GROUP OVERVIEW JANUARY - MARCH

Hannu Kottonen, HKScan's CEO, comments on the first quarter:

- Net sales decreased slightly during the first quarter of 2013 compared to the
corresponding period in 2012 due to lower sales volumes. Even though the
comparable EBIT improved somewhat, the performance can be considered to be flat
during the quarter. The best performing of the market areas was Poland. 

- Due to the uncertainty in the overall economy, the market demand for
higher-value meat products is developing more slowly than the trend over the
long term. Demand in the first quarter was even lower than usually. As a
result, the competition was tough in all the market areas. In addition, Russia
closed its borders for some imports, which decreased alternatives for exports
and created price pressure in other markets. 

- The continued high costs of feed and grain put pressure on the quarter, and
further sales price increases were made. Related to raw materials, there was a
seasonal oversupply in pork and a continuing structural shortage of beef. In
this view, poultry had the best balance. During the quarter, the European meat
and food business in general was challenged in many ways related to horsemeat,
food origin and labelling. 

- The group-wide development programme launched last year targeting to improve
annual profit by over EUR 20 million is being carried out, and several projects
related to it are under way. The restructuring actions taken in Sweden and
Finland are proceeding well, and the changes are to be implemented by the
middle and end of 2013 delivering an annual profit improvement of approximately
EUR 15 million. 

- The Away from Home business started to optimise by-product sales.
Cross-border knowledge is also being utilised, e.g. by sharing the best product
concepts and preparing for group-wide product launches later this year. The
export organisation was centralised under one management to deliver better
customer service and find new market potential. 

- In Finland, a model for cooperation with producers was developed during 2012
and its implementation started in the first quarter. The goal is to get cost
advantage for primary production and to implement the best production practice.
Specific development groups for pork, beef and poultry were set up, with
representatives of both the producers and the Group. The groups are focusing on
developing, maintaining and metering animal production and its competitiveness,
following up the results and comparing them from an international perspective. 

- This year, HKScan Group and the company's biggest owner, LSO Osuuskunta, are
celebrating their 100th anniversary. The anniversary is visible in Group
communications, marketing and product communication.

 *) Restated in accordance with the changed reporting principle for marketing
support expenses. 

For Finland, net sales in January-March amounted to EUR 194.2 (191.2) million.
Comparable EBIT for the period excluding non-recurring items was EUR 1.8 (2.7)
million. Non-recurring items in the first quarter of 2013 consist of
restructuring expenses related to agreed redundancies and production setup
changes amounting to EUR 3.1 million. 

The total market volume decreased during the quarter. Profit was affected
negatively by the oversupply in pork and undersupply in beef, as well as by
decreased volumes in some categories. Sales price increases were made but they
did not cover the higher costs in all segments. 

The restructuring and reorganising of the Finnish organisation continued. As a
result, the organisations and responsibility distribution of different
functions were clarified to match the Group's new operating model. The roles of
production units were clarified further, and the number of personnel was
adjusted. These actions aim to develop the productivity and efficiency of thebusiness to improve profit by approximately EUR 5 million annually. 

During the labour negotiations, some illegal strikes broke out in Finland. The
strikes hampered the whole slaughtering and deboning chain decreasing
production efficiency and increasing direct and indirect costs. The labour
negotiations were taken into account by reducing the campaign activities. The
estimated negative impact on profit due to the strikes was EUR 1-2 million
(included in the figures). The impact of the strike on pork supply was evened
out by using the Group's plants in Estonia and Sweden. 

In January, HKScan's spot “100 years of Finnish favourites” was chosen as the
best TV commercial.

-----------------------------------------

 In the Baltics, net sales in January-March were EUR 41.9 (40.5) million. EBIT
was EUR 0.8 (0.7) million. 

Net sales improved slightly. EBIT was somewhat better than in the same period
in 2012 in spite of the increased costs of feed, grain, personnel, energy and
transportation.  Efficiency improvement projects and the implementation of
Group's operating model continued in the market area neutralising the cost
impact. 

Domestic demand in the market area was stable but exports struggled. The
Latvian subsidiaries Rīgas Miesnieks and Jelgavas Gaļas Kombināts were merged
to form Rīgas Miesnieks as of 1 March, 2013. Both the Jelgava and Rīgas
Miesnieks brands will be maintained and developed further. In addition,
Lithuanian logistics were integrated into the Latvian logistics operations in
Riga.

*) Restated in accordance with the revised IAS 19 standard for employment
benefit plans and the changed reporting principle for marketing support
expenses. 



In Sweden, net sales in January-March were EUR 228.9 (243.5) million. EBIT was
EUR -2.6 (-5.1) million. Net sales declined due to a severe shortage of Swedish
beef raw material. As for pork, there was seasonal oversupply vs. demand and
purchase prices were still high. In addition, import volumes put pressure on
sales prices. Actions within the development programme have taken effect, and
can be seen in the improved results. Nevertheless, EBIT still remained in the
red. The development programme measures and actions continue. 

