Raisio plc Stock Exchange Release 3 May 2007 INTERIM REPORT 1 January - 31 March 2007 PROFITABLE RESULT IN THE FIRST QUARTER Turnover increased Raisio's turnover in January-March was up 4.0% to EUR 97.5 million (EUR 93.8 million in January-March 2006). Operating result totalled EUR 1.3 million (EUR -1.0 million). Discontinued operations consist of the diagnostics and potato businesses, and the comparison figures have been adjusted correspondingly. Consequently, the information for the Food Division is presented exclusive of the potato business. Raisio's operating result for 2007, excluding one-off-items, is expected to be clearly profitable. Turnover is expected to grow slightly compared to 2006. This interim report has been prepared in accordance with the IFRS accounting principles. The report does not comply with all of the requirements laid out in IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Raisio has applied the same accounting principles to this Interim Report as it did for the 2006 annual financial statements. The figures for the comparison period are given in brackets in the text.

The Ingredients Division rose back to an operating result level of 20 per cent. The malt business also began to pick up faster than predicted. However, the Food Division still recorded a negative operating result, underscoring the need to raise prices to parallel the increase in expenses. Raisio will stick to its plans and continue to implement rationalisation measures. The main goal for 2007 is to improve profitability and the first quarter of the year was a good start.” RESULT FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS Raisio's turnover in January-March increased by 4.0% to EUR 97.5 million (EUR 93.8 million). Turnover was up on the comparison period in the milling, soy-oat and malt businesses, as well as in the Russian and Polish food businesses. The Food Division's turnover in the period amounted to EUR 49.8 million (EUR 47.4 million), while that of Feed & Malt was EUR 40.9 million (EUR 38.6 million) and that of Ingredients EUR 12.5 million (EUR 13.2 million). Turnover from outside Finland represented 37.8% (37.8%) of the total, or EUR 36.8 million (EUR 35.5 million). The Group's operating result in January-March totalled EUR 1.3 million (EUR -1.0 million). It was up on the comparison period thanks to improvements in the operating result of the ingredients, soy-oat and malt businesses and the Finnish margarine business. The milling, feed and Polish businesses recorded lower operating results than in the same period a year before. The operating result of the Food Division was EUR -0.9 million (EUR -2.0 million), the Feed & Malt Division EUR 0.6 million (EUR 0.5 million), the Ingredients Division EUR 2.5 million (EUR 1.8 million) and other operations EUR -0.8 million (EUR -1.4 million). Depreciation, allocated to operations in the income statement, totalled EUR 4.4 million (EUR 5.3 million) in January-March. The first quarter result before taxes was EUR 1.7 million (EUR -0.5 million). The Group's net financial income in the period totalled EUR 0.5 million (EUR 0.6 million). The post-tax result in January-March was EUR 1.5 million (EUR -0.4 million) and earnings per share totalled EUR 0.01 (EUR 0.00). Return on investment amounted to 2.7% (-0.1%). BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCIAL POSITION At the end of March, Raisio's balance sheet total was EUR 382.5 million (EUR 387.4 million on 31 December 2006) and shareholders' equity amounted to EUR 286.0 million (EUR 290.4 million on 31 December 2006). Equity per share at the end of March was EUR 1.70 (EUR 1.73 on 31 December 2006). The Group's interest-bearing debt at the end of March was EUR 22.2 million (EUR 23.2 million on 31 December 2006). Net interest-bearing debt totalled EUR -31.8 million (EUR -55.6 million on 31 December 2006). The equity ratio at the end of March was 74.9% (75.0% on 31 December 2006), and the gearing ratio was -11.1% (-19.1% on 31 December 2006). Cash flow from operating activities totalled EUR -18.7 million (EUR -7.5 million) in the first quarter. Working capital increased in January-March, totalling EUR 117.6 million (EUR 96.7 million on 31 December 2006). This resulted from the increase in raw material prices, the cyclical nature of business and the measures taken to ensure the availability of raw materials for the coming crop season. Gross investments in January-March totalled EUR 6.6 million (EUR 7.4 million). The biggest single investments targeted the ongoing expansion to the capacity of the stanol ester plant in Raisio and the construction of the feed plant in Ylivieska. According to the resolution made by the Assessment Adjustment Board of the Tax Office for Major Corporations in November 2006, the sales profit from the divestment of Raisio Chemicals, totalling some EUR 220 million, is free of tax. In February 2007, Raisio submitted a rejoinder to the appeal filed by the representative of the Tax Office. Raisio's stand, supported by the expert statements obtained by the company, remains the same: the sales profit is free of tax. CONTINUING BUSINESS OPERATIONS Food The Food Division's first-quarter turnover increased by 5.1% from the comparison period, totalling EUR 49.8 million (EUR 47.4 million). The largest growth in turnover was seen in the soy-oat and milling businesses, as well as in the Russian and Polish operations. Flake sales in Russia grew from the comparison period, but the country's margarine market continued to shrink. The sales of Benecol margarines increased in Poland in the early part of the year, with Raisio a clear market leader in the country. Raisio's margarine sales in Sweden continued to decrease. In Finland, Raisio's retail sales in yellow fats and flakes developed faster than the market on average, and Raisio increased its market shares. The sales of Elovena and Makuisa saw particularly strong growth. Raisio lost some of its market share in pasta products although the sales of value-added pasta increased. The sales of the company's soy-oat products developed clearly stronger than the market in general. In bakery and industrial products, as well as in the catering business, Raisio's position remained more or less the same. Key figures for the Food Division -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 