BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

In its Economic Bulletin of 19 June 2012, the Ministry of Finance forecast GDP
growth of 1.0% for 2012. 

In media monitored by TNS Media Intelligence, advertising decreased by 4.9% in
June and 3.1% in January-June compared to the corresponding period last year.
In January-June, advertising in traditional newspapers fell by 7.7%. 

NET SALES AND PROFIT PERFORMANCE

The Group's consolidated net sales for January-June showed a 7.2% decline. Net
sales came to EUR 23.5 million (EUR 25.3 million in the corresponding period of
the previous year). External net sales from the publishing business fell by
5.8%. Advertising revenues fell by 10% and circulation revenues fell by 0.5%.
The decrease in net sales from the publishing business was caused by a weaker
advertising market and the income from parliamentary election advertisements
included in the comparative figure for 2011. External net sales from the
printing business fell by 15.9% due to the decline in volumes. Circulation
income accounted for 41% of consolidated net sales, while advertising income
and printing income represented 46% and 13%, respectively. 

For Q2, net sales decreased by 11% and totalled EUR 11.7 million (EUR 13.2
million). External net sales from the publishing business fell by 10.2%.
Advertising revenues fell by 16.2%, and circulation revenues fell by 2.7%.
External net sales from the printing business decreased by 15.9%. Circulation
income accounted for 40% of consolidated net sales in April-June, while
advertising income and printing income represented 46% and 13%, 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 20.8 million (EUR 21.0
million), down by 0.9% year on year. For April-June, operating expenses
amounted to EUR 10.5 million (EUR 10.9 million), down 3.5%. For January-June,
expenses arising from materials and services decreased by 5.7%. Personnel
expenses increased by 2.5% and other operating costs increased by 1.8%.
Depreciation contracted by 2.6%. 

The share of the associated companies' result for January-June was EUR 3.1
million (EUR 4.6 million). This share was affected by non-recurring expense
items recorded in Alma Media's results (EUR 5.3 million) as well as changes in
the fair value of a conditional purchase price provision arising from the
corporate restructuring of Arena Partners Oy. Consolidated operating profit
amounted to EUR 6.0 million (EUR 9.1 million), down by 34.9 per cent
year-on-year. The Group's operating margin was 25.3 per cent (36.1%). Operating
profit excluding Alma Media Corporation and the other associated companies
amounted to EUR 2.9 million (EUR 4.5 million), representing 12.3% (17.9%) of
net sales. Operating profit from publishing fell by EUR 1.4 million, and
operating profit from printing fell by EUR 0.3 million. 

For April-June, the share of the associated companies' result was EUR 1.2
million (EUR 2.6 million). Consolidated operating profit amounted to EUR 2.6
million (EUR 5.0 million). Operating profit decreased 48.4% from the
corresponding period. The Group's operating margin was 21.9% (37.7%) in
April-June. Operating profit excluding Alma Media Corporation and the other
associated companies amounted to EUR 1.3 million (EUR 2.4 million),
representing 11.3% (18.2%) of net sales. For the second quarter, operating
profit from publishing fell by EUR 1.1 million, and operating profit from
printing fell by EUR 0.1 million. 

Net financial expenses for January-June amounted to EUR 1.4 million (EUR 0.3
million). Net gain/loss on shares held for trading was EUR -0.3 million (EUR
-0.4 million). Interest expenses excluding the fair value change in derivatives
hedging them totalled EUR 1.2 million (EUR 1.3 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 2012, the market value of these interest rate
swaps fell by EUR 0.6 million (in January-June 2011, the market value grew by
EUR 0.3 million). 

Net financial expenses for April-June amounted to EUR 0.7 million (EUR 0.4
million). Net gain/loss on shares held for trading was EUR -0.4 million (EUR
-0.3 million). For Q2, interest expenses excluding the fair value change in
derivatives hedging them totalled EUR 0.5 million (EUR 0.6 million).  In
April-June 2012, the market value of interest rate swaps fell by EUR 0.3
million (in April-June 2011, the market value fell by EUR 0.4 million). 

Pre-tax profits for January-June totalled EUR 4.5 million (EUR 8.8 million).
Direct taxes amounted to EUR 0.2 million (EUR 0.9 million), and the Group's net
profit for the period totalled EUR 4.3 million (EUR 7.9 million). The Group's
net profit for the second quarter totalled EUR 1.9 million (EUR 4.2 million). 

BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCING

The consolidated balance sheet total came to EUR 183.6 million (EUR 193.7
million), with EUR 98.6 million (EUR 100.0 million) of equity. On the reporting
date of 30 June 2012, the balance sheet value of the holding in the associated
company Alma Media Corporation was EUR 146.9 million and the market value of
the shares was EUR 115.8 million. According to the management's estimate,
write-down in this holding is unnecessary. 

Interest-bearing liabilities totalled EUR 71.3 million (EUR 80.8 million). The
equity ratio was 55.2 per cent (52.9%), and shareholders' equity per share
stood at EUR 3.84 (EUR 3.89). The decrease in financial assets for the period
totalled EUR 8.9 million (in January-June 2011, the increase in financial
assets EUR 4.2 million), with liquid assets at the end of the period totalling
EUR 2.0 million (EUR 7.2 million). During the period under review, accelerated
repayments of interest-bearing loans amounted to EUR 4.1 million, of which EUR
2.0 million were repayments of the TyEL loan for 2013-2015 (TyEL = the
Employees' Pensions Act). 

Cash flow from operations for the period came to EUR 6.4 million (EUR 22.1
million). This includes EUR -2.6 million (EUR 6.4 million) from the Group's own
operations as well as EUR 9.0 million (EUR 15.7 million) of dividend income
from Alma Media Corporation. Due to VAT changes, subscription fees for the
Group's regional newspapers for 2012 were exceptionally invoiced in December
2011. Consequently, cash flow from the Group's own operations fell in
January-June 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Cash flow from
investments totalled EUR 0.1 million (EUR -3.0 million). 

SHARE PERFORMANCE

The Series I shares of Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj were listed on the Helsinki Stock
Exchange in 1981 and have remained listed ever since. The Series II shares have
been listed since their issue in 1988, and on 10 June 2002 they were
transferred from the I List of the Helsinki Stock Exchange to the Main List. At
present, the Series II shares of Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj are listed on the NASDAQ OMX
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, 17,163 series-I shares of Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj were traded,
accounting for 0.4 per cent of the total number of series-I shares. The total
value of the shares traded was EUR 0.1 million. In total, 465,443 series-II
shares were traded, corresponding to 2.2 per cent of the total number of series
II shares. The total value of the shares traded was EUR 3.1 million. The lowest
price at which series-I shares of Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj were traded during the
period under review was EUR 7.40, and the highest per-share price was EUR

the highest EUR 7.67. The market value of the share capital at the closing rate
for the reporting period was EUR 159.5 million. 

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 as well as circulation and printing volumes, which apply to the
entire sector. Other business risks are discussed in more detail in the 2011
Annual Report. 

The Group's major financial risks include credit risk, 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 2011 Annual Report. 

CHIEF EDITOR OF PROVINCIAL PAPER ILKKA

On 1 August 2012, Satu Takala (Master of Arts) assumed her position as Chief
Editor of provincial paper Ilkka, which is published by I-Mediat Oy, an
Ilkka-Yhtymä Group company. The former Chief Editor Matti Kalliokoski
transferred to Helsingin Sanomat. 

Takala was previously Managing Editor of the shared editorial unit of Ilkka and
Pohjalainen. Prior to this position, she was Managing Director of Väli-Suomen
Media Oy and Producer at Sunnuntaisuomalainen in Jyväskylä as well as a
journalist for Ilkka. 

NEWSPAPER DISTRIBUTION

I-Mediat Oy has signed a three-year follow-up agreement with Itella Posti Oy
for the deliveries of subscription newspapers and the development of
distribution. 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

On 19 April 2012, 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 0.40 be paid for the year 2011. 

The number of members on the Supervisory Board for 2012 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 2016: Vesa-Pekka Kangaskorpi
(Jyväskylä), Jarmo Rinta-Jouppi (Seinäjoki), Kimmo Simberg (Seinäjoki) and
Jyrki Viitala (Seinäjoki). Timo Mäkinen (Seinäjoki) was elected to the
Supervisory Board to replace an employee representative who resigned from her
position during the term of office. Mäkinen's term will end in 2013. 

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 Tomi Englund 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 7 May 2012, the Supervisory Board re-elected Timo Aukia, 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 2012

In the current economic climate, major uncertainties are associated with the
predictability of both net sales and operating profit. Media advertising is
forecast to contract in Finland. 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. 

The net sales of Ilkka-Yhtymä Group are estimated to decrease from the 2011
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 estimated to decrease from the 2011 level
mainly due to decline in net sales. In addition, the year's results will depend
on interest-rate trends and the price performance of securities investments. 

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