"Atria's net sales increased, and EBIT improved in the final quarter of the year and in 2017 as a whole. Growth from the beginning of the year amounted to approximately EUR 85 million, and EBIT improved by approximately EUR 10 million. EBIT was positive in all business areas. The Healthy Growth strategy has been put into practice – growth has been attained and profitability has improved. The boosted profitability is due in large part to product price management, and it is the result of long-term productivity development.
Economic trends on Atria's home markets are currently good, and this is also having a positive effect on the development of food markets.
Development in Finland, the Baltic states and Russia has corresponded to the targets. In Scandinavia, we were not able to meet our earnings targets, although net sales also increased in Scandinavia.
Competition will remain intense. Under these conditions, it is important to ensure that everyday business is conducted in a managed way with no surprises. Atria performed in a stable manner throughout 2017. The growth in sales of Atria's own brands was particularly pleasing.
The most successful product innovation in 2017 was the new packaging for minced meat. The packaging has won several international awards in the packaging field and, above all, minced meat has been commercially successful in its new packaging.
The investment in the Nurmo pig cutting plant has been completed in full, and commissioning is now underway in the sections that were the last to be completed. In Sweden, the investment in the poultry unit has proceeded on schedule and in line with cost estimates. The key parts of the investment are already in production use. At the end of the year, investment was proceeding in the cutting and packaging areas, and Atria will be using a fully modern poultry unit by the end of 2018."
Atria Group's net sales for October–December amounted to EUR 374.4 million (EUR 356.8 million). EBIT amounted to EUR 13.4 million (EUR 10.8 million). Adjusted EBIT amounted to EUR 12.1 million (EUR 10.8 million). Net sales grew in all business areas. The improvement in net sales is based on organic growth. The increase in EBIT was due to profitable growth, good cost management and productivity improvements.
In October, Atria decided to centralise pig slaughtering and cutting by moving these operations from Jyväskylä to the Nurmo plant. Beef processing in Jyväskylä will be unaffected. The restructuring will result in annual savings of approximately EUR 1.2 million, which will be realised from June 2018 onwards. This means 17 redundancies and temporary lay-offs affecting every member of personnel at the Jyväskylä production plant. Every redundant member of personnel was offered the opportunity to transfer to a different Atria unit.
The decision was made to alter Atria Group's operational structure and financial reporting as of the beginning of 2018. Atria Scandinavia's organisation was simplified and a separate segment was created for the operations in Sweden. The businesses in Denmark and Estonia constitutes a single business area and reporting segment. The name of the new business area is Atria Denmark & Estonia. As of 1 January
2018, Atria Group's reporting segments are as follows: Atria Finland, Atria Sweden, Atria Russia and Atria Denmark & Estonia.
Changes were made to Atria Plc's Management Team as of 1 January 2018. The CFO, Heikki Kyntäjä, retired and Tomas Back was nominated Atria Plc's CFO and Deputy CEO. He was also nominated director of Atria Denmark. Jarmo Lindholm transfers from the position of Executive Vice President of the Atria Russia business area to become the Executive Vice President of the Atria Sweden business area. The process to identify a new EVP for the Atria Russia business area has begun. For the time being, the duties of the EVP of Atria Russia are being performed by the CFO, Andrey Shkredov.
Atria Group's net sales for January–December totalled EUR 1,436.2 million (EUR 1,351.8 million). EBIT was EUR 40.9 million (EUR 31.8 million). Adjusted EBIT amounted to EUR 39.6 million (EUR 31.4 million). Atria consistently implemented its Healthy Growth strategy and concentrated on achieving organic growth, which translated into improved net sales and profitability. Net sales increased and EBIT was positive in all business areas. The acquisitions completed during 2016 were part of the growth. The investments and development programmes for improving productivity in line with the Healthy Growth strategy supported the growth in EBIT.
