My name is Roar Engeland and it is a great pleasure for me to introduce the presentation of Orkla's first quarter #### under the heading of robust operations. Our plan today is to use the same outline as previously. We will begin by talking about the whole Group. Then we will be going through the different business areas in the same order as we have done previously with one exception. And that is that this quarterly result is affected by some activities in Elkem. So we'll be spending a little bit more time on Elkem. And our colleague Helge Holen who's the President of Elkem will be taking -- the CEO of Elkem -- will be taking us through that before we finish and go on to the questions and answers. If we look at the heading, robust operations -- if we look at the first quarter operating profit, it was a little bit more than NOK#b. This is slightly down from last year. The decline is due to a few items that are under the Elkem heading.... 5/6/2008 8:13:00 AMOrkla ASA54.0000FinalQ1 2008 Orkla ASA Earnings Presentation TranscriptORK.OL8:00am CETTranscriptT1832394Credit & Investment ResearchThomson Street EventsNORWAY - Norgrain AS, a unit of Cermaq ASA was granted to acquire a ##% stake in Denofa AS, a Gamle Fredrikstad-based producer of animal & marine fats & oil, a unit of Orkla ASA, from Oraveien Industripark AS.4/18/2008 12:25:59 PM65589W24858R73150V68626JNorgraine Societe d'Achats en Commun des Grainetiers de la Region du NordDenofa ASPollenOrkla ASAhttp://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/Thomson_M%26A/Norgraine_Pollen_acquires_Denofa_AS_from_Orkla_ASA-1970162040sdc/19701620401970162040Copyright © 2008, Financial Times Information, All Rights ReservedWholesale Trade-Nondurable GoodsFranceGrain and field beans5153FFForeignSubsidiary0181:Ornamental floriculture and nursery products5153:Grain and field beans5261:Retail nurseries, lawn and garden supply stores5992:Florists0181:Ornamental floriculture and nursery products5992:Florists6719:Offices of holding companies, nec6799:Investors, nec7389:Business services, necFood and Kindred ProductsNorwayAnimal and marine fats and oils2077FFForeignSubsidiary692682002Own,op flower,plant retailersInvest hldg coUnspecifiedStock279336001Apr 18 20080.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000001.000002.00000Buy and market grain; retailflowers and plantsBuy and market grain; retail flowers and plantsBuy and market grain; retail flowers and plants1.000002.000003.000004.000005.000006.000007.000008.000009.0000010.00000Denofa AS, located in GamleFredrikstad, Norway, producesanimal and marine fats andoils.

It is a great pleasure for me to welcome you here this morning to take you through Q# for Orkla. My name is Dag Opedal and first of all I'll be taking you through some of the highlights. Then our CFO, Terje Andersen, will come in and talk about three of our different areas of activity. Then Torkild Nordberg and Ole Enger will be covering their areas of responsibility. If we take a look first of all at #### as a whole, we have to say that last year was a very, very good financial year. At the same time it would be correct to describe the first half of the year as stronger than the second half of the year. The earnings per share figure, adjusted for one-off effects and gains in connection with the sale of Orkla Media, ended at NOK#.##. This is an increase of #% plus compared with '##. The result profit before tax was some NOK##b, which is up NOK#.#b.

This is -- our very clear ambition is that the Sapa concern will represent a tremendous locomotive for growth and value creation in Orkla over the coming years. We have also implemented a significant industrial improvement program. And we see, however, that some of the markets that we're operating in are weaker in the third and also in the fourth quarter than they were at the beginning of the year. As mentioned, we have seen a very good development trend in REC and Jotun. But in Orkla Materials we see very strong end markets that are being offset by a weaker -- they're being hampered by a weaker US dollar and increased raw material costs in certain segments.

My name is Dag Opedal and I'm going to be covering the overarching things for the Group. After that, Torkild Nordberg will be telling you about the consumer goods and Ole Enger will be talking about aluminum products. There was a lot of things to be happy about at Orkla in Q#. Our operating profit was up ##% and our profit before tax increased by ##%. Four of our five business areas had underlying genuine progress in terms of their results. But in Orkla, as usual, there are some companies that we would like to see doing even better, of course. If we looked at branded consumer goods, for example, there's been a very good strong progress in the past five years. The profits have increased by up to NOK#b over the past five years. During this quarter, Orkla Foods and parts of Orkla Foods do not have a satisfactory result. This... TranscriptT1592091Credit & Investment ResearchThomson Street Events
