ORION CORPORATION / INTERIM REPORT / JANUARY-MARCH 2013 / 23 April 2013
at 12:00 noon EEST
Orion's net sales in January-March 2013 totalled EUR 249 million (EUR 247
million in January-March 2012).
* Operating profit was EUR 74 (79) million.
* Profit before taxes was EUR 74 (79) million.
* Equity ratio was 41% (39%).

* ROE after taxes was 50% (58%).
* Basic earnings per share were EUR 0.39 (0.42).
* Cash flow per share before financial items was EUR 0.07 (0.27).
* Orion has changed its accounting principles concerning defined benefit plans
to comply with the requirements of the amended IAS 19 Employee Benefits
standard. The standard has been applied retrospectively as of 1 January
2013, so the 2012 comparative period data have been restated accordingly.

President and CEO Timo Lappalainen's review"First quarter as anticipated""Our net sales were similar to the previous year and as expected our operating
profit was slightly lower than in 2012."As anticipated, deliveries of our Parkinson's drugs to Novartis continued to
decline. Total sales generated by Stalevo(®) and Comtess(®) in Orion's own sales
organisation were also slightly down on the comparative period."However, sales from the rest of our product portfolio increased slightly and
compensated for the decrease in sales of Parkinson's drugs, keeping our total
net sales similar to the previous year. We also achieved further strengthening
of our market position because in most markets our growth was faster than growth
of the pharmaceuticals market as a whole."Sales of dexdor(®) intensive care sedative (dexmedetomidine) launched at the
end of 2011 continued to develop well during the first quarter of this year. In
March our partner Hospira was granted paediatric exclusivity for Precedex(®) in
the United States until January 2014, so sales of the product are expected to
remain good throughout the year."In March we took a significant step in expanding the Easyhaler(®) product
family into combined formulations when we submitted the application for
marketing authorisation for a budesonide-formoterol formulation in Europe. In
early 2013 we also presented positive Phase I and II results received in 2012
with an alpha-2c adrenoceptor antagonist being developed for the treatment of
Alzheimer's disease, an androgen receptor antagonist being developed for the
treatment of advanced prostate cancer and a new more effective levodopa product.
Negotiations to find partners for the next development phase for these products
are ongoing.
"After the review period, Orion Diagnostica gave a negotiation proposal, as
laid down in the Finnish Act on Co-operation within Undertakings, on
streamlining operations, reorganising production and possible personnel
reductions. The total personnel reduction that would be needed is estimated at
no more than 80 employees. The measures under consideration are intended to
streamline operations and improve the Company's profitability by among other
things simplifying the product portfolio, and at the same time ensure the
continuity of operations and competitiveness in the future too."Following the increase in sales in recent years, Orion's production capacity
has reached a high utilisation rate. Consequently, we have started several
significant investment and production reorganisation projects to develop and
ensure future growth, delivery reliability and quality standards. However, they
are temporarily increasing production costs and decreasing production capacity
more than anticipated, which reduced our margin in the first quarter of this
year."Our outlook estimate, which can be found with the basis for it on pages 6-7 of
this report, remains unchanged. We estimate that our net sales will be at
similar level to the previous year and our operating profit will be slightly
lower than in 2012."
Events during the period
On 5 February the Board of Directors of Orion Corporation decided on an
incentive plan for key persons.
On 1 March Orion transferred altogether 137,000 Orion Corporation B shares held
by the Company as a share bonus for the earning periods 2010-2012 and 2012 to
the persons employed by the Group and belonging to the Share-based Incentive
Plan for key persons of the Group.
On 19 March Orion Corporation's Annual General Meeting was held at the Helsinki
Fair Centre.
On 21 March Orion announced that it had submitted a marketing authorisation
application for a combined budesonide-formoterol formulation in the Easyhaler(®)
product family in Europe.
Events after the period
On 10 April Orion Diagnostica gave a negotiation proposal on streamlining
operations and reducing the number of personnel in Finland by no more than 80.

Financial review Q1/2013
Net sales
The Orion Group's net sales in January-March 2013 were EUR 249 million (EUR 247
million in January-March 2012). The net effect of currency exchange rates was
EUR -1 million.
The Pharmaceuticals business's net sales were EUR 234 (233) million. Net sales
of Orion's Stalevo(®) (carbidopa, levodopa and entacapone) and
Comtess(®)/Comtan(®) (entacapone) Parkinson's drugs were down by 5% at EUR 60
(63) million, which was 26% (27%) of the Pharmaceuticals business's net sales.
The net sales of other products in the portfolio were up by 3% at EUR 174 (169)
million.
