Eero Hautaniemi, President and CEO, in conjunction with the interim report:"Oriola-KD's third-quarter net sales grew five per cent to EUR 522 million and
operating profit excluding one-off items and impairment charges declined to EUR
3.4 million. The new IT system in the Swedish retail business was taken into use
according to plan by the end of September. The Swedish retail business started
negotiations for reducing workforce. In the Russian retail business, the Stary
Lekar and the 03 Apteka pharmacy chains were integrated and 19 unprofitable
pharmacies closed. The sales of the Stary Lekar pharmacy chain began to grow as
a result of changes in pricing. In Russian wholesale, sales outside Moscow were
increased and projects for boosting the efficiency of logistics were continued
as planned."

Financial performance

Net sales generated by the continuing operations of the Oriola-KD Group
(hereinafter Oriola-KD) in January-September 2011 were EUR 1,587.2 million (EUR
1,401.5 million), and the operating loss was EUR 26.0 million (operating profit
of EUR 2.4 million). The operating loss includes an impairment charge of EUR
33.4 million in the second-quarter related to the value of the intangible assets
of the Stary Lekar brand in Russia. Operating profit excluding one-off items and
the impairment charge decreased to EUR 7.4 million (1-9/2010: EUR 14.2 million),
owing to the weakened profitability of the Swedish retail business and the
Russian retail and wholesale businesses.

Profit after financial items was EUR -33.1 million (EUR -1.1 million) and net
profit EUR -28.2 million (EUR -2.0 million). Oriola-KD's financial expenses
increased to EUR 7.1 million (EUR 3.6 million), mainly due to the exchange
differences of loans and increased interest expenses. Taxes were EUR 4.9 million
positive (EUR -0.8 million), mostly owing to the change in deferred tax related
to the brand write-off. Taxes corresponding to the result for the January-
September period 2011 are entered under this figure. Earnings per share were EUR
-0.19 (EUR -0.01).

Third-quarter net sales came to EUR 521.6 million (EUR 498.5 million), and the
operating profit was EUR 3.4 million (operating loss of EUR 5.8 million).
Operating profit excluding one-off items and impairment charges decreased to EUR
3.4 million (EUR 5.9 million), owing to the weakened profitability of the
Swedish retail business. Profit after financial items was EUR 0.3 million (EUR
-7.0 million) and net result EUR -0.6 million (EUR -6.3 million). The third-
quarter earnings per share came to EUR 0.00 (EUR -0.04).

Return on equity was -11.8 per cent (-0.9 per cent) in January-September 2011.

Balance sheet, financing and cash flow

Oriola-KD's balance sheet total on 30 September 2011 stood at EUR 1,136.6
million (EUR 1,144.3 million). Cash assets were EUR 114.8 million (EUR 89.5
million), equity was EUR 283.8 million (EUR 302.5 million) and the equity ratio
was 25.6 per cent (27.1 per cent). During the second quarter of 2011, Oriola-KD
recognised an impairment charge of EUR 33.4 million related to the value of the
intangible assets of the Stary Lekar brand in Russia. In the changed competitive
environment the pricing power of the Stary Lekar brand has essentially declined.

Of Oriola-KD's group goodwill of EUR 255.5 million, EUR 121.1 million has been
allocated in impairment testing to the cash-generating unit of the Russian
retail and wholesale companies, EUR 108.2 million to the cash-generating unit of
the Swedish pharmaceutical retail business and EUR 26.2 million to the cash-
generating unit of the Swedish pharmaceutical wholesale business. According to
the impairment tests conducted in October 2011, Oriola-KD has no need for
goodwill write-offs.

Interest-bearing debt at the end of September 2011 was EUR 149.9 million (EUR
187.9 million), interest-bearing net debt was EUR 35.1 million (EUR 98.4
million) and the gearing ratio was 12.4 per cent (32.5 per cent). Interest-
bearing debt consists of long-term debt financing, 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
has hedged the interest rate risk of long-term debt financing.

Oriola-KD's committed long-term credit facilities of EUR 102.4 million and EUR
41.6 million in short-term credit account facilities with banks stood unused at
the end of the review period.  Oriola-KD's EUR 150 million commercial paper
programme was not in use at the end of the review period. The terms of the
financial covenants were met by a wide margin at the end of September 2011.

Net cash flow from operations in January-September 2011 was EUR -2.4 million
(EUR 43.2 million), of which changes in working capital accounted for EUR -6.2
million (EUR 32.1 million). In the Swedish pharmaceutical wholesale business,
the trade receivables sales programme was continued during 2011.

Net cash flow from investments was EUR -17.7 million (EUR -166.3 million).
During the January-September 2011 period, cash flow after investments was EUR
-20.1 million (EUR -123.1 million).

Investments

Gross investments for January-September 2011 came to EUR 20.3 million (EUR
186.1 million). They include operational investments mostly in establishing new
pharmacies in Sweden and Russia, improving the efficiency of wholesale
operations and information systems.

