*) The previous year’s net sales in Finland have been adjusted for comparability with the year 2013. Net sales reported in the financial statements bulletin for 2012 amounted to 312.2 million euro.
**) A new depreciation policy has been applied to the income statement for 2013. Diminished depreciation affected the operating profit by approximately 10.1 million euro.
Lasse Aho, Managing Director of Olvi plc, states the following in connection with the disclosure of the accounts:
“Olvi Group’s business has been successful and has developed favourably during 2013. Our financial performance was particularly good in Belarus, Estonia and Finland.”
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES STARTING FROM 1 JANUARY 2013
As of the beginning of 2013, the parent company Olvi plc has accounted for marketing subsidies payable to customers as annual discounts under adjustments to sales. The previous year’s net sales figures in these financial statements have been adjusted for comparability with the year 2013. These marketing subsidies were previously recognised under other operating expenses. The change did not affect the parent company’s or the Group’s operating profit. After the change, Olvi Group companies have a uniform policy of accounting for marketing subsidies.
As of the beginning of the year, Olvi Group’s depreciation periods for buildings, production machinery and equipment, as well as storage and fermentation tanks, have been extended to better correspond to their actual economic life and the depreciation policies common in the industry. The new depreciation period for buildings is 30 years, and for production machinery and equipment 15 years. The depreciation period for tanks is 20 years. Due to the change, consolidated depreciation in the period under review declined by 10.1 million euro compared to previous depreciation practice.

PARENT COMPANY OLVI PLC (Olvi)
January to December 2013
According to statistics by the Federation of the Brewing and Soft Drinks Industry, the Finnish beverage market in January-December improved by an approximate total of 4 million litres or 0.5 percent compared to the previous year. The sales of alcoholic products was on a par with the previous year but the sales of non-alcoholic beverages improved by 1.2 percent. Among the alcoholic product groups, the only improvement was seen in beers, 0.9 percent. The sales of ciders declined by 1.6 percent and the sales of long drinks by as much as 6.4 percent. In non-alcoholic products, a clear improvement was made in mineral waters by 5.5 percent but the sales of soft drinks increased only slightly by 0.4 percent. (Federation of the Brewing and Soft Drinks Industry, December 2013).
Olvi’s sales in January-December amounted to 159.9 (148.8) million litres. Mostly thanks to increased exports and tax-free sales, the volume improved by 11.1 million litres or 7.5 percent. Among alcoholic products, only the sales of beers increased by a few percent but the sales of ciders and long drinks declined. Olvi retains its position as the market leader in retail sales of long drinks. In non-alcoholic beverages, the sales of soft drinks improved by almost ten percent. For the same reason, the sales of mineral waters improved but the sales of juice drinks declined clearly on the previous year.
According to statistics by the Federation of the Brewing and Soft Drinks Industry for January-December 2013, Olvi’s market share in alcoholic beverages (beers, ciders and long drinks) was on a par with the previous year at 24 percent. In mineral waters, Olvi had a market share of 23 (24), and in soft drinks 5 (5) percent. The total market share in January-December was on a par with the previous year at 18 (18) percent, showing a slight improvement.
In the period under review, Olvi’s exports and tax-free sales increased clearly to 19.0 (6.8) million litres, an increase of 12.2 million litres. Olvi’s export sales were particularly based on exports of soft drinks to nearby regions. Exports and tax-free sales represented 11.9 (4.6) percent of total sales.
The parent company’s net sales in 2013 totalled 123.6 (113.6)*) million euro. Particularly thanks to good development of exports, net sales increased by 10.0 million euro or 8.8 percent.
Olvi’s operating profit stood at 12.8**) (9.1) million euro, which was 10.4 (8.0)*) percent of net sales. The operating profit improved by 3.7 million euro or 41.7 percent.
3.6 million euro of the operating profit improvement was attributable to the extended depreciation periods. Comparable operating profit improved by 1.5 percent on the previous year. Olvi’s earnings for January-December include a total of 2.3 million euro attributable to performance bonuses to employees, a profit-sharing contribution to the personnel fund, as well as write-downs on inventories (including 0.33-litre glass beer bottles) which were not included in last year’s earnings.
October to December 2013
The parent company’s sales in the fourth quarter amounted to 35.9 (34.8) million litres. The sales volume increased by 1.1 million litres or 3.1 percent mainly thanks to purchases made into retailer stocks due to the excise tax hikes effective in the beginning of January 2014. Net sales amounted to 26.5 (27.6)*) million euro. Net sales declined by 1.1 million euro or 3.9 percent. In relation to other quarters, the fourth quarter was the main season for sales promotions which lowered the average price of net sales compared to the previous quarters.
Operating profit for October-December was on a par with the previous year at 1.9 **) (1.9) million euro, or 7.0 (6.9)*) percent of net sales.
AS A. LE COQ (A. Le Coq)