The Diagnostics business's net sales were EUR 16 (16) million.
Operating profit
The Orion Group's operating profit was down by 6% at EUR 74 (79) million.
The Pharmaceuticals business's operating profit was down by 6% at EUR 74 (79)
million. The gross profit percentage was lower than in the comparative period
partly due to lower prices, but mainly due to higher production costs. Costs
were increased by the ongoing extensive investment and production facility
modification projects, which have temporarily decreased production capacity and
at the same time increased costs. As anticipated, research and development costs
were slightly higher than in the comparative period.
The Diagnostics business's operating profit was down by 8% at EUR 2.3 (2.5)
million mainly due to higher research and development costs.
Operating expenses
The Group's sales and marketing expenses were EUR 49 (49) million.
R&D expenses were up by 7% at EUR 25 (23) million and accounted for 10% (9%) of
the Group's net sales. Pharmaceutical R&D expenses amounted to EUR 22 (21)
million. Research projects are reported in more detail under Pharmaceuticals in
the Business Reviews.
Administrative expenses were EUR 11 (11) million.
Other operating income and expenses increased profit by EUR 0.3 (2) million.
Group's profit
The Group's profit before taxes totalled EUR 74 (79) million. Basic earnings per
share were EUR 0.39 (0.42) and diluted earnings per share were EUR 0.39 (0.42).
Equity per share was EUR 2.71 (2.42). The return on capital employed before
taxes (ROCE) was 50% (60%) and the return on equity after taxes (ROE) 50% (58%).
Financial position
The Group's gearing was -5% (-21%) and the equity ratio 41% (39%).
The Group's total liabilities at 31 March 2013 were EUR 546 (539) million. At
the end of the period, interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 175 (164)
million, including EUR 103 (134) million of long-term loans. The non-interest-
bearing liabilities in 2012 and 2013 include the dividends paid in the beginning
of April but transferred from equity already in March, and in 2012 also the
repayments of capital.
The Group had EUR 193 (236) million of cash and cash equivalents at the end of
the period, which are invested in short-term interest-bearing instruments issued
by financially solid financial institutions and corporations.
Cash flow
Cash flow from operating activities was lower than in the comparative period at
EUR 29 (50) million. The cash flow was lower because the operating profit
decreased and the amount tied up into working capital increased by more than in
the comparative period. Inventories further increased. In addition, receivables
other than trade receivables in the statement of financial position were higher
partly due to items subject to variable timing such as value added tax refunds
and partly due to higher royalty receivables from Hospira owing to higher
Precedex sales. In addition, income taxes paid were slightly higher than in the
comparative period.
Cash flow from investing activities was EUR -18 (-12) million.
Cash flow from financing activities was EUR 38 (75) million.
Capital expenditure
The Group's capital expenditure totalled EUR 19 (8) million. This comprised EUR
18 (7) million on property, plant and equipment and EUR 2 (1) million on
intangible assets.
Outlook for 2013
Net sales will be at similar level to 2012 (net sales in 2012 were EUR 980
million).
Operating profit will be slightly lower than in 2012 (operating profit in 2012
was EUR 278 million).
The Group's capital expenditure will be about EUR 80 million excluding
substantial corporate or product acquisitions (the Group's capital expenditure
in 2012 was EUR 47 million).
Basis for outlook
Competition in the Finnish market will remain intense in 2013. However, product
launches will continue to support Orion's position as market leader.
The generic competition that commenced in April 2012 in the United States has
decreased sales of Orion's Parkinson's drugs. The decrease will continue in
2013 because generic products will be in the markets during the whole year and,
in addition, the number of competitors will be greater than in 2012. US markets
accounted for about EUR 60 million of the net sales of Orion's Parkinson's drugs
in 2011 and about EUR 33 million in 2012. In addition, sales of generic
entacapone products to the United States amounted to about EUR 17 million in
2012.
The entacapone molecule patent expired in November 2012 in the main European
countries for Orion, and as a result there will be generic competitors to Comtan
and Comtess in these markets in 2013. Data protection of Stalevo will remain
valid in the European Union until October 2013 and generic competition is not
expected to commence in Europe during the current year, even though the first
generic marketing authorisation application in Europe has already been
submitted. The total sales of Orion's Parkinson's drugs in Europe are expected
to be slightly lower than in 2012. Elsewhere in the world generic competition is
not expected to have a material impact on sales volumes of these products in the
current year, but declining prices and depreciation of the Japanese yen in
relation to the euro will decrease sales.
Net sales and operating profit in 2012 also included EUR 10 million of non-
recurring long-term compensatory payments related to the pricing of partner
deliveries.
