President and CEO Eero Hautaniemi's comments regarding the financial statements release: "Oriola-KD's net sales increased by 5.0 per cent to EUR 2,598.5 million and operating profit excluding non-recurring items increased from EUR 26.8 million to EUR 29.0 million in 2013. Operating profit excluding non-recurring items includes project costs totalling EUR 2.7 million booked in the first half of 2013 and, based on a court decision received in January 2014, a EUR 1.2 million cancellation of the principal bonus recognised in 2011 concerning the Russian wholesale trade. In addition, EUR 0.7 million in trade receivables related to the efficiency measures carried out in the Russian wholesale business was written off in the final quarter. Despite the weaker result of the Consumer Health business, operating profit of the Finland and Baltics business was at the previous year's level, at EUR 20.9 (20.8) million, due to the improved efficiency of the wholesale business. Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden's operating profit excluding non-recurring items increased from EUR 16.2 million to EUR 26.1 million in 2013. Profitability improved in both Swedish operating segments.  Integration of the Medstop acquisition proceeded according to plan and the merger of the pharmacy companies was put into effect in the last quarter. Roughly half of the targeted annual synergy benefits of EUR 8-10 million were confirmed by the end of 2013, as planned. An efficiency programme was started in the Swedish wholesale business in the third quarter. The aim is to achieve a significant improvement in operating profit gradually from 2014 onwards. Pharmaceutical Trade Russia's operating profit excluding non-recurring items decreased from EUR -2.3 million to EUR -8.0 million in 2013. The Russian retail business's operating profit stabilised and was positive for 2013. The delivery issues in the Moscow region related to the implementation of the warehouse management system were solved by the end of the second quarter but sales in the region were significantly short of their annual targets. Regional and hospital sales again increased substantially from the figures for the comparison period. The total cost estimate of the new main logistics centre in Moscow is EUR 25-28 million, of which investments account for EUR 15.7 million. According to our project plan, operations will be gradually transferred to the new facilities and full production capacity will be reached by the end of the first quarter in 2015."

The company has been included in the Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden reporting segment since 1 June 2013. Medstop Group Holding AB was merged into Oriola-KD Holding Sverige AB, and Kronans Droghandel Apotek AB was merged into Medstop AB in the last quarter of 2013. Following this, Medstop AB changed its name to Kronans Droghandel Apotek AB. In the Russian retail business, OOO Farmask was merged into OOO Vitim & Co in September 2013 as a Group-internal subsidiary merger. The change does not have any impact on the Group's result for the period. The Group's net sales and result for January-December 2013 Oriola-KD's net sales increased by 5.0 per cent to EUR 2,598.5 (2,474.4) million and its operating profit excluding non-recurring items increased by 8.1 per cent to EUR 29.0 (26.8) million in 2013. Operating profit was EUR 21.0 (25.8) million. Oriola-KD's operating profit excluding non-recurring items was reduced by project costs totalling EUR 2.7 million booked in the first half of 2013 and, based on a court decision received in January 2014, the EUR 1.2 million cancellation of the principal bonus recognised in 2011 related to the Russian wholesale trade. In addition, EUR 0.7 million in trade receivables related to the efficiency measures carried out in the Russian wholesale business was written off in the final quarter. Profit after financial items was EUR 7.4 (20.5) million and profit for the period EUR 5.8 (16.4) million. Oriola-KD's financial expenses increased to EUR 13.6 (5.3) million.  Oriola-KD's financial expenses increased as a result of higher interest rate costs resulting from the acquisition of Medstop and the accrued foreign exchange loss of EUR 1.4 million from the change in the fair value of the Group-internal loan granted to the Russian subsidiary.  Earnings per share were EUR 0.04 (EUR 0.11). Return on equity was 2.0 (5.4) per cent in 2013. The comparative financial figures for 2012 have been revised due to a change in the calculation method for pension liabilities (IAS 19R (revision) Employee benefits). The impact has been itemised under Revision of IAS 19 Employee benefits standard. The Group's net sales and result for October-December 2013 Fourth-quarter net sales were EUR 679.6 (707.8) million. Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 12.4 (10.5) million and operating profit was EUR 10.4 (10.5) million for the period.  Profit after financial items was EUR 5.9 (12.0) million. Oriola-KD's net financial expenses were EUR 4.5 (+1.5) million. Profit for the October-December period was EUR 5.6 (11.4) million and earnings per share were EUR 0.04 (0.08).

The Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden reporting segment comprises the Swedish pharmaceutical retail and Swedish pharmaceutical wholesale operating segments. The Pharmaceutical Trade Russia reporting segment comprises the Russian pharmaceutical retail and Russian pharmaceutical wholesale operating segments. Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics Key Figures 10-12 10-12 Change 1-12 1-12 Change EUR million 2013 2012 % 2013 2012 % ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Sales 109.4 118.3 -7.6 425.3 460.5 -7.6   Pharmaceutical Wholesale in Finland 88.2 97.6 -9.6 342.1 380.7 -10.1   Pharmaceutical wholesale in Baltics 10.8 10.1 6.8 41.0 36.1 13.5   Consumer Health 10.5 10.7 -2.1 42.7 44.2 -3.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EBITDA 5.7 6.1 -6.5 24.3 23.9 1.8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating profit 4.8 5.2 -8.7 20.9 20.8 0.6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating profit % 4.4 4.4   4.9 4.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of personnel at the end of period       505 476 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- October-December 2013 Net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics in the fourth quarter of 2013 was EUR 109.4 (118.3) million and operating profit EUR 4.8 (5.2) million.  Fourth quarter invoicing by the Finnish wholesale business was EUR 257.9 (270.2) million and net sales EUR 88.2 (97.6) million, net sales of the Baltic wholesale business were EUR 10.8 (10.1) million and net sales of the Consumer Health business were EUR 10.5 (10.7) million. January-December 2013 Net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics declined by 7.6 per cent to EUR 425.3 (460.5) million and operating profit grew by 0.6 per cent to EUR 20.9 (20.8) million in 2013. Invoicing by the Finnish wholesale business was EUR 1,022.6 (1,040.2) million and net sales were EUR 342.1 (380.7) million. Net sales of the Baltic wholesale business were EUR 41.0 (36.1) million and net sales of the Consumer Health business were EUR 42.7 (44.2) million. Profitability of the Finnish wholesale business improved as a result of measures taken to improve operating efficiency.  As was expected, discontinuation of the distribution of AstraZeneca's products by Oriola-KD caused a drop in the net sales of the Finnish wholesale business in 2013. Oriola-KD's business in the Baltics grew positively during the period and the start of pharmaceutical distribution and marketing cooperation with MSD proceeded as planned. The Finnish pharmaceutical market grew by 1.8 (+3.0) per cent in 2013. The decrease in drug reimbursements and the 5 per cent cut in the wholesale prices of patented medicines in February 2013 had a negative impact on the growth of the pharmaceutical market in Finland (source: IMS Health). Oriola-KD held a 46.2 (47.0) per cent share of the pharmaceutical wholesale market in Finland in 2013 (source: ATY). Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics had 505 (476) employees at the end of 2013.

Net sales of the retail business totalled EUR 192.8 (126.3) million, invoicing of the wholesale business was EUR 373.2 (385.4) million and its net sales were EUR 174.0 (204.0) million.  Medstop acquisition boosted the net sales of the retail business by EUR 62.7 million during the fourth quarter. January-December 2013 Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden's net sales increased by 12.5 per cent to EUR 1,194.4 (1,061.3) million in 2013. Operating profit excluding non-recurring items increased by 61.6 percent from EUR 16.2 million to EUR 26.1 million, and operating profit by 22.1 per cent from EUR 15.1 million to EUR 18.4 million in 2013. Profitability improved in both Swedish operating segments.  Net sales of the retail business were EUR 669.6 (502.5) million, invoicing of the wholesale business was EUR 1,509.3 (1,401.4) million and net sales EUR 743.4 (636.7) million.  Acquisition of Medstop increased net sales of the retail business by EUR 187.1 million.  The start of the centralised purchasing, warehousing and pharmacy distribution service offered to pharmacy chains has helped to increase the net sales of the wholesale business. Development of the product assortment on offer boosted the operating profit of the retail business. In the retail business the share of sales of OTC- and traded goods increased to 26.9 (25.3) per cent. Oriola-KD had 297 (219) pharmacies in Sweden at the end of 2013, operating under the Kronans Apotek name. The Medstop acquisition increased the number of pharmacies by 67. Oriola- KD opened a total of 15 (11) pharmacies in Sweden in 2013. A total of 30 (32) new pharmacies were established on the Swedish pharmacy market during the period. In 2013, Oriola-KD had a market share of 20.5 (13.4) per cent of the retail business per cent according to the company's estimate. The integration of the Medstop acquisition has progressed to plan.  