In January, Atria Finland Ltd made an agreement to deliver its first batch of meat to China. Atria delivered approximately three million kilogrammes of frozen pork products to China in 2017. The first batch of products arrived in China at the end of June.
Atria is working with Nurmon Aurinko Oy to build a solar power park next to Atria's Nurmo production plant. The construction project for Finland's largest solar power park reached a phase where the first solar panels could be taken into use in July.
In August, Atria launched antibiotic-free chicken. The consumer packages bear the marking, "antibioticfree", which shows that no antibiotics of any kind were used when the chickens were raised. An equivalent concept for pork will be launched in February 2018. Atria's beef contract production farms initiated a pilot project to trial antibiotic-free beef production. The first batches of antibiotic-free beef will go on sale at the beginning of 2018.
The construction of new production premises at the poultry plant in Sweden has progressed in accordance with the investment programme. The new production plant will be commissioned in phases by the end of 2018.

Atria Finland's net sales for the fourth quarter totalled EUR 260.7 million (EUR 246.6 million). Net sales grew in all sales channels. EBIT amounted to EUR 11.4 million (EUR 10.8 million). The rise in EBIT was due to profitable growth in net sales and good cost management.
Net sales for January-December amounted to EUR 986.4 million (EUR 932.3 million). The growth in net sales was due to increased sales in all channels and the consolidation of the Kaivon Liha business into Atria as of the beginning of the final quarter of 2016. EBIT amounted to EUR 36.3 million (EUR 24.2 million). Atria's focus on organic and profitable growth in line with its Healthy Growth strategy and its successful cost management translated into improvements in EBIT.
Atria's market share and manufacturer's share in retail and amongst Food Service customers strengthened between October and December. For the year as a whole, market share remained at a similar level yearon-year, approximately 25 per cent. (Source: Atria)
In January, Atria Finland Ltd made an agreement to deliver its first batch of meat to China. Atria delivered approximately three million kilogrammes of frozen pork products to China in 2017. The first batch of products arrived in China at the end of June.
The investment in the pig cutting plant project at the Nurmo production plant was completed on schedule at the end of 2017. The value of the investment is EUR 36 million, and the savings will begin to materialise in early 2018.
Together with Nurmon Aurinko Oy, Atria will build the largest solar power park in Finland next to the Nurmo production plant. The construction of the first phase of the project, partly financed by the Finnish Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment, started at the beginning of June. The first sections of the solar power park were connected to Atria's power grid at the end of July. The solar power park is expected to be fully ready for commissioning in autumn 2018.
In October, Atria decided to centralise pig slaughtering and cutting by moving these operations from Jyväskylä to the Nurmo plant. Beef processing will stay in Jyväskylä. The restructuring will result in annual savings of approximately EUR 1.2 million, which will be realised from June 2018 onwards. This means 17 redundancies and temporary lay-offs affecting every member of personnel at the Jyväskylä production plant. Every redundant member of personnel was offered the opportunity to transfer to a different Atria unit.
In December, the World Packaging Organization (WPO) selected the world's best packaging for 2018. Atria's new minced meat packaging was the winner of its class, and it was named the WorldStar in the
15 February 2018, 8:00 am
field of packaging. The panel of judges decided that Atria's new packaging was the best in the world thanks to its environmental friendliness and commercial merit. The packaging is manufactured from flexible plastic, which reduces material consumption and saves space when the product is being transported, stocked on shop shelves and stored in the refrigerator, and when the package is ultimately disposed of.
Atria Beef contract production farms began a pilot project to trial antibiotic-free beef production. The pilot will determine which actions farms must take to monitor medication and how the amount of medication – which is already low by international standards – could be decreased even further. In autumn 2017, Atria launched antibiotic-free chicken. Antibiotic-free pork will be launched in February 2018.

