BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

Olvi Group's business developed favourably in 2016. The Group's sales volume, net sales and operating profit improved on the previous year.

Business development in 2016 has been positive particularly in Finland. The sales volume increased by 20 percent on the previous year, and the overall market share became stronger. Operating profit in Finland increased by 37 percent during 2016, which can be considered as very good performance.

During 2016, we have been able to further develop the efficiency of our production and logistics processes which, together with increased sales volumes, has a positive effect on the company's earnings development and also allows cost-efficient operations in the future.

All in all, the Group's business operations in the Baltic states developed well in 2016 even though the overall market in the region declined. Profitability in Estonia remained on a very strong level. Operating profit in Latvia improved by 13 percent and the company made the best result in its history. Lithuania also improved its result on the previous year, and it was gratifying that earnings improved also towards the end of the year. Positive development in the Baltic states was supported by increased market shares, successful new products and cost-efficiency.

Development in the Baltic states in 2017 may be affected by an exceptionally large additional increase in excise duties on mild alcoholic beverages planned in Estonia as of 1 July 2017. When realised, the change will probably result in a partial transfer of sales to crossborder trading between Estonia and Latvia. Through a decline in harbour and on-board sales in Estonia, some sales volume will also return from Estonia to Finland.

The business environment in Belarus has remained challenging. Consumer purchasing power has declined, which has been reflected as a downturn in the market and also affected the sales and earnings development of Olvi's Belarusian unit. Attention has been paid to cost control within the company, and this has resulted in a 10 percent improvement in the company's operating profit measured in the local currency. However, operating profit measured in euro fell short of the previous year because the exchange rate in 2016 was weaker, particularly in the first half of the year.

The Group's other financial indicators have developed very well in 2016. Profit for the accounting period has increased by 47.6 percent on the previous year, and the consolidated balance sheet became stronger in 2016.

The equity ratio improved to 62.0 percent while the gearing ratio dropped to 2.1 percent. Cash flow from operations remained strong and totalled 61.2 million euro.

Olvi Group has made active efforts towards developing its operations, among other things by utilising the Lean management philosophy in business control and development. Olvi's determined work was recognised through the second prize in the annual national competition "Lean work of the year 2016" arranged by the Lean Association of Finland. In addition to the recognition, our effort is shown as positive development in profitability, which enables us to produce increasing sales volumes smoothly while making further cuts on our environmental footprint. Development work has been done in all of the Group's units and different operations. In addition to Lean, another theme for development within the Group has been responsibility and associated reporting, and this effort will continue in 2017.

The company's strong financial condition, the investments and operational developments in recent years combined with a good market position and strong appreciation of our brands provide a solid foundation for the new year and make it possible to persistently develop the company's operations and shareholder value.

The shares were to be acquired in deviation from the pro rata principle among shareholders, using the company's unrestricted equity at the market price at time of acquisition in public trading arranged by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd.

The new shares were to be issued and the treasury shares transferred in one or more lots either against payment or free of charge.

The new shares were to be issued and the treasury shares transferred to the company's shareholders on a pro rata basis in relation to their existing holdings, or a private placing could have been executed in deviation from shareholders' pre-emptive rights if a weighty economic reason for this existed from the company's viewpoint, such as financing or execution of corporate acquisitions or arrangements, development of the company's equity structure, improvement of share liquidity or implementation of the company's incentive schemes.

A private placing can be free of charge only if a particularly weighty economic reason for this exists from the company's viewpoint, taking into consideration the interests of all shareholders. The Board of Directors would have decided upon other matters related to share issues.

It was proposed that the issue authorisation shall be valid until the closing of the Annual General Meeting 2016, however no longer than 18 months from the General Meeting's decision of issue authorisation.

Compliance with laws, regulations and guidelines is regularly supervised in accordance with instructions issued by the Board of Directors of Olvi plc.

The company complies with the Corporate Governance Recommendation for Listed Companies issued by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd, Finland Chamber of Commerce and the Confederation of Finnish Industries as valid from time to time. In its reporting for 2016, the company complies with the new Corporate Governance Code approved by the Securities Market Association that entered into force on 1 January 2016.

The Insider Guidelines for listed companies, which were prepared by the Helsinki Stock Exchange, the Finland Chamber of Commerce and the Confederation of Finnish Industries, were adopted by Olvi plc already in 2000. Since the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 (MAR) become applicable in Finland on 3 July 2016, Olvi plc adheres to the Stock Exchange's revised Insider Guidelines.

Description of corporate governance policy

The company's corporate governance policy and procedures are described in the Corporate Governance Statement 2016. The statement provides the descriptions of corporate governance called for by the Finnish Corporate Governance Code. The statement includes information on matters such as the General Meeting, Board of Directors and other management, as well as the audit. The statement describes the procedures of internal control and the main features of risk management systems. Furthermore, the CG statement describes the company's administration of insiders and related parties, as well as the crucial principles and regulations pertaining to administration ((EU) No 596/2014, "MAR"). The company also describes any departures from the guidelines.

RESPONSIBILITY

Responsibility is one of our corporate values and a crucial component of strategic and operational decision-making, and therefore a natural part of the company's everyday operations. Responsible operations are a crucial part of our business competence today, and we view this as a decisive factor with regard to business development and growth. In order to better respond to expectations related to the reporting of responsibility and transparency, responsibility is one of Olvi's focal points for 2017. Our responsibility includes financial, ecological and social responsibility.

Our responsibility footprint is determined throughout the supply chain – from the cornfields to the consumer. The beverage industry uses a substantial amount of raw materials and natural resources, such as grain, energy, water and packaging materials. Supply chain management and procurement practices therefore have a substantial effect on the environment, climate and society. The improvements that we have gained through the Lean methodology are an important part of resource effectiveness and financial responsibility. What is most effective is often also most ecological: for example, the optimisation of transports and more efficient use of natural resources promote the mitigation of climate impacts.

Olvi Group is a significant employer locally. Our target is to create a workplace that encourages the best performance and gives our employees a feeling of being respected. In order to create the best conditions for work and development, we promote the well-being of our personnel by paying attention to occupational health, safety, well-being and equality. In addition to our own employees, we influence our operating environment by indirectly employing the staff of subcontractors, among other things. Financial and social effects are also reflected in our operating environment through tax payments.

We operate in an industry in which open and responsible communications to consumers is a prerequisite, in addition to product safety. Our products are manufactured to high standards, and must comply with laws, official regulations and quality standards.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

In accordance with its environmental policy, Olvi is strongly committed to procedures and methods that spare the environment, as well as all laws and recommendations related to its business. The objectives for Olvi's environmental policy are defined annually and realised as objectives on the performance cards. The achievement of environmental targets and related indicators are regularly monitored by top management and designated representatives.

Olvi Group's environmental principles

  • We favour efficient reuse and recycling of packages.
  • We route by-products and production waste to recovery.
  • In the development of products and procedures, we are committed to the efficient use of raw materials and energy, as well as the reduction of environmental impacts.
  • Olvi endeavours to spare clean water, purify water for reuse, and to apply efficient pre-processing of waste water to prevent the release of substances that cause environmental load (such as phosphorus and biological oxygen consumers).
  • In 2017 and 2018, Olvi will invest in a modernisation of its waste water pre-treatment process.
  • We will change over to a Finnish renewable fuel at our power plant during 2017–2018.
  • We favour co-operation partners that show environmental responsibility.
  • We openly disclose information on our operations and the environmental impacts of our products.
  • We encourage our personnel to take responsibility and show innovation also with regard to their work environment and environmental impacts.
  • The production plant's energy efficiency will be improved through a multitude of actions identified in an energy review.

Handling of waste and emissions from production, packaging and transports

  • The by-products mash and excess yeast are delivered to cattle farms for use as animal feed.
  • We improved the efficiency of waste recycling in our production process in 2016, and were able to reduce the amount of landfill waste to almost zero.

  • Raw materials and chemicals are transported to the brewery in tanks and recyclable packages.

  • Packaging waste from production, as well as hazardous waste, is sorted at our own waste processing centre and shipped to recycling or to a hazardous waste treatment plant.
  • Olvi's products are packaged exclusively in refillable or recyclable packages.
  • We have carried out an energy review of the Iisalmi production plant in 2015 and 2016, and the actions identified will be implemented in practice.
  • Olvi belongs to nationwide beverage package systems.
  • Waste water is routed to the process of the local municipal waste water treatment plant through an equalising tank that reduces biological oxygen-consuming load and a bio-filter. This process will be modernised in 2016–2017.
  • Most of the production facility's heat requirement is produced by district heating supplemented by the production of a steam facility. This, as well as the transport of goods, generates flue gas emissions, and the fermentation process at the brewery releases carbon dioxide. The wort-boiling process releases a harmless bread-like sweet smell to the vicinity.

Olvi's environmental measures and objectives are described in more detail on the corporate Web site at www.olvi.fi.

In 2009, Olvi joined a voluntary energy efficiency agreement system for the food industry based on the EU Energy Services Directive. The agreement was revised in 2017 and is valid until the end of 2025. The system involves agreement on a framework for continuous and systematic improvements in energy efficiency. This shows that Olvi is a serious player in our society's joint effort against climate change.

Olvi's environmental permit was revised in 2016.

Olvi Group companies have not been involved in any legal or administrative proceedings related to environmental issues, and the company is not aware of any environmental

risks that would have a significant effect on the Group's financial position.

PERSONNEL

Olvi Group's human resources strategy plays a central role in achieving the Group's business targets. Olvi plc is actively developing its management, training and incentive systems in order to improve wellbeing at work and provide employees a safe working environment. It is most important to guarantee the attractiveness of Group companies as employers and ensure the availability of personnel and commitment to the Group companies.

Olvi Group has a shared mission statement and vision. The business strategies in all of the operating countries are largely similar and based on the same values.

In implementing the strategies, Olvi plc approves local flexibility in the means used for achieving targets because the operating environments and competitive situations are different.

Olvi Group's business strategies and objectives are put into practice in the organisation through result cards, appraisal discussions and regular feedback. The competence of personnel is maintained through continuous training and development of operations. Olvi issues a separate human resources statement each year for internal use within the company.