The pharmacy companies were merged in the final quarter of 2013. The total targeted synergy benefit from the acquisition is EUR 8-10 million annually as of 2015. Roughly half of the synergy benefits were confirmed by the end of 2013, as planned. Net sales and operating profit in the Swedish wholesale business improved as planned in the second half of the year as a result of the consolidation of the centralised purchasing, warehousing and pharmacy distribution service offered to pharmacy chains. The relative share of parallel imports and generic pharmaceuticals has remained high on the Swedish pharmaceutical market, which has slowed down the growth of net sales and operating profit in the wholesale business.  At the end of 2013, a programme to improve profitability was carried out in the Swedish wholesale business.  In the company's estimate, Oriola-KD's market share of the wholesale trade was 37.1 (35.8) per cent in 2013. Oriola-KD ceased the distribution of Sanofi-Aventis products by the end of 2013.  Sanofi- Aventis has a market share of about 0.9 per cent on the Swedish pharmaceutical market (source: IMS Health). The pharmaceutical market in Sweden decreased by 1.4 (-1.7) per cent (source: IMS Health), while the retail market for OTC products and traded goods increased by 6.1 (+4.8) per cent (source: Nielsen) in 2013. Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden had 1,849 (1,324) employees at the end of 2013, of whom 1,573 (1,064) were employed in retail and 277 (260) were employed in wholesale.

Board authorisations The AGM, held on 20 March 2013, authorised the Board to decide on repurchasing up to fifteen million of the company's own class B shares, which may also be carried out in a manner other than in proportion to the holdings of the shareholders. The authorisation is in force for eighteen months following the decision of the AGM. The AGM, held on 20 March 2013, authorised the Board to decide on a share issue against payment in one or more issues, including the right to issue new class B shares or to assign class B treasury shares held by the company.  The authorisation covers a combined maximum of thirty million class B shares of the company and includes the right to derogate from the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription right.  The authorisation is in force for eighteen months following the decision of the AGM. On 20 March 2013, the Board was also authorised to decide on a bonus issue of class B shares to the company in one or more issues, and on a directed issue of class B shares to implement the new share incentive scheme for the Oriola-KD Group's management and the share savings plan for its key employees. The maximum amount of the company's new class B shares issued under this authorisation is 1,715,000, which is 1.13 per cent of the company's total shares. The authorisation will remain in force for a maximum of five (5) years following the decision of the AGM. Dividend distribution In accordance with a Board proposal, the AGM decided to distribute EUR 0.05 per share in dividend from the 2012 financial year and EUR 0.04 per share in repayment of equity, totalling EUR 13.6 (12.1) million.  The dividend and repayment of equity was paid to those who, on the record date of 25 March 2013, were entered as shareholders of Oriola-KD Corporation in the company's shareholder register maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd.

In the review period, the traded volume of Oriola-KD Corporation shares, excluding treasury shares, corresponded to 21.1 (23.3) per cent of the total number of shares. The traded volume of class A shares amounted to 6.8 (12.0) per cent of the average stock, and that of class B shares, excluding treasury shares, 27.5 (28.4) per cent of the average stock. At the end of December 2013, the company had a total of 151.257.828 shares (151.257.828), of which 47.148.710 were class A shares (47.148.710) and 104.109.118 were class B shares (104.109.118). The company has 115.902 treasury shares, all of which are class B shares. These account for 0.06 per cent of the company's shares and 0.011 per cent of the votes.