Personnel

On 30 September 2011, Oriola-KD's continuing operations had a payroll of 4,981
(4,877) employees, 10 per cent (11 per cent) of whom worked in Finland and the
Baltic countries, 25 per cent (28 per cent) in Sweden, and 65 per cent (61per
cent) in Russia. Personnel numbers include the members of staff in active
employment.

Changes to the Oriola-KD Group Management Team: Anne Kariniemi, Vice President,
Logistics and Sourcing, resigned on 23 June 2011 and Cecilia Marlow, Vice
President, Pharmaceutical Retail, Sweden, resigned on 15 August 2011. Anne
Kariniemi's duties have been distributed among the current organisation, and
Jonas Levin is now the acting head of Pharmaceutical Retail in Sweden.

Reporting segments

Oriola-KD's reporting segments are Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics,
Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden and Pharmaceutical Trade Russia.

Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics

The net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics in January-September
2011 were EUR 309.1 million (EUR 336.9 million), and its operating profit was
EUR 16.2 million (EUR 16.1 million). Pharmaceutical wholesale Finland's
invoicing in January-September was EUR 725.1 million (EUR 713.8 million) and net
sales were EUR 249.6 million (EUR 281.9 million). Net sales of pharmaceutical
wholesale in the Baltic countries were EUR 25.4 million (EUR 23.0 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, was EUR 34.4 million
(EUR 32.2 million).

The net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics in the third quarter
of 2011 were EUR 101.8 million (EUR 111.1 million) and its operating profit was
EUR 5.9 million (EUR 6.2 million). Invoicing of Pharmaceutical wholesale Finland
in the third quarter came to EUR 239.6 million (EUR 240.0 million) and net sales
to EUR 82.7 million (EUR 93.2 million). Net sales of pharmaceutical wholesale in
the Baltic countries were EUR 8.2 million (EUR 7.4 million), while net sales of
the Consumer Health business were EUR 11.1 million (EUR 10.6 million).

The Finnish pharmaceutical market grew by 1.0 per cent (decrease of 0.9 per
cent) in January-September 2011. Oriola-KD's market share in the Finnish
pharmaceutical wholesale market was 45.6 per cent (46.5 per cent) in January-
September 2011 (source: IMS Health).

Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics had 496 (497) employees at the end of
September 2011.

Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden

Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden's net sales in January-September 2011 were EUR
783.5 million (EUR 661.9 million) and its operating profit excluding one-off
items was EUR 8.0 million (EUR 10.9 million). Operating profit in 2010 included
EUR 1.7 million in one-off costs in relation to the bankruptcy of a
pharmaceutical company in Sweden. Competition in the pharmaceutical retail
business in Sweden was stiff and the profitability of business operations was
weaker than in the previous year. Invoicing of the pharmaceutical wholesale
business in Sweden was EUR 1,083.6 million (EUR 908.5 million) and net sales
were EUR 465.9 million (EUR 414.1 million).  Net sales of the pharmaceutical
retail business in Sweden were EUR 361.6 million (EUR 282.4 million). The
pharmaceutical retail business has been consolidated with the Oriola-KD figures
as of 19 February 2010.

Third-quarter net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden came to EUR 249.6 million
(EUR 239.5 million), of which retail accounted for EUR 115.3 million (EUR 116.1
million). Wholesale invoicing was EUR 337.8 million (EUR 308.1 million) and net
sales were EUR 148.4 million (EUR 137.6 million). The operating profit of
Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden excluding one-off items decreased to EUR 3.8 million
(EUR 6.6 million), owing to the weakened profitability of the retail business.
In the pharmaceutical retail business, the operating profit was weakened by
decreased year-on-year sales in Swedish krona as a result of stiff competition,
as well as by high fixed costs that were mostly due to the implementation of an
IT system. The third-quarter operating profit in 2010 included EUR 1.7 million
in one-off costs.

At the end of September, Kronans Droghandel Apotek AB completed the
implementation of a new IT system in all of its pharmacies, which will decrease
the fixed costs of the retail business starting from the fourth quarter and
enable the company to implement its efficiency programme. The company announced
in September that it will begin negotiations with labour unions to reduce a
maximum of 40 jobs in order to enhance operational efficiency and improve
profitability.

The Swedish pharmaceutical market grew by 2.8 per cent (0.8 per cent) in
January-September 2011. Oriola-KD's market share in the Swedish pharmaceutical
wholesale market was 38.7 per cent (40.5 per cent) and in the retail market
13.5 per cent (14 per cent) in January-September 2011 (source: IMS Health).

Oriola-KD had a total of 202 (176) pharmacies in Sweden at the end of September
2011.

Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden had 1,254 (1,381) employees at the end of September
2011, of whom 1,002 (1,082) were employed in retail and 252 (299) in wholesale.


