Mikko Wirén, CEO of Pihlajalinna:

Pihlajalinna Group is at the strongest growth stage in its operational history. During the first six months of 2015 revenue grew by 55 per cent reaching EUR 99.8 million. Majority of this came through organic growth, such as the start of service provision under the Parkano healthcare and social care outsourcing contract (since 1 January 2015).

All business areas of the Group are growing, but most of the short-term increase in revenue is due to complete outsourcings of healthcare and social care in municipalities and in federations of municipalities. During 1 January 2015 – 1 January 2016 there has begun and will begin new contracts, which will generate an aggregate revenue exceeding the whole Group's revenue in 2014. Nearly 80 per cent of the revenue from the new contracts will be generated after 1 September 2015.

The profitability during the period was significantly influenced by reinforcement of the administration and other supporting functions, opening of the new private clinics, which at launching still had lower capacity utilisation rates, and costs from taking over the above-mentioned forthcoming large outsourcings. Since the spring in 2015 Pihlajalinna has been preparing future healthcare and social care outsourcings in Jämsä, Kuusiokunnat and Soini. Revenue and profit from these contracts will, however, be generated only after taking over. Healthcare and social care outsourcings in Parkano (since 1 January 2015) and in Kihniö (since 1 May 2015) have started according to the contracts.

Increases in resources and significant development projects are crucial for strengthening the Group for strong future growth in accordance with the strategy. Listing of the company on OMX Helsinki caused considerable non-recurring costs in the reporting period. I am especially pleased by the improvement in cash flow from operating activities and by the notable decrease in financial costs since the listing in June.

Our Initial Public Offering was in all successful and the shares were oversubscribed multifold. As a result of the Initial Public Offering we strengthened our balance sheet, raised equity for future growth investments and increased our awareness in all interest groups. The number of our shareholders at the end of the reporting period was 2,869 (174).

In 2015 Pihlajalinna will focus in taking over large complete healthcare and social care outsourcings and developing our operations widely. During the present financial year we have further developed many processes in seamless care chain and outlines in different fields of healthcare. By putting these in operation, our clients can both increase the performance in their operation and improve the quality of their services.

During the past ten years, Pihlajalinna has executed dozens of acquisitions. Since 1 January 2014 the activity in acquisitions has been especially high (21 acquisitions). Regardless of the strong and on-going growth, overlapping functions have developed due to numerous acquisitions and taking over outsourcing contracts. Restructuring of the Group will be carried out during the autumn in 2015. The objective of the restructuring is to simplify the corporate structure and to reduce the amount of the overlapping functions.

Restructuring of the Group will be carried out during the autumn in 2015. Its objective is to simplify the company structure and to reduce the amount of overlapping functions. In connection of the restructuring the management and administration structure as well as a correct level of personnel resources of the various branches, that best serves business operations and segment division will be implemented. Possible administrative and operational overlaps will be discussed in cooperation with the personnel. We will proceed already in August 2015 in Dental Care and Care -services units and concentrate the private and public operations under the same management.

The outlook in the market for Pihlajalinna maintain positive, and the company's market position is strong. In the complete healthcare and social care outsourcings the company is the market leader, and it is delightful to see, that the positive results in the outsourcings that have already taken place, have also stimulated interest in complete outsourcings in medium-sized municipalities. Numerous smaller municipalities have already become active in decision making.

The Company continues strong growth also in occupational healthcare and proceeds according to the strategy in expanding Dextra units to largest cities and towns nationwide.

Cutting of the national health insurance reimbursement levels are estimated to influence the C&S segment somewhat however the impact is estimated to be significantly lower that the short term customer flow of the segment. On the other hand as the customer flow may partly move to the public healthcare it is estimated to increase P&S segment's customer flow.

Guidance on Group outlook

Pihlajalinna's consolidated revenue is expected to exceed EUR 200 million in 2015.

Consolidated revenue and operating profit

January–June 2015

Pihlajalinna's revenue during the reporting period ended 30 June 2015 amounted to EUR 99.8 million, an increase of EUR 35.5 million or 55 per cent, over the revenue of EUR 64.3 million during the corresponding period ended 30 June 2014. Organic growth amounted to about EUR 22.6 million, including the new healthcare and social care services outsourcings.

