CEO MATTI RIHKO
“The first half of 2009 went according to plans, and the Group continued to
streamline its structure. The divestment of the margarine business gave Raisio a
clearer direction, putting the focus on grain-based products. Thanks to good
profitability, robust cash reserves and a high equity ratio, Raisio has a good
position to play an active role in the consolidation process of the food
industry if there opens up interesting opportunities for the company's
shareholders.
The Brands Division did well in April-June. The demand for economic, ecological
and healthy consumer products, sold under Raisio's strong and safe brands,
increased. The volume of Benecol products grew despite the global recession,
thanks to a systematically and successfully carried out strategy and a strong
brand. Raisio will make moderate increases in brand construction inputs in its
main market areas, since strong brands tend to strengthen in difficult times.
The period was a difficult one for the Business to Business Division. Its
volumes and profitability suffered from a salmonella case and from the economic
crisis; but despite difficulties the division managed to keep its EBIT positive.
The feed business has done good work amid the salmonella worries caused by
imported feed raw materials, and confidence in Raisio has been restored. The
publicity surrounding the company after the spring salmonella case subsided in
June, when a new case, which had nothing to do with Raisio, occurred in Northern
Finland.”
CHANGES IN REPORTING
From the second quarter onwards, Raisio's reporting will correspond to its
management model after the divestment of the margarine business. The new
reportable Divisions are Brands and Business to Business. The Brands Division
includes Benecol and local brands, while the Business to Business Division
encompasses the feed, malt and oil milling businesses.
The result of the Polish company, which will be owned by Bunge in conjunction
with the divestment of the margarine business, will be reported under
discontinued operations. The result of the Finnish margarine business will be
reported under continuing operations as a part of the Brands Division's result,
since Raisio will continue to sell margarines in Finland, Sweden and Estonia as
a partner of Bunge. On-balance-sheet, non-current assets held for sale also
include the Russian production facility.
RESULT FROM THE GROUP'S CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Raisio's net sales from continuing operations in April-June totalled EUR 97.8
million (Q2/2008: EUR 111.6 million), down 12.3 per cent on the previous year.
Net sales declined partially because of the decrease in the feed, vegetable oil
and malt volumes, and partially because the drop in raw material prices was
transferred to product prices. The April-June net sales of the Brands Division
were EUR 44.2 million (EUR 46.7 million) and those of the Business to Business
Division EUR 55.8 million (EUR 68.9 million). The Group's net sales in
January-June totalled EUR 189.0 million (EUR 220.8 million), with net sales from
outside Finland accounting for 33.1 per cent (32.4%), or EUR 62.6 million (EUR
71.6 million).
Raisio's EBIT in April-June amounted to EUR 4.5 million and, including one-off
items, to EUR 3.7 million (EUR 5.9 million). In the second quarter, Raisio
recognised a one-off expense of EUR 0.8 million through profit and loss and a
one-off expense of EUR 0.1 million in financial items for an acquisition project
which has ceased and which costs have all been recognised as expenses. The
second-quarter EBIT of the Brands Division totalled EUR 4.6 million (EUR 2.1
million) and that of the Business to Business Division EUR 0.6 million (EUR 4.2
million). The Group's EBIT in January-June was EUR 9.0 million (EUR 9.7 million)
and, including one-off items, EUR 8.2 million (EUR 13.9 million). The first
quarter of the comparison period included a one-off income item of EUR 4.2
million. Depreciations, allocated to operations in the income statement,
amounted to EUR 3.8 million (EUR 4.1 million) in April-June and to EUR 7.9
million (EUR 8.1 million) in January-June.
The second-quarter pre-tax result was EUR 4.3 million and, including one-off
items, EUR 3.4 million (EUR 5.8 million). The pre-tax result for January-June
was EUR 8.5 million (EUR 9.6 million) and, including one-off items, EUR 7.7
million (EUR 13.8 million). The Group's net financial items in April-June
totalled EUR -0.2 million and, including one-off items, EUR -0.3 million (EUR
‑0.1 million). The corresponding figures for the first half of the year were EUR
‑0.5 million and including one-off items EUR -0.6 million (EUR -0.1 million).
