Outlook for 2015

Oriola-KD estimates its full-year net sales to remain at the 2014 level.
Operating profit excluding non-recurring items is estimated to increase from the
2014 level. Full-year net sales for continuing operations were EUR 1,612.3
million and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 59.1 million.

President and CEO Eero Hautaniemi's comments regarding the interim report:

"The first half of the year net sales and operating profit excluding non-
recurring items of the Swedish businesses remained at the level of the
corresponding period, on a constant currency basis operating profit excluding
non-recurring items increased by EUR 1.1 million. Profitability of the Swedish
retail business was negatively affected by significant decrease of parallel
import from the corresponding period and price cuts set by TLV (Tandvårds- och
läkemedelsförmånsverket) in fourth quarter of 2014 and on June 1, 2015. Net
sales of the Swedish wholesale business was supported by the new agreements with
pharmaceutical companies signed in 2014. In accordance with our strategy we will
open an online pharmacy in Sweden during the second half of the year.

In Finnish wholesale business we renewed significant long term cooperation
agreements with Orion and Boehringer Ingelheim.

In the second quarter we made an agreement regarding the rearrangement of our
long-term revolving credit facility and term loan agreement."

On 19 December 2012, Oriola-KD Corporation's Board of Directors decided on a
share incentive scheme for the Group's senior management for the years
2013-2015. The scheme covers six persons. The company's Board of Directors will
determine the earnings criteria for the earning period and the targets to be set
for these at the start of each earning period. The bonus for the 2015 earning
period is based on the Oriola-KD Group's earnings per share (EPS) calculated
from the earnings excluding non-recurring items and taxes. The rewards to be
paid on the basis of the performance period 2015 will correspond to the value of
a maximum total of 1,010,000 Oriola-KD Corporation class B shares (also

period 1 October 2014 - 30 September 2015.

For both savings plans the maximum and minimum monthly savings amount to 10 and

accumulated savings will be used for purchasing Oriola-KD's class B shares for
the participants at market prices. In return, each participant will receive two
free class B matching shares for every three acquired savings shares. Matching
shares will be delivered to a participant if the participant holds the acquired
shares from the savings period until the end of the designated holding period.
 Matching shares will be paid partly in Oriola-KD's class B shares and partly in
cash. The cash proportion is intended for covering taxes and tax-related
payments arising from the reward to a key person.

On 18 June 2015 the Board of Directors of Oriola-KD Corporation decided to
launch a new savings period 2015-2016 that will be offered to approximately 95

Risks

Oriola-KD's Board of Directors has approved the company's risk management policy
in which the risk management operating model, principles, responsibilities and
reporting are specified. The Group's risk management seeks to identify, measure
and manage risks that may threaten Oriola-KD's operations and the achievement of
goals set. The roles and responsibilities relating to risk management have been
determined in the Group.

Oriola-KD's risks are classified as strategic, operational and financial. Risk
management is a key element of the strategic process, operational planning and
daily decision-making at Oriola-KD.

Oriola-KD has identified the following principal strategic and operational risks
in its business:

  * Amendments to pharmaceutical market regulations, pricing of pharmaceuticals
    and reimbursements may weaken Oriola-KD's net sales and profitability.
  * In the Swedish retail business, the free establishment of pharmacies has led
    to an increase in the number of pharmacies. The number of pharmacies may
    continue to grow, which could further increase the fierce competition.
  * Extra capacity ensuing from a change in the Swedish wholesale market will
    intensify competition, which may weaken the profitability of operations. The
    share of single channel distribution in the pharmaceutical wholesale market
    may decline rapidly, which may weaken the profitability of operations and
    lead to the restructuring of wholesale operations.
  * Changes in share of parallel imports in Swedish pharmaceutical market may
    affect profitability of the Swedish wholesale and retail businesses.
  * Strategic development projects involve operational risks.

The main financial risks for Oriola-KD involve currency rate, liquidity,
interest rate and credit risks. Currency risk is the most significant financial
risks in Sweden, as any changes in the value of the Swedish krona will have an
impact on Oriola-KD's net sales, earnings and consolidated statement of
financial position.

Oriola-KD prepares goodwill impairment testing annually, in accordance with the
timetable of its strategy and planning process. Changes in cash flow forecasts
based on strategic plans, or in the discount rate or perpetuity growth rate, can
cause a goodwill write-off, which would weaken Oriola-KD's result.

Near-term risks and uncertainty factors

Oriola-KD's strategic development projects involve operational risks which may
have an effect on Oriola-KD's profitability.

Outlook

Oriola-KD's outlook for 2015 is based on external market forecasts, agreements
with pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies, and management assessments. During
the five-year period from 2013-2018, the Finnish pharmaceutical market is
expected to grow at an annual rate of 2.6 per cent and  Swedish pharmaceutical
market is expected to change an average of 0 per cent per year in the local
currencies (source: IMS Health Prognosis 2014-2018, September 2014).

Outlook for 2015

Oriola-KD estimates its full-year net sales to remain at the 2014 level.
Operating profit excluding non-recurring items is estimated to increase from the
2014 level. Full-year net sales for continuing operations were EUR 1,612.3
million and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 59.1 million.

Events after the review period

There were no material events after the review period.

Notes to financial statements

Principal accounting policies as of 1 January 2015 (IFRS)

These financial statements release has been prepared in accordance with IFRS
standards (IAS 34). The accounting policies and calculation methods applied in
the interim report are the same as those in the 31 December 2014 annual
financial statements, excluding the standards and interpretations applied as of
1 January 2015 as presented below. However, the interim report does not include
all of the information and notes presented in the annual financial statements.
Consequently, the interim report should be read together with the company's
financial statements for 2014.

Results of the Russian businesses, sold in December 2014, are reported as
discontinued operations separately from results from continuing operations in
January -  June 2015. The comparative financial information for 2014 has been
revised to reflect the results for continuing operations. The consolidated
statement of financial position for comparative period 2014 includes the assets
and liabilities of discontinued operations. The consolidated statement of cash
flows for comparative period 2014 includes net cash flow of discontinued
operations.

The figures in the interim report have been rounded independently.

New standards or amendments to the existing ones that have been applied as of 1
January 2015:

  * Amendment to IAS 19 Defined benefit plans
  * Annual improvements in IFRS standards 2010-2012 and 2011-2013

The new standards have not had a material impact on the Group's financial
position.

The figures in this interim review are unaudited.

to the Medstop acquisition. Payment of the contingent consideration will be
based on management estimate of 2015 EBITDA of Oriola-KD's combined Swedish
retail businesses and will be paid in first quarter of 2016. The fair value of
the contingent consideration has been calculated using discounted cash flow
method. The discount rate used in the valuation is determined using the weighted
average cost of capital of the Group.