A slight decrease in the gross profit as percentage of net sales is anticipated.
Sales of generic products will account for a greater proportion of Orion's total
sales and price competition will remain intense in many markets. In addition,
significant ongoing investments to develop and ensure future growth, delivery
reliability and quality standards, and related reorganisation of production will
temporarily decrease production capacity and increase production costs.
Marketing expenditure will be similar to the previous year. Because the
registrations and launches of new products are projects that take more than a
year, the increases in resources and other inputs required in 2013 were planned
mainly during the previous year.
Research and development costs will be slightly higher than in 2012. They are
partly the Company's internal fixed cost items, such as salaries and maintenance
of the operating infrastructure, and partly external variable costs. External
costs arise from, among other things, long-term clinical trials, which are
typically performed in clinics located in several countries. The most important
clinical trials scheduled for 2013 are either ongoing from the previous year or
at an advanced stage of planning, therefore their cost level can be estimated
rather accurately. The accrued costs are materially affected by how the costs
arising are allocated between Orion and its collaboration partners.
The estimated costs of the ongoing patent litigations in the United States are
based on the planned timetables and work estimates. The costs due to the
litigations will depend on a number of factors, which are difficult to estimate
accurately.
Near-term risks and uncertainties relating to the outlook
Sales of Orion's Parkinson's drugs will decrease in 2013 due to generic
competition. The effects of the competition have been taken into account in the
outlook estimate.
Sales of individual products and also Orion's sales in individual markets may
vary, for example depending on the extent to which the ever-tougher price and
other competition prevailing in pharmaceutical markets in recent years will
specifically affect Orion's products. Deliveries to Novartis are based on
timetables that are jointly agreed in advance. Nevertheless, they can change,
for example as a consequence of decisions by Novartis concerning among others
adjustments of stock levels. In addition, changes in market prices and exchange
rates affect the value of deliveries to Novartis.
Most of the exchange rate risk is related to the US dollar. Typically, only less
than 15% of Orion's net sales comes from the United States. As regards
currencies in European countries, the overall effect will be abated by the fact
that Orion has organisations of its own in most of these countries, which means
that in addition to sales income, there are also costs in these currencies.
Changes in the Japanese yen exchange rate have become more important as sales of
Parkinson's drugs in Japan have increased.
Orion's currently high production capacity utilisation rate and its broad
product range may cause risks to the delivery reliability and make it more
challenging than before to maintain the very high quality standard required.
Authorities and key customers in different countries undertake regular and
detailed inspections of development and manufacturing of drugs. Any remedial
actions that may be required may at least temporarily reduce delivery
reliability.
Research projects always entail uncertainty factors that may either increase or
decrease estimated costs. The projects may progress more slowly or faster than
assumed, or they may be discontinued. Nonetheless, changes that may occur in
ongoing clinical studies are reflected in costs relatively slowly, and they are
not expected to have a material impact on earnings in the current year. Owing to
the nature of the research process, the timetables and costs of new studies that
are being started are known well in advance. They therefore typically do not
lead to unexpected changes in the estimated cost structure. Orion generally
undertakes Phase III clinical trials in collaboration with other pharmaceutical
companies. Commencement of these collaboration relationships and their structure
also materially affect the schedule and cost level of research projects.
Group's financial objectives
Orion's financial objectives are ensuring the Group's financial stability and
profitable growth.
These objectives are achieved through:
* Increasing net sales. Achievement of this objective requires continuous
investment in development of the product portfolio.
* Maintaining profitability at a good level, the aim being operating profit
that exceeds 20% of net sales.
* Keeping the equity ratio at least 50%.
Orion's dividend distribution policy
Orion's dividend distribution takes into account the distributable funds and the
capital expenditure and other financial requirements in the medium and long term
to achieve the financial objectives.
Shares and shareholders
On 31 March 2013 Orion had a total of 141,257,828 (141,257,828) shares, of which
43,235,318 (44,993,218) were A shares and 98,022,510 (96,264,610) B shares. The
Group's share capital was EUR 92,238,541.46 (92,238,541.46). At the end of March
2013 Orion held 188,991 (325,991) B shares as treasury shares. On 31 March 2013
the aggregate number of votes conferred by the A and B shares was 962,539,879
(995,802,979) excluding treasury shares.
At the end of March 2013, Orion had 54,961 (61,442) registered shareholders.
Voting rights conferred by shares
Each A share entitles its holder to twenty (20) votes at General Meetings of
Shareholders and each B share one (1) vote. However, a shareholder cannot vote
more than 1/20 of the aggregate number of votes from the different share classes
represented at the General Meetings of Shareholders. The Company itself and
Orion Pension Fund do not have the right to vote at Orion Corporation's General
Meetings of Shareholders.
