Page 1 of 16 OLVI PLC INTERIM REPORT 23 OCT 2008 at 9:45 am OLVI GROUP'S INTERIM REPORT, 1 JANUARY TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2008 (9 MONTHS) Olvi Group secured its future growth by acquiring a majority in the Belarusian brewery Lidskoe Pivo in early October.

January to September 2008 in brief - consolidated net sales increased by almost 10% - market position strengthened - substantial investments created required additional capacity

July to September 2008 in brief - net sales increased by 6.8% - earnings in Finland as well as the Baltic states were burdened by the rainy summer and increased production costs due to changes in packaging - Olvi has become the most appreciated beer brand among consumers. (Source: Brand survey conducted by Taloustutkimus for the Markkinointi&Mainonta magazine, 26 September 2008). In 2007 Olvi was ranked second.

Olvi Group's net sales from January to June increased by 9.6 percent while the sales volume increased by 1.4 percent. The sales prices of our products improved. This was not enough, however, as the costs of materials and supplies, human resources, energy and logistics increased more than expected. In Finland, refillable bottles have been used in parallel with recyclable plastic deposit bottles for the entire year. Maintaining two parallel systems has contributed to cost increases. There is clear upward pressure in pricing for 2009," says Lasse Aho, Managing Director of Olvi plc.

SALES VOLUME, NET SALES AND EARNINGS

OLVI GROUP

January to September 2008

From January to September, Olvi Group's sales volume increased by 1.4 percent to 263.3 (259.8) million litres, an increase of 3.5 million litres. The volume improvement in Finland was 6.5 million litres or 6.5 percent. The aggregate volume of the Baltic companies was 179.4 (182.1) million litres, representing a decrease of 2.7 million litres or 1.5 percent on the previous year.

The Group's net sales from January to September amounted to 170.6 (155.7) million euro, representing an increase of 14.9 million euro or 9.6 percent. Net sales in Finland improved by 9.6 million euro or 13.5 percent. Net sales in the Baltic states increased by 6.4 million euro or 6.9 percent.

Operating profit in Finland fell 2.7 million euro short of the previous year, while operating profit in the Baltic states declined by 1.0 million euro (excluding eliminations).

Earnings after taxes from January to September stood at 13.0 (16.4) million euro.

July to September 2008

Olvi Group's sales in the third quarter of 2008 amounted to 91.0 (91.4) million litres. Sales in Finland increased by 1.4 million litres but sales in the Baltic states declined by 4.1 million litres. Intra-Group sales declined by 2.4 million litres in the third quarter due to the commissioning of production investments.

Olvi Group's net sales in the third quarter increased by 6.8 percent to 60.0 (56.2) million euro. Net sales in Finland increased by 3.3 million euro or 13.1 percent, while net sales in the Baltic states were on a par with the previous year at 34.2 (34.1) million euro.

Olvi Group's operating profit for July-September stood at 6.2 (8.5) million euro, or 10.4 (15.2) percent of net sales. Operating profit in Finland declined by 1.0 million euro and in the Baltic states by 1.3 million euro.

Cool and rainy weather from July to September impacted sales and earnings development both in Finland and in the Baltic states.

PARENT COMPANY OLVI PLC

January to September 2008

The parent company Olvi plc's sales from January to September amounted to 106.9 (100.4) million litres, representing an increase of 6.5 million litres or 6.5 percent. Factors affecting the growth included Olvi plc's improved market position, good sales development in new product groups, as well as successful launches of new products. In terms of litres sold, the greatest increase was seen in beers, while proportional growth was greatest in long drinks. The sales of mineral waters and ciders remained on the previous year's level, while a slight decline was seen in soft drinks. 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 approximately one-third of Olvi plc's aggregate sales in Finland. The proportion of canned products is still increasing in beers and potentially in long drinks and ciders.

From the beginning of 2008, Olvi plc's market position in Finland is 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-September period continued to improve clearly on the previous year. Olvi's overall market share in the alcoholic product groups: beers, ciders and long drinks, including HoReCa sales, was 20.8 (17.7) percent. Olvi plc's market share in mineral waters was 19.9 (18.3) percent, including HoReCa sales.

