CEO MATTI RIHKO
“Raisio's cumulative result for 2009 is solid and exceeds the target level of
five per cent. As predicted, Raisio's strong brands have further strengthened in
difficult times, and the sales volumes of Benecol products have increased in
many European markets.
The economic downturn has had the clearest impact on the demand for products
offered by the Business to Business Division. The measures taken to enhance
operations have not been able to fully match the decline in demand. Customers'
confidence in Raisio Feed has been restored, however, and the company has
already succeeded to strengthen its position in the Finnish market.
Raisio took 2007 to be the year in which its turnaround had to succeed. We made
quick progress to the next phase, that of profitability improvement, which
continued through 2008 and 2009. Our performance improved rapidly, exceeding the
targets set. The divestment of the margarine business will carry us into a
growth period, which is expected to cover the years 2010 and 2011.”
RESULT FROM THE GROUP'S CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Raisio's performance reporting corresponds to its management model in place
after the divestment of the margarine business. The reportable Divisions are
Brands and Business to Business. The Brands Division includes international
brands (Benecol) and local brands, while the Business to Business Division
encompasses the feed, malt and oil milling businesses.
Raisio's net sales from continuing operations in July-September totalled EUR
95.5 million (Q3/2008: EUR 123.9 million), down 22.9 per cent on the previous
year. The most significant impact on net sales came from the decreased volumes
in all of the Business to Business Division's operations. The July-September net
sales of the Brands Division were EUR 43.5 million (EUR 49.1 million), those of
the Business to Business Division EUR 54.2 million (EUR 78.7 million) and those
of other operations EUR 0.2 million (EUR 0.3 million). In January-September, the
Group's net sales amounted to EUR 284.5 million (EUR 344.7 million), with net
sales from outside Finland accounting for 33.7 per cent (34.4%), or EUR 96.0
million (EUR 118.6 million), of the total.
The Group's EBIT in July-September was EUR 7.3 million and, including one-off
items, EUR 7.0 million (EUR 6.7 million). In the third quarter, Raisio
recognised a one-off item of EUR 250,000 through profit and loss for its
donation to the University of Turku. The third-quarter EBIT of the Brands
Division totalled EUR 7.3 million (EUR 3.6 million) and that of the Business to
Business Division EUR 0.3 million (EUR 4.3 million), while that of other
operations was EUR -0.5 million and, including one-off items, EUR -0.8 million
(EUR -1.0 million).
In January-September, the Group's EBIT was EUR 16.3 million (EUR 16.4 million)
and, including one-off items, EUR 15.3 million (EUR 20.6 million). Raisio has
recognised a total of EUR 1.1 million in one-off items through profit and loss
this year. The figures for the comparison period include a one-off income item
of EUR 4.2 million. Depreciations, allocated to operations in the income
statement, amounted to EUR 3.6 million (EUR 4.2 million) in July-September and
to EUR 11.5 million (EUR 12.3 million) in January-September.
The third-quarter pre-tax result was EUR 7.0 million and, including one-off
items, EUR 6.8 million (EUR 6.7 million). The pre-tax result for
January-September was EUR 15.6 million (EUR 16.3 million) and, including one-off
items, EUR 14.4 million (EUR 20.5 million). The Group's net financial items in
July-September totalled EUR -0.3 million (EUR -0.1 million). The corresponding
figures for January-September were EUR -0.8 million (EUR -0.2 million) and
including one-off items EUR -0.9 million (EUR -0.2 million).
Raisio's post-tax result from continuing operations totalled EUR 5.2 million in
July-September and, including one-off items, EUR 5.0 million (EUR 4.7 million).
The post-tax result in January-September was EUR 11.2 million (EUR 10.9 million)
and, including one-off items, EUR 10.3 million (EUR 15.1 million). Earnings per
share for July-September totalled EUR 0.03 and, including one-off items, EUR
0.03 (EUR 0.03). In January-September, earnings per share were EUR 0.07 (EUR
0.07) and, including one-off items, EUR 0.07 (EUR 0.10).
BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCIAL POSITION
Raisio's balance sheet total at the end of September amounted to EUR 411.4
million (31 December 2008: EUR 364.0 million). The increase mainly resulted from
the company raising its liquidity reserve to some EUR 120 million in the second
quarter. Shareholders' equity totalled EUR 281.2 million (31 December 2008: EUR
279.4 million), while equity per share at the end of September was EUR 1.80 (31
December 2008: EUR 1.79).
