"The strengthened market position across our entire operating area and the expansion into Belarus serve as good foundations for Olvi Group's growth," says Lasse Aho, Olvi plc's Managing Director.
On 2 October 2008 Olvi plc signed an agreement to acquire a majority of shares in the Belarusian brewery OAO Lidskoe Pivo. The acquisition was implemented through a private placing directed to Olvi plc by OAO Lidskoe Pivo. The shares received in the private placing were registered on 24 December 2008, resulting in 51 percent of the brewery's stock and voting rights being transferred to Olvi plc. The remaining 49 percent is distributed evenly among the brewery's personnel. The acquisition price was approximately USD 16 million or 12 million euro.
OAO Lidskoe Pivo is consolidated in Olvi Group's balance sheet as of 31 December 2008. The company's consolidation with Olvi Group has no effect on the income statement because Olvi plc only acquired control over the company in late December 2008.
OAO Lidskoe Pivo's net sales in 2008 amounted to 28.9 million euro, while the sales volume was 79.9 million litres (Belarus GAAP).
From October to December, Olvi Group increased its holding in A/S Cesu Alus by 11 shares or 0.04 percent. At the end of December 2008, Olvi plc's holding in A/S Cesu Alus stood at 98.2 percent, in AB Ragutis 99.57 percent and in AS A. Le Coq 100.0 percent.
SALES VOLUME, NET SALES AND EARNINGS
OLVI GROUP
January to December 2008
Olvi Group's sales volume in January-December was on a par with the previous year at 340.9 (341.8) million litres. The sales volume increased by 0.6 million litres in Finland but decreased by a total of 7.1 million litres in the Baltic states. The decreased sales volumes in the Baltic states were due to rainy and cold weather in the spring and summer, as well as a decrease in demand due to the progressing economic recession in all of the Baltic states. Internal sales between Group companies decreased by 5.6 million litres as substantial investments carried out in 2008 brought additional capacity to all Group companies.
The Group's net sales from January to December amounted to 222.1 (205.8) million euro, representing an increase of 16.9 million euro or 8.3 percent. Net sales in Finland improved by 9.7 million euro or 10.1 percent. Net sales in the Baltic states increased by 5.9 million euro or 4.9 percent. The net sales improvement was attributable to an increase in the mean price for products, which in turn is the result of a shift in consumption increasingly towards cans, recyclable plastic deposit bottles and cases. Correspondingly, the costs for these packaging materials are clearly higher in comparison to refillable bottles previously used.
Olvi Group's operating profit for January-December stood at 17.5 (23.1) million euro, or 7.9 (11.3) percent of net sales. The operating profit declined by 5.6 million euro on the previous year. The operating profit in Finland was 4.3 (8.5) million euro, representing a change of -4.3 million euro on the previous year. The operating profit in the Baltic states amounted to 12.9 (14.7) million euro (excluding eliminations).
The Group's January-December profit after taxes was 12.7 (18.9) million euro.
October to December 2008
Olvi Group's sales in the fourth quarter of 2008 amounted to 77.6 (81.9) million litres. The sales volume declined by 5.9 million litres, and sales in the Baltic states declined by a total of 4.3 million litres compared to the previous year. Intra-Group sales declined by 5.9 million litres in the fourth quarter.
Olvi Group's net sales in the fourth quarter increased by 4.1 percent to 51.5 (49.5) million euro. Net sales in Finland increased by 0.2 million euro, while net sales in the Baltic states declined by 0.5 million euro on the previous year. Intra-Group net sales declined by 2.3 million euro.
Olvi Group's operating profit for October-December stood at 1.0 (3.2) million euro, or 1.9 (6.4) percent of net sales. The operating result in Finland showed a loss. The operating profit in the Baltic states declined by 0.7 million euro.
PARENT COMPANY OLVI PLC
January to December 2008
The parent company Olvi plc's sales from January to December amounted to 138.2 (137.6) million litres, representing an increase of 0.6 million litres or 0.4 percent. In terms of litres sold as well as proportional growth, the greatest sales increase was seen in long drinks. The sales of beers in Finland increased by one million litres on the previous year. The sales of mineral waters and ciders remained on the previous year's level, while a slight decline was seen in soft drinks. Tax-free sales amounted to 3.4 (3.8) million litres and freighted work for the Baltic subsidiaries to 1.5 (6.0) million litres in 2008, totalling 3.6 (4.8) percent of total sales.
For the first half of the year, Olvi plc's sales development was hindered by a lack of canning capacity. The situation improved substantially in August when a new canning line was introduced to production. The share of canned products has increased to 36 percent of Olvi plc's aggregate sales in Finland.
