"Olvi Group's performance in the first half of the year was good. Our performance improved slightly on the previous year, and we are satisfied with this. Our performance improved substantially in Finland and Belarus. The performance figures in Estonia and Lithuania were almost on a par with the previous year but there was a decline in Latvia. We were able to improve our overall market position across the entire operating area, and Olvi Group's financial position improved. We have a confident outlook towards the rest of the operating year," says Lasse Aho, Managing Director of Olvi plc.

The sales of ciders increased by 2 percent and long drinks by 4 percent. The sales of soft drinks increased by 5 percent. The sales of juices declined slightly.

The company's net sales from January to June amounted to 14.7 (16.5) million euro, representing a decline of 1.8 million euro or 10.7 percent. The decline in net sales is due to a weakened structure of sales. The decline in net sales is almost entirely attributable to the second quarter.

The operating profit declined by 0.7 million euro or 66.1 percent compared to the previous year.

This represents an increase of 0.7 million euro or 58.6 percent on the previous year.

FLAGGING NOTICES

Olvi plc did not receive any flagging notices during the period under review.

BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN THE NEAR TERM

The global economy is recovering from the downturn that followed the financial crisis, and world trade is estimated to become livelier. The gross national product, employment rate and consumer demand are estimated to develop positively. However, there are great differences between countries. Any signs of an economic upturn particularly in Latvia and Lithuania are minor for the time being. If the positive development lasts only for a short term, weakening consumer purchasing power will cause a decrease in product demand and guide it towards products of a lower price category.

Country-specific downturns in the economic situation may affect customers' solvency and the schedule of payments, leading to credit losses. The control of accounts receivable has been intensified in order to prevent credit loss risks. On the othyer hand, credit loss risk is reduced by the fact that Olvi Group's customer base is wide and distributed in several countries.

Olvi's operations are dependent on the reliability of materials management, production facilities, logistics and IT systems. The aim is to prevent the realisation of related risks through continuous analysis and development of processes. Olvi Group companies have insurance covering their assets and business interruptions.

Olvi operates internationally, and its business involves risks arising from foreign exchange fluctuations due to cash flows from purchases and sales, as well as the conversion of balance sheet items in foreign subsidiaries into euro. Olvi Group's parent company is centrally responsible for managing foreign exchange and financing risks in accordance with the Board of Directors' guidance.

NEAR-TERM OUTLOOK

Olvi upgrades its outlook for 2010 thanks to performance development in the first half of the year, favourable summer weather and market outlook for the rest of the year.

Olvi Group's main objective for 2010 is to maintain good profitability. Olvi Group's comparable full-year operating profit for 2010 is expected to be on a par with the 2009 level.

PREVIOUS GUIDANCE

Interim Report 29 April 2010

Olvi Group's objective for 2010 is to maintain good profitability. Olvi Group's comparable full-year operating profit for 2010 is estimated to fall slightly short of the 2009 level.

5. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Olvi plc's Board of Directors decided on 26 January 2006 on a share-based incentive scheme for Olvi Group's key personnel.

The share-based bonus scheme is a part of the incentive and commitment scheme for the Group's key personnel and its purpose is to combine the objectives of shareholders and key personnel to improve the company's value.

The scheme includes two vesting periods, the first one extending from 1 January 2006 to 31 December 2007 and the second one from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2010. The amount of bonuses payable out of the scheme is linked to Olvi Group's net sales and the operating profit percentage in relation to net sales.

The bonuses are payable partially in Olvi plc's Series A shares and partially in cash. The proportion payable in cash covers the taxes and other statutory fees arising from the share-based bonuses. The bonuses for the first vesting period were paid in April 2008. The shares carried a ban on transferring them within two years of reception.

Any bonuses for the second vesting period will be paid in April 2011. 50 percent of the shares received as bonus for the second vesting period may be transferred after one year of reception, and 100 percent after two years of reception. The right to dividends begins when the shares are transferred to the key employees' book-entry accounts.

On the basis of this incentive scheme, a total of 48,000 Olvi plc Series A shares may become payable in 2011 for the second vesting period if the targets are achieved in full.

The target group of the scheme currently includes 20 key employees.

No accounting entries associated with the incentive scheme were recognised in January-June 2010 or January-June 2009. The incentive scheme does not have any diluting effect. Olvi Group has no warrants or options.

6. TREASURY SHARES

Olvi plc held a total of 12,400 of its own Series A shares on 1 January 2010. The total purchase price of treasury shares was 222 thousand euro.

Olvi plc has not acquired more treasury shares or transferred them to others in January-June 2010, which means that the number of Series A shares held by the company is unchanged on 30 June 2010.

Series A shares held by Olvi plc as treasury shares represented 0.12 percent of the share capital and 0.03 percent of the aggregate number of votes. The treasury shares represented 0.15 percent of all Series A shares and associated votes.

On 8 April 2010, the General Meeting of Shareholders of Olvi plc decided to revoke any unused authorisations to acquire treasury shares and authorise the Board of Directors of Olvi plc to decide on the acquisition of the company's own shares using distributable funds. The authorisation is valid for one year starting from the General Meeting and covers a maximum of 245,000 Series A shares.

The Annual General Meeting decided to revoke all existing unused authorisations for the transfer of own shares and authorise the Board of Directors of Olvi plc to decide on the transfer of any A shares acquired on the company's own account within one year of the Annual General Meeting.

The Board of Directors of Olvi plc has not exercised the acquisition or transfer authorisations granted by the General Meeting between January and June 2010.

Equity per share = Shareholders' equity held by parent company shareholders / Number of shares at end of period, adjusted for share issues

Gearing, % = (Interest-bearing debt – cash in hand and at bank) / (Shareholders' equity held by parent company shareholders + minority interest)