Both share classes, A and B, confer equal rights to the Company's assets and
dividends.
Conversion of shares
The Articles of Association entitle shareholders to demand the conversion of
their A shares to B shares within the limitation on the maximum number of shares
of a class. In January-March 2013 a total of 31,900 shares were converted.
Trading in Orion's shares
Orion's A shares and B shares are quoted on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki in the Large Cap
group under the Healthcare sector heading under the trading codes ORNAV and
ORNBV. Trading in both of the Company's share classes commenced on 3 July 2006,
and information on trading in the Company's shares has been available since this
date.
On 31 March 2013 the market capitalisation of the Company's shares excluding
treasury shares was EUR 2,883 million.
Orion shares are also traded on various alternative trading platforms in
addition to NASDAQ OMX Helsinki.
Authorisations of the Board of Directors
Orion's Board of Directors was authorised by the Annual General Meeting on 19
March 2013 to decide on acquisition of shares in the Company and on a share
issue in which shares held by the Company can be conveyed. The authorisation to
acquire shares is valid for 18 months and the authorisation to issue shares is
valid for five years from the decision taken by the Annual General Meeting.
The Board of Directors is authorised to decide on acquisition of no more than
500,000 Orion Corporation B shares. Such shares shall be acquired at the market
price at the time of acquisition quoted in the regulated market of NASDAQ OMX
Helsinki Oy ("Stock Exchange") using funds in the Company's distributable
equity. Such shares may be acquired in the regulated market of the Stock
Exchange in a proportion not corresponding to the shareholders' holdings. The
shares shall be acquired and paid for in accordance with the rules of the Stock
Exchange and Euroclear Finland Ltd. The shares acquired can be kept, cancelled
or further conveyed by the Company. The shares can be acquired for the purpose
of developing the capital structure of the Company, for use in financing
possible corporate acquisitions or other business arrangements of the Company,
for financing capital expenditure, as part of the Company's incentive plan, or
for otherwise conveying or cancelling them. The Board of Directors shall decide
on other matters related to the acquisition of shares in the Company.
The Board of Directors is authorised to decide on conveyance of no more than
600,000 Orion Corporation B shares held by the Company. Such shares held by the
Company can be conveyed either against or without payment. Such shares held by
the Company can be conveyed by selling them in the regulated market of the Stock
Exchange; in a share issue placement to the Company's shareholders in proportion
to their holdings at the time of the conveyance regardless of whether they own A
or B shares; or in a share issue placement deviating from shareholders' pre-
emptive rights if there is a weighty financial reason, such as the development
of the capital structure of the Company, using the shares to finance possible
corporate acquisitions or other business arrangements of the Company, financing
capital expenditure or as part of the Company's incentive plan. The share issue
placement can be without payment only if there is an especially weighty
financial reason in the view of the Company and to the benefit of all its
shareholders. The amounts paid for shares in the Company conveyed shall be
recorded in a distributable equity fund. The Board of Directors shall decide on
other matters related to the conveyance of shares held by the Company. The
decision to authorise the share issue revoked the unexercised portion of the
outstanding share issue authorisation approved at Orion Corporation's Annual
General Meeting on 24 March 2010.
The Board of Directors is not authorised to increase the share capital or to
issue bonds with warrants or convertible bonds or stock options.
Share-based Incentive Plans
Orion Group's 2010 long-term incentive plan
On 1 March 2013 Orion transferred altogether 137,000 Orion Corporation B shares
held by the Company as a share bonus for earning periods 2010-2012 and 2012 to
the key persons employed by the Group and belonging to the Share-based Incentive
Plan of the Group. The transfer was based on the authorisation by the Annual
General Meeting on 24 March 2010. The price per share of the transferred shares
was EUR 22.7936, which was the volume weighted average quotation of Orion
Corporation B shares on 1 March 2013. The total transaction price of the
transferred shares was therefore EUR 3,122,723.20.
Orion Group's 2013 long-term incentive plan
In February 2013 the Board of Directors of Orion Corporation decided on a new
share-based incentive plan for key persons of the Group. The Plan includes
earning periods and the Board of Directors will annually decide on the beginning
and duration of the earning periods in 2013, 2014 and 2015. The Board of
Directors will decide on the earnings criteria and on targets to be established
for them at the beginning of each earning period. The target group of the Plan
consists of approximately 35 people. The total maximum amount of rewards to be
paid on the basis of the Plan is 500,000 Orion Corporation B shares and a cash
payment corresponding to the value of the shares. The incentive plan is reported
in more detail in a stock exchange release on 5 February 2013.