Olvi Group's average number of personnel in 2016 was 1859 (1940). The Group's average number of personnel decreased by 81 people or 4.2 percent.

REMUNERATION SCHEMES

Bonuses based on the achievement of earnings and performance targets are an important incentive for personnel and a management tool. Performance bonus schemes communicate the targets, will and desire set by the company's Board of Directors. Bonuses based on earnings or performance are a sign of achievements that outperform the target level. Basic wages and salary are compensation for work well done.

The overall objectives of bonuses based on target-setting include clarity, fairness and sufficient effect.

Bonus schemes must not encourage imprudent risk-taking or negligence.

The objectives for long-term bonuses in particular include increasing shareholder value, supporting profitable growth and relative profitability, and making operational management and key employees committed to the company.

Components of remuneration to personnel

The components of remuneration to personnel consist of fixed remuneration as well as shortand long-term incentive schemes.

Olvi's Board of Directors decides on the terms of service of the Managing Director, which are specified in a directors' contract. The Board of Directors assesses the Managing Director's performance annually. The terms of service of other top management shall be decided by the Board of Directors on the basis of the Managing Director's proposal. The Managing Director and other management executives shall not receive separate remuneration for their work in the management group or other internal management organs within the Group.

Short-term incentives

Short-term incentives are performance bonus schemes in which the monitoring period is one accounting period. The Board of Directors shall decide upon the basis for definition of the incentives.

In 2016, the Group has had a performance bonus scheme based on operating profit. The entire personnel in Finland is included in the scope of performance bonuses, while in other Group companies, the scope includes the management group members. Furthermore, Olvi Group's subsidiaries have incentive schemes that cover either the entire personnel or the company's key employees and are based on the achievement of targets specified in performance cards.

Long-term incentives

Long-term incentives are based on programmes confirmed by the company's Board of Directors that are valid for at least two accounting periods. The programmes can be share-based incentive schemes or performance bonus schemes based on Grouplevel targets.

Olvi Group has share-based incentive plans for key employees. The aim of the share-based incentive plans is to combine the objectives of the shareholders and the key employees in order to increase the value of the company, to make the key employees committed to the company, and to offer them a competitive reward plan based on earning the company's shares.

The Group currently has two share-based incentive plans in force: a plan having a threeyear performance period from 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2017, and another plan having a performance period from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2018. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the plan, rewards will be paid in Olvi plc Series A shares and partially in cash. The prerequisite for receiving reward is that a key employee purchases the company's Series A shares up to the maximum number determined by the Board of Directors. Furthermore, entitlement to a reward is tied to the continuance of employment or service upon reward payment.

The share-based incentive plan is described in more detail in Note 22 to the financial statements, Share-based payments.

Personnel fund

Olvi has an operational personnel fund that covers Olvi's entire personnel in Finland excluding top management.

The basis of making profit-sharing contributions to the personnel fund shall be decided annually by the company's Board of Directors.

BUSINESS RISKS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT

Risk management is a part of Olvi Group's everyday management and operations. The objective of risk management is to ensure the realisation of the company's strategy and secure its financial development and the continuity of business. The task of risk management is to operate proactively and create operating conditions in which business risks are managed comprehensively and systematically in all of the Group companies and all levels of the organisation.

Strategic risks

Olvi Group's strategic risks refer to risks related to the characteristics of the company's business and strategic choices. The Group's operations are located in several countries that differ substantially in terms of their social and economic situations and the phases and directions of development. For example, strategic risks relate to changes in tax legislation and other regulations, the environment and foreign exchange markets. If realised, strategic risks can substantially hamper the company's operational preconditions.

The Group's most substantial identified strategic risks relate to Belarus, particularly the situation in the country's economy and politics, as well as any potential and substantial legislative changes in the operating environment that might be implemented on a rapid schedule.

Operational risks

The Group's most substantial identified operational risks relate to the procurement and quality of raw materials, the production process, markets and customers, personnel, information security and systems, as well as changes in foreign exchange rates.

Raw materials

General economic development and annual fluctuations in crop yield affect the prices and availability of major raw materials used within Olvi Group. Disruptions in raw material deliveries and quality may hamper customer relations and business operations. Purchases of

major raw materials are made under procurement contracts standardised at the Group level. The Group aims to secure the predictability of purchase prices for critical raw materials through long-term procurement contracts.

The company has a hedging policy concerning raw materials and their prices. All units emphasise the significance of the quality of raw materials and other production factors in the overall production chain.

Production process

The aim is to minimise production risks through clear documentation of processes, increasing the degree of automation, compliance with quality management system and the pursuit of clear operating methods in relation to decision-making and supervision. The efficiency and applicability of processes and methods are monitored using internal indicators.

The monitoring and development of production efficiency includes, among other things, the reliability and utilisation rate of production machinery, development of the working environment and factors related to people's work. The Group has a property and loss-of-profits insurance programme covering all of the operating areas, and its coverage is reviewed annually.

Markets and customers

The Group's business operations are characterised by substantial seasonal variation. The net sales and operating profit from the reported geographical segments do not accumulate evenly but vary substantially according to the time of the year and the characteristics of each season.

Negative changes in the economy or other operating environment may impact consumers' purchasing behaviour and hamper the liquidity of our customers. All Group companies employ efficient credit controls as a major method for minimising credit losses. Legislative changes and other changes in the operations of authorities, such as changes in excise taxes and marketing restrictions, may affect the demand for the Group's products and their relative competitive position.

Personnel

Risks related to personnel include risks in obtaining labour, employment relationship risks, key person risks, competence risks and risks related to well-being at work and occupational accidents. Crucial focal points in HR management include maintaining and developing a good employer image, as well as ensuring the availability and commitment of personnel. Other focal points include maintaining and continuously developing well-being and safety at work,

improvement of management systems, construction and maintenance of backup personnel systems, as well as training and incentive schemes.

Information security and IT

Olvi Group employs an information security policy that defines the principles for implementing information security and provides guidelines for its development. Risks related to information technology and systems are manifested as operational disruptions and deficiencies, for example. The availability and correctness of data is ensured through the choice of operating methods and various technical solutions. The Group's operations in Finland, the Baltic states and Belarus utilise a common enterprise resource planning system. A risk analysis pertaining to information security and the operation of information systems is carried out annually.

Financing risks

The Group is exposed to financing risks in its normal course of business: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk.

The objective of financing risk management is to minimise the adverse effects of changes in the financial markets on the Group's financial performance, shareholders' equity and liquidity. The general principles of the Group's risk management are approved by the Board of Directors of the parent company, and the parent company's management together with the management of subsidiaries is responsible for their practical implementation.

Responsibility for Olvi Group's financing tasks is centralised in the parent company Olvi. The objectives of centralisation include optimisation of cash flows and financing costs, as well as efficient risk management. Financing risks are described in more detail in Note 25 to the consolidated financial statements, Management of financing risks. Financing risks are also described in the Investors section of the corporate Web site.

BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN THE NEAR TERM

The most substantial factor hampering the predictability of Olvi Group's business relates to Belarus and its economic and political outlook for the next few years. Furthermore, negative development of the Russian economy may impose challenges on the Belarusian operating environment.

Operations in Belarus also involve foreign exchange risks arising from the cash flows of purchases and sales in foreign currency, as well as the investment in the Belarusian subsidiary and the conversion of its income statement and balance sheet items into euro. The Group's other foreign exchange risks can be considered minor.

Olvi Group's operations may be affected to changes in consumer behaviour and the operations of our clientele arising from changes in official regulations. The planned excise tax hike in Estonia as of 1 July 2017 will probably result in a change of focus in volumes and consumption both from Estonia to the Latvian border and also from Estonia back to Finland. The effect of the change on the entire Olvi Group in 2017 is still difficult to estimate because there are several contributing factors, such as the pricing policies of companies doing business in harbours and on board after the excise duty changes, as well as a potential amendment to the Finnish Alcohol Act, the details and timing of which remain open for the time being.

Other short-term risks and uncertainties are related to the development of the general economic circumstances, changes in the competitive situation, as well as the impacts these may have on the company's operations. In addition to the risks described above, there have been no significant changes in Olvi Group's business risks.

NEAR-TERM OUTLOOK

Olvi estimates that the Group's sales volume and net sales for 2017 will increase slightly on the previous year. Operating profit for 2017 is estimated to be on a par with the previous year.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS' PROPOSAL FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROFIT

The parent company Olvi plc had 47.8 (47.7) million euro of distributable funds on 31 December 2016, of which profit for the period accounted for 14.7 (11.7) million euro.

Olvi plc's Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that distributable funds be used as follows:

1) A dividend of 0.75 (0.70) euro shall be paid for 2016 on each Series K and Series A share, totalling 15.6 (14.5) million euro. The dividend represents 47.9 (65.1) percent of Olvi Group's earnings per share. The dividend will be paid to shareholders registered in Olvi plc's register of shareholders held by Euroclear Finland Ltd on the record date of the dividend payment, 25 April 2017. It is proposed that the dividend be paid on 10 May 2017. No dividend shall be paid on treasury shares.

2) 32.2 million euro shall be retained in the parent company's non-restricted equity.

Consolidated Accounting Policies

Basic information on the Group

Olvi plc ("the company") and its subsidiaries (jointly "the Group") manufacture beers, ciders, long drinks, mineral waters, juices, soft drinks, energy drinks, sports beverages, kvass and other beverages. The companies belonging to Olvi Group are located in Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Belarus.

The Group's parent company is Olvi plc (Business ID 0170318-9), and its Series A shares are quoted on the Nasdaq OMX Helsinki Ltd Main List. The parent company is headquartered in Iisalmi and its registered address is P.O. Box 16, 74101 Iisalmi.

A copy of the consolidated financial statements is available on the Internet at www.olvi.fi or from the headquarters of the Group's parent company at Olvitie I-IV, 74100 Iisalmi.

The accounting period of all Group companies corresponds to the calendar year and ended on 31 December 2016.