Pharmaceutical Trade Russia

Pharmaceutical Trade Russia's net sales in January-September 2011 were EUR
494.9 million (EUR 402.8 million) and its operating loss excluding one-off items
was EUR 12.8 million (operating loss of EUR 8.2 million). One-off items were EUR
33.4 million caused by impairment charge of EUR 33.4 million related to the
value of the intangible assets of the Stary Lekar brand in Russia. (EUR 10.0
million in 2010 related to write-off of trade receivable and stock value write-
off). Stiff competition in Russia decreased the retail business's sales margin
and changes in the competitive environment substantially weakened the pricing
power of the Stary Lekar brand. The net sales of pharmaceutical wholesale in
Russia were EUR 426.0 million (EUR 369.5 million) and of retail EUR 96.6 million
(EUR 72.9 million). The figures for the 03 Apteka pharmacy chain have been
consolidated with Oriola-KD's figures as of 31 August 2010.

In Pharmaceutical Trade Russia, the third-quarter net sales came to EUR 170.3
million (EUR 147.8 million), of which retail accounted for EUR 31.5 million (EUR
25.4 million) and wholesale EUR 145.7 million (EUR 137.5 million). The operating
loss excluding one-off items was EUR 5.5 million (operating loss of EUR 5.7
million). The third-quarter operating loss for 2010 included EUR 10.0 million in
one-off costs.

The Stary Lekar and 03 Apteka pharmacy chains were integrated, 19 unprofitable
pharmacies were closed and the pharmacies' pricing changes were implemented by
the end of the third quarter. The sales of the Stary Lekar pharmacy chain began
to increase as a result of changes in pricing. In the wholesale business,
regional sales outside Moscow were increased, sales margins were raised, a
number of unprofitable operations were discontinued, the organisation was
strengthened and the project for enhancing the efficiency of logistics was
continued in the third quarter. During the fourth quarter, the IT systems of the
Stary Lekar and 03 Apteka pharmacy chains will be integrated, more unprofitable
pharmacies will be closed and measures to enhance the efficiency of the
wholesale business will continue to be carried out.

The Russian Ruble-denominated growth in the commercial pharmaceutical market in
Russia was 9.9 per cent (10.0 per cent) in January-September 2011 (source:
Pharmexpert). Oriola-KD's net sales increased by 25.9 per cent (about 9 per
cent) in Russian Rubles in January-September 2011.

At the end of September 2011, Oriola-KD had 264 (251) pharmacies in the Moscow
area, of which 189 (181) operated under the Stary Lekar brand and 75 (70) under
the 03 Apteka brand. In addition to the main logistics centre in Moscow, there
are twelve regional logistics centres.

At the end of September 2011, Pharmaceutical Trade Russia had 3,231 (2,999)

Decisions of the 2011 Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting of Oriola-KD Corporation, held on 6 April 2011,
adopted the 2010 financial statements and discharged the members of the Board of
Directors and the President and CEO from liability for the financial year ending
31 December 2010. According to the decisions of the AGM, the company paid a
dividend of EUR 0.05 per share and distributed EUR 0.13 per share as repayment
of equity on 19 April 2011.

The AGM re-elected Harry Brade, Per Båtelson, Pauli Kulvik, Outi Raitasuo, Olli
Riikkala (Chairman) and Mika Vidgrén as Board members and elected Jukka Alho and
Ilkka Salonen as new members.  PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy was re-elected as
auditor for the company, with APA Heikki Lassila as principal auditor.

The AGM authorised the Board to decide on the payment of an additional dividend
from undistributed profits and/or distribution of assets from the company's
invested unrestricted equity reserve, or both together, totalling a maximum of
EUR 0.10 per share. The authorisation is in force until the next annual general
meeting.

The AGM authorised the Board to decide on repurchasing up to fifteen million of
the company's own class B shares. Shares may be repurchased also in a proportion
other than in which shares are owned by the shareholders. The authorisation is
in force for a maximum of eighteen months following the decision of the AGM.

derogate from the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription right. The

and its major shareholders.

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:

  * growth in the 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 control
  * 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 any 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 impairment testing at least once
every year. 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 of the goodwill of the
Russian cash-generating unit, in particular, is more sensitive than before to
changes in the discount rate or cash-flow forecasts.

Near-term risks and uncertainty factors

Stiff competition and the number of new pharmacies to be established has an
impact on the profitability of Oriola-KD's pharmacy business. Changes in the
exchange rate of the Russian Ruble due to uncertainties in the global economy
and increasing customer credit risks may have an impact on the profitability of
the wholesale business in Russia.

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 annually in average by some 3 per cent
in Finland, 2-3 per cent in Sweden, and 11-13 per cent in Russia, measured in
local currencies (source: IMS Health). Growth in the Russian pharmaceutical
market in 2011 is expected to be lower than the longer term trend and the tough
competition is expected to continue. The visibility in the Russian
pharmaceutical market development continues to be poor. Competition in the
Swedish retail market is expected to continue to be stiff as a result of the
deregulation.

Outlook unchanged:
Oriola-KD's net sales are expected to increase over 10 per cent in 2011 compared
to the previous year. Operating profit excluding one-off items and impairment
charges is expected to exceed EUR 20 million in 2011.

Tables

The interim report for 1 January-30 September 2011 has been prepared in
accordance with the recognition policies of the IAS 34 standard. Oriola-KD
adopted new IAS/IFRS standards in 2011: IAS 32 (amendment), IAS 24 (revised) and
IFRIC 14 (amendment). The figures are unaudited.
