FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Net sales and profit for January-September 2013
The Group's net sales for January-September 2013 were 6,953 million, which is 3.8% down on the corresponding period of the previous year (7,227 million). Especially in Finland, the weakening of the general economic situation and consumer demand contributed to the decline of net sales in the home and speciality goods trade and the building and home improvement trade. In Finland, net sales decreased by 3.3% and in the other countries by 5.8%. Net sales performance in the other countries was materially impacted by the sales decline in the building and home improvement trade in Norway resulting from the retailer changes that took place in the Byggmakker chain in the previous year. International operations accounted for 18.2% (18.6%) of net sales. Net sales grew in the food trade and declined in the other divisions.

Kesko's strategic focus areas and profitability programme
The key focus areas in Kesko's business operations are to strengthen sales growth and the return on capital in all divisions, to exploit business opportunities in e-commerce and in Russia, and to maintain good solvency and dividend payment capacity.
As a result of a weakened general economic situation, tightened competition and an increase in the level of costs, Kesko is implementing the profitability programme announced previously, which aims to ensure price competitiveness and to improve profitability. The profitability programme includes significant measures aimed to increase sales, to enhance purchasing operations and to adjust costs, working capital and capital expenditure.
The Group level cost saving target is a total of around 100 million. Cost savings are implemented in all divisions and in all operating countries. Most of the cost savings are expected to be achieved in 2013. By the end of September 2013, Kesko's operating expenses were 1,302 million, representing a net decrease of 57 million (-4.2%) from the previous year regardless of store site network expansion and cost inflation.
The measures for staff cost enhancement were implemented as announced previously. In addition to terminations, the reductions included reduced working hours and retirement arrangements. Other significant savings are implemented by adjusting especially marketing and store site expenses and by centralising ICT purchases. In addition, special enhancement measures are targeted at operations with low profitability.
In the next few years, capital expenditure will be aligned with funds generated from operations to some 200-300 million per year.

Risk management
The Kesko Group has an established and comprehensive risk management process. Risks and their management are assessed in the Group regularly and they are reported to the Group's management. Kesko's risk management and risks associated with business operations are described in more detail on Kesko's website in the section Corporate Governance.
The most significant near-future risks in Kesko's business operations are related to the general economic development, the financial market situation in the euro zone and the trend of consumer confidence as well as their impact on Kesko's sales and profit performance. In 2013, no material changes are estimated to have taken place in the risks described in the 2012 report by Kesko's Board of Directors and the financial statements, or in the risks described on Kesko's website.
The risks and uncertainties related to financial performance are described in the section future outlook 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 (10/2013-9/2014) in comparison with the 12 months preceding the reporting period (10/2012-9/2013).
Resulting from the problems of European national economies, the future prospects for the general economic situation and consumer demand continue to be characterised by significant uncertainty. In consequence of weakened employment and consumers' purchasing power, the growth prospects for the trading sector remain weak.
In the Finnish grocery trade, the market is expected to remain stable. As a result of the weakened economic situation, the demand in the home and speciality goods trade, the building and home improvement trade and the car and machinery trade is expected to remain weak.
The Kesko Group's net sales and the operating profit excluding non-recurring items for the next twelve months are expected to remain at the level of the preceding twelve months, unless the overall consumer demand weakens significantly.

TABLES SECTION
Accounting policies
This interim report has been prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 standard. The interim report has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting principles as the annual financial statements for 2012, with the exception of the following changes due to the adoption of new and revised IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations:
The amendment to the IAS 19 Employee benefits standard changes the determination of the return on defined benefit pension plan assets. According to the revised standard, the rate used to discount the retirement benefit obligation is used as the return on assets in place of the expected long-term return on the assets used previously. Due to the amendment, the net return on defined benefit pension plans recognised in the consolidated income statement decreases. In addition, the amendment to the IAS 19 Employee benefits standard eliminates the possibility to apply the so-called "corridor approach" to the calculation of retirement benefits classified as defined benefit pension plans, which follows that the changes in the calculation assumptions used for measuring the pension obligation and the covering assets are recognised in pension assets and equity in the balance sheet. The impact of the amendment was announced in a separate stock exchange release on 11 April 2013.
In addition, the Group has adopted the following standards and amendments to standards issued for application:
-IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements (amendment)
-IFRS 13 Fair value measurement
-IFRS 7 Financial instruments: Disclosures (amendment).