During the period 1 January- 30 December 2013, 0 (0) class A shares were converted into class B shares. On 19 December 2012, Oriola-KD Corporation's Board of Directors decided on a new share incentive scheme for the Group's senior management for the years 2013-2015. The scheme covers eight persons. The company's Board of Directors will determine the earnings criteria for the earning period and the targets to be set for these at the start of each earning period.  The bonus for the 2013 earning period is based on the Oriola-KD Group's earnings per share (EPS) and return on capital employed (ROCE).  The maximum bonus for the 2013 earning period is 1,077,500 shares. The Board of Oriola-KD Corporation approved the terms and conditions of the key employees' share savings plan on 28 May 2013. A total of about 50 key employees are participating in the plan.  The savings period will start on 1 October 2013 and end on 30 September 2014. The maximum and minimum monthly savings amount to 10 and 2 per cent, respectively, of each participant's fixed gross monthly salary.  The accumulated savings will be used for purchasing Oriola-KD's class B shares for the participants at market prices. About two years after the start of the programme, the company will give the participants two class B shares for every three shares purchased as part of the programme.  The shares given to the participants will be partially used for paying taxes. Liquidity guarantee There is no liquidity guarantee in effect for the shares of Oriola-KD Corporation. Flagging announcements After the purchasing of shares by Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company on 25 April 2013, its portion of the votes conferred by the shares of Oriola-KD Corporation exceeded the one twentieth (1/20) limit referred to in Chapter 9, section 5 of the Securities Markets Act. On 25 April 2013, the direct shareholding of Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company totalled 4.14 per cent of Oriola-KD Corporation's shares and 5.07 per cent of the votes conferred by the shares. Risks Oriola-KD's Board of Directors has approved the company's risk management policy in which the risk management operating model, principles, responsibilities and reporting are specified. The Group's risk management seeks to identify, measure and manage risks that may threaten Oriola-KD's operations and the achievement of goals set. The roles and responsibilities relating to risk management have been determined in the Group. Oriola-KD's risks are classified as strategic, operational and financial. Risk management is a key element of the strategic process, operational planning and daily decision-making at Oriola-KD. Oriola-KD has identified the following principal strategic and operational risks in its business: * Amendments to pharmaceutical market regulations may weaken Oriola-KD's profitability. * In the Swedish retail business, the free establishment of pharmacies has led to an increase in the number of pharmacies. The number of pharmacies may continue to grow, which could further increase the fierce competition. * In the Russian retail business, tough competition resulting from the large number of pharmacies may lead to a further decrease in the gross margin and a rapid turnover rate of key personnel. * Extra capacity ensuing from a change made in the Swedish wholesale market will intensify competition, which may weaken the profitability of operations. The share of single channel distribution in the pharmaceutical wholesale market may decline rapidly, which may weaken the profitability of operations and lead to the restructuring of wholesale operations. * As a result of the tough competition in the Russian wholesale business, the gross margin may decline further, which will lead to a continued need to intensify operations and restructure wholesale operations over the long term. The payment behaviour that is typical to the Russian market, combined with the regional expansion of operations may increase credit risks. * Strategic development projects involve operational risks. The main financial risks for Oriola-KD involve currency rate, liquidity, interest rate and credit risks. Currency risks are the most significant financial risks in Russia and Sweden as any changes in the value of the Russian ruble and the Swedish krona will have an impact on Oriola-KD's earnings and equity. Oriola-KD prepares goodwill impairment testing twice a year, in accordance with the timetable of its strategy and planning process. Changes in cash flow forecasts based on strategic plans, or in the discount rate or perpetuity growth rate, can cause a goodwill write-off, which would weaken Oriola-KD's result. The impairment test on the goodwill of the cash-generating wholesale unit in Russia is particularly sensitive to changes in the discount rate or cash-flow forecasts. Near-term risks and uncertainty factors The slowing down in the economic growth of Russia as well as the continuing weakening of the external value of the Russian rubble may have an effect on the profitability of the Oriola-KD Russian businesses in 2014. A decrease in gross margin resulting from intense competition and an increase in credit risks concerning customers may have an impact on the profitability of the wholesale business in Russia. Oriola-KD's strategic development projects in the Russian wholesale business and the operations in Sweden involve