Share ownership
Orion's shares are in the book-entry system maintained by Euroclear Finland, and
Euroclear Finland maintains Orion's official shareholder register.
At the end of March 2013 Orion had a total of 54,961 (61,442) registered
shareholders, of whom 95% (95%) were private individuals holding 48% (52%) of
the entire share stock and 64% (65%) of the total votes. There were altogether
47 (41) million nominee-registered shares, which was 33% (29%) of all shares,
and they conferred entitlement to 7% (6%) of the total votes.
At the end of March 2013 Orion held 188,991 (325,991) B shares as treasury
shares, which is 0.1% (0.2%) of the Company's total share stock and 0.02%
(0.03%) of the total votes.

Significant legal proceedings
Legal proceedings against the Sandoz companies
On 1 May 2012 Orion announced that it had been informed that the United States
District Court for the District of New Jersey had given its decision on the
patent infringement lawsuit that Orion Corporation and Hospira, Inc. filed on 4
September 2009 to enforce US Patents Nos. 4,910,214 and 6,716,867. The
respondents in the case are Sandoz Inc., Sandoz International GmbH and Sandoz
Canada Inc. (hereinafter collectively "Sandoz").
The court found that US Patent No. 4,910,214 is valid and enforceable. Sandoz is
permanently enjoined from the commercial manufacture, use, sale or offer for
sale in the United States or importation into the United States of its generic
dexmedetomidine product until such time as US Patent No. 4,910,214 expires,
including any applicable extensions. The Court also ordered that the effective
date of Sandoz's Abbreviated New Drug Application No. 91-465 shall not occur
until the expiration of Patent No. 4,910,214, including any applicable
extensions. Separately, the court found that US Patent No. 6,716,867 is invalid
as obvious.
Orion's licensee Hospira, Inc. sells Precedex(®) in the United States and in
markets outside Europe.
Orion and Hospira have filed an appeal against the decision to the court of
appeals, and so has Sandoz.
Legal proceedings against Caraco Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Ltd.
On 12 November 2010 Orion Corporation and Hospira, Inc. jointly filed a patent
infringement lawsuit in the United States against Caraco Pharmaceutical
Laboratories, Ltd. to enforce Orion's and Hospira's joint patent No. 6,716,867
valid in the United States. Gland Pharma Ltd. has since been added as a
defendant in the lawsuit.
Caraco had submitted an application for authorisation to produce and market in
the United States a generic version of Orion's proprietary drug Precedex(®)
(dexmedetomidine hydrochloride 100 µg/ml), which is marketed in the United
States by Orion's licensee Hospira.
Orion expects the costs of the legal proceedings against Caraco to be
substantially less than the costs of the entacapone patent litigation that had
previously been pending in the United States. Consideration of the case has been
suspended pending the conclusion of the above-mentioned appeal proceedings
against the Sandoz companies concerning Patent No. 6,716,867.
Legal proceedings against Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc.
On 26 April 2012 Orion Corporation filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the
United States against Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. to enforce its US Patents Nos.
5,446,194, 6,500,867 and 6,797,732.
Mylan is seeking authorisation to produce and market generic tablets (strengths
12.5/50/200 mg; 18.75/75/200 mg; 25/100/200 mg; 31.25/125/200 mg; 37.5/150/200
mg and 50/200/200 mg) in the United States, with carbidopa, levodopa and
entacapone as active ingredients in the same proportion as in Orion's
proprietary drug Stalevo(®) for treatment of Parkinson's disease. Stalevo is an
enhanced levodopa treatment which is marketed in the United States by Orion's
exclusive licensee, Novartis.
Business Reviews
Pharmaceuticals
Review of human pharmaceuticals market
According to statistics collected by Finnish Pharmaceutical Data Ltd, Finnish
wholesale of human pharmaceuticals in January-March 2013 totalled EUR 497 (493)
million.
Finland is the most important individual market for Orion, generating about one-
quarter of the total net sales. Orion was able to increase its sales faster than
the markets as a whole and strengthened its position as leader in marketing
pharmaceuticals in Finland. According to statistics collected by Finnish
Pharmaceutical Data Ltd, Orion's wholesale of human pharmaceuticals in Finland
in January-March 2013 amounted to EUR 57 (54) million, up by 7% compared with
the previous year. Orion's market share of Finnish pharmaceuticals markets was
12% (11%).
