Kesko's interim report 1 Jan.-31 Mar. 2012
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
KESKO CORPORATION STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 26.04.2012 AT 09.00 1(24)
Financial performance in brief:
*The Group's net sales for January-March increased by 10.2%.
*The operating profit excluding non-recurring items was ?23.6 million (?34.9
million). The operating profit excluding non-recurring items was negatively
impacted by the expansion of the store site network and the expansion of Russian
operations, and exceptional write-offs of approximately ?8 million.
* The Kesko Group's net sales are expected to grow during the next twelve
months. Owing to the costs involved in the expansion of the store site network
and Russian business operations, as well as a sales decrease in the car trade,
we are prepared for the operating profit excluding non-recurring items for the
next twelve months to be lower than the operating profit excluding non-recurring
items for the preceding twelve months.

receivables of the building and home improvement trade, as well as to an

food trade.

In the building and home improvement trade, the net sales for January-March were

increase of 7.1%. The building and home improvement product lines contributed
?212 million to the net sales in Finland, an increase of 5.8%. The agricultural

period. In Finland, a credit loss amounting to ?1 million was recorded on trade

Responsibility

in the World' list for the eighth time.
In February, Kesko was awarded by World Finance Magazine for 'the Best Corporate
Governance in Finland' in terms of corporate governance development and
reporting for the second time in succession.
In March, the US Ethisphere Institute listed Kesko as one of the World's Most
Ethical Companies for 2012.
In March, the K-Retailers' Association and the Finnish Association on
Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (FAIDD) started a cooperation
project to support the employment of people with intellectual and developmental
disabilities in the K-Group stores.
Risk management
The Kesko Group has an established and comprehensive risk management process.
Risks and their management responses are regularly assessed within the Group and
reported to the Group management. Kesko's risk management and risks associated
with business operations are described in more detail on Kesko's website in the
Corporate Governance section.
The most significant near-future risks in Kesko's business operations are
associated with the general economic development, the euro zone financial market
and consumer confidence in Kesko's operating area, as well as their impact on
the Kesko Group's sales and profit performance. It is estimated that in other
respects, no material changes have taken place in the risks described in the
report by the Board of Directors and financial statements for 2011 and the risks
described on Kesko's website.
Risks and uncertainties associated with economic development are described in
the future outlook section of this release.
Future outlook
Estimates of the future outlook for the Kesko Group's net sales and operating
profit excluding non-recurring items are given for the 12 months following the
reporting period (4/2012-3/2013) in comparison with the 12 months preceding the
reporting period (4/2011-3/2012).
Resulting from the problems of European national economies, the outlook for the
general economic situation continues to be characterised by significant
uncertainty. In addition, cuts in public finances and tightening taxation
increase the uncertainty about the development of consumer demand. However, the
outlook for consumer demand as a whole has improved during the first months of
2012.
The steady growth in the grocery trade and home and speciality goods trade is
expected to continue. Growth in the building and home improvement trade in
Finland is expected to even out as the growth of building construction slows
down. In the car and machinery trade, the market is expected to turn down as a
result of the car tax change effective 1 April 2012.
The Kesko Group's net sales are expected to grow during the next twelve months.
Owing to the costs involved in the expansion of the store site network and
Russian business operations, as well as a sales decrease in the car trade, we
are prepared for the operating profit excluding non-recurring items for the next
twelve months to be lower than the operating profit excluding non-recurring
items for the preceding twelve months.
