   INTERIM REPORT 14 AUG 2014 



OLVI GROUP'S INTERIM REPORT, 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2014 (6 MONTHS)

The entire Group's sales volume was almost on a par with the previous year.
Extremely cold weather in the early summer took its toll on second-quarter
sales volumes. Olvi's position remained strong in all market areas.
Consolidated operating profit fell short of the previous year but relative
profitability remained good. The earnings outlook for 2014 remains unchanged:
sales volume and net sales are expected to slightly increase, and operating
profit is estimated to remain at the healthy level of 2013. 

January-June in brief:

- The entire Group's net sales declined by 6.7 percent to 159.3 (170.7) million
euro mostly due to the decline in the parent company's net sales 

- The Group's operating profit declined to 19.3 (22.8) million euro mainly due
to weakened performance in the parent company 

- The Group's equity to total assets ratio remained at a healthy level of 50.5%
(50.0%) 

- Gross capital expenditure increased to 23.5 (13.3) million euro. The
expenditure was spent on increasing production capacity and improving
production efficiency 

- The entire Group's sales volume diminished slightly by 1.1 percent to 278.9
(282.0) million litres due to a decline in the parent company's sales 

- Business performance in the Baltic states was better than in the previous
year: sales increased by 7.5 percent to 148.8 (138.5) million litres, net sales
improved by 3.3 percent to 79.7 (77.2) million euro and operating profit
improved by 3.6 percent to 10.2 (9.8) million euro 

- Sales in Belarus increased by 4.3 percent to 81.1 (77.8) million litres, net
sales increased by 4.0 percent to 36.7 (35.3) million euro, and operating
profit remained almost at the previous year's level at 5.7 (5.8) million euro

Lasse Aho, Managing Director of Olvi plc, said the following in connection with
the disclosure of the accounts: “Performance from January to June was in line
with the budget. Business developed favourably in the Baltic states and also
sustained a healthy level in Belarus. Factors contributing to the deterioration
of performance in Finland included the impacts of excise tax hikes, the
diminishing Finnish beverage markets, clearly intensified price competition
within the industry, strong growth in tax-free tourist imports, and diminished
exports of soft drinks. Extremely cold weather that lasted all of June impacted
second-quarter sales volumes in all of the Group's operating countries. We
believe that the exceptionally long period of hot weather will have a positive
effect on sales volumes for the late summer. 



OLVI GROUP'S SALES VOLUME, NET SALES AND EARNINGS IN JANUARY-JUNE 2014

The parent company's sales declined by 12.7 million litres, which was mainly
due to diminished sales volumes in soft drink exports. Sales within Finland

SALES VOLUME, NET SALES AND EARNINGS BY GEOGRAPHICAL SEGMENT IN JANUARY-JUNE
2014 



Seasonal nature of the operations



The Group's business operations are characterised by seasonal variation. The
net sales and operating profit from the reported geographical segments do not
accumulate evenly but vary according to the time of the year, the conditions
and and the variation between seasons. Most of the Group's earnings is
accumulated during the second and third quarters. 





PARENT COMPANY OLVI PLC (Olvi)



January to June 2014



According to statistics by the Federation of the Brewing and Soft Drinks
Industry, the Finnish beverage market in January-June diminished by 15 million
litres or four percent compared to the previous year. Sales declined in all
product groups. The greatest reasons for the sales decline were the excise tax
hikes effective as of the beginning of 2014, increasing private imports and
extremely cold weather in June. Consumer purchasing power has also weakened due
to the poor economic situation and tax hikes. 



Sales of alcoholic beverages declined by more than three percent while sales of
non-alcoholic beverages declined by five percent. The sales volume declined by
three percent in beers, almost six percent in ciders and more than two percent
in long drinks. Total sales of soft drinks in January-June declined by almost
five percent and the sales of mineral waters by almost six percent. (Federation
of the Brewing and Soft Drinks Industry, June 2014). 



Olvi's domestic sales in the first half of the year were almost on a par with
the previous year, and sales declined less than the entire industry's sales,
thanks to which Olvi's overall market position strengthened in January-June,
from 17.8 percent to 18.2 percent compared to the previous year. 



Olvi's total sales in January-June amounted to 72.4 (85.1) million litres.
Sales declined by 12.7 million litres or 14.9 percent. The major reason for the
substantial decline in sales was that exports of Angry Birds soft drinks into
Russia diminished greatly in comparison to the initial launch in the comparison
period. The decline in soft drink exports was also affected by substantial
devaluation of the Russian rouble. Any decline in the exchange rate of the
rouble will increase the retail prices of imported foodstuffs in Russia.
However, the exports of beer increased in the review period. 



