Alma Media Corporation Interim Report July 22, 2010 at 9:00am (EEST)
ALMA MEDIA CORPORATION'S INTERIM REPORT FOR APRIL-JUNE 2010:
NET SALES AT COMPARISON PERIOD LEVEL, OPERATING PROFIT SLIGHTLY DOWN
April-June 2010 in brief:
- Net sales MEUR 78.7 (79.3) declined 0.7% (-11.2%). Comparable net sales
exceeded that of the comparison period by MEUR 1.6 or 2.1%.
- Operating profit MEUR 10.9 (11.9), 13.8% (15.1%) of net sales, operating
profit without one-time items was MEUR 11.3 (12.2), declined 7.5%.
- Profit before taxes MEUR 11.0 (11.5), profit before taxes without one-time
items MEUR 11.4 (11.8).
- Financial result for the period MEUR 7.8 (8.3), declined 5.2% (-29.9%).
- Earnings per share EUR 0.10 (0.11).
Outlook for 2010:
- Alma Media estimates its comparable net sales to increase moderately from the
2009 level as a result of gradual growth in media advertising. Comparable
operating profit is expected to remain close to the previous year's level.
Kai Telanne, President and CEO:
No significant change for the better took place in the media advertising market
in the second quarter even though the market picked up somewhat toward the
summer. During the first six months of the year, the newspaper advertising
market shrunk by 0.3% from the comparison period. Online advertising continued
to grow strongly, by 25.3%.
The advertising sales of Alma Media's Newspapers segment grew only a little from
the comparison period figures despite the good sales results of Aamulehti and
Lapin Kansa. The circulation net sales of Newspapers decreased only slightly
from the previous year's level thanks to price increases. The advertising sales
of the Kauppalehti group picked up clearly. The net sales of the Marketplaces
segment continued to grow during the second quarter as home sales and
recruitment advertising increased.
In the second quarter, online advertising sales developed positively from the
comparison period. Growth was particularly strong in Kauppalehti.fi and
Iltalehti.fi, as well as Etuovi.com and Monster.fi. The share of online business
grew to 16.1% of Alma Media's net sales.
The company's second-quarter operating profit fell slightly behind that of the
comparison period due to net sales growth being slower than targeted, as well as
an increase in total costs. Total costs were pushed up by an increase in
personnel costs, due to salary agreements, and an IT expense of MEUR 0.3
recorded during the second quarter but partly concerning earlier periods.
The company's ongoing development projects, such as the preparations for the
printing facility investment in Tampere, the formation of the printing and
distribution unit into a new company, Alma Manu Oy, and the product and service
reforms progressed as planned. Alma Media and Arena Partners Oy, a newspaper
development company operating in Central Finland, started cooperation in the
nationwide marketplace business. The competition authority approved the
arrangement on July 14, 2010.

CHANGES IN GROUP STRUCTURE APRIL-JUNE 2010
The business operations of Tyrvään Sanomat Oy were transferred to Suomen
Paikallissanomat Oy, part of the Alma Media Group, in April 2010. The deal
comprised two local papers, Tyrvään Sanomat and Paikallissanomat, as well as the
business operations of the advertising agency Idea-Mainos.
Alma Media's ownership in Kotikokki.net Oy rose from 40% to 65% in June, after
which this company will be reported as a subsidiary company under the Newspapers
segment in the consolidated financial statements.
In connection with the centralisation of the delivery and printing organisation
a new subsidiary Kiinteistö Oy Uusi Paino Oy was founded.
On March 29, 2010, Alma Media announced a restructuring measure concerning the
Marketplaces segment. According to the plan, Alma Media Corporation and thebusiness development company Arena Partners Oy, owned jointly by newspaper
publishers operating in Central Finland, will start cooperation in the national
marketplaces business. The cooperation will involve Arena Partners buying a 35%
share of the Alma Media subsidiary operating in the home sales, vehicle and
consumer advertising marketplace businesses. Simultaneously, Alma Media will
purchase a 35% share of Arena Interactive, a subsidiary of Arena Partners. The
competition authority approved the arrangement on July 14, 2010.
OUTLOOK FOR 2010
Alma Media expects the single-copy sales of afternoon papers to continue their
decline. The circulations of regional and local papers are expected to decline
moderately. The circulation of Kauppalehti is expected to remain at the present
level or decline slightly. Advertising in newspapers is expected to grow
moderately in 2010 in comparison with the previous year. Online advertising is
expected to clearly increase from the previous year.
Alma Media expects its comparable net sales to increase moderately from the
2009 level as a result of gradual growth in media advertising. Operating profit
is expected to remain close to the previous year's level.