Raisio's interest-bearing financial liabilities were EUR 71.1 million at the end
of September (31 December 2008: EUR 19.7 million). Net interest-bearing
financial liabilities were EUR -67.2 million (31 December 2008: EUR -58.2
million). The Group is net debt-free and has EUR 135 million of assets available
for investment prior to the completion of the margarine divestment. The equity
ratio at the end of September totalled 68.4 per cent (31 December 2008: 77.9%)
and net gearing was -23.9 per cent (31 December 2008: -20.8%). Cash flow from
business operations was EUR +21.3 million (EUR +36.3 million) in July-September
and EUR +27.6 million (EUR +26.2 million) in January-September. Working capital
amounted to EUR 82.2 million at the end of the review period (31 December 2008:
EUR 88.9 million), The company has successfully managed its working capital,
which has decreased by approximately EUR 17 million year-over-year.
Raisio's gross investments in July-September were EUR 3.0 million (EUR 2.5
million) and in January-September EUR 7.0 million (EUR 22.9 million), which
corresponds to 2.4 per cent (6.6%) of net sales. The main investment targeted
the feed plant in the town of Raisio. Investments in the comparison period
included the acquisition cost of Melia Ltd's shares, totalling EUR 12.7 million.
BUSINESS REVIEWS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Brands Division
The third-quarter net sales of the Brands Division totalled EUR 43.5 million
(EUR 49.1 million). Benecol net sales remained stable year-over-year, while
sales volumes increased. The sales volumes of consumer products rose in Finland
in July-September. Net sales in Finland decreased due to the declining sales
volumes to HoReCa and industrial customers as a result of the economic downturn.
In January-September, the net sales of the Brands Division totalled EUR 132.1
million (EUR 144.6 million).
The sales volumes of Raisio's main brands - Benecol, Elovena, Sunnuntai and
Carlshamn - have developed well in the company's major market areas: Europe with
Benecol, Poland and Finland with other brands. Sweden, the Baltic countries,
Russia and Ukraine are minor market areas for the Brands Division. Sales of
non-dairy products are growing at an annual rate of nearly 20 per cent in Sweden
and Finland. In Sweden, the market share of non-dairy “soygurts” sold under the
Carlshamn brand has quickly increased to 17 per cent, with sales distribution
exceeding 70 per cent.
Strong growth continued in Benecol products' sales, with Poland, Spain and
Greece recording double-digit growth figures. In Poland, Benecol sales reached
an all-time record in September. Sales growth was also steep in Great Britain,
the biggest market in Europe for cholesterol-lowering functional foods. As for
the new and growing Asian markets, it will still take time to create awareness
for the Benecol brand and products. The economic downturn has not affected the
demand for Benecol products.
Benecol products are sold in thirty countries on five continents. The use of
plant stanol ester as a means to lower blood cholesterol level is supported by
nearly 60 published clinical studies and 14 years of its safe use as a
foodstuff. Benecol is a global trademark owned by Raisio, and plant stanol ester
is an ingredient patented worldwide by Raisio.

The third-quarter EBIT of the Brands Division totalled EUR 7.3 million (EUR 3.6
million), or 16.8 per cent (7.3%) of net sales. It was boosted year-over-year by
the volume growth in Benecol products, as well as the effective management of
R&D expenses and sales and marketing expenses. The sales volumes of major local
brands rose in the main market, Finland, and the service level reached nearly
100 per cent. In January-September, the EBIT of the Brands Division totalled EUR
17.7 million (EUR 9.0 million).
Business to Business Division
The third-quarter net sales of the Business to Business Division totalled EUR
54.2 million (EUR 78.7 million). The decrease in net sales came from the
decrease in raw material prices being transferred to product prices and from the
decline in volumes in all businesses. In January-September, the net sales of the
Business to Business Division were EUR 159.3 million (EUR 211.8 million), down
24.8 per cent on the previous year.
