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:

"Swedish businesses net sales increased and operating profit excluding non-
recurring items improved from corresponding period in January-September, on a
constant currency basis operating profit excluding non-recurring items increased
by approximately EUR 2.3 million.

Profitability of the Swedish retail business was supported by increased sales of
OTC and traded goods and cost control. Profitability was negatively affected by
significant decrease of parallel import from the corresponding period and price
cuts set by Swedish authorities in fourth quarter of 2014 and in second quarter
of 2015. Positive development of the Swedish wholesale business was supported by
the new agreements with pharmaceutical companies signed in 2014 and increased
efficiency. In accordance with our plan, we opened a web shop in Sweden in
September. The product assortment of the web shop represents the entire Kronans
Apotek pharmacy chain product assortment.

In the Finnish wholesale business we renewed significant long term cooperation
agreements with MSD and Orifarm in the third quarter. The result of the Finnish
wholesale improved due to increase volume and services sales to pharmaceutical
companies.

Oriola-KD's updated strategy, new operating model and long term financial
targets were published on 18 August 2015. The new operating model and
responsibilities will be effective as of 1 January 2016."

OTC and traded goods and cost control. Operating profit was negatively affected
by significant decrease of parallel import from the corresponding period and
price cuts set by Swedish authorities in fourth quarter of 2014 and in second
quarter of 2015. Increased sales of the new expensive prescription medicine with
low margins negatively affected the relative profitability of the Swedish retail
business. The relative share of OTC and traded goods from the net sales was
26.2 (26.9) per cent.

Positive development of the Swedish wholesale business was supported by the new
agreements with pharmaceutical companies signed in 2014 and increased
efficiency.

September 2015 (source: IMS Express). Oriola-KD's share of the Finnish
pharmaceutical wholesale market was 46.2 (45.6) per cent in January - September
2015 (source: ATY).

The net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics increased by 0.6 (0.1)
per cent to EUR 318.2 (316.3) million. Operating profit excluding non-recurring
items increased by 4.6 (0.7) per cent to EUR 15.4 (14.7) million. Operating
profit decreased by 2.0 per cent to EUR 14.4 (14.7) million. Oriola-KD
recognised EUR 0.9 (-) million non-recurring items during January-September
related to co-operative negotiations concerning Oriola-KD's personnel in
Finland.

The net sales of the wholesale business in Finland was EUR 250.7 (252.9)
million. Net sales of the wholesale business in the Baltic countries were EUR
35.9 (33.7) million. Net sales of the Consumer Health business were EUR 32.0
(30.1) million.

Invoicing, indicating volume, of the Finnish wholesale business increased by
5.1 (-3.0) per cent to EUR 779.6 (741.6) million.

The EBITDA excluding non-recurring items of Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and
Baltics was EUR 18.6 (17.7) million and EBITDA was EUR 17.7 (17.7) million.

In Finnish wholesale business Oriola-KD renewed long term cooperation agreements
with MSD and Orifarm in the third quarter of 2015. Positive development of
invoicing was supported by an increase in sales of the key pharmaceutical
companies in the Finnish wholesale business. Service sales to the pharmaceutical
companies strengthened in Finnish wholesale business. Increased sales of
Oriolashop.fi supported the positive development of Consumer Health business'
net sales. Orion's traded goods products moved over to Oriolashop.fi as of 1
September 2014. However, as a result of continued tight competitive environment,
profitability of Consumer Health business decreased from the corresponding
period due to increased discounts.

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

1948056-9) ("Demerged Company") a disclosure according to which Mariatorp Oy on
August 31, 2015 has registered execution of a demerger. All Oriola-KD shares

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 2015-2019, the Finnish pharmaceutical market is
expected to grow at an annual rate of 1-4 per cent and  Swedish pharmaceutical
market is expected to grow an annual rate  of 2-5 per cent per year in the local
currencies (source: IMS Health).

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.

Strategy and Operational Model

On 17 August 2015, as part of the company's annual strategy work, Oriola-KD's
Board of Directors approved the company's updated strategy, new operating model
and new long-term financial targets. Oriola-KD's operations will be divided into
three business areas and operating segments: Consumer, Services and Healthcare.
The new operating model and responsibilities will be in force starting 1 January
2016.

Events after the review period

On 7 October 2015 the Disciplinary Committee of NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd has
imposed a public warning and a fine of EUR 50,000 on Oriola-KD Corporation due
to breaches of the Rules of the Exchange. According the decision Oriola-KD
Corporation has breached the Rules regarding the obligation to maintain adequate
administrative procedures and to disclose corrected information in connection to
the sale of its Russian businesses without undue delay.

On 8 December 8 2014, the company disclosed a stock exchange release on the sale
of its Russian businesses, including an estimate of the recognized loss. In a
stock exchange release dated 2 February  2015, the amount of the loss was
revised. According to the opinion of Oriola-KD the correction release was
published as soon as the recognized loss was verified in connection with the
annual closing process.

Financial statements release

Oriola-KD Corporation will publish its financial statements release for 2015 on
5 February 2016 at about 8.30 am.

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 - September 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.

Financial liabilities recognised at fair value through profit and loss (level
3) include estimated discounted fair value of a contingent consideration related
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.