Olvi plc's net sales from January to September stood at 80.5 (71.0) million euro, representing an increase of 9.6 million euro or 13.5 percent on the previous year. Net sales growth has clearly outperformed the growth in sales volume throughout the year.

Page 3 of 16 Olvi plc's operating profit in January-September stood at 4.7 (7.4) million euro or 5.8 (10.5) percent of net sales. The operating profit declined by 2.7 million euro.

The most significant factors behind the decline in profitability include substantially higher-than-expected demand for canned products and the lack of canning line capacity during the first half of the year. 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 systems across the entire industry. The situation is also affected by higherthan-expected cost increases in raw materials, packaging supplies, energy and logistics, which could not be fully transferred to price increases during the first half of the year.

Scrapping of the obsolete package inventory resulted in 1.3 (1.3) million euro of write-downs on inventories that burdened the January-June earnings.

July to September 2008

Olvi plc's sales in the third quarter amounted to 37.0 (35.6) million litres, representing an increase of 1.4 million litres or 3.9 percent. The rainy and cool summer hampered sales development in the third quarter. The parent company's net sales in July-September increased by 13.1 percent to 28.8 (25.5) million euro. Third-quarter operating profit amounted to 2.2 (3.2) million euro or 7.6 (12.6) percent of net sales.

Olvi plc launched several new products on the 1st of September, and these were discussed in the Q2 stock exchange release. Olvi Glögg Drink 4.7% is currently being introduced to the market in 0.5 L cans. It is an apple cider with a strong flavour of glögg, the Nordic form of mulled wine, and is targeted at consumers of cider as well as glögg.

During the autumn, Olvi plc will start to use the traditional barrel logo in the labels and other packaging materials for OLVI beers (Ykkönen, III, Export, Doppelbock, Dark and Christmas Beer). The traditional logo will completely replace the red rectangular logo used since 1978. According to a survey by Consumer Compass Oy, consumers regard the barrel logo more positive, more personal, more distinguishable and more appropriate for Olvi. Consumers clearly liked the barrel logo more.

AS A. LE COQ

January to September 2008

The total sales of the Estonian subsidiary AS A. Le Coq in January-September declined by 6.5 percent to 99.3 (106.2) million litres. The sales volume in beers 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, juices and energy drinks. The sales of ciders were on a par with the previous year. The sales decline 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 retained its market position.

AS A. Le Coq's market share in beers is approximately 38 percent and in ciders approximately 45 percent. AS A. Le Coq is the clear market leader in long drinks with an approximate 53 percent share. With the exception of mineral waters, AS A. Le Coq's market share has remained on a good and stable level also in other product groups.

Net sales in January—September increased by 1.0 million euro to 56.7 (55.7) million euro.

Page 4 of 16 AS A. Le Coq's operating profit in January-September was 9.7 (8.8) million euro or 17.2 (15.8) percent of net sales. The operating profit improved by 0.9 million euro or 10.8 percent. The operating profit improvement was made possible by production efficiency, an increased share of Premium products and cost control.

July to September 2008

AS A. Le Coq's sales from July to September amounted to 31.0 (37.2) million litres, while net sales stood at 18.0 (20.0) million euro. In addition to the overall sales decline across the industry, the rainy and cool summer impacted sales development also in the Baltic states. Operating profit for July-September stood at 3.1 (3.7) million euro, or 17.0 (18.6) percent of net sales.

AS A. Le Coq, which is the largest beverage manufacturer in Estonia, controls approximately one-half of the country's long drink market in terms of value as well as volume. This product group is A. Le Coq's most successful by market share, and saw the introduction of the new A. Le Coq Red Gin Red Mixer in 0.5 L cans and 1.5 L bottles in September.

FIZZ is the market-leading cider in Estonia, with a market share of more than 40 percent in both value and volume. The brand gained new momentum with the introduction of the new flavour FIZZ Yellow Plum Cider in late September. The product is available in 0.5 L cans and 1.5 L bottles.