Raisio's post-tax result from continuing operations totalled EUR 3.1 million in
April-June and, including one-off items, EUR 2.5 million (EUR 3.5 million). The
post-tax result in January-June was EUR 6.0 million (EUR 6.2 million) and,
including one-off items, EUR 5.3 million (EUR 10.4 million). Earnings per share
for April-June totalled EUR 0.02 and, including one-off items, EUR 0.02 (EUR
0.02). In January-June, earnings per share were EUR 0.04 (EUR 0.04) and,
including one-off items, EUR 0.03 (EUR 0.07).
BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCIAL POSITION
Raisio's balance sheet total at the end of June amounted to EUR 402.7 million
(31 December 2008: EUR 364.0 million). The increase resulted from the company
raising its liquidity reserve to some EUR 120 million. Shareholders' equity
totalled EUR 274.2 million (31 December 2008: EUR 279.4 million), while equity
per share at the end of June was EUR 1.76 (31 December 2008: EUR 1.76).
Raisio's interest-bearing financial debt was EUR 70.6 million at the end of June
(31 December 2008: EUR 19.7 million). Net interest-bearing financial debt was
EUR -49.1 million (31 December 2008: EUR -58.2 million). The equity ratio at the
end of June totalled 68.6% (31 December 2008: 77.9%) and net gearing ratio was
-17.9% (31 December 2008: -20.8%). Cash flow from operations amounted to EUR
+1.0 million (EUR +0.1 million) in April-June and to EUR +6.4 million (EUR -10.1
million) in January-June. Working capital amounted to EUR 95.4 million at the
end of the review period (31 December 2008: EUR 88.9 million), rising from the
end of the year due to seasonal volatility. The company has successfully managed
its working capital, which has decreased by approximately EUR 30 million
year-over-year.
Raisio's gross investments in April-June were EUR 2.7 million (EUR 3.7 million)
and in January-June EUR 3.9 million (EUR 20.4 million), which corresponds to 2.1
per cent (9.2%) of net sales. The main investment targeted the Raisio feed
plant. Investments in the first half of the previous year included the
acquisition cost of Melia Ltd's shares from Lantmännen, which totalled EUR 12.7
million.
BUSINESS REVIEWS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Brands Division
In compliance with Raisio's new reporting model, the figures for the Benecol
business and for the Northern and Eastern European operations, which belonged to
the former Food Division, are now reported under the Brands Division.
The second-quarter net sales of the Brands Division totalled EUR 44.2 million
(EUR 46.7 million), down 5.5 per cent on the previous year. The demand for
Raisio's main brands continued strong in the second quarter, but net sales
decreased as a result of declining sales volumes to Finnish bakery and
industrial customers and to the HoReCa sector. Despite the recession, Benecol
net sales and volumes increased, and profitability remained good. In
January-June, the net sales of the Brands Division totalled EUR 88.6 million
(EUR 95.5 million).
Raisio's new products have been well received by customers and consumers. The
demand for non-dairy products is especially increasing. Non-dairy products sold
under the Carlshamn brand in Sweden have quickly achieved a market share of more
than five per cent. The sales of basic Elovena products reached all-time record
figures. As expected, strong and safe brands do well in difficult times. The
environmental labels added to Elovena products have received very positive
feedback in both Finland and abroad.
Strong growth continued in Benecol product sales. In Great Britain and Poland,
the products boosted their market leadership in cholesterol-lowering functional
foods. Benecol product sales also increased in Belgium, Spain and Greece. In
Asia, Benecol products were launched only recently, and it will take some time
to create a market for the products and to boost brand awareness.
The second-quarter EBIT of the Brands Division totalled EUR 4.6 million (EUR 2.1
million), up 114.7 per cent on the previous year. In January-June, the EBIT of
the Brands Division totalled EUR 10.4 million (EUR 5.4 million).

Business to Business Division
In the new reporting model, the Business to Business Division corresponds to the
former Feed & Malt Division and encompasses the feed, malt and oil milling
businesses.
The second-quarter net sales of the Business to Business Division totalled EUR
55.8 million (EUR 68.9 million), down 19.0 per cent on the previous year. The
decrease in net sales came from the decline in volumes in all businesses and
from the drop in raw material prices being transferred to product prices.
The volume of cattle feeds increased year-over-year, while that of pig and
broiler feeds was down as a result of the overall market decreasing. The drop in
raw material prices was transferred in full to feed prices in the spring, which
has benefited the profitability of farms to some extent. The decrease has been
particularly notable in milk producer prices. As for broiler feeds, volumes were
also affected by the new feed plant coming online.
