growth in the sector are weak. 

The net sales of Ilkka-Yhtymä Group will decrease from the 2011 level.

Group operating profit from Ilkka-Yhtymä's own operations, and operating profit
as a percentage of net sales, excluding the share of Alma Media's and other
associated companies' results, will decrease from the 2011 level mainly due to
decline in net sales. In addition, the year's results will depend on
interest-rate trends and the price performance of securities investments. 

The associated company Alma Media Corporation (Group ownership 29.79%) will
have a significant impact on Group operating profit and profit.
