SALES VOLUME, NET SALES AND EARNINGS

Olvi Group

In the second quarter of 2007, Olvi Group's sales in Finland and the Baltic
states developed favourably like in the first quarter. Sales from April to June
amounted to 101.2 (88.2) million litres, representing an increase of 13.0
million litres or 14.8 percent. Sales in Finland increased by 20.7 percent and
aggregate sales in the Baltic states by 15.2 percent. 

Olvi Group's sales from January to June totalled 168.5 (145.4) million litres,
an increase of 23.0 million litres or 15.8 percent. The sales improvement in
Finland was 23.0 percent and in the Baltic states 14.9 percent. 

Net sales growth in the second quarter and from January to June clearly
outperformed the growth of sales volumes in the Baltic states. Net sales from
April to June amounted to 60.5 (48.4) million euro, representing an increase of
12.1 million euro or 25.0 percent. Net sales from January to June amounted to
100.2 (80.3) million euro, representing an increase of 19.9 million euro or
24.8 percent. Over the first half of the year, net sales in Finland increased
by 7.5 million euro or 19.6 percent and aggregate net sales in the Baltic
states increased by 14.7 million euro or 32.1 percent. 

The operating profits of the parent company Olvi and the Baltic subsidiaries
improved substantially in the second quarter. Olvi Group's operating profit
from April to June stood at 7.8 (6.0) million euro. This represents an earnings
improvement of 1.8 million euro or 30.0 percent on the previous year. 
 
Thanks to the favourable earnings development that continued for the entire
first half of the year, the Group's operating profit from January to June stood
at 11.4 (8.0) million euro, which was 11.4 (10.0) percent of net sales. This
represents an increase of 3.4 million euro or 42.8 percent on the previous
year. The operating profits improved particularly in the parent company Olvi
plc and in the Latvian and Lithuanian subsidiaries. 

In the period under review, earnings after taxes improved by 2.9 million euro
to 9.3 (6.3) million euro. 

Owing to the seasonal character of the brewing industry, the majority of the
full-year net sales and operating profit is made during the second and third
quarters. 

Parent company Olvi plc

The parent company Olvi plc's sales improved substantially in the second
quarter. Sales from April to June amounted to 38.2 (31.6) million litres,
representing an increase of 6.6 million litres or 20.7 percent. 

According to the Nielsen market research company, Olvi plc's market share in
the main product groups (beers, ciders and mineral waters) in grocery shops was
18.1 (18.0) percent in the second quarter. 

The parent company's sales from January to June amounted to 64.9 (52.8) million
litres, representing an increase of 12.1 million litres or 23.0 percent.
Factors contributing to the growth included a controlled increase in
promotional sales of beer, new products in ciders, the successful launch of the
OLVI Greippi Lonkero product, a long drink that is sold in grocery shops and
filled a gap in Olvi's product range, as well as new customer relationships. In
terms of litres sold, the greatest increase was seen in beers, while
proportional growth was greatest in energy drinks and long drinks. Sales of
soft drinks also increased substantially thanks to an expanded product range.
Sales of mineral waters declined due to intense price competition and cool
weather. 

The parent company's net sales from April to June amounted to 26.2 (22.1)
million euro, representing an increase of 4.1 million euro or 18.5 percent on
the previous year. Thanks to good sales development over the entire first half
of the year, the parent company's net sales from January to June 2007 increased
to 45.5 (38.0) million euro, an increase of 19.6 percent. 

Good sales development in the second quarter boosted the efficiency of
production and logistics. The operating profit improved by 34.2 percent from
April to June and stood at 2.7 (2.0) million euro. 

Olvi plc's operating profit in January-June totalled 4.2 (3.0) million euro or
9.3 (8.0) percent of net sales. The operating profit improved by 1.2 million
euro or 38.3 percent. 

Scrapping of the obsolete package inventory resulted in 0.9 (0.6) million euro
of write-downs on inventories that burdened the January-June earnings. 