From the beginning of 2008, Olvi plc's market position in Finland has been monitored using statistics from the Federation of the Brewing and Soft Drinks Industry as AC Nielsen market share monitoring is no longer available in Finland. According to the statistics, Olvi plc's overall market position in the main product groups in the January-December period continued to improve clearly on the previous year. Olvi's overall market share in the alcoholic product groups: beers, ciders and long drinks, was 20.0 (18.7) percent. Olvi plc's market share in mineral waters was 19.7 (18.0) percent.
Olvi plc's net sales from January to December stood at 106.3 (96.5) million euro, representing an increase of 9.7 million euro or 10.1 percent on the previous year. Net sales growth has clearly outperformed the growth in sales volume throughout the year.
Olvi plc's operating profit in January-December stood at 4.3 (8.5) million euro or 4.0 (8.8) percent of net sales. The operating profit declined by 4.3 million euro.
The most significant factors underlying the decline in profitability include the scrapping costs of obsolete packaging as the industry is changing over to singleuse packages, substantially higher-than-expected demand for canned products, as well as lack of canning line capacity in the spring and summer. The efficiency of operations was hampered by the introduction of several simultaneous major investments, as well as a slower-than-expected pace of adopting the new recyclable plastic bottle system and the resulting costs of maintaining two packaging systems simultaneously. The situation was also affected by higher-thanexpected cost increases in raw materials, packaging supplies, energy and logistics, which could not be fully transferred to prices during the operating year.
Scrapping of the obsolete package inventory due to the transition to single-use packaging resulted in 3.8 (1.8) million euro of non-recurring write-downs on inventories that burdened the January-December earnings.
October to December 2008
Olvi plc's sales in the fourth quarter amounted to 31.2 (37.1) million litres, representing a decline of 5.9 million litres on the previous year. The sales of ciders, long drinks and mineral waters increased during the review period.
The parent company's net sales from October to December increased by 0.7 percent to 25.8 (25.6) million euro. The operating result in the fourth quarter showed a loss of -0.4 million euro (profit of 1.1 million), or -1.7 (4.2) percent of net sales. The fourth-quarter figures include write-downs on package inventories for 2.5 million euro.
AS A. LE COQ
January to December 2008
The total sales of the Estonian subsidiary AS A. Le Coq in January-December amounted to 125.5 (138.2) million litres, representing a decline of 13 million litres or 9.4 percent on the previous year. The total sales include 17.7 (22.4) million litres of freighted work for other Group companies and 0.7 (1.9) million litres of tax-free exports. 7.1 million litres of the sales decline were attributable to domestic sales, while 4.7 million litres were attributable to freighted work for other Group companies. Tax-free exports declined by 1.2 million litres on the previous year.
The sales volume in beers and ciders was on a par with the previous year but declined clearly in mineral waters and well-being beverages, with a slight decline in soft drinks, long drinks and energy drinks. The decline in domestic Estonian sales is attributable to an overall decline in the volumes of all product groups across the Estonian beverage industry.
In spite of the declined sales volume, AS A. Le Coq has strengthened its market position. AS A. Le Coq's market share in beers is approximately 40 percent. AS A. Le Coq is the clear market leader in ciders and long drinks with a share of more than 55 percent. With the exception of mineral waters, AS A. Le Coq's market share has remained on a healthy level also in other product groups.
Net sales from January to December stood at 72.0 (72.5) million euro, representing a decline of 0.5 million euro or 0.7 percent on the previous year.
AS A. Le Coq's operating profit in January-December was 11.6 (10.9) million euro or 16.1 (15.0) percent of net sales. The operating profit improved by 0.8 million euro or 7.2 percent. The operating profit improvement was made possible by production efficiency, an increased share of Premium products and cost control.
AS A. Le Coq's sales in October-December amounted to 25.9 (31.9) million litres, representing a decline of 6.1 million litres. Fourth-quarter net sales stood at 15.3 (16.8) million euro, representing a decline of 1.5 million euro or 9.1 percent on the previous year. Operating profit for October-December stood at 1.9 (2.1) million euro, or 12.4 (12.2) percent of net sales.
A/S CESU ALUS
January to December 2008
From January to December, the sales of A/S Cesu Alus operating in Latvia totalled 58.7 (54.1) million litres. This represents an increase of 4.6 million litres or 8.6 percent. 1.8 million litres of the sales improvement came from increased intra-Group sales. The growth in Latvian domestic sales volume was attributable to beers that represent approximately 70 percent of total sales. The sales of soft drinks, mineral waters, ciders and long drinks were on a par with the previous year, while the sales of juices declined.
In the primary product group, beers, A/S Cesu Alus's market share is approximately 27 percent, and the brewery is clearly the number two player in the market. A/S Cesu Alus's market share in ciders and long drinks is approximately 40 percent. The overall volumes of the Latvian beverage market declined across all product groups.