1-3/2007 | 1-3/2006 | 2006 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Turnover, EUR million | 49.8 | 47.4 | 196.5 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Margarines and soy-oat products | 28.9 | 28.8 | 118.6 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Milling products | 21.0 | 19.6 | 78.1 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Other | - | - | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Internal sales | -0.1 | -0.9 | -0.1 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Operating result, EUR million | -0.9 | -2.0 | -37.9 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | % of turnover | -1.8 | -4.2 | -19.3 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | One-off items, EUR million | 0.0 | 0.0 | -27.4 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Operating result, excluding one-off | -0.9 | -2.0 | -10.5 | | items, EUR million | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Investments | 3.3 | 4.0 | 15.3 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Net assets | 94.1 | 122.0 | 85.5 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Food Division's operating result in January-March totalled EUR -0.9 million (EUR -2.0 million). It improved thanks to enhanced processes and improved cost-effectiveness. Particular attention has been paid to sales and marketing inputs. Profitability suffered in the report period from Raisio not being able to fully transfer the steep increase in raw material prices to Finnish consumer prices. The goal of the ongoing product pruning and centralisation measures is to clearly improve product and customer profitability. In Russia, Raisio initiated direct deliveries to key chains, which represent the growing, modern retail trade. The margarine market is expected to remain challenging. The flake market is predicted to grow but to slow down towards the end of the year. The agency sales of yoghurts made by Raisio's associate, Obory, ended in Poland, and Raisio will now focus on the sales of its own products. As a result of market changes, the Polish margarine market will be characterised by stiff competition also in the future. The sales and marketing costs incurred in the early part of the year weakened profitability. Feed & Malt The Feed & Malt Division's turnover in January-March increased by 6.0% to EUR 40.9 million (EUR 38.6 million). This was due to the good development seen in the malt business. No significant changes took place in the overall feed markets or to Raisio's market position. The export of fish feed still looks good in Russia. Key figures for the Feed & Malt Division -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 1-3/2007 | 1-3/2006 | 2006 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Turnover, EUR million | 40.9 | 38.6 | 186.5 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Feeds | 35.1 | 36.1 | 165.3 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Malt | 5.7 | 2.3 | 20.0 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Other | 0.2 | 0.3 | 1.7 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Internal sales | -0.1 | -0.1 | -0.5 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Operating result, EUR million | 0.6 | 0.5 | 6.3 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | % of turnover | 1.5 | 1.4 | 3.4 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | One-off items, EUR million | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.7 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Operating result, excluding one-off | 0.6 | 0.5 | 5.6 | | items, EUR million | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Investments | 2.0 | 0.9 | 5.5 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Net assets | 79.9 | 55.7 | 65.3 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Feed & Malt Division's operating result in January-March was EUR 0.6 million (EUR 0.5 million). The steep increase in raw material prices could not be fully transferred to the prices of end products, which weakened the profitability of the feed business. The operating result of malt developed positively. This resulted from the significant increase in malt prices and from the shortage of malt barley throughout the EU following last year's poor crop. Changes in the operating environment of feeds affected the market situation, especially distribution. To improve its services, Raisio now offers direct invoicing for feed mixes from farms in addition to the traditional invoicing methods. The objective is to use the most cost-effective method to ensure competitiveness. In the new crop season, Raisio offers its contract farmers the option to tie up to half of the farming contract amount to a fixed price. By reforming and enhancing operations, the company wants to ensure both the industry's and the farmers' competitiveness in open markets. The goal of Raisio's new fixed-price system is to improve the predictability of operations. In Raisio's malt business, the market situation and rate of production capacity utilisation look good. The overall feed market is expected to resemble that of last year. Ingredients The Ingredients Division's first-quarter turnover was EUR 12.5 million (EUR 13.2 million) and operating result totalled EUR 2.5 million (EUR 1.8 million). Most importantly, operating result was back to the level of 20 per cent of turnover. The operating result improved thanks to enhanced production boosted by investments, as well as to improved cost-effectiveness and the extension of the economic useful life of the US plant. Key figures for the Ingredients Division -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 1-3/2007 | 1-3/2006 | 2006 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Turnover, EUR million | 12.5 | 13.2 | 49.7 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Operating result, EUR million | 2.5 | 1.8 | 7.8 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | % of turnover | 19.7 | 13.7 | 15.6 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | One-off items, EUR million | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Operating result, excluding one-off | 2.5 | 1.8 | 7.8 | | items, EUR million | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Investments | 2.4 | 1.3 | 4.3 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Net assets | 45.5 | 45.0 | 44.5 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The market for cholesterol-lowering functional foods is developing through the introduction of new market areas and product applications. In geographical terms, the biggest potential is in Asia. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In January 2007, Raisio decided to divest its diagnostics business, which has only minor synergies with the Group's other business areas. The search for a new owner for diagnostics has progressed. The goal is to carry out the divestment in the first half of 2007. In February 2007, Raisio announced its intention to sell the food potato business in Vihanti. In March, the Group signed an agreement to sell the business to Profood Oy. The goal is to finalise the deal by the end of June. The turnover from the discontinued operations in January-March amounted to EUR 5.6 million and operating result to EUR -0.7 million. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development costs in the first quarter amounted to EUR 1.7 million (EUR 2.2 million), or 1.7% (2.4%) of turnover. Research and development in food focuses on developing healthy, value-added products following a consumer-oriented approach, as well as providing tailored products and services to the industry and bakeries. Apart from partnerships, the emphasis in the feed business is on developing feed and feeding technologies and the nutritional quality of livestock products. In ingredients business, R&D promotes the use of stanol ester in new product applications by creating new types of products. PERSONNEL Raisio employed 1,301 people at the end of March (1,330 on 31 December 2006), 35.2% of whom worked outside Finland (34.5% on 31 December 2006). The number includes the 116 employees working in discontinued operations. At the end of March, the Food Division employed 776 people, excluding those employed by the potato business, the Feed & Malt Division 280, the Ingredients Division 73 and service functions 56 people. The headcount decreased, among other things, because of the outsourcing of IT application services.

At the end of the review period, Raisio plc held 4,930,500 of the company's free shares and 41,200 of its restricted shares. The shares were acquired in 2005 and 2006.

A share in Raisio hold by the company itself or its subsidiary does not entitle the holder to participate in the Annual General Meeting. DECISIONS MADE AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Raisio plc's Annual General Meeting approved the financial statements for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2006 and discharged the members of the Supervisory Board and the Board of Directors, as well as the Chief Executive Officers. The Annual General Meeting decided to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.03 per share. The dividend was paid to shareholders on 13 April 2007. The Board's proposal to amend sections 12, 13, 14, 15 and 17 and repeal section 20 of the Articles of Association was approved as presented. According to section 10, approved by the Meeting, the Annual and Extraordinary General Meetings will be held in Raisio or Turku. The main amendment to the Articles of Association transfers the appointment of Board members from the Supervisory Board to the Annual General Meeting, which will make its first election of Board members in spring 2008. The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to decide on the acquisition of a maximum of 3,300,000 free shares and 875,000 restricted shares. The authorisation expires, at the latest, on 30 September 2008. The Annual General Meeting also authorised the Board of Directors to decide on the disposal of company shares. The authorisation encompasses the 4,930,500 free shares and 41,200 restricted shares already held by the company, as well as any shares that the company may acquire based on the new authorisation. The disposal authorisation expires, at the latest, on 30 March 2012. Detailed information regarding the amendments to the Articles of Association, as well as the authorisations, is provided in the stock exchange release dated 12 February 2007. The number of Supervisory Board members was confirmed to be 25. Juhani Enkovaara, Risto Ervelä, Hans Langh, Asko Leinonen, Urban Silén, Tuula Tallskog and Johan Taube were elected as Supervisory Board members starting from the Annual General Meeting, making the appointment and ending at the Annual General Meeting of 2010. Johan Kronberg and Mika Kaarisalo, authorised public accountants, were elected as the company's auditors for the financial year 2008. PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy, authorised public accountants, and Kalle Laaksonen, authorised public accountant, were elected as deputy auditors. EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD Raisio plc's Board of Directors decided on 5 April 2007 to exercise the authorisation to acquire company shares granted to it by the Annual General Meeting. The acquisition will be carried out through public trading arranged by the Helsinki Stock Exchange. Acquisitions were initiated on 10 April 2007 and will continue until further notice. OUTLOOK Raisio's operating result for 2007, excluding one-off-items, is expected to be clearly profitable. Turnover is expected to grow slightly compared to 2006. The operating result of Raisio's Food Division is expected to turn profitable towards the end of the year. The Ingredients and Feed & Malt Divisions are expected to record better operating results than last year. Competition in the food market around the Baltic Sea will continue to be tough, with centralisation continuing in the field. In the feed market, changes in the operating environment and structural reorganisation in the field will maintain stiff competition and introduce more challenges to profitability. Intense competition in functional foods will continue in Europe, and product launches in new market areas will slow down, among other things, by the different procedures of various countries. Increases in product prices corresponding to the price rise in grain raw materials are necessary to reach acceptable profitability. Predictability should improve in the next crop season thanks to the new, fixed-price system applied to the procurement of grain raw material.