MARKET CONDITIONS
The Finnish GNP continued to shrink during the first quarter in 2010. As the
previous quarter's growth figure was also preceded by a minus sign, the Finnish
economy is technically still in a recession. Estimates for the Finnish GNP
growth in 2010 vary widely. Estimates published during the second quarter
predict GNP growth of 0 to 2.7% in 2010. According to preliminary information by
Statistics Finland, the output of the Finnish national economy grew by 2.9% in
April 2010.
In the first quarter of 2010, the total volume of advertising increased by
0.7%. In the first quarter, advertising decreased 1.5% in newspapers and
increased 17.7% in online media from the comparison period. In the second
quarter, total advertising volume increased 4.5%. Advertising in newspapers
continued to decline, now -0.2%, and increased 32.9% in online media from the
comparison period. The cumulative total volume of advertising grew 2.7% during
the first half of the year. Advertising in newspapers declined 0.3% and in
online media grew 25.3% in comparison with the same period in 2009.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The business segments are reported according to the Group's new internal
organisational structure in this interim report. The segment structure was
changed from the beginning of 2010 when Alma Media's printing and distribution
operations were combined in a new group unit. The new printing and distribution
unit is reported separately from the segments Newspapers, Kauppalehti group and
Marketplaces as part of the Other operations business segment.
After the change in the segment structure and composition, Alma Media has
adjusted the segments' items for the comparison period 2009 according to the
IFRS 8 Operating Segments standard. These changes are detailed in the appendix
to this interim report. The stock exchange release "Change in the structure and
composition of Alma Media's business segments" on April 27, 2010 presents the
segments' net sales and operating profits, key indicators, the segments' assets,
liabilities and investments as well as a summary of the effects of the changes
regarding the financial years 2008 and 2009 for the Newspapers, Kauppalehti
group and Marketplaces segments according to both the old and new segment
compositions.

The Newspapers segment reports the publishing activities of 35 newspapers. The
largest titles are Aamulehti and Iltalehti.
The second-quarter net sales for the Newspapers segment stayed at almost the
previous year's level at MEUR 55.4 (55.5). Advertising sales in this segment
increased 0.5% to MEUR 27.4 (27.3). During the second quarter, advertising sales
in printed media increased for Aamulehti and Lapin Kansa while the advertising
sales for other Alma Media newspapers declined slightly due to the weak market
development. Advertising sales for the segment's online business grew well from
the comparison period. Advertising sales for Iltalehti.fi had strong development
and grew 56.4% (35.5%) from the comparison period. Circulation net sales for
Newspapers stayed at the comparison period's level during the second quarter,
assisted by price increases. Single-copy sales of Iltalehti declined
approximately 8.6% (3.6%) during the second quarter, with the entire afternoon
paper market declining approximately 5.6% (4.6%).
The Newspapers segment's second-quarter operating profit was MEUR 9.2 (9.2).
Operating profit without one-time items for the segment was MEUR 9.2 (9.4).
The business operations of Tyrvään Sanomat Oy were transferred to Suomen
Paikallissanomat Oy, part of Alma Media Corporation, in April 2010. The deal
included two local papers, Tyrvään Sanomat and Paikallissanomat, as well as the
business operations of the advertising agency Idea-Mainos. Since June 1, 2010,
the acquired newspapers are consolidated into one paper, the twice-weekly
Tyrvään Sanomat. In June, Alma Media increased its shareholding in Kotikokki.net
Oy to 65%, and the company will in future be reported as a subsidiary company in
the Newspapers segment in Alma Media's consolidated financial statements.

The Marketplaces segment reports classified services produced on the internet
and supported by printed products. The services in Finland are Etuovi.com,
Monster.fi, Autotalli.com, Mascus.fi and Mikko.fi. The services outside Finland
are Mascus and Bovision, as well as City24 whose operations are being downsized.
In the second quarter of 2010, the net sales of Marketplaces was MEUR 8.2 (7.0)
and grew 16.6% (-25.0%). The net sales growth mainly came from the increased net
sales of the Etuovi.com, Monster.fi and Mascus services.
The operating profit of the Marketplaces segment was MEUR -0.7 (-0.2). The
operating profit without one-time items was MEUR -0.1 (-0.2). The segment's
second-quarter profitability was weakened by investments in product and service
development.
Alma Media and the newspaper development company Arena Partners Oy operating in
Central Finland will start cooperation in the nationwide marketplaces business.
The cooperation will in future cover the Etuovi.com, Vuokraovi.com,
Autotalli.com and Mikko.fi services. The competition authority approved the
arrangement on July 14, 2010.
The cooperation will have only a minor short-term effect on Alma Media's
financial indicators. The 2009 total net sales of the services to be transferred
to the new company were MEUR 16.9.

BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCIAL POSITION
The consolidated balance sheet at the end of June 2010 stood at MEUR 151.6
(156.0). The corporation's equity ratio at the end of June was 64.9% (58.4%) and
equity per share was EUR 1.11 (1.05).