operational risks which may have an effect on Oriola-KD's profitability. Oriola-KD's long-term financing agreement contains financial covenants concerning the ratio between Oriola- KD's net debt and rolling 12-month EBITDA and the Group's gearing ratio. Weakening profitability of Oriola- KD's business operations may affect Oriola-KD's ability to meet the financial covenants contained in the financing agreement. Outlook Oriola-KD's outlook for 2014 is based on external market forecasts, agreements with pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies, and management assessments. During the five year period from 2013 to 2017, the Finnish pharmaceutical market is expected to grow at an annual rate of 1.4 per cent and decline an average of 1.3 per cent in Sweden per year while During the five year period from 2013 to 2017, the Finnish pharmaceutical market is expected to grow at an annual rate of 1.4 per cent and decline by an annual average of 1.3 per cent in Sweden, while the Russian pharmaceutical market is expected to grow by an average of almost 10 per cent annually in the local currencies (source: IMS Health Market Prognosis 2013-2017). Outlook for 2014 Oriola-KD estimates that net sales and operating profit excluding non-recurring items will increase compared to 2013 actual. Events after the review period On 28 January 2014, the Board of Directors of Oriola-KD Corporation received a demand in accordance with Chapter 5, section 5, of the Limited Liability Companies Act from a group of shareholders representing more than 10 per cent of Oriola-KD shares and more than 15 per cent of the votes conferred by these shares to include the merging of share classes and a direct issue of shares to class A shareholders without payment to be included on the agenda of the Annual General Meeting to be held on 24 March 2014. Distribution proposal Oriola-KD's parent company is Oriola-KD Corporation, whose distributable assets based on the balance sheet on 31 December 2013 were EUR 226.7 (225.3) million. Oriola-KD Corporation's net profit in 2013 was EUR 15.7 (15.5) million. The Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that no dividend be distributed (EUR 0.05 per share was distributed on 2012) and that no funds from the invested non-restricted equity fund (EUR 0.04 per share on 2012) be distributed as return of equity. Annual General Meeting Oriola-KD Corporation's Annual General Meeting will be held on 24 March 2014 at 5.00 p.m. at the Helsinki Fair Centre. The matters specified in article 10 of the Articles of Association and other proposals of the Board of Directors, if any, will be dealt with at the meeting. The Board of Directors will decide on the notice of the Annual General Meeting and the proposals contained in it at a later date. The full notice of the Annual General Meeting will be published on 25 February 2014. Publication of the annual report Oriola-KD Corporation will publish its 2013 annual report on 7 February 2014. The financial statements in their entirety will be published by 26 February 2014. Next interim report Oriola-KD Corporation will publish its results for the first quarter of 2014 on Thursday 24 April 2014 at about 8.30 am.

The accounting policies and calculation methods applied in the interim report are the same as those in the 31 December 2012 annual financial statements, excluding the standards and interpretation applied as of 1 January 2013 and presented below. However, the interim report does not include all of the information and notes present in the annual financial statements. Consequently, the interim report should be read with the company's financial statements for 2012. The accounting policies of the 2012 and 2013 financial years are comparable. The company has not discontinued any operations in 2012 or 2013 that it should report. The same principles of calculation have been used for the indicators in this interim report as for those of the annual financial statements. The figures in the interim report have been rounded independently. New amendments that have been applied since 1 January 2013: * Amendment to the standard IAS1 Presentation of Financial Statements (effective in financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2013). * Amendment to the standard IAS 19R (revised) Employee Benefits (effective in financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2013). * IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (effective in financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2013). The impact of the amendment of standard IAS 19 Employee benefits on the consolidated result has been itemised below. The amendments of the other new standards referred to above have had minor impact on the Group. Two new indicators have been introduced in the second quarter of 2013: EBITDA excluding non-recurring items and EBITDA. EBITDA excluding non-recurring items is calculated as follows: operating profit excluding non-recurring items plus depreciation and impairment excluding non-recurring items. EBITDA is calculated as follows: operating profit plus depreciation and impairment. The quarterly indicator for return on investment (ROI) and return on equity (ROE) is annualised as follows: ((1+quarterly earnings)^4)-1). The figures in this interim report are unaudited. Amendment of the IAS 19 standard Employee benefits The Oriola-KD Group has applied the standard IAS 19 Employee