Olvi plc's Board of Directors has approved the disclosure of these financial statements at its meeting on 21 February 2017. According to the Finnish Companies Act, shareholders have the option to approve or reject the financial statements at a General Meeting of Shareholders to be held after disclosure. The General Meeting of Shareholders may also decide on amending the financial statements.

Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the approved International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), observing the IAS and IFRS standards as well as SIC and IFRIC interpretations valid on 31 December 2016. In the Finnish Accounting Act and regulations enacted by virtue of the Act, International Financial Reporting Standards refer to the standards approved for use in the European Union in accordance with the procedure specified in the EU regulation (EC) No 1606/2002. The notes to the financial statements are also in compliance with Finnish legislation concerning accounting and corporate law that supplements the IFRS regulations.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of original cost, with the exception of financial assets available for sale, financial assets and liabilities recognised at fair value through profit or loss, derivative contracts, as well as share-based transactions settled in cash, which have been recognised at fair value. The financial statement information is presented in thousands of euros (EUR 1,000). For the sake of presentation, individual figures and totals have been rounded to full thousands, which may cause rounding differences in additions.

Preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS standards requires the Group's management to make certain estimates and considerations. Information on considerations made by management with regard to application of the Group's accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the figures presented in the financial statements is presented in the Section "Accounting policies requiring consideration by management and crucial factors of uncertainty associated with estimates".

Consolidated Accounting Policies

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities in which the Group exercises control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

Intra-Group shareholdings have been eliminated using the purchase method. The consideration given and the acquired entity's identifiable assets and assumed liabilities have been measured at fair value at the time of acquisition.

Acquired subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements as of the date the Group has acquired a position of control, and divested subsidiaries are included until the date the Group's control is discontinued. All intra-Group business transactions, receivables, liabilities, unrealised gains and internal profit distribution are eliminated during the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses are not eliminated if they are caused by impairment.

The distribution of profit or loss for the financial period between the parent company's shareholders and non-controlling interests is presented in the separate income statement, and the distribution of comprehensive income between the parent company's shareholders and non-controlling interests is presented in connection with the statement of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is allocated between parent company shareholders and non-controlling interests even if this would lead to a negative share allocated to non-controlling interests. The share of equity belonging to non-controlling interests is presented as a separate balance sheet item under

shareholders' equity. Changes in the parent company's holding in a subsidiary that do not lead to loss of control are treated as equity transactions.

Associates

Associates are entities in which the Group exercises significant power. Significant power arises generally when the Group holds more than 20 percent of the voting rights in an entity or the Group otherwise has significant power but no position of control.

Associates are consolidated using the equity method. A share of profit in associates corresponding to the Group's share of holding has been calculated in accordance with the Group's holding and presented as a separate item in the income statement after financial income and expenses. If the Group's share of an associate's losses exceeds the book value of the investment, the investment is recognised in the balance sheet at zero value, and losses exceeding the book value are not taken into account unless the Group is otherwise committed to the fulfilment of the associate's obligations.

Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible of allocating resources to the operating segments and assessing their performance, is identified to be the Group's Managing Director making strategic decisions together with the parent company's Board of Directors.

Olvi Group's operating segments consist of the Group's geographical operating areas, which are Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Belarus.

The Group's segment information is described in more detail in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, Segment information.

Conversion of items in foreign currency

The figures indicating the earnings and financial position of Group entities are determined in the currency of each unit's primary operating environment ("functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in euro, which is the operating and presentation currency of the Group's parent company.

Transactions denominated in foreign currency have been converted into the functional currency at the exchange rate valid on the transaction date. Monetary items in foreign currency have been converted into the functional currency at the exchange rates valid on the closing date of the reporting period.

Gains and losses originating from business transactions in foreign currency and the conversion of monetary items are recognised through profit and loss. Foreign exchange gains and losses from operations are included in the corresponding items above operating profit. Foreign exchange gains and losses on loans denominated in foreign currency are included in financial income and expenses, with the exception of exchange rate differences on foreign currency items that constitute a part of the net investment made in a foreign unit. These exchange rate differences are recognised in other comprehensive income items, and accumulated exchange rate differences are included in the translation difference presented in shareholders' equity.

The income statements of non-Finnish consolidated companies that use a functional currency other than the Group's presentation currency have been converted into euro at the average exchange rates for the accounting period, and balance sheet items have been converted at the exchange rates on the balance sheet date. The different exchange rates applicable to the conversion of profit or loss on the income statement and balance sheet result in a translation difference recognised in shareholders' equity on the balance sheet, and any change in this difference is recognised in other comprehensive income items. Translation differences arising from the elimination of the acquisition cost of foreign Group companies, as well as translation differences arising from equity items accumulated after the acquisition, are recognised in other comprehensive income items. When a subsidiary is divested in full or in part, accumulated translation differences are recognised in the income statement as part of the sales gain or loss.

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of foreign entities and the fair value adjustments made to the book values of the assets and liabilities of such foreign entities upon acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities belonging to the foreign entities. They are converted into euro at the exchange rates valid on the closing date of the reporting period. Inflation accounting

As of 1 January 2015, Olvi Group has discontinued the application of the IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies standard in its Belarusian unit because the Belarusian functional currency is no longer considered hyperinflationary as referred to in the standard. After the change, Olvi Group no longer applies inflation accounting.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recognised in the balance sheet at original cost deducted by accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Acquisition cost includes costs directly arising from the acquisition of a property, plant and equipment item. The acquisition cost of an item of our own manufacture includes material costs, direct costs of employee benefits as well as other direct costs arising from making a property, plant and equipment item ready for its intended purpose. Any borrowing costs directly arising from the acquisition, construction or manufacture of a property, plant and equipment item fulfilling the preconditions are capitalised as part of the acquisition cost of the item.

Any subsequent costs arising from additions to an item, a partial replacement of an item or maintenance of an item are included in the book value of a property, plant or equipment item only if it is probable that future economic benefit associated with the item will be to the Group's advantage and that the acquisition cost of the item can be reliably determined. Service costs, in other words repair and maintenance costs, are recognised in profit or loss once they are realised.

Asset items are depreciated by the straightline method over their estimated useful life. Depreciation is not booked on land areas. Estimated useful lives are the following:

Buildings 20 to 40 years
Plant machinery and equipment 15 to 20 years
Recyclable packaging 5 to 20 years
Other fixed assets 5 years

The residual value and useful life of asset items are reviewed upon each closing of the accounts and adjusted if necessary to reflect any changes in the expected economic benefit.

Depreciation on a property, plant or equipment item will be discontinued when the item is classified as available for sale in accordance with the standard IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

Sales gains and losses arising from the decommissioning and transfer of property, plant and equipment items are included in other operating income or other operating expenses. Sales gain or loss is determined as the difference between sales price and residual acquisition cost.

Government grants

Public subsidies such as government grants associated with the acquisition of property, plant and equipment items are recognised as deductions in the book values of property, plant and equipment items when it is reasonably certain that the subsidies will be received and that the Group fulfils the preconditions for receiving such subsidies. The subsidies will be recognised as income through reduced depreciation over the useful life of the item.

Subsidies received as compensation for realised costs are recognised on the income statement at the same time as the associated costs are recognised as expenses. Such subsidies are presented in other operating income.

Intangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill arising from business combinations is recognised at the amount to which the total of consideration given, the share of non-controlling interests in the acquired entity and any previous holding exceed the fair value of net assets acquired.

No regular amortisation is booked on goodwill but it is tested for impairment annually or, if necessary, more frequently. For this purpose, goodwill is allocated to cash generating units that correspond to the management's way of supervising the business and associated goodwill. In the Group, cash generating units correspond to operating segments reported to top management. Goodwill is recognised at original cost deducted by impairment.

Research and development costs

Research and development costs are recognised as expenses in the income statement. Development costs arising from the design of new or more advanced products are capitalised as intangible assets in the balance sheet starting from the time the product is technically feasible, it can be utilised commercially, and future economic benefit is expected from the product.

Development costs previously recognised as expenses will not be subsequently capitalised. Amortisation is booked on an item starting from the time it is ready for use. An item that is not yet ready for use is tested annually for impairment.

Other intangible assets

An intangible asset item is recognised in the balance sheet only if its acquisition cost can be reliably determined and it is probable that the expected economic benefit from the item will be to the Group's advantage. Intangible assets with a limited useful life are booked in the balance sheet at original cost and recognised as expenses in the income statement by straightline amortisation over their known or estimated useful life. No amortisation is booked on intangible assets with an unlimited useful life but they are tested annually for impairment. The Group currently has no intangible assets with an unlimited useful life.

The amortisation periods for intangible assets are the following:

Trademarks and development costs 10 years
Computer software 5 years
Others 5 years

Leases

The Group as a lessee

Leases on tangible assets in which the Group has a significant part of the risks and benefits characteristic of ownership are categorised as finance lease agreements. Asset items acquired on finance lease agreements are recognised in the balance sheet at the fair value of the leased item in the start of the lease period or at a lower present value of minimum rents. Asset items acquired on finance lease agreements are depreciated over the useful life of the item or the lease period, whichever is shorter. Leasing rents payable are divided into financing cost and reduction of debt over the lease period so that the interest rate on the debt remaining in each accounting period is equal. Lease obligations are included in financial liabilities.

Lease agreements in which the risks and benefits characteristic of ownership remain with the lessor are treated as other lease agreements. Leases payable on the basis of other lease agreements are recognised as expenses in the income statement in equal instalments over the lease period.

The Group as a lessor

Items leased out by the Group in which a significant part of the risks and benefits characteristic of ownership have been transferred to the lessee are treated as finance lease agreements and recognised as receivables in the balance sheet. The receivable is recognised at present value.

The financial income on a finance lease agreement is recognised as income during the lease period so that the remaining net investment will produce the same percentage of yield over the lease period. The Group does not currently have any substantial finance lease agreements as a lessor.

Assets leased out on agreements other than finance lease are included in property, plant and equipment items in the balance sheet.

They are depreciated over their useful life just as similar property, plant and equipment items in own use. Lease income is recognised in the balance sheet as equal instalments over the lease period.