Branded products were being developed further, e.g. the Svensk Rapsgris®
(Swedish rapeseed pork) business developed well and delivered encouraging
results.  The strategic review is also continuing in Sweden.

-----------------------------------------------------------



For Denmark, net sales in January-March were EUR 56.3 (57.8) million. EBIT was
EUR -0.1 (0.3) million. Profit stayed below the corresponding period in 2012 as
a consequence of heavier cost structure in both raw materials and production,
as well as lower volumes in sales. The sales price pressure continued to be
tough and the increases in sales prices did not cover all cost increases. 

The Vinderup plant could be operated after the fire last year but not yet at
full production levels. The last production lines were taken into use during
the quarter. The rebuild is planned to be fully completed during the second
quarter. 

Preparations for the re-launch and sales of fresh poultry products on the
Swedish market under the Pärsons brand were made with good initial listings. 

The insurance is estimated to cover both the property damage and the loss of
profit, as well as the additional costs caused by the interruption to the
business. The rebuilt part of the plant started production in December. The
rebuild is planned to be completed for the authorities' approval with regard to
the construction work no later than the end of the second quarter. The
accumulated posted capital expenditure related to the fire did not change
materially in the first quarter from the amount at the end of 2012. The
insurance cases are not yet closed.

In Poland, net sales for January-March totalled EUR 85.5 (80.4) million. EBIT
for the period was EUR 5.4 (3.4) million. The EBIT margin increased
significantly, being 6.3 (4.3) per cent. The performance improvement was
attributable to successful product-mix management, active meat sourcing and
production cost control. 

The high recognition of the Sokolów brand and increased sales of processed
products secured the good development. Export volumes stayed at a low level.
The weakening European economic activity will also have an impact on Poland as
well as on the demand and purchase volumes. During the quarter, new packaging
and processing lines were taken into use in the Sokolów Podlaski, Jaroslaw and
Robakowo plants. 


INVESTMENTS

The Group's investments in January-March totalled EUR 9.1 (19.8) million. They

planned. In Finland, Sweden and Denmark, the investments were normal repair and
maintenance of production lines. In the Baltics, the investments involved the
programme for restructuring of poultry production and primary production in
Estonia. In Poland, the investments focused on packaging and processing lines
in several units. 


FINANCING AND TAXES

Group interest-bearing debt at the end of March 2013 stood at EUR 500.4 (527.9)

BOARD OF DIRECTORS' AUTHORISATIONS

During January-March 2013, the Board did not exercise the authorisations
received from the Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 25 April 2012. The new
authorisations granted to the Board by the AGM 2013 are described in the
section “Events after the review period”. 


PERSONNEL

In the first quarter, HKScan, excluding Sokolów in Poland, had an average of 7
332 (7 913) personnel. 

The number of personnel decreased in Finland, the Baltics and Sweden due to the
on-going efficiency programmes. In Denmark the personnel increased temporarily
due to the rebuild and production restart after the fire at the Vinderup plant
the previous year. 

The average number of personnel in each market area was as follows:



         Q1/2013  Q1/2012   2012
--------------------------------
Finland    2 574    2 621  2 794

--------------------------------
Total      7 332    7 913  7 763
--------------------------------



In addition, the Sokolów Group employed during the period an average of 6 343
(6 142) persons and in 2012 the average number of personnel was 6 310. 

Division of personnel by market area at the end of March was as follows:



         31.3.2013  31.3.2012  31.12.2012
-----------------------------------------
Finland      2 605      2 696       2 592

-----------------------------------------
Total        7 390      7 950       7 475
-----------------------------------------



Additionally, the Sokolów Group had 6 354 (6 332) employees at the end of March
and 6 491 employees at the end of 2012. 


CLAIM BY OY PRIMULA AB'S BANKCRUPTY ESTATE

According to a stock exchange release of 7 September 2012, HKScan Corporation
and HK Ruokatalo Oy were notified that Oy Primula Ab's bankruptcy estate has
submitted an action for damages to the District Court of Finland Proper
concerning the companies. The claim amounts to about EUR 16.3 million plus
claims related to interest and legal process costs. 

HKScan and HK Ruokatalo find the action to be unjustified, and the companies
are going to dispute the claim in its entirety. Therefore, the action did not
give raise to any provisions in the consolidated financial statements. 


SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS

The most significant uncertainty factors in the HKScan Group's business are
connected — through price increases for feed raw material in particular and
other production inputs related to primary production — to the price
development and availability of local meat raw material, as well as to the
adequacy of increases in the sales prices for the products in relation to cost
development. 