Atria Scandinavia's net sales for the fourth quarter totalled EUR 90.1 million (EUR 88.3 million). In the local currency, net sales grew by 2.4 per cent. EBIT amounted to EUR 2.2 million (EUR 0.7 million). EBIT includes EUR 1.4 million of capital gains on the sale of shares in Nordic Fast Food AB.
Net sales for January-December amounted to EUR 355.1 million (EUR 343.4 million). In the local currency, net sales grew by 4.8 per cent. The growth in net sales was mainly due to the consolidation of the Lagerbergs poultry company into Atria in 2016, with 2 per cent organic growth. EBIT amounted to EUR 4.8 million (EUR 8.4 million). Adjusted EBIT was EUR 3.5 million (EUR 7.0 million). The decrease in EBIT was due to the poor performance of the poultry business and higher raw material prices.
Consumer demand for poultry in Sweden was dampened by cases of Campylobacter on chicken farms in the first half of 2017. Demand for fresh poultry on the retail market in Sweden decreased by 4 per cent over 2017. In 2016, the product group saw demand grow by 13 per cent. (Source: AC Nielsen) The sudden drop in demand over 2017 led to an over-supply of poultry on the market, forcing the prices of poultry down. In the final quarter of 2017, the poultry market contracted by one per cent.
The construction of new production premises at the poultry plant has progressed in accordance with the investment programme. The new production plant will be commissioned in phases by the end of 2018.
Atria's market share in cold cuts and cooking sausages decreased slightly in Sweden. The market share of Atria's own-brand fresh poultry products in Sweden increased over 2017. At the end of the year, Atria launched the revamped Ridderheims brand on the Swedish market, with new packaging and product concepts. The Pastejköket vegetable pâté launched in 2017 was one of the most successful new products.

In December, Atria Plc refinanced a committed credit facility of EUR 25 million that was due to mature in November 2019 by taking out a new EUR 25 million five-year committed credit facility.
During the period under review, the Group's free cash flow (operating cash flow - cash flow from investments) was EUR +19.2 million (EUR -2.5 million). Operating cash flow was EUR +64.5 million (EUR +64.8 million), and the cash flow from investments was EUR -45.3 million (EUR -67.3 million). Operating cash flow was weakened by the financing expenses paid out and higher taxes than in the comparison period.
The Group's investments during the period totalled EUR 53.9 million (EUR 82.9 million).
The equity ratio was 47.5 per cent (31 December 2016: 46.5%). The total translation differences with the Russian rouble and the Swedish krona recognised in equity reduced equity by EUR 6.1 million (EUR +6.6 million) in January–December. Interest-bearing net liabilities amounted to EUR 211.1 million (31 December 2016: EUR 213.3 million). On 31 December 2017, the Group had undrawn committed credit facilities worth EUR 105.0 million (31 December 2016: EUR 105.0 million). The average maturity of loans and committed credit facilities at the end of the period under review was 3 years 4 months (31 December 2016: 3 years 9 months).
Incidents related to the quality and safety of raw materials and products in any part of the chain, from primary production to consumption, are ordinary short-term risks in Atria's business environment. Price trends for raw materials, the general economic climate, market development and competitors' operations can give rise to uncertainty in the demand for Atria's products.
Other potential short-term uncertainties in Atria's operations are related to implementing the strategy, maintaining or improving the financial results of business areas and integrating acquired businesses.
African swine fever continues to cause disruption in Estonia. There is a risk of it spreading to Finland. Atria has taken several precautionary measures to prevent the disease from spreading into its production facilities, and strives to manage the risk.
Changes in the value of the Russian rouble and the Swedish krona are reflected in the Group's eurodenominated net sales and result. A more detailed description of the risks related to the company's operations is provided in the annual report.