Impairment

The balance sheet values of non-current tangible and intangible assets are assessed for impairment on the balance sheet date and every time there is evidence that the value of an asset may have been impaired. The impairment test estimates the amount recoverable from an asset. Recoverable amount equals to the fair value of an asset deducted by costs arising from its transfer, or value in use if this is higher.

An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement when the book value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. If an impairment loss is attributable to a cash generating unit, it is first allocated to reduce the goodwill attributable to the cash generating unit and then to reduce other asset items within the unit on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss will be reversed if there is a change in the circumstances and the amount recoverable from an asset has changed since the recognition of the impairment loss. However, any impairment loss reversal may not exceed the amount that would be the book value of the asset if the impairment loss was not recognised. Impairment losses recognised on goodwill are not to be reversed in any circumstances.

Impairment testing

The Group carries out annual impairment testing of goodwill as well as unfinished intangible and tangible assets, and any evidence of potential impairment is evaluated as presented above in the accounting policies. Recoverable amounts from cash generating units are determined through calculations based on value in use. The preparation of these calculations requires the use of estimates.

Cash flow estimates are based on forecasts approved by management covering a fouryear period. The crucial variables used for the calculation of value in use are budgeted sales volume, budgeted net sales and operating profit. Estimated sales and production volumes are based on existing fixed assets. More information on goodwill and impairment testing is provided in Note 14, Impairment testing of goodwill.

Inventories

Inventories are recognised at acquisition cost or a lower probable net realisable value. The acquisition cost of raw materials and supplies is determined by the weighted average method. The acquisition cost of finished and unfinished products is based on actual costs and manufacturing volumes and comprises raw materials, direct expenses due to work performed, other direct expenses, as well as a proportion of the variable and fixed overheads of manufacturing based on actual manufacturing volumes. Net realisable value refers to estimated sales price available through normal business operations, deducted by estimated costs of finishing the product and costs of sale.

Pension obligations

The Group's pension schemes are defined contribution plans. In defined contribution plans, the Group makes fixed payments to a separate entity. The Group has no legal or factual obligation to make any additional contributions if the entity receiving the payments fails to pay the pension benefits in question. Contributions paid to defined contribution pension plans are recognised in the income statement during the period to which the charge applies.

Share-based payments

The Group applies the standard IFRS 2 Sharebased Payment to all share-based business transactions.

Arrangements settled in equity instruments are measured at fair value on the date of granting and recognised as expenses in the income statement in equal instalments over the vesting period. Arrangements settled in cash are measured at fair value at each closing of the accounts, and changes in the fair value of the liability are recognised in the income statement. The earnings effect of the arrangement is presented in the income statement under the costs of employee benefits.

The cost determined at the time of granting the share-based bonuses is based on the Group management's estimate of the number of shares that are expected to become vested at the end of the vesting period. The Group updates the expectation of the final number of shares on each balance sheet date. The changes in the estimates are recognised in the income statement.

Provisions

A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has a legal or factual obligation based on a previous event, it is probable that the fulfilment of the obligation requires payment or causes a financial loss, and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. If there is a possibility to receive compensation for part of the obligation from a third party, the compensation is recognised as a separate asset item but this is only done once the possibility of receiving compensation is practically certain. Provisions are measured at the present value of the costs required to cover the obligation.……………………………………...

A provision is recognised for onerous contracts if the costs necessary for fulfilling the obligations exceed the benefits available from the contract.

A provision for environmental obligations is recognised when the Group has an obligation based on environmental legislation and the Group's environmental responsibility policy that is associated with the decommissioning of a production facility, remedy of environmental damage or transfer of equipment to another location.

A conditional debt is a potential obligation arising from earlier events, the existence of which will only become certain once an uncertain event outside the Group's scope of control is realised. Existing obligations that will probably not require fulfilment of a payment obligation or whose amount cannot be reliably determined are also considered conditional debts. Conditional debts are presented in the notes.

Taxes

The tax expenses in the income statement comprise tax based on the taxable income for the period and change in deferred tax. The tax based on the taxable income for the period is calculated on the basis of taxable income in accordance with the tax rate valid in each country. The tax is adjusted by any taxes associated with previous periods. The Group will offset tax receivables and liabilities based on the taxable income for a period only in the case that the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised items against each other, and that the Group will either provide performance on a net basis or simultaneously realise an asset and repay a debt.

Deferred taxes are calculated on temporary differences between book value and tax base. However, a deferred tax liability shall not be booked on the original recognition of goodwill, or if this arises from the original recognition of an asset or liability item when the case does not concern a business combination and the transaction does not affect the accounted earnings or taxable income at the time of its realisation.

Deferred taxes are recognised for investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures unless the Group is able to determine the time when a temporary difference will be reversed, and when the temporary difference will probably not be reversed in the foreseeable future.

Within the Group, the most substantial temporary differences arise from depreciation on property, plant and equipment, arrangements settled in equity instruments, as well as the fair valuation of derivative contracts.

Deferred taxes are calculated at tax rates enacted or practically approved by the balance sheet date, which are expected to be applicable when the deferred tax receivable is realised or the deferred tax liability is paid.

Deferred tax receivables are recognised up to the probable amount of taxable income in the future against which the temporary difference can be utilised. The amount of deferred tax receivables and the probability of utilisation are assessed at every closing of the accounts. Deferred tax receivables and liabilities are presented in the balance sheet as separate items under non-current assets or liabilities. The Group will offset deferred tax receivables and liabilities only in the case that the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset the tax receivables and liabilities based on taxable income for the period, and the deferred tax receivables and liabilities are associated with income taxes collected by the same tax authority either from the same taxpayer or another taxpayer who are either planning to offset the tax receivables and liabilities based on taxable income for the period, or to realise the receivable and pay the liabilities simultaneously in each future period during which a substantial amount of deferred tax liabilities is expected to be paid or a substantial amount of deferred tax receivables is expected to be utilised.

Principles for recognition of income

Net sales consist of consideration received for the sales of products and services measured at fair value, deducted by indirect taxes, discounts and translation differences for sales in foreign currency.

Products sold

The Group manufactures different kinds of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and sells them, along with other products related to the beverage industry.

Product sales are recognised when the Group has delivered the products to the customer and when substantial risks and benefits related to their ownership have been transferred to the customer, and there are no outstanding obligations that could affect the customer's acceptance of the products. Delivery is considered to be realised only once the products have been delivered to the location agreed with the customer, and the risk of non-marketability and damage has been transferred to the customer.

The sales of beverages often carry annual discounts, and customers are entitled to return any defective products. Sales are recognised at the price specified in the sales contract less annual discounts and returns of defective products estimated at the time of sale.

Discounts are estimated and recognised on the basis of actual purchases and expected annual purchases in accordance with the terms and conditions of the sales contracts.

Rental income

The Group rents out beverage-serving equipment to its HoReCa customers and coolers to its retailers. Rental income is recognised in equal instalments over the rental period.

Interest

Interest income is recognised on the basis of elapsed time using the effective interest method. If a loan receivable or other receivable becomes impaired, its book value is reduced to correspond to the recoverable amount. Interest income from impaired loan receivables is recognised in accordance with original effective interest.

Dividends

Dividend income is recognised when the right to dividend becomes vested.

Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets held for sale and assets associated with discontinued operations are classified as assets held for sale and measured at book value or a lower fair value deducted by sales costs if the amount corresponding to the book value is going to be accrued mostly from the sale of the asset instead of continuous use. The prerequisites for classification as an item held for sale are considered to be fulfilled when a sale is highly probable and the asset can be immediately sold in its current condition on usual and conventional terms, management is committed to the sale, and it is expected to be carried out within one year of classification. Depreciation of these assets will be discontinued at the time of classification.

Financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets

The Group's financial assets are classified into the following groups: loans and other receivables, financial assets available for sale and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (derivatives). The classification is based on the purpose of acquiring the financial assets and carried out upon original acquisition.

All purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised based on the transaction date. Transaction costs are included in the original book value of financial assets.

Financial assets are derecognised once the rights to the investment's cash flows have ceased or have been transferred to another party, and the Group has transferred any substantial risks and benefits of ownership.

Loans and receivables

The group of loans and receivables includes the Group's accounts receivable and other receivables. They are measured at original amortised cost using the effective interest method. On the balance sheet, they are included in current or non-current assets according to their nature, in the latter group if the time to maturity is more than 12 months.

Financial assets available for sale

The Group's other financial assets, with the exception of derivative contracts, are classified as financial assets available for sale. Financial assets available for sale may comprise equities and interest-bearing investments. They are recognised at fair value or, if the fair value cannot be determined reliably, at purchase price. Changes in the fair value of financial assets available for sale are recognised in other comprehensive income items and presented in the fair value reserve included in Other reserves under shareholders' equity, taking the tax effect into account. Accumulated changes in fair value are transferred from shareholders' equity to classification adjustments affecting profit or loss when the investment is sold or its value has reduced so that an impairment loss must be recognised.

Financial assets available for sale are included in non-current assets except if the intention is to hold them for less than 12 months from the balance sheet date, in which case they are included in current assets.

Derivative contracts and hedge accounting

Olvi Group uses derivative contracts that are treated as assets held for trading because the Group does not apply hedge accounting in accordance with the IFRS regulations. Derivatives held for trading are interest rate and currency swaps recognised at fair value. The fair value of interest rate swaps is recognised in other current assets or liabilities. Both realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in financial items within the income statement for the accounting period during which they arise.

Liquid assets

Liquid assets comprise cash, bank deposits withdrawable on demand, as well as other short-term very liquid investments. Items classified as liquid assets have a maturity of no more than three months calculated from the date of acquisition. Account overdraft facilities are presented under other current liabilities.

Impairment of financial assets

On each balance sheet date, the Group estimates whether there is objective evidence that the value of a financial asset item or financial asset group may have been impaired. If there is evidence of potential impairment, the amount of loss is determined as the difference between the book value of the asset and its fair value or the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Impairment losses are recognised in financial items through profit or loss.

