contraction of 0.4% for 2013.

NET SALES AND PROFIT PERFORMANCE

The Group's consolidated net sales for January-June showed a 3.9% decline
compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. Net sales came to
EUR 22.6 million (EUR 23.5 million). External net sales from the publishing
business fell by 7.0%. Advertising revenues fell by 13% and circulation
revenues fell by 0.2%. The decrease in net sales from the publishing business
was caused by a weaker advertising market. External net sales from the printing
business increased by 17.3%. Circulation income accounted for 43% of
consolidated net sales, while advertising income and printing income
represented 42% and 16%, respectively. 

For Q2, net sales decreased by 1.3% and totalled EUR 11.6 million (EUR 11.7
million). External net sales from the publishing business fell by 5.4%.
Advertising revenues fell by 11.2%, and circulation revenues increased by 1.5%.
External net sales from the printing business increased by 27.0%. Circulation
income accounted for 42% of consolidated net sales in April-June, while
advertising income and printing income represented 42% and 17%, respectively. 

Other operating income in January-June totalled EUR 0.2 million (EUR 0.2
million) and in April-June EUR 0.1 million (EUR 0.1 million). 

Operating expenses for January-June amounted to EUR 20.4 million (EUR 20.8
million), down by 2.2% year on year. For April-June, operating expenses
amounted to EUR 10.1 million (EUR 10.5 million), down 3.5%. For January-June,
expenses arising from materials and services increased by 3.7%. Personnel
expenses decreased by 2.1%. In cooperation with employees, voluntary cost
savings measures were agreed in May 2013, corresponding to approximately one
week of holiday pay leave in 2013. Other operating costs decreased by 1.8%.
Depreciation contracted by 31.3%. 

The share of the associated companies' result for January-June was EUR 3.7
million (EUR 3.1 million). Consolidated operating profit amounted to EUR 6.1
million (EUR 6,0 million), up by 2.8 per cent year-on-year. The Group's
operating margin was 27.1 per cent (25.3%). Operating profit excluding Alma
Media Corporation and the other associated companies amounted to EUR 2.4
million (EUR 2.9 million), representing 10.6% (12.3%) of net sales. Operating
profit from publishing fell by EUR 0.6 million, and operating profit from
printing grew by EUR 0.2 million. 

For April-June, the share of the associated companies' result was EUR 2.3
million (EUR 1.2 million). Consolidated operating profit amounted to EUR 3.9
million (EUR 2.6 million). Operating profit increased 50.4% from the
corresponding period. The Group's operating margin was 33.3% (21.9%) in
April-June. Operating profit excluding Alma Media Corporation and the other
associated companies amounted to EUR 1.5 million (EUR 1.3 million),
representing 13.3% (11.3%) of net sales. For the second quarter, operating
profit from publishing remained roughly the same in euro terms as in the
previous year. Operating profit from printing grew by EUR 0.2 million. 

Net financial income for January-June amounted to EUR 0.3 million (net
financial expenses in the corresponding period of the previous year EUR 1.4
million). Net gain/loss on shares held for trading was EUR -0.04 million (EUR
-0.3 million). Interest expenses excluding the fair value change in derivatives
hedging them totalled EUR 0.9 million (EUR 1.2 million). In order to hedge
against interest rate risk, in 2010 the company transformed some of its
floating-rate liabilities into fixed-rate liabilities, by means of interest
rate swaps. Given that the Group does not apply hedge accounting, unrealised
changes in the market value of the interest rate swaps are recognised through
profit or loss. In January-June 2013, the market value of these interest rate
swaps grew by EUR 0.6 million (in January-June 2012, the market value fell by
EUR 0.6 million). 

Net financial income for April-June amounted to EUR 0.5 million (net financial
expenses in the corresponding period of the previous year EUR 0.7 million). Net
gain/loss on shares held for trading was EUR -0.03 million (EUR -0.4 million).
Interest expenses excluding the fair value change in derivatives hedging them
totalled EUR 0.4 million (EUR 0.5 million). In April-June 2013, the market
value of interest rate swaps grew by EUR 0.4 million (in April-June 2012, the
market value fell by EUR 0.3 million). 

Pre-tax profits for January-June totalled EUR 6.4 million (EUR 4.5 million).
Direct taxes amounted to EUR 0.5 million (EUR 0.2 million), and the Group's net
profit for the period totalled EUR 5.9 million (EUR 4.3 million). The Group's
net profit for the second quarter totalled EUR 4.0 million (EUR 1.9 million). 

BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCING

The consolidated balance sheet total came to EUR 164.2 million (EUR 183.6
million), with EUR 82.5 million (EUR 98.6 million) of equity. On the reporting
date of 30 June 2013, the balance sheet value of the holding in the associated
company Alma Media Corporation was EUR 128.8 million and the market value of
the shares was EUR 58.2 million. According to the management's estimate, there
is currently no need for an impairment write-down of this holding. 