Among Olvi's main product groups in Finland, the sales of beers increased
slightly and the sales of ciders increased clearly, while the entire industry's
sales were declining. The sales of long drinks declined clearly. The sales of
soft drinks declined clearly due to a sales dip in Angry Birds beverages. The
sales of mineral waters declined slightly but the decline was smaller than that
of the industry. 



According to statistics by the Federation of the Brewing and Soft Drinks
Industry, Olvi's market share in alcoholic beverages (beers, ciders and long
drinks) increased in January-June 2014 to 24 (23) percent. The market share in
non-alcoholic beverages was 9 (9) percent. 



Olvi's exports and tax-free sales declined substantially during the review
period, amounting to 4.7 (15.5) million litres. The decline in exports was due
to a halt in soft drink exports into Russia. However, tax free sales to ships
and harbour sales increased clearly in the review period. Exports and tax-free
sales represented 6.6 (18.2) percent of total sales. 



Olvi's net sales from January to June declined to 52.5 (67.5) million euro. Net
sales declined by 15.0 million euro or 22.3 percent. The average price of net
sales was affected by greatly intensified price competition and a change in
consumption habits towards a lower price bracket due to a decline in consumer
purchasing power. 



Olvi's operating profit also declined in the review period. Operating profit
stood at 4.2 (7.1) million euro, which was 7.9 (10.5) percent of net sales. The
operating profit declined by 2.9 million euro or 41.4 percent. Furthermore, the
earnings included 0.7 million euro of write-downs on unsaleable inventories and
package scrapping costs. The company was also unable to adapt its costs to the
diminished sales volume quickly enough. 



Olvi's operating profit in January-June included 0.7 million euro of sales
gains arising from the sales of production machinery to the Lithuanian
subsidiary. 



April to June 2014



The parent company's sales in the second quarter declined by 4.0 million litres
or 8.3 percent to 44.6 (48.6) million litres. 



Net sales amounted to 31.5 (38.0) million euro, representing a decline of 6.5
million euro or 17.0 percent. 



Operating profit in April-June stood at 2.9 (4.3) million euro, or 9.2 (11.2)
percent of net sales. The operating profit declined by 1.4 million euro or 31.8
percent in the second quarter. 



Reasons for the declines in sales volume, net sales and earnings are described
above in connection with accumulated earnings. 



AS A. LE COQ (A. Le Coq)



January to June 2014



In the Estonian beverage market, the consumption of ciders and waters increased
during the first half of the year. Also the consumption of beers saw a slight
upturn after a long-lasting downward trend. The consumption of long drinks and
soft drinks declined slightly and juices saw a drop of more than 11 percent.
(Nielsen, April-May 2014). 



The Estonian subsidiary A. Le Coq's sales volume from January to June almost
matched the previous year at 66.7 (67.0) million litres. Sales declined by 0.3
million litres or 0.4 percent. 



The sales of A. Le Coq waters increased in the domestic market while the sales
of long drinks and soft drinks were on a par with the previous year. The sales
of beers declined slightly while the sales of ciders and juices saw a clear
drop compared to the previous year. 



A. Le Coq has still retained its good position in the Estonian beverage market.
The company is the clear market leader in long drinks and juices. In the first
half of 2014, the company has become the market leader in beers by a slim
margin. In ciders and soft drinks the company is the clear number two player.
In waters, the company is close to the second position in terms of volume but
the clear market leader in terms of value. (Nielsen, April-May 2014). 


Exports and tourist sales made up 26 percent of the company's total sales.



A. Le Coq's net sales in the first half of the year amounted to 41.1 (42.1)
million euro, a decline of 1.0 million euro or 2.4 percent. 



In spite of the decline in net sales, the company's operating profit for
January-June improved on the previous year. Operating profit stood at 8.3 (8.0)
million euro, which was 20.1 (19.0) percent of net sales. The operating profit
improved by 0.3 million euro or 3.3 percent. 



April to June 2014



A. Le Coq's second-quarter sales increased slightly by 0.4 million litres or
1.1 percent, ending up at 41.5 (41.1) million litres. Net sales from April to
June amounted to 25.3 (26.2) million euro. Net sales declined by 0.9 million
euro or 3.5 percent. 