As a result of the salmonella case earlier in the spring, Raisio lost poultry
and pig farm customers in the second quarter. The case also restricted the
production of fish and export feeds for stocks right before the start of the
season. The demand for vegetable oil continued to be low in Europe. The global
recession led to lower beer consumption and a drop in the price of malt, as well
as a decline in the net sales from the malt business. The consolidation of
breweries also has an impact on the market situation. The volume of businesses
in the Business to Business Division dropped some 10 per cent year-over-year.
In the spring, Raisio introduced the world's first phytase feed for big trout
that considerably reduces the phosphorus load from fish feeds. The feed has
received very positive feedback. Studies show that the use of the new phytase
feed reduces the phosphorus load from each additional kilogram of trout growth
by 26 per cent and thus contributes to reducing the environmental load on
waterways.
In January-June, the net sales of the Business to Business Division totalled EUR
105.1 million (EUR 133.2 million). The market situation in feeds is expected to
return to normal in the second half of the year.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Business to Business Division's EBIT in April-June totalled EUR 0.6 million
(EUR 4.2 million). The EBIT was considerably weakened by the decrease in poultry
and pig feed volumes, the continued slack demand for vegetable oil and the extra
ordinary cost caused by the salmonella case. The damages caused by salmonella to
livestock producers will be compensated in compliance with the Feed Act by the
company's liability and product liability insurance. To reduce its operational
losses, Raisio cut back on its vegetable oil production and temporarily laid off
plant personnel.
In January-June, the EBIT of the Business to Business Division totalled EUR 0.6
million (EUR 5.9 million). Early in the year, the EBIT suffered from the drop in
volumes after an exceptionally good year in 2008 and from the weaker
profitability of vegetable oil. After a very difficult beginning on the year, it
is pleasing to note that the flexible pricing system and the company's fast
reactions have kept the EBIT of the Business to Business Division positive and
that the customers' confidence in Raisio as a feed supplier has been restored.
DIVESTMENT OF THE MARGARINE BUSINESS
On 14 May 2009, Raisio and Bunge signed an agreement on the sale of Raisio's
margarine business to Bunge. The value of the transaction is EUR 80 million. The
buyer will pay the acquisition price in cash, and the divestment is expected to
result in a sales profit of some EUR 42 million after tax and expenses.
The transaction will make Bunge a new and significant Benecol partner for
Raisio. The Benecol brand and patents will remain in Raisio's ownership. Raisio
will continue to sell margarine as a partner of Bunge in Finland, Sweden and
Estonia. Raisio's market position and net sales will remain the same in these
countries. In Poland, the deal targets Raisio Polska Foods Sp. z.o.o.
The deal requires the approval of Polish competition authorities. The duration
of authority processing will determine the timing of the transaction, which is
currently expected to take place in the third quarter.
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 1.6 million (EUR 1.4 million) in
the second quarter, and to EUR 3.0 million (EUR 2.9 million) in the first half,
representing 1.6 per cent (1.3%) of net sales.
Further evidence of the effectiveness and safety of Benecol
Two new clinical studies show that even a high daily intake of the plant stanols
from Benecol products is safe and the cholesterol lowering effect is boosted.
Studies, conducted in Finland and Netherlands, examined the impact of daily
plant stanol doses as high as 9 grams as the current recommended daily dose is 2
grams of plant stanols (as plant stanol ester). Compared to a daily dose of 2-3
grams a larger dose of plant stanol is still just as safe. Only Benecol products
contain plant stanol ester.
MANAGEMENT AND PERSONNEL
Raisio's continuing operations employed 664 people at the end of June (31
December 2008: 641 people), with 13.9 per cent (31 December 2008: 14.7%) of the
staff employed outside Finland. The Brands Division had 319, the Business to
Business Division 273 and the service functions 72 employees. The employees who
transferred to Bunge following the divestment of the margarine business are not
included in the reported figures. The figures for the review period also include
summer workers.
Raisio plc's Supervisory Board elected Michael Hornborg, MA (Agriculture and
Forestry) and farmer, as its new Chairman in May.
Vesa Kurula, Vice President, Operations, and member of Raisio's management team,
will leave the company at the end of September 2009.