The sales of mineral waters increased by 15 percent and ciders by 6 percent. The sales of beers declined by five percent, and the sales of soft drinks and juices by four percent. Sales of long drinks were on a par with the previous year. (Nielsen, October-November 2013).
A. Le Coq retained its strong position in the Estonian beverage market. The company’s domestic sales improved by 2.8 million litres or 2.5 percent in spite of the decline in the overall Estonian market.
The company’s total sales in 2013 amounted to 129.3 (134.0) million litres. Sales declined by 4.7 million litres or 3.5 percent. The sales decline is due to the fact that intra-Group sales diminished by 8.1 million litres.
The greatest growth was seen in the sales of the company’s mineral waters, which increased by 28 percent. The sales of beers and long drinks also increased by a few percent. Sales of ciders were on a par with the previous year. The sales of soft drinks (including kvass) and juices declined.
The company is the clear market leader in long drinks and juices. In beers, the company is in a tight struggle for the number one position, and in ciders and soft drinks it is the number two player. The company has increased its market share in mineral waters and is equal in strength among the top three. (Nielsen, October-November 2013).
The company’s exports and tax-free sales increased by 10.5 percent to 5.6 (5.1) million litres. Exports and tax-free sales represented 4.3 (3.8) percent of total sales.

Operating profit stood at 16.0 (13.0) million euro, which was 19.7 (16.3) percent of net sales. 1.7 million euro of the operating profit improvement was attributable to the extended depreciation periods.

In a competition arranged by the Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Estonian Employers’ Confederation, AS A. Le Coq was on 8 October 2013 awarded the most competitive food industry company in Estonia. The purpose of the competition is to identify the most competitive companies in Estonia, to provide them with an opportunity of comparison with similar companies, and to assess their success, achievements and sustainability.
October to December 2013
A. Le Coq’s sales in the fourth quarter declined by 1.6 million litres or 5.5 percent to 26.9 (28.5) million litres due to diminished intra-Group manufacturing. In spite of the sales decline, net sales were almost on a par with the previous year at 16.7 (16.9) million euro.

The only growth was seen in the sales of long drinks, four percent. The total market in beers declined by seven percent, in ciders as much as 21, and in kvass more than five percent.
Volfas Engelman’s sales improved well in the fourth quarter. Total sales in 2013 amounted to 69.6 (71.7) million litres. Sales declined by 2.1 million litres or 2.9 percent. 75 percent of the sales decline is attributable to diminished intra-Group sales. Domestic sales declined by 1.3 percent.

Correspondingly, the sales of ciders declined by almost 14 percent. The sales of the company’s beers declined by approximately four percent.

In the largest product group, beers, the company is the number three player and has succeeded in clearly increasing its market share on the previous year. The company’s market share in beers was 19 (14) percent (Nielsen, October-November 2013). The company is the clear market leader in long drinks and kvass. In ciders it belongs to the top two players. (Nielsen, October-December 2013).

