NET SALES AND PROFIT PERFORMANCE

The Group's consolidated net sales for January-June showed a 7.3% decline. Net
sales came to EUR 20.9 million (EUR 22.6 million). External net sales from the
publishing business fell by 4.8%. Advertising revenues fell by 8.4% and
circulation revenues by 1.1%. The decrease in net sales from the publishing
business was mainly caused by a weaker advertising market. External net sales
from the printing business declined by 21.0% due to tough competition and the
weaker market. Circulation income accounted for 45% of consolidated net sales,
while advertising income and printing income represented 41% and 13%,
respectively. 

For Q2, net sales decreased by 7.0% and totalled EUR 10.8 million (EUR 11.6
million). External net sales from the publishing business fell by 4.1%.
Advertising revenues fell by 5.3% and circulation revenues by 3.0%. External
net sales from the printing business decreased by 21.3%. Circulation income
accounted for 43% of consolidated net sales in April-June, while advertising
income and printing income represented 42% and 14%, 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 19.3 million (EUR 20.4
million), down by 5.5% year on year. For April-June, operating expenses
amounted to EUR 9.7 million (EUR 10.1 million), down 4.8%. For January-June,
expenses arising from materials and services decreased by 9.0%. Personnel
expenses remained at the previous year's level. On 6 May 2014, Ilkka-Yhtymä
announced that it would start adaptation measures in order to safeguard
profitability. As part of these measures, the company launched negotiations
concerning all personnel in line with the Act on Co-operation within
Undertakings. As the outcome of these negotiations, personnel savings will
largely be achieved through temporary layoffs of all employees. The savings
correspond to layoffs of around one week during the second half of 2014. Other
operating costs decreased by 12.9%. Depreciation contracted by 6.4%. 

The share of the associated companies' result for January-June was EUR 1.8
million (EUR 3.7 million). Consolidated operating profit amounted to EUR 3.7
million (EUR 6.1 million), down by 39.3 per cent year-on-year. The Group's
operating margin was 17.8 per cent (27.1%). Operating profit excluding Alma
Media Corporation and the other associated companies amounted to EUR 1.9
million (EUR 2.4 million), representing 9.0% (10.6%) of net sales. Operating
profit from publishing fell by EUR 0.6 million, and operating profit from
printing fell by EUR 0.1 million. 

For April-June, the share of the associated companies' result was EUR 1.3
million (EUR 2.3 million). Consolidated operating profit amounted to EUR 2.5
million (EUR 3.9 million). Operating profit decreased 34.6% from the
corresponding period. The Group's operating margin was 23.4% (33.3%) in
April-June. Operating profit excluding Alma Media Corporation and the other
associated companies amounted to EUR 1.2 million (EUR 1.5 million),
representing 11.3% (13.3%) of net sales. For the second quarter, operating
profit from publishing fell by EUR 0.3 million, and operating profit from
printing fell by EUR 0.1 million. 

Net financial expenses for January-June amounted to EUR 0.2 million (net
financial income in the corresponding period of the previous year EUR 0.3
million). Net gain/loss on shares held for trading was EUR -0.1 million (EUR
-0.04 million). Interest expenses excluding the fair value change in
derivatives hedging them totalled EUR 0.9 million (EUR 0.9 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 2014, the market value of these interest rate
swaps fell by EUR 0.02 million (in January-June 2013, the market value grew by
EUR 0.6 million). 

Net financial income for April-June amounted to EUR 0.3 million (EUR 0.5
million). Net gain/loss on shares held for trading was EUR 0.0 million (EUR
-0.03 million). Interest expenses excluding the fair value change in
derivatives hedging them totalled EUR 0.4 million (EUR 0.4 million). In
April-June 2014, the market value of interest rate swaps fell by EUR 0.02
million (in April-June 2013, the market value grew by EUR 0.4 million). 

Pre-tax profits for January-June totalled EUR 3.5 million (EUR 6.4 million).
Direct taxes amounted to EUR 0.2 million (EUR 0.5 million), and the Group's net
profit for the period totalled EUR 3.3 million (EUR 5.9 million). The Group's
net profit for the second quarter totalled EUR 2.6 million (EUR 4.0 million). 

BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCING

The consolidated balance sheet total came to EUR 134.9 million (EUR 164.2
million), with EUR 58.6 million (EUR 82.5 million) of equity. On the reporting
date of 30 June 2014, the balance sheet value of the holding in the associated
company Alma Media Corporation was EUR 102.0 million and the market value of
the shares was EUR 60.9 million. According to the management's estimate,
write-down in this holding is unnecessary. 

Interest-bearing liabilities totalled EUR 64.0 million (EUR 68.1 million). The
equity ratio was 45.0 per cent (51.8%), and shareholders' equity per share was
EUR 2.28 (EUR 3.21). The increase in financial assets for the period totalled
EUR 0.3 million (decrease EUR 0.4 million), with liquid assets at the end of
the period totalling EUR 2.3 million (EUR 1.8 million). 

For January-June, cash flow from operations came to EUR 2.7 million (EUR 6.1
million). Cash flow from operations for January-June 2013 includes EUR 3.9
million from the Group's own operations as well as EUR 2.2 million of dividend
income from Alma Media Corporation. Cash flow from investments totalled EUR 2.6
million (EUR -0.3 million). For January-June 2014, cash flow from investments
includes EUR 2.2 million of capital repayment from Alma Media Corporation. 

