Review 1 January–31 March 2013

Atria Group's net sales for January–March totalled EUR 328.4 million (EUR 308.6 million), showing growth of EUR 19.8 million year-on-year. EBIT improved by EUR 3.1 million year-on-year, amounting to EUR 3.2 million (EUR 0.1 million). EBIT includes a non-recurring profit of EUR 1.1 million resulting from a reversal of impairment on a property that had been for sale. The property will be used in the company's own production.

Atria issued a EUR 50 million bond with fixed interest rate during the review period. The funds received will be used for refinancing and for the Group's general financing needs. The loan period is five years and a coupon rate of 4.375 per cent is payable on the loan. The bonds are subject to public trade on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd stock exchange.

The Group's free cash flow for the period (operating cash flow - cash flow from investments) was EUR -3.8 million (EUR -5.5 million), and net liabilities were EUR 372.1 million (EUR 411.6 million).

Atria Finland's net sales for January–March totalled EUR 205.1 million (EUR 188.5 million), up by EUR 16.6 million year-on-year. EBIT improved by EUR 1.5 million year-on-year, amounting to EUR 6.7 million (EUR 5.2 million). EBIT includes a non-recurring profit of EUR 1.1 million resulting from a reversal of impairment on a property that had been for sale. The property will be used in the company's own production. Higher sale prices and slightly higher sales volumes also improved EBIT. The prices of meat raw materials continued to rise.

Atria Scandinavia's net sales for January–March totalled EUR 94.2 million (EUR 89.5 million), representing an increase of EUR 4.7 million year-on-year. In the local currency, net sales grew by 1.5 per cent year-onyear. EBIT amounted to EUR 0.1 million (EUR 0.2 million). The prices of meat raw materials have remained high, which impaired EBIT development.

Atria Russia's net sales for January–March amounted to EUR 27.4 million (EUR 28.3 million). In the local currency, net sales decreased by 1.0 per cent year-on-year. EBIT was EUR -3.1 million (EUR -3.3 million). The result for industrial operations improved, and efficiency improvement measures showed results. The weakening of primary production profitability, which started in the latter part of last year, continued to impair performance at the beginning of the year.

Atria Baltic's net sales for January–March totalled EUR 7.2 million (EUR 7.9 million), representing a fall of EUR 0.7 million year-on-year. EBIT was EUR -0.4 million (EUR -0.5 million), an improvement of EUR 0.1 million year-on-year.

Atria Finland's net sales for January–March totalled EUR 205.1 million (EUR 188.5 million), up by EUR 16.6 million year-on-year. EBIT improved by EUR 1.5 million year-on-year, amounting to EUR 6.7 million (EUR 5.2 million). EBIT includes a non-recurring profit of EUR 1.1 million resulting from a reversal of impairment on a property that had been for sale. The property will be used in the company's own production. Higher sale prices and slightly higher sales volumes also improved EBIT. The prices of meat raw materials continued to rise.

According to Atria's own estimate, its total market share in the retail trade was approximately 25 per cent, which is at the same level as in the previous year. Atria succeeded particularly well in the cooking sausages, poultry and convenience food product groups, where it strengthened its market position in terms of its share of total market share (measured in value). Sales of cold cuts also increased compared to the previous year.

All meat used as raw material for Atria products is domestically sourced. Domestic raw material prices were higher than in the same period of the previous year.

The refurbishment of the chicken hatchery is progressing on schedule. The hatchery will be completed in spring 2013. Part of its additional capacity is already in use.

Atria Finland launched a programme to improve the productivity of convenience food production during the review period. Employer-employee negotiations concerning the reorganisation plans were completed after the review period on 22 April 2013. The company decided to concentrate production of convenience food from Karkkila to the Nurmo plant. The programme is expected to generate annual cost savings of EUR 1 million. All employees affected by the negotiations have been offered jobs at Atria's other production plants.

The projects in the Atria's Handprint programme are progressing according to plan. In 2013, the programme will focus on increasing production transparency and traceability. After launching traceable chicken products a year ago, Atria will launch traceable beef products in April and traceable pork products in May. Effective campaigning will be used in conjunction with both launches.

Atria Scandinavia's net sales for January–March totalled EUR 94.2 million (EUR 89.5 million), representing an increase of EUR 4.7 million year-on-year. In the local currency, net sales grew by 1.5 per cent year-onyear. EBIT amounted to EUR 0.1 million (EUR 0.2 million). The prices of meat raw materials have remained high, which impaired EBIT development.

In cold cuts and sausages, sales of Atria's own labels grew steadily. In particular, the 3-Stjernet cold cuts manufactured in Denmark strengthened their market share (source: AC Nielsen).

The expansion of the Sibylla fast food concept has progressed according to plan. At the moment, there are a total of 3,200 Sibylla sales outlets in Europe and Russia.