Factors suggesting impairment of an account receivable include the debtor's substantial financial difficulties, a threat of bankruptcy or a payment delay exceeding 60 days, however taking into account the general payment patterns in each country.

Financial liabilities and borrowing costs

Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value increased by transaction costs arising from the acquisition of debt. Financial liabilities will subsequently be measured at original amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities are divided into non-current and current liabilities on the basis of the period of realisation. Financial liabilities are classified as current unless the Group has an unconditional right to postpone repayment for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

Arrangement fees related to loan commitments are treated as transaction costs up to the amount for which it is probable that the full commitment or a part of it will be withdrawn. In this case, the fee will be recognised on the balance sheet until the loan is withdrawn. At the time of withdrawal, the arrangement fee associated with a loan commitment is recognised as a part of the transaction costs. To the extent that it is probable that a loan commitment will not be withdrawn, the arrangement fee shall be recognised as an advance payment for a liquidity-related service and amortised over the period of the loan commitment.

Any general and specific borrowing costs directly arising from the acquisition, construction or manufacture of an asset item fulfilling the preconditions are capitalised as part of the acquisition cost of the item when it is probable that they will generate economic benefit in the future and when the costs can be reliably determined. Capitalisation will cease once the

asset item is substantially ready for its intended purpose or sale. Other borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period during which they have arisen.

Financial liabilities are derecognised once the liability or a part thereof has ceased to exist – in other words, once the obligation specified in the contract has been fulfilled or annulled or it has ceased to be valid.

Shareholders' equity

The Group classifies the financial instruments it has issued either as shareholders' equity or liabilities (financial liabilities). An equity instrument is any contract that presents a right to a share of an entity's assets after deduction of all of the entity's debts.

Outstanding Series K and Series A shares are presented as share capital. Any transaction costs immediately arising from the issuance of new shares or options, after being adjusted for tax effects, are presented in shareholders' equity as a deduction of payments received.

If the Group acquires the company's own shares, the consideration paid and the immediate costs of acquisition are deducted from shareholders' equity until the shares are annulled or re-released to circulation.

If the shares are re-released, the consideration received less immediate transaction costs is included in shareholders' equity.

Payment of dividends

The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors to the General Meeting of Shareholders has not been recognised in these financial statements. Dividends will only be recognised on the basis of the General Meeting's decision.

Operating profit

The standard IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements does not define the concept of operating profit. The Group has defined it as follows: operating profit is the net amount created by adding other operating income to net sales, subtracting purchase costs adjusted by change in inventories of finished and unfinished products and costs of manufacture for own use, and subtracting costs of employee benefits, depreciation and amortisation, any impairment losses and other operating expenses. All income statement items other than the above are presented below operating profit. Exchange rate differences are included in operating profit if they arise from items associated with business operations, otherwise they are recognised in financial items. The principles for calculation of other ratios are presented under Calculation of Financial Ratios.

Accounting policies requiring consideration by management and crucial factors of uncertainty associated with estimates

Estimates and assumptions regarding the future have to be made during preparation of the financial statements. These are based on previous experience and expectations of future events, but the outcome may differ from the estimates and assumptions. Furthermore, the application of accounting policies requires choice and consideration.

Management consideration associated with the selection and application of accounting policies

Group management makes considerationbased choices with regard to the selection and application of accounting policies.

This applies particularly to cases in which valid IFRS standards provide for alternative methods of recognition, measurement or presentation.

Factors of uncertainty associated with estimates

Estimates made in connection with the preparation of financial statements are based on the management's best understanding on the balance sheet date. The background of the estimates includes previous experience and assumptions concerning the future that are deemed most probable on the balance sheet date with regard to issues such as the expected development of the Group's financial operating environment concerning sales and the level of costs.

The Group, regularly and jointly with the management of subsidiaries, assesses the realisation of estimates and assumptions, as well as changes in the underlying factors, by applying several sources of information, both internal and external.

Any changes in the estimates and assumptions are recognised in the accounting period during which the estimates and assumptions are adjusted and in all subsequent accounting periods.

The most important sectors in which management has applied consideration and that require the use of estimates and assumptions are goodwill testing as well as deferred tax receivables and liabilities.

New and upcoming IFRS standards applicable to accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies used in 2015, with the exception of the following new standards, interpretations and revisions to existing standards that the Group has applied since 1 January 2016.

The Group has adopted the following new or revised standards and interpretations in 2016:

Subject Crucial requirements Effective

Annual improve
ments to the IFRS
2012–2014
The most recent annual improvements clarify the following:

IFRS 5 – when an asset (or disposal group) is reclassi
fied from "held for sale" to "held for distribution," or vice
versa, this does not constitute a change to a plan of sale
or distribution, and does not have to be accounted for
as such.
1 January
2016

IFRS 7 – specific guidance for transferred financial as
sets (such as factoring) to help management determine
whether the terms of a servicing arrangement constitute
'continuing involvement' and, therefore, whether the as
set qualifies for derecognition.

IFRS 7 – that the additional disclosures relating to the
offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities only
need to be included in interim reports if required by IAS
34.

IAS 19 – that when determining the discount rate for
post-employment benefit obligations, it is the currency
that the liabilities are denominated in that is important
and not the country where they arise.

IAS 34 – what is meant in the standard by "disclosure of
information elsewhere in the interim financial report";
entities using this relief must make cross-references be
tween the interim financial statements and the location
of the information in question, and make the infor
mation available to users on the same terms and at the
same time as the interim financial statements.
The clarifications to standards have not had any substantial
effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Disclosure Initiative
– amendments to
IAS 1
The amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial State
ments relate to the IASB's Disclosure
Initiative, which explores how financial statement disclo
sures can be improved. The amendments provide clarifica
tions on a
number of issues, including:
Materiality – an entity should not aggregate or disaggre

gate information in a manner that obscures useful infor
mation. Where items are material, sufficient information
must be
provided to explain the impact on the financial position
or
performance.

Disaggregation and subtotals – line items specified in
IAS 1 may need to be disaggregated where this is rele
vant to an understanding of the entity's financial posi
tion or performance. There is also new guidance on the
use of subtotals.
Notes – confirmation that the notes do not need to be

presented in a particular order.
Other comprehensive income arising from investments

accounted for under the equity method – the share of
other comprehensive income arising from equity-ac
counted investments is grouped based on whether the
items will or will not subsequently be reclassified to
profit or loss. Each group should then be presented as a
single item in the statement of other comprehensive in
come.
According to the transitional provisions, the disclosures in
IAS 8 regarding the adoption of new standards or account
ing policies are not required for these amendments.
The change has not had any substantial effect on the
presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

the consolidation exception also applies to mid-level
parent companies that are subsidiaries to investment
entities.

An investment entity must consolidate a subsidiary that
is not an investment entity and whose primary purpose
and operations consist of the provision of services sup
porting the investment operations of the investment en
tity.

Entities that are not investment entities themselves but
have a holding in an associate or joint venture that is an
investment entity may choose between two alternatives
of applying the equity method. They may either retain
the fair values used by the associate or joint venture, or
prepare consolidated financial statements on the associ
ate or joint venture level when the fair values in ques
tion would not be used.
The amendment has not affected the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements.

*) Applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after the specified date.

In addition to the adoption of the above amendments to standards and interpretations, Olvi Group has amended its accounting policies related to recyclable beverage packaging as follows:

As of 1 January 2016, Olvi Group adopts the general industry practice of presenting recyclable beverage packages in tangible assets when they meet the criteria of IAS 16. This means that starting from 1 January 2016, property, plant and equipment includes not only the recyclable packages in inventory but also Olvi plc's share of the package stock in accordance to shares determined by the Ekopulloyhdistys association, as well as packages held by the clients of subsidiaries, which the Group is obliged to repurchase. The repurchase obligation related to packaging used by clients is presented as a current liability on the balance sheet. The balance sheet, financial ratios and notes for the comparison year have been adjusted to correspond to the new accounting policies. As a result of the change, property, plant and equipment for the comparison year has increased by 13.0 million euro, inventories have decreased by 11.2 million euro, accruals and deferred income have increased by 3.2 million euro and shareholders' equity has decreased by 1.4 million euro. The change in accounting policies does not have any substantial effect on consolidated operating profit or net profit for the period.

IFRS standards, interpretations and amendments coming into force later

IFRS 9 Financial In
struments
and associated
amendments to sev
eral other standards
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments supersedes IAS 39 and brings
changes to the classification and measurement of financial assets,
the determination of impairment and the principles of hedge ac
counting.
1 January
2018
Debt instruments held as financial assets are measured at amor
tised cost but only if the objective of the business model is to hold
the investments for the collection of all contractual cash flows,
and if the contractual cash flows under the instrument solely rep
resent payments of principal and interest.
All other investments in debt instruments and equities held as fi
nancial assets, as well as structured investment products, are
recognised at fair value.
All changes in the fair value of financial assets are recognised
through profit or loss. An exception to this are changes in the fair
value of equity investments that are not held for trading: these
may be recognised either through profit or loss or in equity re
serves (without subsequent relocation to profit or loss). Further
more, some investments in debt instruments included in financial
assets may be measured at fair value through other comprehen
sive income items depending on the company's business model.
The Group has a minor amount of equity investments classified as
financial assets available for sale under the standard in force. Ac
cording to the management's current opinion, these financial as
sets will mainly be classified as financial assets measured at fair
value through other comprehensive income items. The change in
classification is not expected to have any substantial impact on
the Group's earnings.
The impairment of financial assets must be determined using a
model based on expected credit losses.
The Group's most substantial financial assets are accounts paya
ble, and the Group will apply the simplified procedure allowed by
the standard, under which a loss will be recognised over its entire
validity period using a provision matrix, except to the extent that
there is proof warranting the recognition of an individual financial
asset item completely as credit loss. The procedure may result in
credit losses being recognised somewhat earlier but is not ex
pected to have any substantial effect on the consolidated earnings
and balance sheet.
The new hedge accounting rules align hedge accounting more
closely with common risk management practices. The Group does
not currently apply hedge accounting but uses a minor amount of
derivatives. The Group will analyse the potential utilisation of
hedge accounting on the basis of reliefs associated with hedge ac
counting in the future.
The new standard also introduces more extensive disclosure re
quirements, which will result in changes to the presentation of the
consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 9 will enter into force on 1 January 2018, and the Group will
adopt it as of that date.