benefits as of 1 January 2013. The amendment impacts the Oriola-KD Group's pension costs and result and the pension assets and obligations and equity on the balance sheet. As a consequence of the amendment, the 2012 consolidated profit and loss account and balance sheet have been updated as required by the revised standard. The key amendments of the standards IAS 19R (revised) Employee benefits are that all actuarial gains and losses must be recognised immediately in other comprehensive income and that expected yield from assets no longer depends on investment distribution. The discount rate used in the calculation of pension debt is used as the expected yield of investments. The corridor method will no longer be used and financing expenditure will be the sum of net interest rates. The net interest rate is the difference between the interest rate costs of pension debt and the interest rate income from assets. Despite the amendment, the Group has decided to recognise the sum of net interest rate in personnel expenses. With the implementation of the revised standard IAS 19 Employee benefits, the Oriola-KD Group's operating profit excluding non-recurring items, operating profit and profit for the financial year 2012 and, on the balance sheet, the pension assets and equity are smaller and pension obligation is larger than when calculated in accordance with the standard in force up to 31 December 2012. The impact of the implementation on consolidated operating profit excluding non- recurring items and operating profit for 2012 is EUR 1.0 million. The impact on Group equity on the 2012 opening balance sheet is EUR -4.8 million and EUR -4.4 million on the 31 December 2012 balance sheet due to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses and their tax effect on equity on the consolidated balance sheet. The following tables present a summary of the key figures following the amendment of the accounting policy.   1-3 1-6 1-9 1-12 EUR million  2012 2012 2012 2012 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating profit excluding non-recurring items 5.2 9.2 16.4 26.8  Operating profit   5.2 9.2 15.3 25.8 Profit before taxes 2.5 4.5 8.4 20.5 Profit for the period 1.3 2.8 5.0 16.4 Comprehensive profit for the period 15.5 6.6 17.8 27.9 Earnings per share to shareholders of the parent company on the profit for the period, EUR Diluted, EUR 0.01 0.02 0.03 0.11 Adjusted for the dilution effect, EUR 0.01 0.02 0.03 0.11   1-3 4-6 7-9 10-12 1-12 EUR million 2012  2012  2012  2012 2012 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating profit excluding non-recurring items 5.2 4.0 7.2 10.5 26.8 Operating profit   5.2 4.0 6.2 10.5 25.8 Profit before taxes 2.5 2.0 4.0 12.0 20.5 Profit for the period 1.3 1.5 2.1 11.4 16.4 Comprehensive profit for the period 15.5 -8.8 11.2 10.1 27.9 Earnings per share for shareholders of the parent company on the profit for the period, EUR Diluted, EUR 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.08 0.11 Adjusted for the dilution effect, EUR 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.08 0.11 EUR million 31 Mar 2012 30 Jun 2012 30 Sep 2012 31 Dec 2012 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Non-current pension assets 4.3 4.1 3.8 6.6 Non-current pension obligations 7.8 7.9 8.3 9.7 Equity of the parent company's shareholders 297.9 289.2 300.4 310.5 Change in Property, Plant and Equipment, 1-12 1-12 EUR million 2013 2012 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Carrying amount at the beginning of the period 81.4 74.0 Increases through acquisitions of subsidiary shares 8.0 - Increases 22.4 16.6 Decreases -1.4 -0.5 Depreciation -14.8 -11.1 Foreign exchange rate differences -2.4 2.4 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Carrying amount at the end of the period 93.2 81.4 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Derivatives, Commitments and Contingent Liabilities 31 Dec 2013   Positive fair Negative fair Nominal values of EUR million  value  value contracts Derivatives recognised as cash flow hedges Interest rate swaps - -0.3 45.2 Derivatives measured at fair value through profit and loss Foreign currency forward and swap contracts 0.8 - 159.3 31 Dec 2012   Positive fair Negative fair Nominal values of EUR million  value value  contracts Derivatives recognised as cash flow hedges Interest rate swaps - -1.0 46.6 Derivatives measured at fair value through profit and loss Foreign currency forward and swap contracts 3.2 - 139.3 Interest rate swaps - -0.0 116.5 Derivatives measured at fair value through profit and loss are mainly related to hedging of the Group's internal transactions.

The acquisition has been entered in the books on a preliminary basis, as permitted under IFRS 3R (revised).  Oriola-KD will make the necessary adjustments to these preliminary assessments during the 12 months following the acquisition date. The preliminary booked goodwill of EUR 129.9 million is the value of Medstop's experienced personnel, synergy benefits that can be achieved in purchasing operations, storage and pharmacy distribution and growth expectations.  The goodwill entered in the books is not tax-deductible. The original acquisition cost calculation made in Swedish krona (SEK) has been converted into euros on the basis of the exchange rate of 31 May 2013.  The results and balance sheet of Medstop have been consolidated into Oriola-KD as of 1 June 2013.