BUSINESS RISKS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT
Risk management is a part of Olvi Group’s everyday management and operations. It increases corporate security and contributes to the achievement of operational targets. The objective 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. In addition to the company itself, risk management benefits its personnel, customers, shareholders and other related groups.
The objective of risk management is to ensure the realisation of the company’s strategy and secure the continuity of business. Olvi Group identifies, assesses, manages and monitors its crucial risks regularly. With regard to identified risks, the effects, scope and probability of realisation are assessed together with the means of eliminating or reducing the risk. Furthermore, risk management aims to identify and utilise any business opportunities that may arise.
Strategic and operational 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 operating 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.
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.
Financing risks
Olvi Group operates internationally, and its business involves risks arising from exchange rate fluctuations. Foreign exchange risks arise from the cash flows of purchases and sales in foreign currency, as well as investments in foreign subsidiaries and the conversion of their balance sheet items into euro. Foreign exchange risk is reduced by the fact that most of the Group’s product sales and raw material purchases are denominated in euro.
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.
There have not been any significant changes in Olvi Group’s business risks. A more detailed description of the risks is provided in the Board of Directors’ report and the notes to the financial statements. Financing risks are also described in more detail in the Investors section of the corporate Web site.
BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN THE NEAR TERM
The economic situation has turned slightly better in Europe. However, the development of the beverage markets in Olvi Group’s operating area still seems challenging. Total consumption in the local markets is still expected to decline slightly, with consumption shifting more and more to less expensive products. An increase in the unemployment rate and the resulting decline in consumer purchasing power may also have a negative effect on the demand for the company’s products.
The most substantial factor hampering the predictability of Olvi Group’s business still relates to Belarus and its economic and political outlook for the next few years.
The IAS 29 standard “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” will be applied in Belarus at least until the end of 2014.
NEAR-TERM OUTLOOK
The full-year sales volumes and net sales in 2014 are expected to grow slightly in the current accounting period. The operating profit for 2014 is expected to be on a par with the year 2013.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ PROPOSAL FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROFIT
The parent company Olvi plc had 50.6 (45.1) million euro of distributable funds on 31 December 2013, of which profit for the period accounted for 15.8 (12.6) million euro.

It is proposed that the dividend be paid on 30 April 2014.
No dividend shall be paid on treasury shares.
2) 37.1 million euro shall be retained in the parent company’s non-restricted equity.

OLVI GROUP TABLE 5
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accounting policies used for the financial statements 2013 are the same as those used for the annual financial statements 2012, with the following changes implemented as of 1 January 2013:
1) As of the beginning of 2013, marketing subsidies payable to customers on the basis of litres sold have been accounted for as annual discounts under adjustments to sales. These marketing subsidies were previously recognised under other operating expenses. Due to the change, the consolidated net sales and other operating expenses for the previous year have declined by the amount of the marketing subsidies, 7.3 million euro. The change concerned the parent company Olvi.
2) As of the beginning of 2013, Olvi Group’s depreciation periods for buildings, production machinery and equipment, as well as storage and fermentation tanks, have been extended to better correspond to their actual economic life. The depreciation period for buildings was extended from 20 to 30 years and the depreciation period for production machinery and equipment from 8 years to 15 years. The depreciation period for tanks was extended from 8 years to 20 years. Due to the change, depreciation declined by 10.1 million euro in 2013.
The financial statements for 1 January to 31 December 2013 have been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), observing the IAS and IFRS standards as well as the official SIC and IFRIC interpretations valid on 31 December 2013.
The Group has adopted the following new or revised standards and interpretations in 2013:
- Amendment to IAS 12 “Income Taxes” concerning deferred taxes
- Amendment to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” concerning other comprehensive income items
- Amendment to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”
- Amendment to IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” concerning the offset of assets and liabilities
- IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”
The above changes in standards and their interpretations have not had any substantial effect on the income statement, balance sheet or notes.
The information in the financial statements bulletin is presented in thousands of euros (EUR 1000). For the sake of presentation, individual figures and totals have been rounded to full thousands, which causes rounding differences in additions. The ratios are calculated from exact amounts in euros.