SHARES AND SHAREHOLDERS
The number of Raisio plc's free shares that were traded on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki
in January-June totalled 16.5 million (14.6 million). The value of trading was
EUR 28.1 million (EUR 22.9 million), and the average price was EUR 1.71 (EUR
1.57). The closing price on 30 June 2009 was EUR 1.95.
A total of 0.5 million restricted shares (0.4 million) were traded in
January-June. The value of trading was EUR 0.95 million (EUR 0.6 million), and
the average price was EUR 1.74 (EUR 1.69). The closing price on 30 June 2009 was
EUR 1.93.
On 30 June 2009, Raisio plc had a total of 37,037 registered shareholders
(37,269 shareholders on 31 December 2008). Foreign ownership of the entire share
capital was 14.7 per cent (14.8% on 31 December 2008).
Raisio's market capitalisation at the end of June amounted to EUR 321.4 million
(EUR 248.6 million on 31 December 2008). Excluding the company shares held by
the Group, the company's market capitalisation was EUR 303.1 million (EUR 234.8
million on 31 December 2008).
At the end of the review period, Raisio plc held 9,150,669 free shares and
201,295 restricted shares. The number of free shares held by the company
accounts for 7.0 per cent of all free shares and the votes they represent, while
the corresponding figure for restricted shares is 0.58 per cent. In all, the
company shares held by the Group represent 5.66 per cent of the company's share
capital and 1.61 per cent of overall votes.
The Group repurchased 3,487 restricted shares in the review period based on the
authorisation given by the Annual General Meeting held in spring 2008. In the
review period, it assigned 7,831 free shares to the Chairman of the Board and
Board members as part of the compensation for their duties, in line with the
decision taken by the Annual General Meeting in spring 2009.
Raisio plc's subsidiaries do not hold any shares in the parent company. The
Raisio Group Research Foundation holds 150,510 restricted shares, which is 0.44
per cent of the restricted shares and the votes they represent and,
correspondingly, 0.09 per cent of the whole share capital and 0.37 per cent of
the votes it represents.
A share in Raisio 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 held on 26 March 2009 approved the financial
statements for the financial year 1 January-31 December 2008 and discharged the
members of the Supervisory Board and the Board of Directors, as well as the
Chief Executive Officer, from liability. The Annual General Meeting decided to
distribute a dividend of EUR 0.07 per share. The dividend was paid to
shareholders on 7 April 2009.
The Annual General Meeting decided to amend the Articles of Association to state
that a person who has turned 68 before the beginning of the term cannot be
elected as a member of the Board of Directors. The amendment was entered in the
Trade Register on 15 April 2009.
The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to decide on the
repurchase of a maximum of 5,500,000 free shares and 1,375,000 restricted
shares. The authorisation expires on 26 September 2010.
Furthermore, the Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to
decide on share issues by (1) disposing all of the company shares and any
repurchased shares - a maximum total of 16,460,000 shares, 1,801,500 of which
can be restricted shares, and by (2) issuing a maximum of 16,500,000 new free
shares against payment. The share issue authorisations will expire, at the
latest, on 26 March 2014.
Details of the authorisations are available in the stock exchange release issued
on 12 February 2009. A stock exchange release about the decisions made by the
Annual General Meeting was published on 26 March 2009.
RISKS AND SOURCES OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE NEAR FUTURE
Volatility of raw material prices is expected to continue. Volatility control
will be essential to Raisio's profitability also in the future. The main risks
in the near future are related to the changes in demand caused by the general
economic development in the Group's market areas.
In compliance with the Feed Act, Raisio Feed will compensate its livestock
producers for damages caused by the Salmonella Tennessee case in the spring. No
estimate of the overall sum of compensation can be given at this time, but the
company does have comprehensive liability and product liability insurance.
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.
Ever 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 operating
result is predicted to account for 4-5% 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 modified its segment 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, 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 figures for previous periods presented in this interim report have been
adjusted accordingly.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Discontinued operations

its margarine business to Bunge. In this interim report, the assets and
liabilities of the divested business are presented separately on the balance
sheet as assets and liabilities held for sale. The result of Raisio Polska
Food's margarine business has been transferred to discontinued operations in the

Finland, Sweden and Estonia as a partner of Bunge. The divestment is expected to
be finalised in the third quarter.
