Chief Executive´s Report - Record high second quarter operating profit and AAK Acceleration on track

Second quarter 2011

Operating profit for the second quarter 2011, excluding nonrecurring items of SEK 3 million, reached SEK 196 million (164), an improvement of 20 percent. At fixed exchange rates, operating profit improved by 32 percent. Earnings per share improved by SEK 0.39 or up 15 percent from SEK 2.65 to SEK 3.04.

During the second quarter of 2011 commodity volumes continued to decline, consistent with the previous quarter. The largest contributor to this reduction is our business in the UK which is now being restructured to match the future anticipated volumes with a better mix of speciality products.

Volumes of speciality products in Food Ingredients, Chocolate & Confectionery Fats and Technical Products & Feed continued to increase in line with strategy and the action plans defined in AAK Acceleration. Underlying margins in Chocolate & Confectionery Fats continued to be stable.

Continued positive impact of the AAK Acceleration program in Food Ingredients

In the largest business area, Food Ingredients, operating profit reached SEK 120 million (101*), an improvement of 19 percent. A continued increased proportion of high-value products with a more profitable product mix led to an operating profit at fixed exchange rates of SEK 131 million (101), an improvement of 30 percent.

The positive development continued in most speciality product areas, in particular for Infant Nutrition (Baby Food) and Dairy Industry.

In the second quarter of 2011 total volumes declined by 13 percent compared to the corresponding quarter in 2010. This decline is consistent with the trend during the previous quarter largely effected by refocusing in the UK market on speciality products. Accordingly, operating profit per kg in this business area has improved significantly.

Chocolate & Confectionery Fats – Strong volume growth and stable margins

The operating result amounted to SEK 70 million (57), an improvement of 23 percent. Volumes increased by 7 percent compared to last year. Operating profit at fixed exchange rates amounted to SEK 80 million (57), an improvement of 40 percent. Underlying margins in Chocolate & Confectionery Fats continued to be stable. The general market conditions remained stable.

Technical Products & Feed

Operating profit was SEK 28 million (28*). Volumes in the second quarter 2011 decreased by 7 percent compared to the corresponding quarter last year, mainly due to a planned, longer maintenance stop in June affecting primarily low margin feed deliveries. Speciality product volumes in Binol increased.

AAK strengthens its positions in North America by acquiring the flaked shortenings market leader, Golden Foods/Golden Brands

As announced on July 1, 2011 AAK has acquired the Golden Foods/Golden Brands business of Louisville, Kentucky, the leading North American processor of speciality fats and oils and manufacturer of shortenings for the bakery and food service industries.

The acquisition of Golden Foods/Golden Brands in the US is an integral part of the AAK Acceleration program, which calls, beyond organic growth, for selective acquisitions that synergistically benefit our customers; it significantly strengthens our ability to supply existing and new customers with a broader portfolio of speciality oils and fats solutions. As one of the largest speciality oil markets in the world, expansion in the US is also particularly exciting.

The product lines that AAK has acquired expand and complement our existing product portfolio and speciality strategy. The Golden Foods/Golden Brands organization will enjoy some AAK products and create good opportunities for mutual cross selling to the combined customer base. Further, the Louisville, Kentucky location also adds a new geographic dimension to our existing site in Port Newark, New Jersey, with significant advantages for all customers but particularly those located in the Midwest. From

now on, AAK's North American customers will enjoy service from two production sites in the US.

Founded in 1982 and located in Louisville, Kentucky, Golden Foods/Golden Brands employs approximately 160 people and had revenue of approximately USD 120 million in 2010.

The acquisition is expected to have only limited impact on the 2011 Group operating profit, but with material benefits beginning from the first quarter, 2012.

AAK - Additional rationalization program

During the second quarter 2011 the company announced an additional rationalization program in the UK operations in order to fully focus on our speciality strategy. This program was announced already in connection with the company's first quarter report in 2011.

The rationalization implies a further move away from larger volume low margin commodity products to more complex, lower volume speciality products at higher margins. The nonrecurring costs related to this program have been offset by the additional insurance compensation received as announced in the first quarter report 2011.

The ongoing productivity improvements in the Scandinavian units continue in line with plan.