According to IMS Health pharmaceutical sales statistics, in the 12-month period
ending in December 2012 the total sales of Parkinson's drugs in the United
States were up by 8% at USD 771 million (USD 716 million in the previous 12-
month period). The five largest European markets for Parkinson's disease drugs
were Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Italy. In these countries,
the combined sales of Parkinson's drugs totalled EUR 963 (954) million, and the
average market growth was 1%. In Japan sales of Parkinson's drugs grew by 13% to
EUR 593 (523) million.
According to IMS Health pharmaceutical sales statistics, in the 12-month period
ending in December 2012 the total sales of Parkinson's drugs containing
entacapone were USD 197 (191) million in the United States and EUR 157 (156)
million in the five largest European markets.
The most important individual therapy area for Orion is still the treatment of
Parkinson's disease. Orion's branded Parkinson's drugs containing entacapone
(Stalevo(®), Comtess(® )and Comtan(®)) account for about a quarter of the
Group's net sales. In the United States sales of these products decreased. In
Europe sales increased slightly, and in Japan sales continued to grow well and
clearly better than the market as a whole. According to IMS Health
pharmaceutical sales statistics, in the 12-month period ending in December
2012, sales of Orion's branded Parkinson's drugs in the United States were down
by 30% at USD 134 (191) million. Sales were EUR 157 (156) million in the five
largest markets in Europe, and grew by 21% to EUR 67 (56) million in Japan. The
market share of Orion's branded Parkinson's drugs was 17% in the United States,
on average 16% in the five largest European markets and 11% in Japan.
According to IMS Health pharmaceutical sales statistics, sales of Orion's
Precedex(®) intensive care sedative (dexmedetomidine) were up by 31% at USD 270
million in the 12-month period ending in December 2012 (USD 206 million in the
previous 12-month period). About four-fifths of the sales amounting to USD 213
(161) million were in the United States, where Precedex sales grew by 32%.
According to IMS Health pharmaceutical sales statistics, total sales of the most
common intravenous anaesthetics and intensive care sedatives (propofol,
midazolam, remifentanil and dexmedetomidine) were down by 3% in Europe in the
12-month period ending in December 2012 at EUR 474 (489) million. According to
IMS Health pharmaceutical sales statistics, in the 12-month period ending in
December 2012 sales of Orion's dexdor(®) intensive care sedative
(dexmedetomidine) were EUR 12 million in Europe.
Net sales and operating profit of the Pharmaceuticals business
Net sales of the Pharmaceuticals business in January-March 2013 were EUR 234
(233) million. The operating profit of the Pharmaceuticals business was down by
6% at EUR 74 (79) million. The operating profit of the Pharmaceuticals business
was 32% (34%) of the segment's net sales.
Net sales of Orion's top ten pharmaceuticals in January-March 2013 were EUR 118
(117) million. They accounted for 50% (50%) of the total net sales of the
Pharmaceuticals business.
Proprietary Products
The product portfolio of Proprietary Products consists of patented prescription
products in three therapy areas: central nervous system diseases, oncology and
critical care, and Easyhaler(®) pulmonary drugs.
Net sales of Proprietary Products in January-March 2013 were EUR 100 (99)
million.
Orion's branded drugs for treatment of Parkinson's disease are Stalevo(®)
(active ingredients carbidopa, levodopa and entacapone) and Comtess(®)/Comtan(®)
(entacapone), and their net sales in January-March 2013 totalled EUR 60 (63)
million. Sales of Parkinson's drugs were down by 5% and accounted for 26% (27%)
of the total net sales of the Pharmaceuticals business. Net sales from
deliveries of Stalevo and Comtan to Novartis were down by 3% at EUR 38 (40)
million. Deliveries of Stalevo to Novartis were up by 9% at EUR 25 (23) million
and deliveries of Comtan were down by 20% at EUR 13 (16) million. Total net
sales generated by Stalevo and Comtess in Orion's own sales organisation were
down by 8% at EUR 22 (24) million. Sales through Orion's own sales network were
down by 4% at EUR 20 (21) million for Stalevo and down by 34% at EUR 2 (3)
million for Comtess.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has an ongoing safety review of
Stalevo, which began in spring 2009. Orion is assisting the FDA in undertaking
the safety review. The FDA has requested additional data based on databases
concerning the significance of the results of the STRIDE-PD study, and
consequently Orion and Novartis have undertaken epidemiological studies and
results from them were submitted to authorities for review in the third quarter
of 2012.
Net sales of Simdax(®), a drug for treatment of acute decompensated heart
failure, in January-March 2013 were up by 4% at EUR 11 (10) million.