The programme launched a year ago to improve the profitability of Atria Scandinavia's production of meat products was completed at the end of 2012. The manufacture of ham products and the slicing of cold cuts were transferred from the Halmstad plant to the Malmö plant and the Halmstad plant was closed down. Annual savings of approximately EUR 1.5 million began to materialise in full at the beginning of 2013.

EBIT was EUR -3.1 million (EUR -3.3 million). The result for industrial operations improved, and efficiency improvement measures showed results. The weakening of primary production profitability, which started in the latter part of last year, continued to impair performance at the beginning of the year. The price of live pigs has decreased by about 30 per cent during the last two quarters.

Atria estimates that market shares have remained stable in St Petersburg, where Atria is the market leader in the product groups it represents.

Efficiency projects are being implemented continuously at the Sinyavino and Gorelovo plants.

Atria Baltic 1 January – 31 March 2013

* Non-recurring items are included in the reported figures.

Atria Baltic's net sales for January–March totalled EUR 7.2 million (EUR 7.9 million), representing a fall of EUR 0.7 million year-on-year. EBIT was EUR -0.4 million (EUR -0.5 million), an improvement of EUR 0.1 million year-on-year.

The decrease in net sales was caused by lower sales of primary production and by the discontinuation of exports to Russia. The Tartu logistics centre was closed down and transferred to the Valga plant.

Financing, cash flow, investments and equity ratio

In March, Atria Plc issued a EUR 50 million bond with fixed interest rate and a loan period of five years. The bond is listed on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki stock exchange. The funds received will be used to refinance a EUR 40 million bond maturing on 10 July 2013 as well as for the Group's general financing needs.

On 31 March 2013, the amount of the Group's undrawn committed credit facilities stood at EUR 178.9 million (31 December 2012: EUR 153 million). The average maturity of loans and committed credit facilities at the end of the review period was 2 years 11 months (31 December 2012: 2 years 10 months).

During the review period, the Group's free cash flow (operating cash flow - cash flow from investments) was EUR -3.8 million (EUR -5.5 million). Interest-bearing net liabilities amounted to EUR 372.1 million (EUR 411.6 million). The Group's investments during the period totalled EUR 8.8 million (EUR 11.0 million). The equity ratio was 41.5 per cent (31 December 2012: 41.5 %).

Events after the review period

Employer-employee negotiations concerning the organisation of Atria Finland convenience food production were completed after the review period on 22 April 2013. The company decided to concentrate production of convenience food from Karkkila to the Nurmo plant. The programme is expected to generate annual cost savings of EUR 1 million, which begins to materialise in full at the beginning 2014. All employees affected by the negotiations have been offered jobs at Atria's other production plants.

Valid authorisations, authorisations to grant special rights and acquisition of treasury shares

The General Meeting 2012 authorised the Board of Directors to decide on the acquisition of a maximum of 2,800,000 of the company's own Series A shares, in one or several tranches, with funds belonging to the company's unrestricted equity, subject to the provisions of the Limited Liability Companies Act regarding the maximum number of treasury shares to be held by a company. The company's own Series A shares may be acquired for use as consideration in any acquisitions or other arrangements relating to the company's business, to finance investments as part of the company's incentive scheme, to develop the company's capital structure, to be otherwise further transferred, to be retained by the company or to be cancelled.

The shares shall be acquired in a proportion other than that of the shareholders' current shareholdings in the company in public trading arranged by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd at the trading market price at the moment of acquisition. The shares will be acquired and paid for in accordance with the rules of NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd and Euroclear Finland Oy. The Board of Directors is authorised to decide on the acquisition of treasury shares in all other respects.

The authorisation shall supersede the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting on 29 April 2011 to the Board of Directors to decide on the acquisition of the company's own shares and be valid until the closing of the next Annual General Meeting or until 30 June 2013, whichever is first.

The General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to decide on an issue, in one or several tranches, of a maximum of 12,800,000 new Series A shares or on an issue of any Series A shares held by the company through a share issue and/or by granting option rights or other special rights entitling holders to shares as referred to in Chapter 10, section 1 of the Limited Liability Companies Act. The authorisation may be exercised to finance or execute any acquisitions or other arrangements or investments related to the company's business, to implement the company's incentive plan or for other purposes subject to the Board's decision.

The Board is also authorised to decide on all terms and conditions of the share issue and of the granting of special rights as referred to in Chapter 10, section 1 of the Limited Liability Companies Act. Therefore, the authorisation also includes the right to issue shares in a proportion other than that of the shareholders' current shareholdings in the company under the conditions provided by law, the right to issue shares against payment or without charge and the right to decide on a share issue without payment to the company itself, subject to the provisions of the Limited Liabilities Companies Act on the maximum number of treasury shares.

The authorisation shall supersede the share issue authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting on 29 April 2011 to the Board of Directors and be valid until the closing of the next Annual General Meeting or until 30 June 2013, whichever is first.

During the review period, the logistics centre located in Forssa was transferred from assets available for sale back to tangible assets. The property will be used in the company's own production.