NEWSPAPERS TO COLLABORATE MORE CLOSELY THROUGH LÄNNEN MEDIA

On 23 June 2014, Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj's subsidiary I-Mediat Oy and five other
Finnish newspaper publishers signed a co-operation agreement to establish
Lännen Media Oy, a company that will produce content for 12 provincial
newspapers in western and northern Finland. 

By the end of 2014, the Lännen Media newspapers will set up a nationwide
editorial staff of 40 people to produce content for printed newspapers as well
as digital, online and mobile channels. 

The shared editorial staff will produce nationwide Finnish and international
news content, timely articles to shed light on the facts behind the news,
weekend supplement material, daily theme pages and nationwide online news. 

The founding newspapers behind Lännen Media include Ilkka-Yhtymä's newspapers
Ilkka and Pohjalainen, Alma Media's newspapers Aamulehti, Satakunnan Kansa,
Lapin Kansa, Kainuun Sanomat and Pohjolan Sanomat as well as Kaleva, Turun
Sanomat, Keskipohjanmaa, Hämeen Sanomat and Forssan Lehti, which is part of the
same company. 

The Lännen Media newspapers reach almost two million Finns (1,980,000). The
combined circulation of the printed newspapers is 516,375 copies (FABC Audit
2013) and they are read by 1.28 million readers. 

ILKKA-YHTYMÄ'S NEWSPAPERS TO BE PARTLY DISTRIBUTED BY HSS MEDIA

Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj's subsidiary I-Mediat Oy has started distribution co-operation
with HSS Media in the Swedish-speaking coastal regions of Ostrobothnia. 

As from 1 June 2014, I-Mediat Oy's provincial newspapers Pohjalainen and Ilkka
will gradually start using the distribution services of HSS Media in the
Swedish-speaking municipalities of Ostrobothnia, with the exception of Vaasa
and Mustasaari. On Mondays, when HSS Media does not publish newspapers,
Pohjalainen and Ilkka will be delivered by Itella with the daily mail. In Vaasa
and parts of Mustasaari, the newspapers will still be distributed by Itella in
the early hours, seven days a week. 

PERSONNEL

The Group had an average of 312 (322) employees during the period.

On 6 May 2014, Ilkka-Yhtymä announced that it would start adaptation measures
in order to safeguard profitability.  As part of these measures, the company
launched negotiations concerning all personnel in line with the Act on
Co-operation within Undertakings. 

As the outcome of these negotiations, personnel savings will largely be
achieved through temporary layoffs of all employees. The savings correspond to
layoffs of around one week during the second half of 2014. As a result of
voluntary retirement and the part-time employment and redundancies agreed upon
in the codetermination negotiations, Ilkka-Yhtymä will permanently reduce its
full-time employees by about 10. These personnel savings, coupled with other
adaptation measures, will yield the targeted cost-savings of EUR 0.6 million in
2014. 

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 Small Cap. The Series I shares are listed on the Pre List. 

In January-June, 41,843 series-I shares of Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj were traded,
accounting for 1.0 per cent of the total number of series-I shares. The total
value of the shares exchanged was EUR 0.2 million. In total, 1,228,751
series-II shares were traded, corresponding to 5.8 per cent of the total number
of series II shares. The total value of the shares traded was EUR 3.2 million.
The lowest price at which series-I shares of Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj were traded
during the period under review was EUR 3.49, and the highest per-share price
was EUR 4.98. The lowest price at which series-II shares were traded was EUR
2.20 and the highest EUR 3.05. The market value of the share capital at the
closing rate for the reporting period was EUR 62.9 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, 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 2013. 

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 2013 Annual Report. 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

On 24 April 2014, 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 0.10 be paid for the year 2013. 

The number of members on the Supervisory Board for 2014 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 2018: Kari Aukia, Sami Eerola, Jari
Eklund, Johanna Kankaanpää, Yrjö Kopra, Juha Mikkilä and Sami Talso. 

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. 

At its meeting on 5 May 2014, the Supervisory Board re-elected Esa Lager and
Riitta Viitala to the Board of Directors of Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj when their terms
of service had come to an end. Seppo Paatelainen announced that he would step
down from the Board. Markku Hautanen, M.Sc. (Econ.), CEO of the Skaala Group,
was elected as his replacement for the remainder of the term (ending in 2015).
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 elected Timo Aukia as its
chairman and Esa Lager as its vice-chairman. The Board of Directors of
Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj now has the following membership: chairman Timo Aukia,
vice-chairman Esa Lager, members Markku Hautanen, Sari Mutka, Tapio Savola, and
Riitta Viitala. 


OUTLOOK FOR 2014

In the current economic climate, forecasting net sales in the media sector and,
in particular, media advertising spending involves major uncertainties. Media
advertising in Finland is expected to remain roughly at the previous year's
level and, due to caution among consumers as well as competition in the media
market, newspaper circulation income is forecast to shrink. Printing business
volumes have shrunk in Finland and the trend is expected to continue in 2014. 

The net sales of Ilkka-Yhtymä Group are estimated to decline from the 2013
level. 

Group operating profit from Ilkka-Yhtymä's own operations, excluding the share
of Alma Media's and other associated companies' results, are expected to
decline from the 2013 level. 

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

Available-for-sale assets also include EUR 1,420 thousand for unlisted shares
(EUR 1,419 thousand in 6/2013), 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.