The company was able to slightly improve its profitability during the second
quarter. A. Le Coq's operating profit was 6.1 (5.9) million euro or 24.1 (22.4)
percent of net sales. The operating profit improved by 0.2 million euro or 3.7
percent. 



A/S CESU ALUS (Cesu Alus)



January to June



In the Latvian beverage market, there was a healthy upward trend in total sales
of beers and long drinks. However, a decline continued in ciders. (Nielsen,
April-May 2014). 



The company's sales in January-June amounted to 43.2 (39.6) million litres.
Sales increased by 3.6 million litres or 9.0 percent. The sales increase was
mainly attributable to internal sales to other Olvi Group companies. 



During the reporting period, Cesu Alus's domestic sales of beers increased
slightly on the previous year. The sales of long drinks and soft drinks
(including kvass) increased while the sales of ciders declined clearly. 



Cesu Alus is the market leader in the declining cider market. The company is
also the market leader in long drinks. During the first half of 2014, the
company's market share in beers has gradually increased towards the
market-leading position. (Nielsen, May 2014). 



Cesu Alus's net sales from January to June amounted to 19.9 (19.1) million
euro, representing an increase of 0.8 million euro or 4.1 percent. 



Operating profit in January-June stood at 1.3 (1.6) million euro, or 6.6 (8.5)
percent of net sales. The operating profit declined by 0.3 million euro or 19.1
percent. The decline in operating profit was due to deteriorated profitability
caused by the decline in average price of net sales. 



April to June 2014



Cesu Alus's second quarter fell short of the previous year due to intensified
competition in the Latvian beverage market and the record-breaking cold weather
in June. 



Cesu Alus's sales in the second quarter amounted to 24.9 (24.1) million litres,
representing an increase of 0.8 million litres or 3.5 percent. Net sales
amounted to 11.6 (11.9) million euro, representing a decline of 0.3 million
euro or 2.7 percent on the previous year. 



The company's operating profit in April-June stood at 1.0 (1.5) million euro,
or 8.7 (12.7) percent of net sales. The operating profit declined by 0.5
million euro or 33.9 percent. 



AB VOLFAS ENGELMAN (Volfas Engelman)



January to June



In the overall Lithuanian beverage market, the sales of beers increased while
the sales of long drinks declined clearly on the previous year. The decline in
cider sales was substantial. (Nielsen, April-May 2014). 



Volfas Engelman's sales volume, net sales and operating profit developed well
also in the second quarter. Sales amounted to 39.0 (32.0) million litres,
representing an increase of 7.0 million litres or 22.0 percent. 



The sales of the company's beers and long drinks in the domestic market
increased substantially. The drop in cider sales was smaller than that of the
overall cider market. The sales of soft drinks (including kvass) declined
slightly on the previous year. 



Volfas Engelman has further improved its position in the Lithuanian beverage
market. The company is the clear market leader in long drinks and kvass, and it
has clearly improved its market share in comparison with the previous year. In
the beer market, the company shares the number two position with another
player. (Nielsen, April-May 2014). 



Exports made 3.2 (3.4) percent of the company's total sales.



The company's net sales from January to June amounted to 18.8 (16.0) million
euro. Thanks to good sales development, net sales increased by 2.8 million euro
or 17.3 percent. 



Thanks to good performance in the second quarter, operating profit increased to
0.6 (0.2) million euro compared to the previous year. Operating profit came to
3.3 (1.4) percent of net sales. The improvement in operating profit was
attributable to good development in sales volumes and cost-cutting. 



April to June 2014



Volfas Engelman performed well in the second quarter. The company's sales
volume from April to June amounted to 23.0 (18.6) million litres, representing
an increase of 4.4 million litres or 23.5 percent. Second-quarter net sales
increased by 1.7 million euro or 17.5 percent to 11.1 (9.4) million euro. 



The company's operating profit improved substantially during the second
quarter. Operating profit stood at 0.7 (0.4) million euro, which was 6.6 (4.7)
percent of net sales. The operating profit increased by 0.3 million euro. 



OAO LIDSKOE PIVO (Lidskoe Pivo)



January to June 2014



The overall beverage market in Belarus saw an upward trend from January to
June.  The sales of beers remained on the previous year's level while the sales
of juice drinks and waters improved substantially. A good uptrend was also seen
in soft drinks during the first half of the year. The sales of kvass and ciders
declined. (Nielsen, April-May 2014). 