IFRS 15 Revenue
from Contracts with
Customers
The IASB has published a new standard for revenue recognition.
It replaces IAS 18 concerning the sales of goods and services, as
well as IAS 11 concerning construction contracts.
and associated
amendments to sev
eral other standards
The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recog
nised when control of a good or service transfers to the customer
– so the notion of control replaces the existing notion of risks and
rewards.
A new five-step process must be applied to revenue recognition:

identify contracts with customers

identify the separate performance obligations

determine the transaction price of the contract
allocate the transaction price to each of the separate perfor

mance obligations, and
recognise the revenue as each performance obligation is sat

isfied.
The Group has analysed the impact of the new standard on the
consolidated financial statements using the five-step process
above.
A substantial part of the Group's customer contracts relates to the
sale of beverage products. Control over beverage products passes
to the customer in accordance with their delivery terms, usually
within the day of delivery. The contracts include volume and an
nual discounts, the estimated effect of which is currently de
ducted from net sales on the same period for which the sales in
come has been recognised, and according to preliminary analysis,
the amendment to the standard does not have any effect on the
accounting practice.
The Group has analysed the impact of the new standard on the
transaction price of a performance obligation and notes that the
amendment to the standard will not affect the transaction price or
the consolidated income statement with regard to the sales of
beverage products. The time of fulfilment of the performance obli
gation also corresponds to the present time of income recognition
for the sales of beverage products.
The Group is involved in minor amounts of beverage equipment
rentals and maintenance services included in these. Rents are
recognised over the rental period and, in accordance with the
terms of the maintenance service agreement, either as equal in
stalments over the contract period or based on service per
formed.
Due to the nature of the Group's business, the amendment to the
recognition standard is not expected to have any substantial ef
fect on the consolidated income statement or balance sheet, and
it will not impose any changes on business practices. However,
the amendment will affect the presentation of the financial state
ments through the imposed effects on the disclosure of notes.
The Group will adopt the standard by providing additional infor
mation non-retroactively.
IFRS 16 Leases IFRS 16 mainly affects the accounting of lessees, and as a conse
quence, all other leases but those of a minor value or short period
1 January
2019
shall be recognised in the balance sheet. From the lessee's point
of view, the standard has abandoned the current division between
operational leases and finance leases, and according to the stand
ard, in practice all leases result in the recognition of an asset
(right to use the leased asset) and a financial liability pertaining
to the lease payment obligation.
Earlier applica
tion is only al
lowed if IFRS
15 is adopted
simultane
ously.
The standard also has effect on the income statement as the total
costs are typically higher in the beginning of the lease period and
lower towards the end. Furthermore, the lease costs now in
cluded in operating expenses will be replaced by interest and de
preciation, which will affect crucial indicators such as EBITDA. The
standard also has an impact on the presentation of the cash flow
statement.
According to IFRS 16, a contract is a lease or includes a lease if
the contract gives the right to control the use of a specified asset
item during a certain period against consideration.
The Group has contracts classified as operational leases under the
current standard, and upon adoption of the new standard, these
will be recognised in the balance sheet with the exception of mi
nor and short-term contracts. The Group's leases concern the
rental of individual office spaces and logistics premises, as well as
machinery and equipment. The amendment will have some effect
on the consolidated financial statements, particularly the consoli
dated balance sheet total and the balance sheet indicators. The
Group is currently assessing the more detailed effect in euros.
However, most of the premises, machinery and equipment used
by the company are in its ownership and are already presented in
the consolidated balance sheet.
Recognition of De
ferred Tax Assets
for Unrealised
Losses – amend
ments to IAS 12
Amendments to IAS 12 were made in January 2016, clarifying the
recognition of deferred taxes when an asset item is measured at
fair value and the fair value is lower than the taxable value. The
amendments confirm particularly that:

A temporary difference always arises when the book value of
an asset is lower than its taxable value at the end of the re
porting period.
When assessing future taxable income, an entity may assume

that it will be able to accumulate an amount higher than the
book value of an asset.

If tax legislation imposes restrictions on the sources of taxa
ble income that may be offset against certain types of de
ferred tax assets, the usability of deferred tax assets may
only be assessed together with other deferred tax assets of
the same type.

Tax deductions arising from the reversal of deferred tax as
sets shall not be taken into account when estimating the tax
able income used for assessing the usability of such assets.
The amendment does not have any substantial effect on the
consolidated financial statements.

The disclosures may also include changes to other items, for ex
ample by presenting a "reconciliation of net debts". In this case,
changes to other items must be presented separately from the
change in liabilities arising from financing.
The information may be presented in a table as a reconciliation
between opening and closing balances but the standard does not
dictate a certain format.
As a consequence of the change, the Group will prepare a new
note to the financial statements presenting the reconciliation of
net debts.

The IASB has made limited amendments to IFRS 10 Consolidated
Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and

n/a **
ventures – amend
ments to IFRS 10
and
IAS 28
The amendments clarify the accounting treatment for sales or
contribution of assets between an investor and its associates or
joint ventures. They confirm that the accounting treatment de
pends on whether the non-monetary assets sold or contributed to
an associate or joint venture constitute a 'business' (as defined in
IFRS 3 Business Combinations).
Where the non-monetary assets constitute a business, the inves
tor will recognise the full gain or loss on the sale or contribution
of assets. If the assets do not meet the definition of a business,
the gain or loss is recognised by the investor only to the extent of
the share of other investors. The amendments apply prospec
tively.
The Group applies the amended standard to any potential trans
actions.
** In December 2015, the IASB decided to postpone application
of this amendment until a research project related to the equity
method is completed.
Clarifications
IFRS 15 Revenue
from Contracts with
Customers
The amendments include clarifications to the identification of per
formance obligations, the treatment of licences and an entity's role
as principal or agent (presentation of income as gross or net). New
and changed imaginary examples have been included in relation to
all of the subjects mentioned above. The IASB has also included
new practical reliefs with regard to adoption of the standard.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Segment information

Olvi Group has five reporting segments corresponding to the Group's business units. Operating segments are defined on the basis of the management model and internal reporting utilised by the Group's top management for strategic decisions. Olvi Group's operating segments consist of the Group's geographical operating areas, which are Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Belarus.

The products and services of the reporting segments are produced in a specific economic environment with risks and profitability deviating from the risks and profitability of the economic environment of other segments. The Group has not combined operating segments together to create reporting segments.

Net sales in the reported operating segments are mostly generated from the manufacture and wholesale of various beverages. The net sales also include a minor amount of services to licensed restaurants in relation to beverage-serving equipment.

The Group's management assesses the operating segments' performance through operating profit (EBIT). Interest income and expenses are not allocated to segments because responsibility for the Group's financing tasks is centralised in the parent company Olvi plc.

A segment's assets and liabilities refer to business items that the segment uses in its business operations or that can be allocated to segments on reasonable grounds. Unallocated items include tax and financial items, as well as items common to the entire Group. Investments include increases in property, plant and equipment items and intangible assets that are used during more than one accounting period.

Pricing between segments is based on fair market terms.

11. Earnings per share

Undiluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit for the accounting period belonging to the parent company's shareholders by the weighted average of shares outstanding during the accounting period. When calculating the weighted average, the number of treasury shares in the company's possession is deducted from the number of shares. Olvi plc held a total of 11,124 of its own Series A shares on 31 December 2016.

A more detailed account of treasury shares is provided in Note 21, Notes concerning shareholders' equity.

Weighted average number of shares for the calculation of EPS (1,000) 20 748 20 758
Undiluted/diluted earnings per share (euro per share) 1,57 1,08

In the calculation of earnings per share adjusted for dilution, the weighted average number of shares includes the diluting effect of the conversion of all potential options outstanding during the period. When calculating the weighted average number of shares adjusted for dilution, the number of treasury shares in the company's possession is deducted from the number of shares. The calculation of the dilution effect includes consideration for the number of treasury shares acquired using funds received from the exchange of options.

During 2015 and 2016, Olvi Group has not had options or any other schemes having a diluting effect, which means that undiluted earnings per share and earnings per share adjusted for dilution have been equal during these years.

14. Impairment testing of goodwill
Goodwill allocated to the Estonian segment amounts to 8,146 thousand euro, to the Latvian segment
287 thousand euro, to the Lithuanian segment 2,241 thousand euro and to the Belarusian segment
5,304 thousand euro.
The estimated future cash flows used for impairment testing are based on the financial plans of the
operating segments approved by Group management. The cash flow estimates are based on finan
cial plans for the next four years. Cash flow estimates due later than four years are extrapolated
using estimated growth rates that do not exceed the estimated long-term growth rates of the cash
generating units. The growth rates applied to each segment were as follows: Estonia 0.0% (2.0%),
Latvia 2.0% (2.0%), Lithuania 3.0% (3.0%) and Belarus 6.0% (5.0%). In the assessment of future
cash flows, management has also compared previous financial plans with actual development.
The discount rate is weighted average cost of capital (WACC) before taxes: in Estonia 10.30 (7.93),
in Latvia 9.60 (7.86), in Lithuania 9.30 (8.12) and in Belarus 18.40 (17.71) percent. The discount
rate has been increased to correspond to the industry's volatility outlook (asset beta).
In the management's opinion, any reasonably potential change in any of the variables used for
assessing each segment's recoverable amount could not lead into a situation in which the segments'
recoverable amounts would be lower than their book values.
According to sensitivity analysis applied to impairment testing, there is currently no need for recog
nition of impairment. The Board of Directors of Olvi plc is actively monitoring the development of
the economic situation in the subsidiary countries and any effects this may have.

No deferred tax liability has been recognised on the undistributed earnings of AS A. Le Coq, 91,182 thousand euro in 2016, as the parent company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

ers' equity.