AS A. Le Coq is the Estonian market leader in juices and launched the new product Aura Fruits of the Forest. The product contains 20 percent natural berry juice and is free of preservatives. It is sold in 1 L tetrapacks.

A/S CESU ALUS

January to September 2008

From January to September, the sales of A/S Cesu Alus, the subsidiary operating in Latvia, totalled 46.8 (42.2) million litres. This represents an increase of 4.5 million litres or 10.7 percent. 2.8 million litres of the sales improvement came from intra-Group sales. The growth in sales volume came from beers that represent approximately 70 percent of total sales.

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 are declining across all product groups.

The company's net sales from January to September amounted to 25.2 (20.8) million euro, representing an increase of 4.4 million euro or 21.3 percent.

Operating profit for January-September stood at 1.5 (2.1) million euro, or 6.0 (10.3) percent of net sales. The operating profit declined by 0.6 million euro on the previous year.

July to September 2008

In the third quarter, A/S Cesu Alus's sales increased by 0.9 million litres to 16.6 (15.7) million litres.

A/S Cesu Alus's net sales growth clearly outperformed the growth in sales volume. Third-quarter net sales stood at 9.2 (7.9) million euro, representing an increase of 1.3 million euro or 15.9 percent.

Third-quarter operating profit came to 0.6 (1.2) million euro, a decline of 0.6 million euro on the previous year's level. The operating profit represented 6.5 (14.7) percent of net sales.

Page 5 of 16 A/S Cesu Alus introduced the new FIZZ Yellow Plum Cider already familiar in Estonia. The new local beer Mitava, which was originally launched in the spring, was introduced in eight-packs in September. The local Cesu Special in 0.5 L transparent bottles was introduced in September in six-packs containing five bottles and a glass.

AB RAGUTIS

January to September 2008

The total sales of the Lithuanian subsidiary AB Ragutis in January-September were approximately on a par with the previous year at 33.3 (33.6) million litres. Compared with the previous year, the sales of soft drinks and the low-alcoholic Kwass malt beverage increased. Beers, long drinks and juices have approximately retained their previous-year levels, while the sales of ciders have clearly declined. AB Ragutis's sales to other Olvi Group companies increased by 1.7 million litres on the previous year. AB Ragutis's market position in beers has remained stable at slightly less than 10 percent. The company's market share in ciders has remained at approximately 27 percent in spite of the sales decline. The market share in long drinks is approximately 20 percent.

The company's net sales from January to September amounted to 18.3 (17.3) million euro, representing an increase of 1.0 million euro or 5.7 percent.

Operating profit in January-September stood at 0.3 (1.6) million euro, which was 1.5 (9.3) 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.

July to September 2008

AB Ragutis's sales in the third quarter amounted to 13.1 (11.9) million litres, representing an increase of 1.2 million litres or 9.8 percent.

The company's third-quarter net sales improved by 0.8 million euro to 7.0 (6.2) million euro. The operating profit stood at 0.3 (0.4) million euro, which was 4.8 (6.4) percent of net sales.

In September, AB Ragutis launched the new long drink A. Le Coq Red Gin Red Mixer in 0.5 L cans. The autumn's new FIZZ product, FIZZ Yellow Plum Cider, was launched also in Lithuania in 0.5 L cans and 1.5 L bottles in September. The Volfas Engelman beer, which was originally launched in Lithuania in May, saw the introduction of Volfas Engelman Porter 6.0% in 0.5 L bottles. Local novelties also included red and white wines in 0.7 L bottles, launched in September.

FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS

Olvi Group's balance sheet total at the end of September was 210.5 (174.0) million euro. Equity per share in January-September stood at 9.10 (8.35) euro. The equity to total assets ratio was 44.9 (49.7) percent. The amount of interestbearing liabilities was 66.2 (41.5) million euro, including current liabilities of 41.0 (9.7) million euro.

Olvi Group's gross capital expenditure in the period under review was exceptionally high. Capital expenditure increased to 27.8 (14.8) million euro. The parent company Olvi plc accounted for 12.1 million euro and the subsidiaries in the Baltic states for 15.7 million euro of the total.