The consolidated cash flow from operations in January-June was MEUR 28.9 (29.5).
Cash flow before financing was MEUR 25.6 (27.7). Cash flow for capital
expenditure was affected primarily by the share acquisitions of Marknadspriser i
Sverige AB, Kateetti Oy and Kotikokki.net Oy, as well as the purchase of the
business operations of Tyrvään Sanomat.
The Group's net debt at the end of June stood at MEUR -14.5 (0.3).
The Group currently has a MEUR 100.0 commercial paper programme in Finland under
which it is permitted to issue papers to a total amount of MEUR 0-100. The
unused part of the programme was MEUR 100.0 on June 30, 2010. In addition, the
Group has a credit limit in the amount of MEUR 50 for the period August
6, 2009-August 6, 2011, which on June 30, 2010 was totally unused.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
Alma Media Group's capital expenditure in April-June totalled MEUR 2.9 (1.4).
The second-quarter capital expenditure comprised normal operational and
replacement investments, as well as share purchases.
Alma Media Corporation announced on December 17, 2009 that it had initiated
preparations for an investment aiming at the modernisation of its printing
facilities in Tampere. The Board of Directors decided to proceed with the
initiative to the execution phase on March 11, 2010. The total value of the
investment will be EUR 50 million maximum. Most of the investment will be
carried out in 2011 and 2012. The new printing facility is estimated to be
operational in 2013. Due to the investment decision, the annual depreciation on
the existing printing press for the remainder of its estimated usage will rise
by MEUR 1.0 in the financial year 2010 and MEUR 1.2 in the financial years 2011
and 2012.
RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The purpose of Alma Media Corporation's risk management activities is to
continuously evaluate and manage all opportunities, threats and risks in
conjunction with the company's operations to enable the company to reach its set
objectives and to secure business continuity.
The risk management process identifies the risks, develops appropriate risk
management methods and regularly reports on risk issues to the risk management
organisation. Risk management is part of Alma Media's internal audit function
and thereby part of good corporate governance. Written limits and processing
methods are set for quantitative and qualitative risks by the corporate risk
management system.
The most critical strategic risks for Alma Media are a significant drop in the
readership of its publications, a decline in advertising sales and a significant
increase in distribution and delivery costs. Fluctuating economic cycles are
reflected on the development of advertising sales, which accounts for
approximately half of the corporation's net sales. Developing businesses outside
Finland, such as the Baltic countries and other East European countries, include
country-specific risks relating to market development and economic growth.
In the long term, the media business will undergo changes along with the changes
in media consumption and technological developments. The Group's strategic
objective is to meet this challenge through renewal and the development of new
business operations in online media. The most important operational risks are
disturbances in information technology systems and telecommunication, and an
interruption of printing operations.
ADMINISTRATION
Alma Media Corporation's ordinary Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on March
11, 2010 elected Lauri Helve, Kai Seikku, Erkki Solja, Kari Stadigh, Harri
Suutari, Catharina Stackelberg-Hammarén and Seppo Paatelainen members of the
company's Board of Directors. In its constitutive meeting held after the Annual
General Meeting, the Board of Directors elected Kari Stadigh its Chairman and
Seppo Paatelainen its Deputy Chairman.
The Board also elected the members of its committees. Kai Seikku, Erkki Solja,
Catharina Stackelberg-Hammarén and Harri Suutari as chairman were elected
members of the Audit Committee. Seppo Paatelainen and Lauri Helve, as well as
Kari Stadigh as chairman, were elected members of the Nomination and
Compensation Committee.
Except for Kari Stadigh, the Board of Directors has evaluated the persons
elected to the Board of Directors to be independent of the company and its major
shareholders. Kari Stadigh is evaluated to be independent of the company but not
independent of a significant shareholder.
Mikko Korttila, General Counsel of Alma Media Corporation, was appointed
secretary to the Board of Directors.
The AGM appointed Ernst & Young Oy as the company's auditors.
Oy Herttaässä Ab, a company holding more than 10% of the shares in Alma Media,
proposed to the AGM that a special audit should be conducted regarding the
operations of the Nomination and Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of Alma Media Corporation for the last five years. The AGM considered
the proposal, and as the shareholding of Oy Herttaässä Ab exceeds 10%, the
proposal was recorded in the meeting minutes. On April 15, 2010, Alma Media
received notification that Oy Herttaässä Ab has submitted an application for the
special audit to the Regional State Administrative Agency of Southern Finland.
Alma Media has submitted its answer to the Regional State Administrative Agency
of Southern Finland.
In April, the shareholder Oy Herttaässä Ab requested the company to convene an
extraordinary general meeting. The Board of Directors received the request on
April 23, 2010 and published a stock exchange release on the request on the same
date. On May 21, 2010, Alma Media published a notice to the Extraordinary
General Meeting to be held in Helsinki on August 19, 2010. On June 30, 2010, Oy
Herttaässä Ab owned 12.95% of Alma Media Corporation's shares.