The company's net sales from January to December amounted to 31.4 (26.7) million euro, representing an increase of 4.7 million euro or 17.5 percent.
Operating profit for January-December stood at 1.3 (2.3) million euro, or 4.1 (8.6) percent of net sales. The operating profit declined by 1.0 million euro on the previous year.
October to December 2008
A/S Cesu Alus's sales in the fourth quarter were on a par with the previous year at 12.0 (11.9) million litres.
A/S Cesu Alus's net sales increased by 0.3 million euro to 6.2 (5.9) million euro, an increase of 4.5 percent.
The operating result for October-December showed a loss of -0.2 million euro (profit of 0.2 million), which represents a decline of 0.4 million euro on the previous year. The operating profit represented -3.8 (2.5) percent of net sales.
AB RAGUTIS
January to December 2008
The total sales of the Lithuanian subsidiary AB Ragutis in January-December amounted to 44.1 (42.8) million litres, an increase of 1.3 million litres or 3.1 percent on the previous year. The sales increase is attributable to intra-Group sales. Sales to other Group companies amounted to 2.7 (1.0) million litres, an increase of 1.7 million litres. Tax-free exports increased by 0.2 million litres, while domestic sales in Lithuania declined by 0.6 million litres.
The sales of soft drinks and the low-alcoholic Kvass malt beverage purchased from OAO Lidskoe Pivo increased clearly. The sales of beers and long drinks remained on the previous year's level, while the sales of ciders and juices declined.
The market share of AB Ragutis's beers improved to 10.0 (9.2) percent, and the market share of long drinks improved to some 24 (21) percent. The company's market share in ciders is approximately 35 percent.
The company's net sales from January to December amounted to 23.8 (22.1) million euro, representing an increase of 1.7 million euro or 8.0 percent.
Operating profit in January-December stood at 0.03 (1.5) million euro, which was 0.1 (7.0) percent of net sales. Factors hampering the company's profitability include increases in the prices of raw materials and packaging supplies, as well as increased personnel and logistics costs. Problems with commissioning the new plastic bottle filling line delayed the start of production and utilisation of the investment.
AB Ragutis's sales in the fourth quarter amounted to 10.8 (9.2) million litres, representing an increase of 1.6 million litres or 17.6 percent.
The company's net sales in October-December improved by 0.8 million euro to 5.6 (4.8) million euro, an increase of 16.0 percent. The operating result showed a loss of -0.2 (-0.05) million euro, which was -4.3 (-1.0) percent of net sales.
Olvi Group's balance sheet total at the end of December was 244.2 (187.0) million euro. Equity per share in January-December stood at 9.07 (8.61) euro. The amount of interest-bearing liabilities was 82.2 (45.0) million euro, including current liabilities of 39.8 (16.4) million euro.
Olvi Group's gross capital expenditure in 2008 was exceptionally high. Capital expenditure increased to 43.6 (25.4) million euro. The parent company Olvi plc accounted for 25.6 million euro and the subsidiaries in the Baltic states for 18.0 million euro of the total.
The parent company Olvi plc's capital expenditure includes the acquisition price for shares in OAO Lidskoe Pivo, 12.0 million euro. The parent company's production investments in 2008 included a filling line for recyclable plastic deposit bottles, an automatic storage facility and a new canning line.
The largest investments in the Baltic subsidiares included a canning line and a storehouse extension in Latvia, as well as a PET plastic bottle filling line and a fermentation cellar extension in Lithuania.
The equity to total assets ratio was 43.3 (47.7) percent and remained good in spite of Olvi Group's substantial investments and the acquisition in Belarus.
Treasury shares held by Olvi plc are reported in the tables section of the financial statements bulletin, in Appendix 5, Note 6.
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. R&D costs in 2008 amounted to a total of 0.5 million euro, of which 0.45 million euro was recognised as expenses and 0.08 million euro was capitalised on the balance sheet.
2008 was an active year of product development. Olvi plc introduced products to the well-being and sports beverages segments. While representing only a very small volume up to date, these product groups reflect Olvi's desire of expanding into new product segments and developing healthier products for the beverage market. The recyclable plastic deposit bottle designed for Olvi by the internationally distinguished Finnish designer Harri Koskinen was introduced into use gradually, and in late 2008 it completely replaced the old refillable PET plastic bottle. New package sizes included a pint-size (0.568-litre) can, as well as a 0.95-litre recyclable plastic deposit bottle for soft drinks and mineral waters that was well-received by consumers and trade. The number of new products launched was more than thirty.