Cash flow

As earlier predicted and communicated cash flow turned negative during the second quarter and the first six months as a consequence of significantly increased raw material prices during the last nine months. We have now most likely seen the major effect of the negative cash flow impact of these raw material price increases, subject to future development of raw material world market prices.

Concluding remarks

We continue to see positive effects of the AAK Acceleration program, both in terms of organic growth in speciality products, acquisitive growth and productivity. Speciality volumes increased organically, especially in Infant Nutrition, Dairy Industry and Chocolate & Confectionery Fats.

The acquisition of Golden Foods/Golden Brands significantly strengthens our ability to supply combined existing and new customers with a broader portfolio of speciality oils and fats solutions in the US.

We are now going into the third quarter and we remain prudently optimistic for the quarter and for the execution of AAK Acceleration.

Arne Frank CEO and President

* Starting with the first quarter of 2011 the Group´s operations in crushing will be reported as part of business area Technical Products & Feed. The crushing operation has previously been reported within the business area Food Ingredients. For further information, see page 17.

The AAK Group, second quarter 2011

Net sales

Net sales increased by SEK 313 million mainly due to increased raw material prices and a better product mix, partly offset by a negative currency translation impact of SEK 361 million.

Specialty volumes continued to increase in all business areas in line with our strategy. Commodity volumes for Food Ingredients and Technical Products & Feed declined during the second quarter.

Gross contribution

Excluding translation effects, gross contribution improved by SEK 47 million, the negative currency translation impact was SEK 68 million.

After including currency translation effects, gross contribution decreased by SEK 21 million.

Operating result

Operating profit for the second quarter 2011 reached SEK 196 million (164), an improvement of 20 percent. At fixed exchange rates, operating profit improved by 32 percent.

Operating profit per kilo increased from SEK 0.46 to SEK 0.60 or by 30 percent due to a higher portion of value added products. Speciality volumes increased; whilst low margin commodity volumes decreased.

Investments

Group investments in fixed assets totalled SEK 95 million (100), mainly comprising regular maintenance investments.

Cash flow

As anticipated, cash flow from operating activities was negative SEK 41 million (negative 5), as a result of the significant raw material price increases during the last nine months.

We have most likely seen the major negative cash flow impact of the raw material prices during the second half of 2010 ( six-nine months timing delay because of contracts). Raw material prices have decreased during the first six months of 2011, which will positively affect cash flow the first half of 2012.

Cash flow, after net investments of SEK 95 million (100), was negative SEK 136 million (negative 105).

Financial position

The equity/assets ratio amounted to 33 percent (34 percent as of 31 December 2010). During the second quarter we have paid SEK 184 million in dividend.

Net debt as of 30 June 2011 amounted to SEK 3,436 million (SEK 2,634 million on 31 December 2010). As of 30 June, the Group had total credit facilities of SEK 6,604 million.

Long term refinancing of SEK 4,200 million was finalized in January 2011 and comprises part of the total committed facilities of SEK 6,000 million for five years or more.

Employees

The average number of employees in the Group as at 30 June 2011 was 1,987 (2,101 on 31 December 2010), a reduction of 114 employees compared to year-end and 137 employees compared to the corresponding quarter last year. The net change consists of a reduction at our sites in Scandinavia, partly offset by increases in focused growth markets.

Net sales for the business area increased by SEK 139 million due to increased raw material prices and a better product mix, partly offset by negative currency translation impact of SEK 217 million.

Volumes for the business area declined in the second quarter by 13 percent, mainly due to structural changes in the UK and generally lower commodity volumes.

Gross contribution

Business Area Chocolate & Confectionery Fats, Q2 2011

Net sales

Net sales for the business area improved by SEK 125 million, or by 12 percent, due to volume growth, better product mix and raw material price increases, partly offset by negative translation effects of SEK 144 million.

Gross contribution

Excluding translation effects gross contribution increased by SEK 40 million.

During the second quarter the business area experienced negative translation effects of SEK 31 million. After including these, gross contribution increased by SEK 9 million.

Operating result

The operating result reached SEK 70 million (57), an increase of 23 percent. This result included a negative

translation impact of SEK 10 million.