Oy Herttaässä Ab has requested that the EGM consider the decision upon the
printing facility investment, as well as increasing the number of the members of
and complementing the Board of Directors. The letter of request is available in
its entirety on Alma Media Corporation's website at www.almamedia.fi/egm.
Alma Media Corporation applies the Finnish Corporate Governance Code for listed
companies, issued by the Securities Market Association on October 20, 2008, in
its unaltered form. The statement on the company's administration and control
system, as required by Recommendation 51 of the Code, is published separately.

ACQUIRED BUSINESSES APRIL 1-JUNE 30, 2010
During the review period, Alma Media acquired the business operations of Tyrvään
Sanomat and increased its shareholding in Kotikokki.net Oy from 40% to 65%.
Kotikokki.net Oy has earlier been consolidated as an associated company. The
fair value of this earlier share at time of purchase was MEUR 0.5 and the
proceeds, MEUR 0.2, have been recorded in Other income from business operations.
The fair value of the total consideration transferred from the companies in cash
at time of purchase was MEUR 1.4, and there are no conditional later
considerations. Non-controlling interest at time of purchase was recorded in the
amount of MEUR 0.1, valued at an amount corresponding to the proportional share
of the non-controlling interest of the identifiable net assets of the purchased
company.
The fair value and gross amount of receivables acquired totalled MEUR 0.1. The
most important other assets and liabilities acquired comprised intangible
assets, including customer relations trademarks and technology at MEUR 0.8, cash
at MEUR 0.2, and accounts payable and other short-term liabilities at MEUR 0.1.
The goodwill generated by the acquisition, MEUR 1.2, was influenced by expected
synergy benefits. Of the goodwill, MEUR 0.6 is expected to be deductable from
taxes. If the acquisition had been carried out at the beginning of the year
2010, the Group's revenue would be MEUR 0.6 more.

Related parties also include the company's senior management (members of the
Board of Directors, presidents and the Group Executive Team). The section The
Alma Media Share - Option Rights of this report presents information on changes
to the current option programme intended to motivate and secure the long-term
commitment of the Group's senior management.
MAIN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (IFRS)
This interim report has been prepared according to IFRS standards (IAS 34).
The report applies the same accounting principles and calculation methods as the
previous annual accounts dated December 31, 2009, with the exception of the
standards and interpretations applied from January 1, 2010 as listed below. The
interim report does not, however, contain all the information or notes to the
accounts included in the annual financial statements. This interim report should
therefore be read in conjunction with the company's annual report.
The key indicators are calculated using the same formulae as applied in the
previous annual financial statements. The quarterly percentages of Return on
Investment (ROI) and Return on Equity (ROE) have been annualised using the
formula ((1+quarterly return)(4))-1). The figures in this interim report are
independently rounded.
The accounting principles of the financial years 2010 and 2009 are comparable.
The company has no discontinued operations to report in the 2009-2010 financial
periods. The appendices summarise the information for the comparison periods by
segment according to both the new and the old segment structure.
The Group has applied the following standards and interpretations from January
1, 2010:
IFRS 3 (2008) Business Combinations
IAS 27 (2008) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Eligible Hedged
Items, amended
IFRIC 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners
IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers
IFRS - Improvements to IFRSs (April 2009)
IFRS 2 Share-based Payment - Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment
Transactions, amended
The impact of the above new standards and IFRIC interpretations on the Group has
been marginal. The amendments to IFRS 3 have affected the accounting of
corporate acquisitions during the 2010 financial period, such as goodwill and
costs related to the acquisitions.
New accounting standards to be adopted from the beginning of 2011 or later are:
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, Phase 1
IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures (new)
IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation - Classification of Rights Issues
(amendment)
IFRIC 14 IAS 19 - The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding
Requirements and their Interaction
IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments
The Group preliminarily expects that the above new standards and interpretations
will have only a minor effect.
The figures in this interim report are unaudited.
SEASONALITY
The Group recognises its circulation revenues as paid. For this reason
circulation revenues accrue in the income statement fairly evenly during the
four quarters of the year. The bulk of circulation invoicing takes place at the
beginning of the year and therefore the cash flow from operating activities is
strongest in the first and second quarters. This also affects the company's
balance sheet position in different quarters.
GENERAL STATEMENT
This report contains certain statements that are estimates based on the
management's best knowledge at the time they were made. For this reason they
contain a certain amount of risk and uncertainty. The estimates may change in
the event of significant changes in the general economic conditions.
NEXT INTERIM REPORT
Alma Media will publish its financial statements for the first nine months of
the year on October 29, 2010 at 9:00am (EEST).
