Orkla ASA - Investor Presentation 2015

Orkla ASA: Investor Day - Orkla targets increased growth

Orkla is holding an Investor Day in London today. A webcast may be viewed at

www.orkla.com.

Orkla's strategy of being the leading Nordic branded consumer goods company,

with the Nordics and Baltics as its main markets, remains unchanged.

The Board of Directors will propose a dividend policy that maintains a stable

dividend of a minimum of NOK 2.50 per share.

Orkla targets organic growth at least in line with market growth and annual,

adjusted growth in EBIT of 6-9 per cent in the Branded Consumer Goods area for

the period 2016-2018.

"Growth will be achieved in part through bigger innovations, which will

increasingly be launched across Orkla's markets and business areas. In addition,

acquisitions in selected categories, channels and markets will strengthen

Orkla's position as a leading branded consumer goods company", says President &

CEO Peter A. Ruzicka in a comment.

Orkla will improve profitability by increasing operational efficiency throughout

its value chain. By working more closely as one Orkla, the Group will exploit

synergies more effectively across its operations, while cultivating Orkla's

unique local customer and consumer insight.