M&A transactions accounted for about 36 per cent or EUR 12.8 million of the growth in revenue.

The group's materials and services represented 38.6 per cent (33.2%) of consolidated revenue or EUR 38.5 million (EUR 21.3 million). The Group's employee benefit expenses represented 45.0 per cent (46.5%) of consolidated revenue or EUR 44.9 million (EUR 29.9 million). Other operating expenses totalled 11.7 per cent (11.4%) of revenue or EUR 11.7 million (7.3 million).

Depreciation and amortisation for the reporting period totalled EUR 3.8 million (EUR 2.7 million). Amortisation of intangible assets during the reporting period was EUR 1.4 million (EUR 1.0 million), of which the amortisation of the intangible assets separate from goodwill, allocated from the costs of business combinations at the date of

acquisition, totalled EUR 1.1 million (EUR 0.9 million). Depreciation of property, plant and equipment totalled EUR 2.4 million (EUR 1.7 million).

Pihlajalinna's operating profit amounted to EUR 1.3 million, a decrease of EUR 2.2 million, or 62 per cent, over the operating profit of EUR 3.5 million during the corresponding period ended 30 June 2014. Operating profit represented 1.3 per cent of revenue in the reporting period (5.4%).

Operating profit includes EUR 0.9 million non-recurring costs relating to the Initial Public Offering of the Company.

Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 2.3 million (EUR 3.9 million).

The decline in operating profit was due to increased depreciation and amortisation related to the Group's investments for growth (in total EUR 1.0 million) and weaker than expected results of the new private clinic openings during the reporting period, the reinforcement of the Group's administration, the introduction of new ICT infrastructure and Parempaa huomista! marketing campaign (in total EUR 1.0 million). Increasing resources and carrying out significant development projects are crucial for strengthening the Group for future growth.

Revenue and operating profit by operating segments

January–June 2015

Private Clinics and Specialised Care (C & S)

The Private Clinics and Specialised Care segment (C & S) provides general practitioner and medical specialist consultation services, surgical services and occupational healthcare services and dental care services. The segment's customers comprise private persons in all age groups, companies, entrepreneurs, public enterprises, cities, municipalities, other public entities, and associations and foundations. The units of Pihlajalinna Group's Private Clinics and Specialised Care segment are operated under the Dextra brand and the specialised care services are provided to private and public sector customers under

Dextra and Pihlajalinna brands. The Private Clinics and Specialised Care segment is divided into four service areas: Private Clinics, Surgical Operations and Public Specialised Care, Dental Care and Occupational Healthcare.

C & S segment's revenues during the reporting period amounted to EUR 60.7 million, an increase of EUR 24.8 million, or 69 per cent, over the revenue of EUR 35.9 million during the corresponding period ended 30 June 2014.

The increase of the segment's revenue was mainly due to the growth in the Surgical Operations and Public Specialised Care service area's revenue (an increase EUR 17.3 million over to the corresponding period). The growth was due to, among other factors, the extension of

Mänttä-Vilppula's contract in December 2014, the start of the outsourcing contract of Parkano and the acquisition of Laser Tilkka Oy's shares in July 2014. The increase of the revenue in Dental Care service area amounted to EUR 3.8 million, the increase of the revenue in Occupational Health Care service area EUR 2.5 million and the increase in Private Clinics service area EUR 2.5 million.

C & S segment's operating profit during the reporting period amounted to EUR 1.9 million, a decrease of EUR 1.1 million, or 36 per cent, over the operating profit of EUR 3.0 million during the corresponding period ended 30 June 2014.

The Private Clinics and Specialised Care segment's operating profit was burdened especially by the increased depreciation and amortisation (EUR 0.9 million) related to the Group's investments for growth, but in addition the reinforcement of the Group's operative management and administration and the introduction of scalable IT infrastructure.