At fixed exchange rates, operating profit was up 40 percent compared to last year.

Compared to last year, volume increased by 7 percent and operating profit per kg improved from SEK 0.83 to SEK 0.95. Prices for CBE continued to be stable during the second quarter.

The general market conditions were stable.

External factors/activities

The second quarter is seasonally the weakest quarter in the Chocolate & Confectionery Fats business area. There was continued strong demand in the Americas (North and South) and moderate demand in Europe.

Customers in Russia continue to be mainly focused on standard and economy brands in chocolate and confectionery while demand for premium products is still relatively low.

This is due to disposable income growth being limited and employment levels remaining unstable. (Source: Euromonitor)

Business Area Technical Products & Feed, Q2 2011

Net sales

Net sales for the business area improved by SEK 49 million, or 13 percent, mainly due to increased raw material prices and a better product mix.

Volumes in the second quarter 2011 decreased by 7 percent compared to the corresponding quarter last year. During the second quarter there was a planned, and slightly longer than normal, maintenance stop which resulted in reduced low

commodity volumes, mainly affecting the feed product segments.

Gross contribution

Gross contribution was unchanged in the second quarter 2011.

Operating result

Operating profit was SEK 28 million (28*), unchanged compared to the corresponding quarter last year. The improvement in operating profit per kilo was mainly due to reduced low margin commodity volumes.

External factors/activities

The biolubricant business continued to enjoy signs of market recovery. However, crushing margin seems to be under pressure in Europe.

* Starting with the first quarter of 2011 the Group´s operations in crushing will be reported as part of business area Technical Products & Feed. The crushing operation has previously been reported within the business area Food Ingredients. For further information, see page 17.

The AAK Group, first six months 2011

Net sales

Net sales increased by SEK 646 million due to increased raw material prices and better product mix, partly offset by a negative currency translation impact of SEK 640 million.

There are no major changes in the general market conditions for speciality products compared to last year.

Gross contribution

Excluding currency translation effects, gross contribution improved by SEK 92 million, while negative currency translation impact was SEK 122 million. After including currency translation effects, gross contribution decreased by SEK 30 million.

Operating result

Operating profit, excluding nonrecurring items of SEK 3 million, reached SEK 400 million (342), an improvement of 17 percent. At fixed exchange rates, operating profit amounted to SEK 432 million (342), an improvement of 26 percent.

Operating profit per kilo increased from SEK 0.48 to SEK 0.59 or by 23 percent due to a higher share of value added products. Volumes increased in the case of speciality products whilst low margin commodity volumes decreased.

Investments

Group investments in fixed assets totalled SEK 163 million (179), mainly comprising regular maintenance investments.

Cash flow

As anticipated, cash flow from operating activities was negative SEK 399 million (positive 310), as a result of the significant raw material price increases during the last six to nine months.

Cash flow, after net investments of SEK 163 million (179), was negative SEK 562 million (positive 131). Further, during the second quarter we paid a dividend of SEK 184 million.

General information

Related parties

No significant changes have taken place in relations or transactions with related parties since 2010.

Insurance compensation

As announced in the first quarter report 2011, the company did during the second quarter finalize the insurance case related to business interruption in 2008 and 2009.

The net impact of this settlement is basically offset by UK restructuring costs. The restructuring cost included some elements of non cash flow nature.

Risk and uncertainty factors

All business operations involve risk – a controlled approach to risk taking is a prerequisite in maintaining good profitability. Risk may be dependent upon events in the outside world and may affect a specific sector, market or country, and the risk may also be purely companyspecific.

At AAK, effective risk management is a continuing process carried out within the framework of operational management and forms a natural part of the day-to-day monitoring of operations.

External risks

The AAK Group is exposed to the fierce competition that characterises the industry, as well as fluctuations in raw material prices affecting working capital.

Financial risk

The operations of the AAK Group involve exposure to significant financial risks, particularly currency risks and raw material price risks.

Operational risk

The raw materials used in the operation are agricultural products, and availability may therefore vary due to climatic and other external factors.

Accounting principles in 2011

This interim report is prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. For information regarding the accounting policies applied, see the 2010 Annual Report. The accounting policies are unchanged, compared with those applied in 2010.