In terms of sales volume, Lidskoe Pivo's year 2014 got a historically good
start but the cold weather in early summer had a substantial impact on
second-quarter earnings. The company's sales in January-June amounted to 81.1
(77.8) million litres. Sales increased by 3.3 million litres or 4.3 percent on
the previous year. 



The sales of waters in the domestic market increased substantially. A clear
increase was also seen in juice drinks. The sales of beers remained on a par
with the previous year but the sales of ciders declined by almost one-fifth.
The sales of soft drinks (including kvass) declined clearly. 



Lidskoe Pivo stepped up to the number two position in the beer market in
April-May. The company is clearly the number two player in juice drinks. Its
market share in soft drinks declined slightly but it is clearly the market
leader in kvass as well as ciders. The company's market share in waters is
gradually increasing. (Nielsen, April-May 2014). 



Lidskoe Pivo's exports increased substantially in the review period, by 39.3
percent. Exports accounted for 19.2 (14.4) percent of total sales. The main
destination for exports was Russia. 



The company's net sales in January-June increased by 1.4 million euro or 4.0
percent on the previous year, amounting to 36.7 (35.3) million euro. 



Operating profit in January-June was almost on a par with the previous year at
5.7 (5.8) million euro, or 15.5 (16.5) percent of net sales. 



April to June 2014



Lidskoe Pivo's sales volume got a good start in the second quarter but the
extremely cold weather in June had a substantial impact on quarterly
performance. The company's second-quarter sales increased to 51.2 (50.6)
million litres. This represents an increase of 0.6 million litres or 1.1
percent. 



Net sales stood at 24.0 (22.7) million euro, an increase of 1.3 million euro or
5.5 percent. The increase in net sales outperformed the sales volume growth in
April-June. 



The company's profitability remained on a healthy level in the second quarter. 
Operating profit stood at 5.1 (5.7) million euro, which was 21.3 (25.1) percent
of net sales. The operating profit declined by 0.6 million euro or 10.6 percent
on the previous year.

BUSINESS RISKS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT

Risk management is a part of Olvi Group's everyday management and operations.
It increases corporate security and contributes to the achievement of
operational targets. The objective of risk management is to operate proactively
and create operating conditions in which business risks are managed
comprehensively and systematically in all of the Group companies and all levels
of the organisation. In addition to the company itself, risk management
benefits its personnel, customers, shareholders and other related groups. 

The objective of risk management is to ensure the realisation of the company's
strategy and secure the continuity of business. Olvi Group identifies,
assesses, manages and monitors its crucial risks regularly. With regard to
identified risks, the effects, scope and probability of realisation are
assessed together with the means of eliminating or reducing the risk.
Furthermore, risk management aims to identify and utilise any business
opportunities that may arise. 



Strategic and operational risks

Olvi Group's strategic risks refer to risks related to the characteristics of
the company's business and strategic choices. The Group's operations are
located in several countries that differ substantially in terms of their social
and economic situations and the phases and directions of development. For
example, strategic risks relate to changes in tax legislation and other
regulations, the operating environment and foreign exchange markets. If
realised, strategic risks can substantially hamper the company's operational
preconditions. The Group's most substantial identified strategic risks relate
to Belarus, particularly the situation in the country's economy and politics. 

The Group's most substantial identified operational risks relate to the
procurement and quality of raw materials, the production process, markets and
customers, information security and systems, as well as changes in foreign
exchange rates. 

Financing risks

Olvi Group operates internationally, and its business involves risks arising
from exchange rate fluctuations. Foreign exchange risks arise from the cash
flows of purchases and sales in foreign currency, as well as investments in
foreign subsidiaries and the conversion of their balance sheet items into euro.
Foreign exchange risk is reduced by the fact that most of the Group's product
sales and raw material purchases are denominated in euro. 

The objective of financing risk management is to minimise the adverse effects
of changes in the financial markets on the Group's financial performance,
shareholders' equity and liquidity. The general principles of the Group's risk
management are approved by the Board of Directors of the parent company, and
the parent company's management together with the management of subsidiaries is
responsible for their practical implementation. Responsibility for Olvi Group's
financing tasks is centralised in the parent company Olvi. The objectives of
centralisation include optimisation of cash flows and financing costs, as well
as efficient risk management. 

There have not been any significant changes in Olvi Group's business risks
since the closing of the accounts 2013. A more detailed description of the
risks is provided in the Board of Directors' report and the notes to the
financial statements. Financing risks are also described in more detail in the
Investors section of the corporate Web site. 

BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN THE NEAR TERM



The economic situation in Europe has turned more positive even though
instability is still seen in individual countries. However, the unemployment
rate is still high. Weakened consumer purchasing power leads to a choice of
less expensive products. Demand in Finland is also held back by the highest
excise tax rates within the European Union. 



The continuation of the Ukrainian crisis and increased tension affect the
development of the Russian rouble and therefore exports to Russia. Olvi is
putting effort to increasing exports into Russia particularly from Belarus,
which is in a customs union with Russia. 



Another substantial factor hampering the predictability of Olvi Group's
business still relates to Belarus and its economic outlook for the next few
years. The IAS 29 standard “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies”
will be applied at least until the end of 2014. 

NEAR-TERM OUTLOOK

The full-year sales volumes and net sales in 2014 are expected to grow slightly
in the current accounting period. The operating profit for 2014 is expected to
be on a par with the healthy level of 2013.

The registered share capital on 30 June 2014 totalled 20,759 thousand euro.

Olvi plc's Series A and Series K shares received a dividend of 0.65 euro per
share for 2013 (0.50 euro per share for 2012), totalling 13.5 (10.4) million
euro. The dividends were paid on 30 April 2014. The Series K and Series A
shares entitle to equal dividend. The Articles of Association include a
redemption clause concerning Series K shares. 

5. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Olvi plc's Board of Directors decided on 29 April 2014 on a share-based
incentive scheme for Olvi Group's key personnel. 

The purpose of the scheme is to combine the objectives of shareholders and key
personnel to improve the Company's value, make key personnel committed to the
Company and provide them with a competitive bonus scheme based on earning
shares in the company. 

The scheme has one vesting period of three calendar years, the years 2014 to
2016. Any bonus from the scheme for the vesting period 2014 to 2016 is based on
the Group's accumulated operating profit (EBIT). 

Furthermore, the share-based incentive scheme has a three-year vesting period
starting on 1 July 2014 and ending on 30 June 2017. Receiving a bonus for this
vesting period requires that the key person purchases shares in the company to
the amount decided by the Board of Directors. Furthermore, entitlement to a
bonus is bound to the validity of the key person's employment or service
contract at the time the bonus is paid. 

The bonuses for both vesting periods will be paid in 2017 partially in Olvi plc
Series A shares and partially in cash. The purpose of the cash portion is to
cover taxes and other statutory fees levied on the key person due to the bonus.
If the key person's employment or service contract terminates before the
payment of the bonus, the principal rule is that no bonus will be paid. 

The members of the company's Management Group must hold one-half of the shares
received on the basis of the vesting period 2014-2016 for the duration of their
employment or service contract. 

The target group of the share-based incentive scheme includes approximately 50
people. The total bonuses paid on the basis of the scheme amount to an
approximate maximum of 40,000 Olvi plc Series A shares and the amount of cash
required to pay the taxes and other statutory fees arising from the shares. 

No accounting entries associated with the 2014-2016 vesting period were
recognised in January-June 2014. 

Olvi Group has no warrants or options.

6. TREASURY SHARES

Olvi plc held a total of 1,124 of its own Series A shares on 1 January 2014.

Olvi plc has not acquired more treasury shares or transferred them to others in
January-June 2014, which means that the number of Series A shares held by the
company was unchanged on 30 June 2014. The purchase price of the Series A
shares held as treasury shares totalled 8.5 thousand euro. 

Series A shares held by Olvi plc as treasury shares represented 0.005 percent
of the share capital and 0.001 percent of the aggregate number of votes. The
treasury shares represented 0.007 percent of all Series A shares and associated
votes. 

On 16 April 2014, the General Meeting of Shareholders of Olvi plc decided to
revoke any unused authorisations to acquire treasury shares and authorise the
Board of Directors of Olvi plc to decide on the acquisition of the company's
own shares using distributable funds. The authorisation is valid for one year
starting from the General Meeting and covers a maximum of 500,000 Series A
shares. 

The Annual General Meeting also decided to revoke all existing unused
authorisations for the transfer of own shares and authorise the Board of
Directors to decide on the issue of a maximum of 1,000,000 new Series A shares
and the transfer of a maximum of 500,000 Series A shares held as treasury
shares. 

In January-June 2014, the Board of Directors of Olvi plc has not exercised the
authorisations granted by the General Meeting.