Interest-bearing liabilities totalled EUR 68.1 million (EUR 71.3 million). The
equity ratio was 51.8 per cent (55.2%), and shareholders' equity per share
stood at EUR 3.21 (EUR 3.84). The decrease in financial assets for the first
half of the year totalled EUR 0.4 million (EUR 8.9 million), with liquid assets
at the end of the period totalling EUR 1.8 million (Q2/2012: EUR 2.0 million). 

Cash flow from operations for the period came to EUR 6.1 million (EUR 6.4
million). This includes EUR 3.9 million (EUR -2.6 million) from the Group's own
operations as well as EUR 2.2 million (EUR 9.0 million) of dividend income from
Alma Media Corporation. Due to VAT changes, 2012 subscription fees for the

6.6 million in December 2011. Cash flow from investments totalled EUR -0.3
million (EUR 0.1 million). 

SHARE PERFORMANCE

Helsinki List, in the Consumer Services sector, the company's market value
being classified as Mid Cap. The Series I shares are listed on the Pre List. 

In January-June, 30,469 series-I shares of Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj were traded,

RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

In the current economic climate, major uncertainties are associated with the
predictability of both net sales and operating profit. Ilkka-Yhtymä's most
significant short-term risks are related to the development of media
advertising, in particular, as well as circulation and printing volumes, which
affect the industry in general. Other risks associated with the Group's own
operations and its holding in associated company Alma Media Corporation are
described in more detail in the Annual Report 2012. 

The Group's major financial risks include credit risk of the Group's operative
business, the risk associated with the price of shares held for trading,
liquidity risk and the risk of changes in market interest rates applied to the
loan portfolio. In order to hedge against interest rate risk, on 21 December
2010 the company transformed some of its floating-rate liabilities to a fixed
rate, by means of interest rate swaps. Given that the Group does not apply
hedge accounting, changes in the market value of the interest rate swap are
recognised through profit and loss. Other financial risks are discussed in more
detail in the 2012 Annual Report. 


CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

On 18 April 2013, the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj approved
the financial statements, discharged the members of the Supervisory Board and
the Board of Directors and the Managing Director from liability and decided
that a per-share dividend of EUR 0.15 be paid for the year 2012. 

The number of members on the Supervisory Board for 2013 was confirmed to be 25.
Of the Supervisory Board members whose term had come to an end, the following
were re-elected for the term ending in 2017: Markku Akonniemi (Töysä), Juhani
Hautamäki (Ylivieska), Heikki Järvi-Laturi (Teuva), Petri Latva-Rasku (Tampere)
ja Marja Vettenranta (Laihia). The employee representatives Terhi Ekola (Vaasa)
and Niina Vuolio (Seinäjoki) were elected as new members of the Supervisory
Board. 

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

Ernst & Young Oy, Authorised Public Accountants, was elected as the auditor,
with Authorised Public Accountant, M.Sc.(Econ.) Harri Pärssinen as the
principal auditor. It was decided that the auditors would be reimbursed per the
invoice. 

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

On 6 May 2013, the Supervisory Board re-elected Sari Mutka, whose term had come
to an end, to the Board of Directors of Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj. Lasse Hautala will
continue as chairman of the Supervisory Board, while Perttu Rinta will continue
as vice-chairman. At its membership meeting, the Board of Directors re-elected
Seppo Paatelainen as its chairman, while Timo Aukia will continue as
vice-chairman. 


OUTLOOK FOR 2013

In the current economic climate, forecasting net sales in the media sector and,
in particular, media advertising spending involves major uncertainties. Due to
consumer caution, VAT on circulation revenues and media competition,
newspapers' circulation revenues are predicted to decrease. Printing business
volumes have declined permanently in Finland and the prospects for growth in
the sector are weak. 

Advertising in Finland was weaker than expected in the first half of the year.

The net sales of Ilkka-Yhtymä Group are estimated to decline slightly from the
2012 level. 

Group operating profit from Ilkka-Yhtymä's own operations, and operating profit
as a percentage of net sales, excluding the share of Alma Media's and other
associated companies' results, are expected to decline from the 2012 level. In
addition, the year's results will depend on interest-rate trends, the price
performance of securities investments, and changes in the value of the
associated companies. 

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

FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES MEASURED AT

Available-for-sale assets also include EUR 1,419 thousand for unlisted shares,
which are measured at cost since no reliable fair value was available for them. 

At Level 1 of the hierarchy, fair value is based on quoted prices (unadjusted)
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 

At Level 2, the instruments' fair value is based on inputs other than quoted
prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). 

At Level 3, the instruments' fair value is based on inputs for the asset or
liability that are not based on observable market data.