Total net sales of the Easyhaler(®) product family for treatment of asthma and
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were down by 11% in January-March 2013 at
EUR 6 (7) million. Sales of Easyhaler products through Orion's own sales network
in Europe continued to grow strongly. Sales during the review period reflected
the repatriation of rights to Easyhaler products in Europe in 2012 and the
related transitional phase, consequently total sales of the Easyhaler product
family were lower than in the comparative period.
Net sales of the Precedex(®) intensive care sedative (dexmedetomidine) were up
by 16% in January-March 2013 at EUR 12 (10) million. In the United States and
markets outside Europe the sedative is sold by Orion's partner Hospira. US
markets account for about four-fifths of net sales of Precedex. In March Hospira
announced it had been granted six months paediatric exclusivity for Precedex(®)
in the United States, so generic competition in the United States is expected to
commence at the earliest in January 2014.
Net sales of Orion's dexdor(®) intensive care sedative (dexmedetomidine) in
January-March 2013 were up by 156% at EUR 6 (2) million. Early this year the
product was launched in Italy, Spain and France, and it is now available in
almost all European countries.
Specialty Products
Net sales of the Specialty Products business division's off-patent, i.e. generic
prescription drugs and self-care products in January-March 2013 were up by 6% at
EUR 96 (90) million.
Net sales of Orion's human pharmaceuticals in Finland in January-March 2013 were
up by 7% at EUR 63 (59) million. Specialty Products accounted for the majority
of sales. Orion managed to increase its sales, especially in prescription drugs.
Net sales of Orion's human pharmaceuticals in Eastern Europe and Russia in
January-March 2013 were up by 8% at altogether EUR 15 (14) million. Specialty
Products account for the majority of sales in the region.
Animal Health
In the Nordic countries and some Eastern European markets Orion itself sells
veterinary drugs, and in other markets the Company operates through partners. In
addition, in the Nordic countries Orion markets and sells veterinary drugs
manufactured by several international companies. Orion's Animal Health business
division has a strong market position in the Nordic countries, its home markets.
Net sales of the Animal Health business division in January-March 2013 were down
by 19% at EUR 15 (18) million. Sales of the animal sedatives at EUR 5 (6)
million accounted for 33% (35%) of the division's net sales. Orion's animal
sedatives are Dexdomitor(®) (dexmedetomidine), Domitor(®) (medetomidine),
Domosedan(®) (detomidine) and Antisedan(®) (atipamezole).
Fermion
Fermion manufactures active pharmaceutical ingredients for Orion and other
pharmaceutical companies. Its product range comprises nearly 30 pharmaceutical
ingredients. Fermion's net sales in January-March 2013 excluding pharmaceutical
ingredients supplied for Orion's own use were down by 16% at EUR 13 (16) million
and accounted for about two-thirds of Fermion's entire net sales. Several key
products performed well, even though competition in the markets remained
intense. Capacity utilisation at Fermion's plants was very high during the
period under review. Capacity utilisation was increased by manufacturing active
ingredients required for development work on Orion's own proprietary drugs, in
addition to the normal product range.
Research and development projects
The Group's R&D expenses in January-March 2013 were up by 7% at EUR 25 (23)
million, of which the Pharmaceuticals business accounted for EUR 22 (21)
million. The Group's R&D expenses accounted for 10% (9%) of the Group's net
sales. R&D expenses also include expenses relating to development of the current
portfolio.
Orion has ongoing projects to broaden the range of the inhalable Easyhaler(®)
drugs product family. Orion submitted an application for marketing authorisation
for a combined budesonide-formoterol formulation in Europe in March, and the
application is being processed. In this formulation, budesonide acts as an anti-
inflammatory agent and formoterol acts as a long-acting bronchodilator. In
addition, Orion has another Easyhaler research programme in progress to develop
a combined fluticasone-salmeterol formulation. In this formulation fluticasone
acts as an anti-inflammatory agent and salmeterol acts as a long-acting
bronchodilator.
Orion is collaborating with Novartis to develop Stalevo(®) drug for the Japanese
markets. Novartis initiated the necessary clinical bioavailability study in
November 2012.
Orion is continuing to develop an androgen receptor antagonist (ODM-201) for the
treatment of advanced prostate cancer jointly with Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc.
with the objective of approval of the drug globally. Phase I/II clinical trials
on safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics showed that initial results concerning
efficacy were promising, and the product was well tolerated with no significant
adverse events detected. Results were presented at the ESMO international
oncology congress at the end of September 2012 and ASCO GU 2012 symposium in
mid-February 2013. Development of the product is now in Phase II clinical
trials. Negotiations to find a suitable partner for markets outside Europe and
North America are ongoing.