In the beginning of June, Det Norske Veritas AS granted Olvi plc a BRC Global
Standard - FOOD certificate for the production, distribution and sales of
mineral waters and soft drinks. BRC (British Retailer Consortium) is a British
set of criteria for ensuring the control of food safety. The purpose of the BRC
certificate is to protect consumers against food safety risks. It is gradually
expanding outside Great Britain in the groceries sector. Olvi plc will continue
the development of its quality management, environmental management and safety
systems with the aim of receiving ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001
certificates. 

AS A. Le Coq 

The sales of the Estonian subsidiary AS A. Le Coq continued to improve
substantially in the second quarter. Sales increased by 11.3 percent to 41.3
(37.1) million litres. 

AS A. Le Coq's total sales in January-June amounted to 69.0 (62.1) million
litres, an increase of 6.9 million litres or 11.1 percent on the previous year.
In terms of litres sold, the greatest increase was seen in beers, while
proportional growth was greatest in long drinks. Sales growth in juices and
energy drinks was also substantial. 

For the entire year, A. Le Coq's net sales growth has clearly outperformed the
growth in sales volume.  Second-quarter net sales amounted to 22.4 (17.8)
million euro, an increase of 26.0 percent. 

Net sales from January to June amounted to 36.4 (29.1) million euro,
representing an increase of 7.3 million euro or 25.0 percent. 

A. Le Coq's operating profit has also increased constantly during the first
half of the year. Operating profit from April to June amounted to 3.3 (2.9)
million euro, representing an increase of 12.1 percent. 

Operating profit in January-June stood at 5.1 (4.5) million euro, which was
13.9 (15.4) percent of net sales. The operating profit improved by 0.6 million
euro or 12.7 percent. 

A/S Cesu Alus

The sales of A/S Cesu Alus operating in Latvia developed favourably in the
first quarter, and the strong trend continued in the second quarter.  Sales in
April-June increased to 17.3 (13.2) million litres, an increase of 30.3
percent. 

Total sales from January to June amounted to 26.6 (19.8) million litres,
representing an increase of 6.7 million litres or 33.9 percent. The greatest
growth in sales volume was seen in beers that represent approximately 70
percent of total sales. In the primary product group, beers, A/S Cesu Alus's
market position has strengthened to 25 percent, and the brewery is now clearly
the number two player in the market. The sales of ciders, energy drinks, long
drinks and waters are also growing strongly. 

For the entire year, A/S Cesu Alus's net sales growth has clearly outperformed
the growth in sales volume. In the second quarter, net sales improved to 8.5
(5.6) million euro, an increase of 52.0 percent. The company's net sales from
January to June amounted to 12.8 (8.3) million euro, representing an increase
of 4.5 million euro or 54.2 percent. 

Thanks to the growth, A/S Cesu Alus's profitability has improved substantially.
Second-quarter operating profit improved to 0.9 (0.7) million euro, an increase
of 32.1 percent. Operating profit from January to June totalled 1.0 (0.3)
million euro, representing an increase of 0.7 million euro or 217.6 percent. 

AB Ragutis

In the second quarter, the sales volume of AB Ragutis operating in Lithuania
improved to 13.3 (12.1) million litres, an increase of 10.7 percent. The
company's total sales from January to June amounted to 21.7 (20.1) million
litres, representing an increase of 1.6 million litres or 8.1 percent. The
sales of Ragutis ciders and long drinks are rapidly increasing in Lithuania.
The sales of beer declined slightly as the company scaled down its Private
Label production. 

The net sales of AB Ragutis have clearly outperformed the increase in sales
volumes in 2007. The April-June net sales increased by 38.3 percent to 7.0
(5.1) million euro. The company's net sales from January to June amounted to
11.1 (8.2) million euro, representing an increase of 2.9 million euro or 35.0
percent. The net sales improvement is affected by the favourable development of
sales volumes and prices of other product groups that are now supplementing
beer. 

The operating profit of AB Ragutis has clearly improved thanks to previous
major investments and the good development of sales volumes. Second-quarter
operating profit stood at 1.0 (0.4) million euro, representing an increase of
0.7 million euro or 176.9 percent. Operating profit in January-June stood at
1.2 (0.2) million euro, an increase of 1.0 million euro. The operating profit
percentage was 10.8 (2.3). 
 
FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS

Olvi Group's balance sheet total at the end of June was 184.1 (159.1) million
euro. Equity per share in January-June stood at 7.70 (6.65) euro. The equity to
total assets ratio was on a par with the previous year at 43.4 (43.5) percent.
The amount of interest-bearing liabilities was 52.7 (47.9) million euro,
including current liabilities of 19.6 (22.1) million euro. 

During the period under review, the Olvi Group's gross capital expenditure
amounted to 11.5 million euro (11.1 million euro). The parent company Olvi plc
accounted for 3.5 million euro and the subsidiaries in the Baltic states for
8.0 million euro of the total. The largest investments in 2007 will be the
filling and packaging lines for reusable plastic bottles to be constructed at
Olvi plc and A. Le Coq, as well as extensions to storage facilities at A/S Cesu
Alus and AB Ragutis. 

The gross capital expenditure also includes purchases made on finance lease.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT 

Research and development includes projects to design and develop new products,
packages, processes and production methods, as well as further development of
existing products and packages. The R&D costs have been recognised as expenses. 

In June, Olvi plc signed a licencing agreement with Twentieth Century Fox
Licensing & Merchandising, a division of Fox Entertainment Group, Inc.,
granting Olvi plc the right to produce, sell and distribute Simpson soft drinks
in Finland. Simpson soft drinks will be available in grocery shops in the turn
of August and September. 

PERSONNEL

Thanks to good sales development, the number of personnel increased in all
Group companies in January-June. Olvi Group's average number of personnel in
January-June was 1,209 (1,109), 376 (336) of them in Finland, 419 (393) in
Estonia, 212 (191) in Latvia and 202 (189) in Lithuania. The average number of
personnel increased by 100 people or 9.0 percent on the previous year. The
total number of personnel at the end of June was 1,375 (1,230). 

GROUP STRUCTURE

At the end of April 2007, the AS A. Le Coq Group holding company fully owned by
Olvi plc and its 100-percent subsidiary AS A. Le Coq agreed upon a merger in
which AS A. Le Coq Group will be merged into AS A. Le Coq, making AS A. Le Coq
a direct 100-percent subsidiary of Olvi plc. 

At the same time, AS A. Le Coq Group will sell its holdings in A/S Cesu Alus
and AB Ragutis to Olvi plc, turning the companies into direct subsidiaries of
Olvi plc. After this, Olvi plc will directly hold 97.89 percent of A/S Cesu
Alus and 99.56 percent of AB Ragutis. 
The merger and share transactions will be executed to improve Olvi Group's
business efficiency and simplify the Group structure. The arrangements will
have no effect on Olvi Group's earnings or balance sheet. The estimated time of
registration of the merger is August 2007. 

BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN THE NEAR TERM

The introduction of recycled plastic deposit bottles into the Finnish market
will bring great changes to production and logistics processes. It is currently
difficult to estimate how quickly the consumption and packaging of soft drinks
and mineral waters will be completely migrated to recycled plastic deposit
bottles. 

The present refillable bottle stocks will be gradually disposed of. This will
result in increased scrapping of inventories within the next few years. 

The Finnish government proposes an increase of 10 percent in the alcohol tax
for mild alcoholic beverages starting from the beginning of 2008. However, the
increase will be less than the 15-percent increase proposed for strong
alcoholic beverages. Some increase can be assumed in private imports. 

As the consumption of beers, ciders and long drinks is increasingly moving to
canned products, the costs of production, raw materials and packaging will
increase in comparison to bottled products, resulting in more intense price
competition. 

We assume that sales growth in the Baltic states will slow down somewhat due to
the stabilisation of consumption habits. 

NEAR-TERM OUTLOOK

Olvi Group aims to strengthen its market position in all business areas.
Substantial investments will ensure the sufficiency of capacity supporting our
growth and cost-efficient production of a versatile product range. Further
improvement of the entire Olvi Group's profitability and competitive ability is
a crucial target. 

The rainy and cool weather in this year's midsummer may have an impact on
third-quarter earnings. However, we expect full-year net sales to increase and
operating profit to improve on the previous year.