a) the right to nominate a representative to the Nomination Committee is determined on the same basis as before, but in accordance with the situation on the first banking day of the September preceding the Annual General Meeting, that is, two months earlier than according to the previous charter;
b) accordingly, shareholders obligated to notify the company of certain changes in shareholding when necessary under the Finnish Securities Markets Act, or shareholders who have holdings in several funds or registers, must present a request to the company's Board of Directors to calculate their holdings when calculating their voting rights by the end of August, two months earlier than according to the previous charter;
c) a note is added to the charter that a shareholder with nominee-registered shares is considered when defining the composition of the Shareholders' Nomination Committee, if the holder of nomineeregistered shares presents a request regarding the matter to the company's Board of Directors by the end of August preceding the General Meeting; and that
d) the charter is expanded by adding some rules mainly regarding the procedures of the internal operations of the Shareholders' Nomination Committee, including the tasks of the Chairman, the decision-making procedure of the Shareholders' Nomination Committee, confidentiality, and altering the charter.

At its constitutive meeting, which was held after the Annual General Meeting, Atria Plc's Supervisory Board elected Jukka Kaikkonen as its new Chairman and Juho Anttikoski as its Deputy Chairman.
Atria's corporate governance principles and deviations from the Finnish Corporate Governance Code are published on the company's website at www.atria.com.
Atria's long-term incentive programme is implemented over a series of earning periods, each of which lasts three years.
The potential bonus for the 2015–2017 earning period was based on the Group's earnings per share (EPS) excluding non-recurring items. Bonuses earned during the period will be paid in instalments in the coming years. Cash bonuses payable under the plan for the entire 2015–2017 earning period are capped at EUR 4.5 million. The plan expired on 31 December 2017, and it covers a maximum of 45 people. The CEO and other members of the Group's Management Team are covered by the programme. Bonuses worth EUR 2.1 million were accrued for the entire 2015–2017 earning period.
The maximum merit pay under Atria Plc's short-term incentive programme is 25–50 per cent of the annual salary, based on the earnings impact and complexity of the job. The criteria in the merit pay scheme are the performance requirements and net sales at Group level and in the area of responsibility of the person concerned. In addition to the CEO and other members of the Management Team, Atria Plc's merit pay schemes cover approximately 40 people.
Atria Plc's Board of Directors decided upon a long-term incentive programme for key personnel for 2018– 2020. The new programme is based on incentives paid in shares and cash, and it is divided into three earnings periods of one year, with the first earning period beginning on 1 January 2018 and ending on 31 December 2018. The bonuses payable under the programme are based on the company's earnings per share (70 per cent) and organic growth (30 per cent).
The bonuses for 2018 will be paid in three equal instalments in 2019, 2020 and 2021, partly in the form of shares in the company and partly in cash. The cash sum is intended to cover the taxes and tax-like fees arising from the bonus. If a person's employment relationship ends before the payment of the bonus, the bonus will not usually be paid.
The target group for the share incentive programme can contain a maximum of 40 people. The total value of bonuses payable for the 2018 earning period can be up to EUR 2 million.
The aim of the new incentive programme is to encourage Atria's senior management to acquire shares in the company and to take action and make decisions that will increase the company's long-term value.

This financial statement release was prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting standard. Atria has applied the same principles in preparing this financial statement release as in preparing the 2016 annual financial statements. However, since 1 January 2017, the Group has adopted the new or revised standards and IFRIC interpretations published by the IASB included in the accounting principles of the annual financial statements of 2016. None of these new or revised standards or interpretations had any impact on the figures presented for the period under review.
IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, will be adopted on 1 January 2018. The new standard will replace the current IAS 11 and IAS 18 revenue recognition standards and related interpretations. The IFRS 15 standard applies a five-step model for recognising revenue from contracts with customers by identifying the customer contracts, identifying the individual performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and the actual moment when the revenue is recognised. The basic principle of the new standard is that revenue is recognised when control over goods or services is transferred to the customer. The majority of the Group's customer contracts concern the sales of food products. Delivery is usually made within 24 hours, and control is transferred upon delivery. The adoption of the standard has no significant impact on the consolidated income statement, balance sheet or cash flow. IFRS 15 will not affect the company's systems and processes. The standard will be adopted for the financial period beginning 1 January 2018 by providing additional information non-retrospectively.