The maximum number of shares is 6.0 million K shares and 24.0 million A shares (6.0 million K shares and 24.0 million A shares in 2015). The minimum number of K shares is 1.5 million. The Group's maximum share capital is 60.0 million euro (60.0 million euro in 2015) and the minimum share capital is 15.0 (15.0) million euro. All issued shares have been paid in full.

Other reserves include the share premium account, legal reserve and other reserves.

The following is a description of reserves in shareholders' equity:

Share premium account

The share premium account comprises any subscription price in excess of the par value of shares upon share issues.

Legal reserve

The legal reserve originates from reserve transfers made due to an obligation formerly included in the Articles of Association.

Translation differences

The Translation differences reserve includes translation differences arising from the conversion of the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries.

Treasury shares

During the year 2016, Olvi acquired 5,500 of its own Series A shares. The purchase price was 120,139 euro. Olvi plc held a total of 11,124 of its own Series A shares on 31 December 2016, and the total acquisition price was 228,162 euro. Treasury shares held by the company itself are ineligible for voting.

Series A shares held by Olvi plc as treasury shares represented 0.054 percent of the share capital and 0.012 percent of the aggregate number of votes. The treasury shares represented 0.065 percent of all Series A shares and associated votes.

On 14 April 2016, the General Meeting of Shareholders of Olvi plc decided to revoke any unused authorisations to acquire treasury shares and authorise the Board of Directors of Olvi plc to decide on the acquisition of the company's own shares using distributable funds.

The Annual General Meeting decided to revoke all existing unused authorisations for the transfer of own shares and authorise the Board of Directors to decide on the issue of a maximum of 1,000,000 new

Series A shares and the transfer of a maximum of 500,000 Series A shares held as treasury shares.

Dividends

After the balance sheet date, the Board of Directors has proposed a dividend of 0.75 euro per share for both Series K and Series A shares for 2016, totalling 15.6 million euro. Dividend for 2015 was paid at 0.70 euro per share, totalling 14.5 million euro. The dividends were paid on 28 April 2016.

22. Share-based payments

Olvi Group has share-based incentive plans for key employees. The aim of the share-based incentive plans is to combine the objectives of the shareholders and the key employees in order to increase the value of the company, to make the key employees committed to the company, and to offer them a competitive reward plan based on earning the company's shares.

At the end of fiscal 2016, an incentive plan based on the Group's cumulative operating profit in the years 2014 to 2016 expired. Its target group included approximately 50 people. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the plan, rewards would have been paid in Olvi plc Series A shares and in cash. The targets of the plan were not met, which means that the plan will lapse. No costs arising from the plan have been recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

The Group has an active share-based incentive plan with one three-year performance period, beginning on 1 July 2014 and ending on 30 June 2017. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the plan, rewards will be paid in Olvi plc Series A shares and partially in cash.

The cash proportion is intended to cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the rewards to the key employees. The prerequisite for receiving a reward for this performance period is that a key employee purchases the company's Series A shares up to the maximum number determined by the Board of Directors. Furthermore, entitlement to a reward is tied to the continuance of employment or service upon reward payment. In 2016, accounting entries associated with the performance period from 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2017 were recognised for a total of 91.3 thousand euro.

On 24 February 2016, Olvi plc's Board of Directors decided on a new share-based incentive plan for the Group's key personnel. The performance period for the share-based incentive plan is two years. The prerequisite for receiving reward is that a key employee purchases the company's Series A shares up to the maximum number determined by the Board of Directors. Furthermore, entitlement to a reward is tied to the continuance of employment or service upon reward payment. Rewards will be paid partly in the company's Series A shares and partly in cash in 2018. The cash proportion is intended to cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the rewards to the key employees. The Board of Directors may decide that the share proportion be paid fully or partially in cash. The plan is directed to approximately 50 people. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the plan are in total an approximate maximum of 36,280 series Series A shares in Olvi plc and a cash payment needed for taxes and tax-related costs arising from the shares. The costs of the plan will be recognised over the performance period from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2018. In 2016, costs associated with the plan established on 24 February 2016 were recognised for a total of 363.8 thousand euro.

Olvi Group does not have any other share-based plans or option plans.

The Group's financial liabilities on 31 December 2016 consist of loans from financial institutions, as well as finance lease liabilities. Typical finance lease contracts extend over a period of 36 to 48 months and have a fixed instalment throughout the contract period.

16.2 million euro of the loans from financial institutions have a fixed interest rate or are converted to fixed rate through interest rate swaps. The amount of variable-rate loans was 5.0 million euro.

The fair value of non-current loans is determined by discounting estimated future cash flows to the present using the interest rate at which the Group could get a similar loan on the balance sheet date. Market rates on the balance sheet date stood at –0.319% to –0.082%, and a company-specific margin has been added for discounting.

The book value of current financial liabilities and finance lease liabilities corresponds to their fair value.

25. Management of financing risks

The Group is exposed to financing risks in its normal course of business: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

The objective of financing risk management is to minimise the adverse effects of changes in the financial markets on the Group's financial performance, shareholders' equity and liquidity. The general principles of the Group's risk management are approved by the Board of Directors of the parent company, and the parent company's management together with the management of subsidiaries is responsible for their practical implementation. Responsibility for Olvi Group's financing tasks is centralised in the parent company Olvi plc. The objectives of centralisation include optimisation of cash flows and financing costs, as well as efficient risk management.

I Market risk

I 1. Foreign exchange risk

Olvi Group operates internationally, and its business involves risks arising from exchange rate fluctuations. Foreign exchange risks arise from commercial transactions, in other words cash flows from purchases and sales, as well as investments in foreign subsidiaries, internal loan receivables and the conversion of the subsidiary's financial statements into euro.

The Group's most significant foreign exchange risk arises from the operations in Belarus. Operations in Belarus involve foreign exchange risks arising from the cash flows of purchases and sales in foreign currency, as well as the investment in the Belarusian subsidiary, internal financing and the conversion of the subsidiary's income statement and balance sheet items into euro. In recent years, the Belarusian currency has fluctuated substantially. During 2015, the Belarusian currency (BYR) devaluated, which had a substantial impact on the consolidated income statement and balance sheet for 2015. The weaker currency caused depreciation of the Belarusian subsidiary's operating profit denominated in euro, and financial expenses included 10.5 million euro of unrealised exchange rate losses on an internal loan used for funding investments in Belarus. The translation difference on consolidated shareholders' equity increased by 14.6 million euro in 2015, which had a negative impact on the consolidated key indicators related to equity. During 2016, the currency has been more stable, and the financial statements for 2016 do not include any items of similar magnitude. However, the Belarusian currency will continue to carry a risk of devaluation in the future, and if realised, this would result in a decline in Olvi Group's operating profit, net profit and shareholders' equity denominated in euro.

With regard to the net investment in the Belarusian subsidiary, the Group is exposed to balance sheet conversion risk. The translation position (BYN) on 31 December 2016 was 63.5 million euro (63.0 million euro in 2015). A +/- 10 percent change in the exchange rate would impact the consolidated shareholders' equity by approximately +7.1/–5.8 million euro. Intra-Group receivables and liabilities that constitute a part of the net investment made in a foreign operation have been taken into account in the sensitivity analysis.

The Group's other foreign exchange risks can be considered minor. The functional and reporting currency of the Group's other foreign subsidiaries is the euro. The Group has a minor amount of purchases and sales in other currencies. Due to the nature of the business, the time between order and delivery is short, which results in minor operations-related foreign exchange risk. Foreign exchange risk is also reduced by the fact that most of the Group's product sales and purchases of raw materials are denominated in euro. Loans in foreign currencies are fully hedged.

Consolidated financial income and expenses include a thousand euro of exchange rate gains (53 thousand euro in 2015) and 1,009 thousand euro of exchange rate losses (10,554 thousand euro in 2015).

Olvi Group regularly assesses the exchange rate risks related to operations and financing. Exchange rates can be hedged if this is considered reasonable. During the accounting period, derivatives have not been used for purposes other than hedging external loans.

Foreign currency accounts receivable and payable are presented in Notes 18, Accounts receivable and other receivables, and 24, Accounts payable and other liabilities.

I 2. Interest rate risk

The Group's interest rate risk arises from non-current liabilities. Most of the Group's income and operational cash flows are independent of market interest rate fluctuations.

The Group has diversified its borrowing between fixed- and variable-rate loans. The Group uses interest rate swaps to reduce interest rate risk if required by the debt market conditions. On the

balance sheet date, fixed-rate loans accounted for 76.4 percent (75.8 in 2015) of interest-bearing loans. The principal-weighted average maturity of interest-bearing loans was 1.9 (2.6) years.

Fixed currency swaps taken out for the purpose of hedging against foreign exchange risk associated with loans denominated in foreign currency are recognised at fair value. The Group does not apply hedge accounting in accordance with IFRS.

The amount of payment obligations under finance lease contracts on 31 December 2016 was 3.3 million euro (3.4 million euro in 2015).

The Group aims to optimise financing costs through operational measures and to manage interest rate risk using available means.

The maturity distribution of financial liabilities is presented in Note 23, Financial liabilities.

Sensitivity analysis of interest rate risks according to IFRS 7

The following assumptions have been used when preparing the interest rate risk analysis: The sensitivity analysis represents the pre-tax net earnings effect of a reasonably potential change (= +/- 2%). The effect of a change in the interest rate level is calculated on the amount of interest-bearing variable-rate debt at year-end, in other words, net debt is assumed to remain at the year-end level for the entire accounting period.

Variable-rate net debt on 31 December 2016 amounted to 5,027 thousand euro (8,640). An interest rate increase of two percentage points would increase annual financial expenses by 101 thousand euro. The change does not have any essential effect on consolidated net profit before tax or the consolidated balance sheet.

II Credit risk

The Group's credit risk arises from wholesale and HoReCa (hotel, restaurant, catering) customers with outstanding accounts receivable.