Olvi plc brought several novelties to retail stores on 1 January 2009. The most innovative was the TEHO energy drink effervescent tablet. The energy drink packaged in six-tablet tubes was well-received at retailers all over the country. Other new products included the OLVI Fruit soft drink, KevytOlo Sweet Pineapple and Sweet Queen in 0.95-litre packages, OLVI Light Grapefruit Long Drink in 0.5 litre cans and the Sandels 5-litre keg that brought draft beer to the home.
Several new products will be introduced in Finland on 1 April 2009. The soft drinks segment will be strengthened with four new products in 0.95-litre bottles that are sweetened with fruit sugar. This reduces the calorie count without artificial sweeteners.
Olvi plc will also launch the OLVI KevytOlo spring water. The product is a fresh natural product from Suomenselänharju springs. Naturalness is also emphasised in the new TEHO Apple-Citrus Energy Drink, with its 100% natural energising ingredients. The product is free of preservatives. The non-alcoholic segment will also see the introduction of KevytOlo Strawberry-Lemon, which gets its flavour from natural berries and fruits. An old favourite from years past, the OLVI Vaakuna beer, will be re-introduced after a break of approximately 10 years. The OLVI Long Drink range will be supplemented by a new cranberry flavour. The FIZZ Cooler range will be expanded by Tropical and Perry&Grape flavours.
2008 was a year of more intensified product development collaboration in the Baltic states. Several new products were introduced in all of the Baltic subsidiaries with the same content and either a local or Group-wide brand. These were supplemented by a number of local novelties to respond to local consumer demand. The Dynamite energy drink launched in 2007 established its position in 2008 as one of the most significant energy drinks in all of the Baltic states.
New product launches by the Estonian A. Le Coq included the A. Le Coq X-mas Porter beer and Limpa Wild Berry juice in late 2008, as well as the Sweet Orange nectar and a sports beverage with added apple juice in February 2009. New products were also launched for the Christmas season in Latvia, including the Cesu Christmas Porter beer, Cesu Dzins Winter Punch long drink and a Christmas soft drink.
Olvi Group's average number of personnel in January-December was 1,256 (1,211), 431 (389) of them in Finland, 388 (409) in Estonia, 231 (211) in Latvia and 206 (202) in Lithuania. The average number of personnel increased by 45 people or 3.7 percent on the previous year. The total number of personnel at the end of December was 2,069 (1,204), of which the Lidskoe Pivo brewery accounted for 927 employees.
The economy of the Baltic states is in recession. Construction and industrial investments have declined, and unemployment has increased substantially. Devaluation of currencies is a threat to all of the Baltic states, and this would substantially deteriorate the profit-making capacity denominated in euro. The Finnish economy is also in a decline, which is reflected in consumer behaviour.
The markets of the brewing industry are expected to decline in Finland and in the Baltic states. As the consumers' purchasing power is declining and inflation is going up, less expensive products will be in favour instead of Premium products.
The global financial crisis and subsequent economic decline have increased the costs of financing.
The overall beverage market will decline in Finland and in the Baltic states. However, Olvi Group companies have good opportunities to retain their overall market position also in the prevailing difficult economic situation. Completed investments will guarantee sufficient capacity and enable cost-efficient production across versatile product ranges and packaging alternatives. A crucial target is to fully utilise the completed additional capacity and to improve the entire Olvi Group's profitability and competitive ability.
We expect Olvi Group's profitability to remain at the present level or slightly improve in 2009.

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 carry a ban on transferring them within two years of reception.
On 17 December 2007, Olvi plc's Board of Directors decided on the targets for the second vesting period and the people included in the scheme. At the same time, the maximum number of shares that may be granted on the basis of the share-based incentive scheme was increased from 40,000 to 80,000. 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 21 key employees.
No accounting entries associated with the 2008-2010 vesting period were recognised in January-December 2008.
Olvi Group has no warrants or options.
On the basis of an authorisation granted by the General Meeting of Shareholders on 10 April 2008, the company's Board of Directors decided to hand over treasury shares acquired in 2006 and 2007 for use as rewards in Olvi Group's share-based incentive system for key personnel for the achievement of targets for 2006 and 2007. A total of 29,600 treasury shares were handed over to the Group's key personnel in April 2008.
On 10 April 2008, the General Meeting of Shareholders of Olvi plc decided to 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.
From January to December 2008, the Board of Directors of Olvi plc has not exercised the authorisation granted by the General Meeting to acquire treasury shares.
At the end of December 2008, Olvi plc held a total of 2,400 of its own Series A shares acquired for a price of 54 thousand euro. Treasury shares held by Olvi plc represent 0.02 percent of the share capital and 0.01 percent of the aggregate number of votes. The treasury shares represent 0.03 percent of all Series A shares and associated votes.