IFRS 9, Financial instruments, takes effect on 1 January 2018. IFRS 9 changes the classification and valuation of financial assets and liabilities, the determination of impairments on such instruments, and the principles to be applied to hedge accounting. The new standard will not cause major changes to the recognition and valuation of the Group's financial assets. The majority of the Group's financial assets are trade receivables, loan receivables and other types of receivable. They are valued at deferred acquisition cost. In accordance with the business model, these investments are held until their due date, and the cash flows based on the contract accrue from principal payments and interest. The profit or loss realised on the sale of financial assets valued at fair value through other items of comprehensive income is no longer recognised through profit and loss at the time of sale. Changes in fair value are transferred to retained earnings through comprehensive income. In line with the new impairment model, an impairment is recognised for foreseeable credit losses. The credit loss provision in accordance with IAS 39 was based on the amount of realised credit losses. In recent years, the number of realised credit losses sustained by the Group has been insubstantial, and the amount of foreseeable credit losses is presumed to remain insubstantial, so no major changes to the amount recognised as a credit loss provision are forthcoming. The accounting treatment of financial liabilities will not change. The rules concerning derecognition from the balance sheet have been transferred unchanged from IAS 39 Financial Instruments: recognition and measurement.
The new hedge accounting rules bring hedge accounting closer to the Group's risk management practices. More hedging relationships than before may meet the requirements for the application of hedge accounting as the standard follows a more principle-based approach. The retrospective testing of the effectiveness of hedging and the 80–125 per cent effectiveness requirement in IAS 39 will be removed. In hedging relationships in accordance with IFRS 9, the number of ineffective hedges is expected to be lower than previously. The impacts on Atria Group are mainly connected with electricity hedge accounting, for which the system-priced risk and regional price difference risk can be treated separately in hedge accounting. The Group will apply the new rules retrospectively from 1 January 2018, with the practical expedients permitted under the standard.
23/26
IFRS 16, Leases, will be adopted on 1 January 2019. The new standard replaces the existing IAS 17 Leases standard.
IFRS 16 mainly affects the accounts of lessees, as the standard removes the current division between operational leases and finance leases from the point of view of lessees. Consequentially, all leases other than low-value, short-term leases are entered into the balance sheet. The leases within the scope of application will continue to lead to the recognition of an asset item and a financial liability applying to the obligation to pay rent. The standard will also affect the income statement because the total costs are typically higher during the first half of the term of the lease and lower towards the end. In addition, lease expenses will be replaced by interest and depreciation, which will affect key indicators such as EBIT. There will be no major changes to the accounting of lessors: leases will continue to be categorised as either finance or operating leases.
Atria initiated a project in 2017 to study the adoption of the standard. The Group's leases have been identified and the demands for the system required to manage leases have been analysed. At the end of the financial period, the Group had approximately EUR 30 million of non-cancellable lease obligations based on operating leases. The majority of these will be entered into the balance sheet in accordance with IFRS 16.
Evaluation of the updated definition of a lease period and the adjustment arising from the different treatment of variable lease payments and extension and termination options is still underway. For this reason, it is not yet possible to estimate the amounts of fixed asset items and lease liabilities to be recognised when the new standard is adopted, nor how this will affect consolidated EBIT and the classification of cash flows in the future. The standard will be adopted for the financial period beginning 1 January 2019. The aim is to apply a simplified approach to the transition, and the comparable figures for the year preceding adoption will not be adjusted.
The principles for calculating the indicators were set out in the 2016 financial statements. In the company's view, the indicators presented serve to clarify the view provided by the income statement and balance sheet of the operational result and financial position of the business.
The figures presented in the release are rounded to EUR million, which is why the combined total of individual figures may differ from the total sum presented. The figures in this interim report are unaudited.