Orion has completed Phase II clinical trials with an alpha-2c adrenoceptor
antagonist (ORM-12741). The trials investigated the efficacy and safety of the
drug candidate in treatment of cognitive and behavioural symptoms relating to
Alzheimer's disease. Positive results from Phase IIa clinical trials were
presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology in mid-
March 2013. Negotiations to find a suitable partner for the next development
phase are ongoing.
Orion is developing a new more effective levodopa product (ODM-101) based on
optimised new formulations and doses of known compounds. Results obtained from
Phase II clinical trials in 2012 were positive, and they were presented at the
annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology in mid-March 2013. The
search for a suitable collaboration approach for the next development phase is
ongoing.
Orion has ongoing Phase I clinical safety trials with a new COMT inhibitor (ODM-
103). It is a new molecule that enhances the therapeutic effects of levodopa
used to treat Parkinson's disease by blocking the COMT enzyme. The pre-clinical
study results indicated that the new molecule is more effective than the COMT
inhibitor entacapone, which is already in the markets.
In addition, Orion has several projects in the early research phase
investigating prostate cancer, neuropathic pain, Parkinson's disease and
Alzheimer's disease, among others.
Diagnostics
Orion Diagnostica manufactures convenient and quick in vitro diagnostic tests
and testing systems suitable for point-of-care testing. Net sales of the
Diagnostics business in January-March 2013 were up by 2% at EUR 16 (16) million.
QuikRead(®) infection tests remained the main product, with sales continuing
strong in the review period. Sales of the more user-friendly prefilled QuikRead
101 system and QuikRead go(®), a new generation testing instrument, developed
well.
The operating profit of the Diagnostics business was down by 8% at EUR 2.3 (2.5)
million mainly due to higher research and development expenses.
After the review period, on 10 April 2013 Orion Diagnostica gave a negotiation
proposal, as laid down in the Finnish Act on Co-operation within Undertakings,
on streamlining operations, reorganising production and possible personnel
reductions. The measures under consideration are intended to streamline
operations and improve the Company's profitability by among other things
simplifying the product portfolio. Through the measures under consideration,
Orion Diagnostica aims to ensure the continuity of operations and
competitiveness in the future too.

Appendices
Reporting
Orion Corporation is the parent company of the Orion Group. The Group consists
of two business areas, or operating segments, and five business divisions. Orion
reports on its operations segmentally.
* Pharmaceuticals business
* Proprietary Products (patented prescription products for three therapy
areas)
* Specialty Products (off-patent, generic prescription products and self-
care products)
* Animal Health (veterinary products for pets and production animals)
* Fermion (active pharmaceutical ingredients for Orion and other
companies)
* Diagnostics business
* Orion Diagnostica (diagnostic test systems for point-of-care in
healthcare and hygiene tests for industry).
Contract manufacturing and other, i.e. manufacturing for other companies, is
included in the Pharmaceuticals business segment, but it is not a separate
business division, it is part of the Group's Supply Chain organisation.
Accounting policies
This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting standard. The same accounting policies as for the Financial
Statements for 2012 have been applied in preparing the Interim Report, except
for amendments to existing IFRS and IAS standards endorsed by the EU that have
been adopted as of 1 January 2013. The amendments to IFRS standards had no
effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements. The effects of the amendment to
the IAS 19 standard on the Consolidated Financial Statements are described in
more detail below.
Effect of amendment to IAS 19 Employee Benefits standard on the Orion Group's
Consolidated Financial Statements
The Orion Group has changed its accounting procedure concerning defined benefit
plans to comply with the requirements of the amended IAS 19 Employee Benefits
standard. The Group has stopped using the corridor approach and, in accordance
with the amended standard, recognises all amounts arising from remeasurement of
defined benefit plan assets directly into the components of other comprehensive
income. The Group continues the accounting procedure of function-based
recognition of net interest arising from the plan assets through service costs
above the operating profit. The accounting policy in accordance with the amended
standard has been applied retroactively as of 1 January 2013.
The restated figures in the Orion Group's Consolidated Statement of
Comprehensive Income and Statement of Financial Position and key figures for the
financial year 2012 are presented by annual quarters in the table appended to
this Interim Report. The amendment to the IAS 19 standard decreased the
operating profit for the 2012 financial year by EUR 2.6 million. The net effect
of the amendment on equity at 31 December 2012 was EUR -1.8 million. The
amendment decreased the equity at 1 January 2012 by EUR 25.4 million, but
increased the equity during the 2012 financial year by EUR 23.6 million.
The policies and calculation methods applied during the period can be found on
the Orion website at www.orion.fi/en/investors/.