The relative weakening of the profitability was due to lower than anticipated capacity utilisation rates in the Occupational Healthcare service area and the lower than expected profitability of the new units in the Dental Care service area. In addition, the relative profitability of the segment is decreased by public specialised care that has remarkably grown along with healthcare and social care services outsourcing compared to the previous year's corresponding period.

Operating profit for the reporting period was positively affected by volume growth in Surgical Operations and Public Specialised Care service area and Private Clinics service area and by the acquisition of Keinojuuriklinikka.

In April-May a national Dextra – Parempaa huomista! advertising campaign was carried out. In addition Dextra opened a new full service Private Clinic in Jyväskylä in May.

Primary and Social Care (P & S)

The Primary and Social Care segment (P & S) provides services under the Pihlajalinna brand to public entities. The supply of services include primary healthcare and

social care services that are provided through complete outsourcings, staffing services or in separate care service units. Services for municipalities are mainly provided in the premises determined by them. The Primary and Social Care segment is divided into four service areas: Complete Social and Healthcare Outsourcings, Health Centre Outsourcings, Staffing and Care Services.

P & S segment's revenues during the reporting period amounted to EUR 40.6 million, an increase of EUR 11.4 million, or 39 per cent, over the revenue of EUR 29.1 million during the corresponding period ended 30 June 2014. The growth was mainly due to the start of the Parkano and Kihniö healthcare and social care services outsourcing contracts during the reporting period.

P & S segment's operating profit during the reporting period amounted to EUR 0.8 million, a decrease of EUR 0.2 million, or 19 per cent, over the revenue of EUR 1.0 million during the corresponding period ended 30 June 2014.

The decrease in operating profit was due to the lower relative profitability in Complete Social and Healthcare Outsourcings service area during the first half of the year and a partial decline in the Care Services service area's capacity utilisation rates. The reinforcement of the Group's operative management and administration and the introduction of scalable IT infrastructure also burden the profitability of the Primary and Social Care segment. The acquisition of care homes in Southwest Finland affected, as anticipated, positively to the profitability of Primary and Social Care segment.

Mänttä-Vilppula is planning to invite to tender for healthcare and social care services. Pihlajalinna is a service provider for healthcare and social care services for Mänttä-Vilppula through a temporary contract.

Financial items and profit for the period

The Group's net financial expenses totalled EUR –1.4 million (EUR –1.6 million). The increase in the net financial expenses in the corresponding period January – June 2014 was due to non-recurring financial expenses EUR 0.7 million relating mainly to the extensive restructuring and refinancing arrangement in summer 2014.The Group repaid prematurely its interest bearing liabilities by EUR 30.0 million right after the Initial Public Offering.

Pihlajalinna's profit before tax for the reporting period amounted to EUR –0.1 million, a decrease of EUR 2.0 million, or 106 per cent, over the profit of EUR 1.9 million in the comparative period ended 30 June 2014.

The Group's solvency improved remarkably in the reporting period. The Group's equity ratio in the end of the reporting period was 39.8 per cent (8.8%). The increase in the equity ratio was due to net assets received in the Initial Public Offering. The low equity ratio in the corresponding period was due to the extensive restructuring arrangement and refinancing arrangement carried out during the summer of 2014.

Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 57.2 million (EUR 74.9 million). Return on capital employed was 2.6 per cent (8.6%), and return on equity was 0.1 per cent (11.9%).

Listing of the Company on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki

The Company announced on 4 May 2015 its plan for an Initial Public Offering and listing on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki. The Board of the Company decided under the authorisation given by the Extraordinary General Meeting on 22 May 2015 to arrange the Initial Public Offering and to file the listing application.

In the Initial Public Offering the Company offered for subscription ("Share Issue") and certain shareholders of the Company offered for purchase ("Share Sale") in total preliminary maximum 7,607,076 shares of the Company. Preliminary maximum 500,000 shares were offered to private individuals and organisations in Finland ("Public offering") and preliminary maximum 7,107,076 shares to institutional investors in Finland and internationally ("Institutional offering").