The volume of cattle feeds increased year-over-year, one contributing factor
being the confidence that customers have shown in the Ylivieska plant as a local
feed supplier. The demand for fish feed remained at a normal level, and Russian
exports were stable. The volumes of pig and chicken feeds were down as a result
of the overall market decreasing. The global decline in beer consumption has led
to a reduction in the net sales and price of malt. Especially exports to Russia
have decreased from the exceptionally good comparison period. The economic
downturn affected the global demand for vegetable oil, and Raisio adjusted its
operations accordingly.
Raisio Feed and Valio have agreed to invest in joint research aimed at finding
ways to reduce methane production in grass-based feeding. In the case of dairy
cows, methane accounts for 6-7 per cent of the overall energy of a feed dose.
The research project will be carried out as a dissertation. The goal is to
produce reliable information on the causes of methane production and to reduce
methane emissions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The third-quarter EBIT of the Business to Business Division totalled EUR 0.3
million (EUR 4.3 million), or 0.6 per cent (5.5%) of net sales. It was down on
the comparison period due to lower overall volumes in all operations, weaker
crushing margins in the oil milling business and reduced unit margins in the
malt business. As for vegetable oils, the demand for biodiesel appears slightly
to be picking up. In January-September, the EBIT of the Business to Business
Division was EUR 1.0 million (EUR 10.3 million).
The company's flexible pricing system, fast reactions and operational
adjustments have kept the Business to Business Division's EBIT profitable in
every quarter of this exceptionally difficult year. Having restored the
confidence of livestock producers, Raisio has succeeded in improving its
position in the Finnish feed market. The recovery of the feed business is linked
to the recovery of markets on the whole and to the profitability of livestock
production.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Raisio's research and development is an important part of the chain that
introduces new products based on consumer and customer needs on the market.
Research and development input amounted to EUR 1.3 million (EUR 1.2 million) in
the third quarter, and to EUR 4.3 million (EUR 4.2 million) in
January-September, representing 1.5 per cent (1.2%) of net sales.
MANAGEMENT AND PERSONNEL
Raisio's continuing operations employed 621 people at the end of September (31
December 2008: 641 people), with 14.8 per cent (31 December 2008: 14.7%) of the
staff employed outside Finland. The Brands Division had 298, the Business to
Business Division 261 and the service functions 62 employees.
EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD
Divestment of the margarine business completed
The divestment of Raisio's margarine business to Bunge was completed on 16
October 2009. The acquisition price was EUR 80 million. The transaction was
conditional on the approval of the Polish competition authorities, which was
granted on 8 October 2009.
The transaction encompassed the margarine business in Finland and Poland. Raisio
will continue to sell margarine as a distributor of Bunge in Finland, Sweden and
Estonia. Bunge will become a new and significant Benecol partner that Raisio can
work with to develop the Benecol brand and functional foods. The Benecol brand
and patents will remain in Raisio's ownership.
Benecol products launched in Colombia
Raisio's new Colombian partner, Cooperativa Colanta Limitada (Colanta), launched
a line of Benecol® products on the Colombian market under the Colanta Benecol
brand on 21 October 2009. Products sold under the Colanta Benecol brand include
yoghurt, cream cheese, fresh cheese and milk, and they will be prominently
displayed by grocery retailers around the country. Colanta is one of Colombia's
biggest dairy producers, its net sales totalling some EUR 500 million.
The launch of Benecol products in Colombia is a major breakthrough in South
America and an indication of Raisio's ability to expand into new markets with
significant local partners. South America is an attractive market area for
Benecol products, because the demand for cholesterol-lowering foods is on the
rise. Chile, Argentina and Ecuador are other South American countries where
Benecol products are currently available.
The EU Commission approves the health claim of Benecol foods containing plant
stanol ester
The first health claims associated with the reduction of risk of disease
pursuant to Article 14 were published in the Official Journal of the European
Union on 22 October 2009. Plant stanol ester, the cholesterol-lowering
ingredient in Benecol® products, is among the first ingredients to obtain a
regulatory approval for the use of a disease risk reduction health claim in
Europe. The following health claim is permitted in the marketing of Benecol
foods containing plant stanol ester: “Plant stanol ester has been shown to
lower/reduce blood cholesterol. High cholesterol is a risk factor in the
development of coronary heart disease.”