The risks of animal diseases in the food industry's raw meat supplies or
eventual international or regional food scandals impacting the overall
consumption outlook can never be fully excluded. 


EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

The Annual General Meeting of HKScan Corporation held on 24 April 2013 in Turku
adopted the parent company's and consolidated financial statements and
discharged the members of the Board of Directors and the CEO from liability for
the year 2012. The AGM resolved that a dividend of EUR 0.10 per share be paid
for 2012. 

The AGM resolved on amending the  Articles 8 and 9 in the company's Articles of
Association so that the Board of Directors may include one to three deputy
members when necessary, and that the number of Board members can be increased
to a maximum of eight. 

In addition, concerning Article 12 of the Articles of Association, the AGM
resolved to amend the number of auditors, so that the company has at least one
and a maximum of two auditors who must be auditors accepted by the Central
Chamber of Commerce (CPA) or auditing firms. If only one auditor is appointed
for the Company, and it is not an auditing firm approved by the Central Chamber
of Commerce, one deputy auditor must be appointed. 

The AGM also resolved on the annual remuneration of the Board's members, deputy
members and the chairs of the committees. In addition, compensation per meeting
will be paid for each Board and Board committee meeting attended. 

The current Board members, Juha Kylämäki, Niels Borup, Teija Andersen, Gunilla
Aschan, Tero Hemmilä and Henrik Treschow, were re-elected for a further term of
office. Mikko Nikula and Per Nilsson were elected as deputy members. At the
organisational meeting after the AGM, the Board re-elected Juha Kylämäki as
Chairman and Niels Borup as Vice Chairman. 

PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy, an audit firm chartered by the Central Chamber of
Commerce, with APA Johan Kronberg as the main auditor, was appointed as the
auditor until the end of the next AGM. 

The AGM authorised the Board to decide on an issue of shares, option rights as
well as other special rights entitling to shares, on acquiring and/or accepting
as pledge treasury A Shares and on the transfer of treasury acquired for the
company. The authorisations will be effective until 30 June 2014, replacing the
authorisations given by the AGM 2012. 

The resolutions of the AGM have been published in full in the stock exchange
release of 24 April 2013, and they are also available on the company's website
at www.hkscan.com. 


OUTLOOK FOR 2013

The Group keeps unchanged the outlook given in the financial statements
bulletin on 15 February 2013: 

HKScan expects the business environment to remain tough as both animal supply
and consumer purchasing power are estimated to tighten further. At the same
time, demand for meat in general is expected to develop steadily. The Group
focuses on managing future business dynamics by tight control on costs and
capital spending, balancing demand and supply, and being more proactive in
sales pricing. 

The revised strategy, new operating model and organisation will contribute to
profit improvement.  The financial benefits of the development and the
profitability improvement programmes are estimated to accelerate the profit
aggregation towards the latter part of the year 2013 and onwards. Group EBIT
for the entire year is estimated to improve from 2012.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM REPORT

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

HKScan Corporation's interim report for 1 January - 31 March 2013 has been
prepared in compliance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting standards. The
same accounting principles have been applied in the interim report as in the
annual financial statements for 2012, with the exception of the revised IAS 19
Employee Benefits standard (effective as of 1 January 2013). In addition, the
Group has changed the accounting principles for marketing support. The Group's
financial reporting in 2013 will be in line with these changes. The quarterly
Group and market area information for 2012 has been restated accordingly. Due
to the rounding of the figures to the nearest million euros in the interim
report, some totals may not agree with the sum of their constituent parts.
These accounting principles are explained in the financial statements for 2012.

THE FAIR VALUE DETERMINATION PRINCIPLES APPLIED BY THE GROUP ON FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE 

Derivatives
The fair values of currency derivatives are determined by using the market
prices for contracts of equal duration at the reporting date. The fair values
of interest rate swaps are determined using the net present value method
supported by the market interest rates at the reporting date. The fair value of
commodity derivatives are determined by using publicly quoted market prices.

RESTATED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2012 BY QUARTER

As of 1 January 2013, HKScan has adopted the revised IAS 19 Employee Benefits
standard and the accounting principles for marketing support have been changed.
Quarterly Group and market area information for 2012 has been restated
accordingly. 

The adoption of the revised IAS 19 Employee Benefits standard concerns only the
market area Sweden, and it results in higher EBIT, higher EPS and reduced
equity in the financial figures for 2012. The Group's EBIT grew by EUR 1.7
million and EPS by EUR 0.02 due to adjustment of employee benefit expenses. The
Group equity for 2012 decreased by EUR 29.5 million as a result of recognising
actuarial gains and losses in other comprehensive income. 

The changes in the accounting principles for marketing support concern the
market areas of Finland and Sweden, and they reduced net sales by EUR 43.7
million in 2012. Previously, marketing support was reported as an operating
expense, and according to the new principle, it is reported as a deduction of
sales.