According to the terms and conditions of the Initial Public Offering in the event of an oversubscription, Sentica Buyout III Ky and Sentica Buyout III Co-Investment Ky (together "Institutional Sellers") and the Lead Manager Danske Bank may agree on granting the Lead Manager an over-allotment option exercisable within 30 days from the publication of the final subscription price to subscribe up to 978,000 additional shares. In addition in the terms and conditions of the Initial Public Offering was agreed on stabilisation measures, which the Lead Manager may, within 30 days of the publication of the final subscription price engage in measures that stabilise, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the shares.

The Lead Manager carried out the Share Lending Agreement with Institutional Sellers related to stabilisation according to the terms and conditions of the Initial Public Offering. According to the Share Lending Agreement the Lead Manager borrowed the shares of the Company for the number equal to the over-allotment option.

The Public Offering was discontinued due to oversubscribtion on 1 June 2015 and the Institutional offering was discontinued due to oversubscribtion on 3 June 2015. The final subscription price of Pihlajalinna was set at EUR 10.50 per share on 3 June, 2015. In the Initial Public Offering 5,714,286 new shares were issued corresponding about 43 per cent of the total amount of the shares before the share issue. In the share issue certain shareholders of the Company sold 1,918,409 shares. The over-allotment option was exercised in total. The Lead Manager Danske Bank bought 978,000 shares from the Institutional Sellers on 11 June 2015. In the same connection Danske Bank

redelivered 978,000 shares of Pihlajalinna borrowed on the basis of a Share Lending Agreement to the Institutional Sellers.

No stabilisation measures were carried out since the listing, and due to Pihlajalinna's share price development, the Lead Manager discontinued the stabilisation period.

In the Initial Public Offering in total 749,997 shares were allocated to private individuals and organisations in Finland and 6,882,698 shares for institutional investors in Finland and internationally. The total number of the shares of the Company amounted to 19,113,146 shares. The shares were registered in the trade register on 4 June 2015.

Risks and uncertainties in business operations

As the population ages and the structures of health care services change, social policies may have a material impact on the private health care sector's business environment both in the short and long term. New policies may impact business opportunities in the future, particularly with respect to the availability of skilled expert personnel.

In addition to the aforementioned factors, the Pihlajalinna Group's operational risks and uncertainties in the long term concern the continuity of key existing customer relationships and contracts and the financial impacts of new commitments and contracts, which are continuously increasing in value. The competitive situation in the Pihlajalinna Group's business areas is estimated to remain unchanged.

Political decision-making and structural reforms in the public sector also affect social care and healthcare services and may directly or indirectly impact the Company's business and growth opportunities. The purpose of the planned Social and Healthcare Reform is to guarantee equal social and healthcare services to all citizens of Finland. The future overall effects of the Social and Healthcare Reform and any other possible changes in the arrangement of social and healthcare services are difficult to predict. Reforms may hamper the Company's operations in some areas of social and healthcare services but, on the other hand, the Company's extensive operations in different operating areas may partially balance the effects of reforms.

Events after the end of the reporting period

No significant events have occurred after the balance sheet date.

Accounting policies

This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting) and in compliance with the same accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements

for 2014. All of the figures presented in the condensed financial statements and the notes have been rounded, due to which the actual total of individual figures may differ from the total presented.

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the valuation of the reported assets and liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities on the statement of financial position, and the recognition of the amount of income and expenses. Although the estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may differ from the estimates.

In the 2014 financial year, the Pihlajalinna Group carried out an extensive restructuring and refinancing arrangement. Prior to the restructuring arrangement, the Group's parent company was Pihlajalinna Terveys Oy (former Pihlajalinna Oy, business ID 2303024–5). The Group's new parent company, Pihlajalinna Oy (former Sorbuscast Oy, business ID 2617455–1), was registered on 29 April 2014. In July 2014, Pihlajalinna Oy carried out a directed share issue for the holders of Series A shares in Pihlajalinna Terveys Oy, who exchanged their shares for new shares in Pihlajalinna Oy. As a result of the share swap, Pihlajalinna Oy holds the entire share capital of Pihlajalinna Terveys Oy, and the parties that held a stake in Pihlajalinna Terveys Oy prior to the restructuring became shareholders of Pihlajalinna Oy.