The largest investments in 2008 in the parent company Olvi plc include a filling line for recyclable plastic deposit bottles, an automatic storage facility and a new canning line. The largest investments in Latvia include a canning line and a storehouse extension, and in Lithuania a PET plastic bottle filling line and a

Page 6 of 16 fermentation cellar extension. Most of the investments for 2008 have already been made, with the exception of the acquisition of shares in the Lidskoe Pivo brewery, which will be recognised in the final quarter.

Olvi Group's cash flow in the final quarter is expected to be clearly positive.

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. Olvi Group has launched several new products during the period under review.

PERSONNEL

Olvi Group's average number of personnel in January-September was 1,291 (1,219), 445 (387) of them in Finland, 402 (417) in Estonia, 234 (211) in Latvia and 210 (204) in Lithuania. The average number of personnel increased by 72 people or 5.9 percent on the previous year. The total number of personnel at the end of September was 1,212 (1,184).

CHANGES IN CORPORATE STRUCTURE

In the beginning of October, Olvi plc acquired a majority of shares in the Belarusian brewery Lidskoe Pivo. The acquisition was implemented through a private placing directed to Olvi plc by Lidskoe Pivo.

Lidskoe Pivo is in private ownership. After the transaction, Olvi plc is the majority shareholder with a 51 percent holding. The remaining 49 percent is distributed evenly among the brewery's personnel. The acquisition price was approximately USD 16 million, in addition to which Olvi plc has made a commitment to grant loans of USD 20 million to the company within the next five years for the purpose of business investments.

Lidskoe Pivo's net sales in 2007 amounted to USD 30.5 million at 70 million litres of annual production volume. Beer accounted for 62 percent of total production, with the remaining 38 percent consisting of soft drinks, mineral waters and kvass, which is a Russian-style low-alcoholic beer. The company was the fourth largest brewery in Belarus in 2007 and has a market share of approximately 12 percent. The brewery was established in 1876 and remains at its original location in the city of Lida, approximately 200 kilometres west of Minsk. The Lidskoe Pivo brewery is in a good technical and financial condition, and its products are of good quality. The greatest needs for investments are in logistics and sales. Production capacity will be increased.

The shares acquired through the private placing will probably be registered during the first week of November. If registration takes place as planned, the Lidskoe Pivo company will be consolidated with Olvi Group as of November 2008.

From July to September, Olvi Group increased its holding in A/S Cesu Alus by 11 shares or 0.01 percent. At the end of September 2008, Olvi plc's holding in A/S Cesu Alus stood at 98.16 percent, in AB Ragutis 99.57 percent and in AS A. Le Coq 100 percent.

BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN THE NEAR TERM

The financial situation in the Baltic states has worsened quickly. A factor contributing to this is the deepened financial crisis, which may impose pressure on foreign exchange rates.

The markets of the brewing industry are expected to decline in Finland and in the Baltic states. Profitable increases in sales volume will require the creation and maintenance of strong brands. As the consumers' purchasing power is declining and

Page 7 of 16 inflation is going up, less expensive product alternatives will be in favour.

The prices of raw materials and packaging supplies, as well as the costs of energy and logistics, will continue to increase towards the end of the year across Olvi Group's entire operating area. This will present a great challenge to control cost increases and improve productivity.

NEAR-TERM OUTLOOK

The overall market position of Olvi Group companies has remained good or improved both in Finland and in the Baltic states. Thanks to substantial investments, Olvi Group's capacity has increased by 45 percent in the current year, which enables cost-efficient production of versatile product ranges and packaging alternatives during the rest of the year. 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 net sales to increase, the market position to remain strong and the operating profit to decline on the previous year.

5. TREASURY SHARES

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 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 September 2008, the Board of Directors of Olvi plc has not exercised the authorisation granted by the General Meeting to acquire more treasury shares.

At the end of September 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.

6. 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 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. 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.

No accounting entries associated with the 2008-2010 vesting period were recognised in January-September 2008.

Olvi Group has no warrants or options.