The creditworthiness of the Group's customers is reviewed regularly and always when entering into agreements with new customers. The Group only extends credit to businesses with flawless credit ratings. Furthermore, the Group aims to control credit risks through efficient collection of receivables. The amount of customer-specific accounts receivable is monitored regularly, and the customer's creditworthiness is re-assessed if necessary.

The Group does not have any significant concentrations of credit risk on receivables because its accounts receivable are distributed across a variety of customers and geographical regions. The largest customer accounts for 13.2 percent

(10.8 in 2015) of the Group's total sales. The amount of credit losses recognised in 2016 was 94 (151) thousand euro.

The maturity distribution of accounts receivable is presented in Note 18, Accounts receivable and other receivables.

Investments related to cash management are made in liquid money market instruments having a fundamentally low risk.

III Liquidity risk

Olvi Group's parent company and subsidiaries prepare monthly rolling cash flow estimates that the Group uses for assessing the amount of financing required for business operations in order to maintain sufficient liquid assets to fund everyday operations and investments, as well as to repay any loans falling due.

The Group aims to secure the availability and flexibility of funding by centralising the management of the Group's liquid assets with the parent company. The Group uses several banks and several forms of financing. The Group aims to secure the availability and flexibility of funding with an account overdraft facility and credit limits.

On the date of closing the accounts, the Group had 40 million euro of unused binding credit limits and an account overdraft facility of 5 million euro, 5 million euro of which was unused on 31 December 2016. Some of the facilities are valid until further notice, while some are renewed annually. The Group also has 2 million euro of unbinding credit limits.

The parent company Olvi plc has issued a 30 million euro commercial paper programme in order to secure short-term liquidity needs quickly and cost-efficiently.

At the time of closing the accounts, Olvi plc did not have any short-term loans withdrawn under the commercial paper programme.

In order to secure short-term liquidity, operating capital is monitored regularly, and the aim is to reduce the amount of money tied in operating capital. Key factors include monitoring the turnover rate of receivables and improving the efficiency of credit control.

The Group had 20,297 thousand euro of liquid assets on 31 December 2016 (12,786 thousand euro in 2015). The Group's liquidity on the balance sheet date was good. The current ratio on 31 December 2016 was 1.0 (1.0 in 2015).

Note 23, Financial liabilities, presents the maturity distribution of financial liabilities.

IV Capital risk management

Olvi Group's long-term objective is to generate the highest possible added value on invested capital, however taking into account the expectations imposed on the Group by various parties and the company's development in the long term. The main principle of capital management is to maintain Olvi Group's strong financial position and to ensure that the Group's financing needs can be fulfilled cost-efficiently also under critical financial market conditions.

Another objective is to maintain an optimal capital structure in order to manage and reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or change its capital structure, the Group may change the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, repay capital to shareholders, issue new shares, acquire treasury shares and annul them, or sell its assets to reduce debt.

Capital is monitored through the equity to total assets ratio and the gearing ratio. Olvi Group's equity to total assets ratio in 2016 stood at 62.0 (58.6) percent and the gearing ratio was 2.1 (18.4) percent.

26. Fair values of financial assets and liabilities

Parent Company's Accounting Policies

Olvi plc's accounting period extends from 1 January to 31 December. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Finnish Accounting Standards (FAS).

Fixed assets

Intangible and tangible assets have been recognised on the balance sheet at their direct acquisition cost deducted by accumulated depreciation according to plan. Depreciation according to plan has been calculated on a straight-line basis over the expected economic life of the asset item concerned.

Depreciation periods according to plan:

Trademarks and development costs 10 years
Other intangible fixed assets 5 years
Buildings 30 years
Underground shelter 30 years
Plant machinery and equipment 15 years
Tanks and containers 20 years
Recyclable packaging 5 to 20 years
Wastewater basin, tarpaulin hall 10 years
Other fixed assets 5 years

As of 1 January 2016, Olvi plc adopts the general industry practice of presenting recyclable beverage packages in tangible assets when they meet the criteria of IAS 16. This means that starting from 1 January 2016, property, plant and equipment includes not only the recyclable packages in inventory but also Olvi plc's share of the package stock in accordance to shares determined by the Ekopulloyhdistys association, which Olvi is obliged to repurchase. The repurchase obligation related to packaging used by clients is presented as a current liability on the balance sheet. The balance sheet, financial ratios and notes for the comparison year have been adjusted to correspond to the new accounting policies. The change in accounting policies does not have any substantial effect on consolidated operating profit or net profit for the period.

Inventories

Inventories have been valued in accordance with the FIFO principle at acquisition cost or, if lower, at probable net realisable value. The acquisition cost of raw materials and supplies is determined by the weighted average method. The value of finished and unfinished products includes variable costs and the appropriate proportion of the overheads of acquisition and manufacturing.

Research and development costs

Research and development costs are recognised as expenses in the income statement. Development costs arising from the design of new or more advanced products are capitalised as intangible assets in the balance sheet starting from the time the product is technically feasible, it can be utilised commercially, and future economic benefit is expected from the product. Development costs previously recognised as expenses will not be subsequently capitalised. Amortisation is booked on an item starting from the time it is ready for use.

Pension cover for personnel

Pension cover for personnel has been arranged through a statutory TyEL (EPA) insurance policy with an external pension insurance company. Pension insurance contributions have been allocated to match the salaries booked on an accrual basis in the annual accounts.

Derivative contracts

The parent company's derivative contracts are interest rate swaps measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in financial items within the income statement.

Deferred taxes

A deferred tax liability or asset has been calculated on temporary differences between taxation and the financial statements using the tax rate for upcoming years confirmed by the balance sheet date. The balance sheet includes deferred tax liabilities in their entirety and deferred tax assets up to the estimated probable amount.

Foreign currency items

Transactions denominated in foreign currency have been recognised during the accounting period at the exchange rate on the transaction date,

and any foreign currency receivables and liabilities outstanding on the balance sheet date have been recognised at the mean exchange rate on the balance sheet date.

Treasury shares

Acquired treasury shares are recognised as a reduction in retained earnings.

21. Share-based payments

Olvi plc has share-based incentive plans for key employees. The aim of the share-based incentive plans is to combine the objectives of the shareholders and the key employees in order to increase the value of the company, to make the key employees committed to the company, and to offer them a competitive reward plan based on earning the company's shares.

At the end of fiscal 2016, an incentive plan based on the parent company's cumulative operating profit in the years 2014 to 2016 expired. Its target group included approximately 50 people. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the plan, rewards would have been paid in Olvi plc Series A shares and in cash. The targets of the plan were not met, which means that the plan will lapse. No costs arising from the plan have been recognised in the parent company's financial statements.

Olvi plc has an active share-based incentive plan with one three-year performance period, beginning on 1 July 2014 and ending on 30 June 2017. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the plan, rewards will be paid in Olvi plc Series A shares and partially in cash.

The cash proportion is intended to cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the rewards to the key employees. The prerequisite for receiving a reward for this performance period is that a key employee purchases the company's Series A shares up to the maximum number determined by the Board of Directors. Furthermore, entitlement to a reward is tied to the continuance of employment or service upon reward payment. In 2016, accounting entries associated with the performance period from 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2017 were recognised for a total of 51.7 thousand euro.

On 24 February 2016, Olvi plc's Board of Directors decided on a new share-based incentive plan for the Group's key personnel. The performance period for the share-based incentive plan is two years. The prerequisite for receiving reward is that a key employee purchases the company's Series A shares up to the maximum number determined by the Board of Directors. Furthermore, entitlement to a reward is tied to the continuance of employment or service upon reward payment. Rewards will be paid partly in the company's Series A shares and partly in cash in 2018. The cash proportion is intended to cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the rewards to the key employees. The Board of Directors may decide that the share proportion be paid fully or partially in cash. The plan is directed to approximately 50 people. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the plan are in total an approximate maximum of 36,280 series Series A shares in Olvi plc and a cash payment needed for taxes and tax-related costs arising from the shares. The costs of the plan will be recognised over the performance period from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2018. In 2016, costs associated with the plan established on 24 February 2016 were recognised for a total of 264.8 thousand euro.

Olvi Group does not have any other share-based plans or option plans.

The Group presents figures directly derived from the consolidated income statement: net sales, operating profit and profit for the period, the corresponding percentages in proportion to net sales, as well as the earnings per share ratio. (Earnings per share = Profit belonging to parent company shareholders / Average number of shares during the period, adjusted for share issues).

In addition to the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, Olvi Group presents Alternative Performance Measures that describe the financial development of its business and provide a commensurate overall view of the company's profitability, financial position and liquidity.

The Group has applied the ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) new guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures that entered into force on 3 July 2016 and defined APMs as described below.

As an APM supporting net sales, the Group presents sales volumes in millions of litres. Sales volume is an important indicator of the extent of operations generally used in the industry.

The definition of gross margin is operating profit plus depreciation and impairment.

Gross capital expenditure consists of total expenditure on fixed assets, including the effect of any corporate acquisitions.

Equity per share = Shareholders' equity held by parent company shareholders / Number of shares at end of period, adjusted for share issues

Equity to total assets, % = 100 * (Shareholders' equity held by parent company shareholders + non-controlling interests) / (Balance sheet total)

Gearing, % = 100 * (Interest-bearing debt – cash in hand and at bank) / (Shareholders' equity held by parent company shareholders + non-controlling interests)

Board of Directors' proposal for the distribution of profit

The parent company Olvi plc had 47.8 (47.7) million euro of distributable funds on 31 December 2016, of which profit for the period accounted for 14.7 (11.7) million euro.

Olvi plc's Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that distributable funds be used as follows:

  • a dividend of 0.75 (0.70) euro shall be paid for 2016 on each Series K and Series A share, totalling 15.6 (14.5) million euro. The dividend represents 47.9 (65.1) percent of Olvi Group's earnings per share.

The dividend will be paid to shareholders registered in Olvi plc's register of shareholders held by Euroclear Finland Ltd on the record date of the dividend payment, 25 April 2017. It is proposed that the dividend be paid on 10 May 2017.

No dividend shall be paid on treasury shares.

  • 32.2 million euro shall be retained in the parent company's non-restricted equity.