The Nutrition and Health Claim Regulation (EC No 1924/2006) will revolutionise
the use of health claims in Europe. Based on the regulation, only approved
health claims can be used to market foods. For consumers, the introduction of
approved health claims means that it will be easier to select food products with
scientifically proven and validated effect. The approval strengthens the role of
plant stanol ester as a cholesterol-lowering food ingredient. It also underlines
that the risk of coronary heart disease can indeed be reduced through diet.

Annual General Meeting was published on 26 March 2009.
RISKS AND SOURCES OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE NEAR FUTURE
Raisio's strategic path has taken the company from turnaround to profitability
and from profitability to growth. The divestment of the margarine business will
carry Raisio into a period of growth, which may lead to considerable changes in
the company's structure and business in 2010 and 2011.
With raw material prices continuing to fluctuate, volatility control will be
essential to Raisio's profitability in the future. The main risks in the near
future are related to any possible changes caused by the general economic
development in the Group's market areas. This particularly concerns the Business
to Business Division's operations.
The taxation on the sales profit from the divestment of Raisio's chemicals
business in 2004, totalling EUR 220 million, continues to be handled in court.
Since the divestment, Raisio has considered the sales profit to be free of tax
and has handled it accordingly in its accounting. Expert statements obtained by
Raisio support this stance. Most recently, the Helsinki Administrative Court
made a resolution, in August 2008, stating that the sales profit was free of
tax. However, the Tax Administration's Tax Recipients' Legal Services Unit filed
for leave to appeal and lodged an appeal with the Supreme Administrative Court
in October 2008.
Risks related to Raisio's operations are described in more detail in the 2008
financial statements and on the Group's website under Corporate Governance.
Risks for the near future are also discussed in the division reviews of this
interim report.
OUTLOOK
Raisio's original estimate of the Group's outlook for 2009 remains unchanged and
has been largely accurate.
"The volatility in quarterly results and between divisions will become more
pronounced, but it will balance out at Group-level over the year. Even if food
consumption and demand remain steady, the unpredictable outcome of a drawn-out
economic crisis may reduce volumes in the short run, either directly or
indirectly, through the food chain infrastructure. Nevertheless, any negative
impact on results can be neutralised in a few months, and the reallocation of
capacity will open up new opportunities for Raisio in the long term.
Raisio's main target in 2009 is to maintain its stabilised position under
difficult circumstances. Raisio's volumes are expected to develop moderately in
annual terms. The trend in net sales will depend on the price level of the 2009
crop. The company's profitability will also develop moderately, and EBIT is
predicted to account for 4-5 per cent of net sales. Cash flow from operations is
expected to be clearly positive, but to fall short of the 2008 figures."

NOTES TO THE INTERIM REPORT
This interim report has been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting according to the same accounting principles used in
financial statements 2008. The Group adopted the following IFRSs or amendments
to them on 1 January 2009:
Revised IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements: Amendments have been made
to the presentation of the income statement and the statement of changes in
equity.
IFRS 8, Operating Segments, states that segment information must be based on
internal reporting submitted to management and on the principles followed in
reporting. Since Raisio's segment information is already based on internal
reports submitted to management, the new standard has not caused any changes to
segment reporting.
IAS 23, Borrowing Costs: The amended standard requires that the acquisition cost
of an asset that meets the conditions shall include borrowing costs incurred
from the acquisition, construction or production of the asset in question.
The adopted standards have not affected the Group's results.
When preparing the financial statements, management must make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities, income and
expenses. Actual figures may differ from these estimates.
The interim review is shown in EUR millions.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
Raisio has modified its segment reporting in conjunction with its Q2 2009
reporting to match its management model in place after the divestment of the
margarine business. The new reportable segments are Brands and Business to
Business. The Brands segment includes Benecol and local brands, and the reported
figures are those of the Benecol business and of the Northern and Eastern
European operations, which belonged to the former Food Division. The Business to
Business segment corresponds to the former Feed & Malt segment, and includes the
feed, malt and oil milling businesses.
The figures for Raisio Polska Foods Sp, formerly part of the Food Division, are
reported under discontinued operations. An agreement on the divestment of the
margarine business was signed with Bunge in May. The deal was concluded on 16
October 2009.
The figures for previous periods presented in this interim report have been
adjusted accordingly.
