We will build new capacities, seek efficiency and

media.

26. Alma Regional Media modernises its operational model
and launches statutory personnel negotiations
• Regional Media initiated statutory personnel negotiations in
September to restructure its operations. The negotiations apply to
the publication employees of Regional Media (except papers
published in Lapland ) Alma Manu Oy, the printing and distribution
company under Regional Media, is not included in the negotiations.
• According to a preliminary estimate, the number of employees may
be reduced by at most 85 man-years. All in all, the negotiations
apply to approximately 500 people.
• There is a need to modernise the operational models of the
newspapers to better support the media that is becoming more and
more digitised.The changes are also necessitated by the financial
performance of the newspaper family.
• The objective of the reorganising is to inspect all operations in
deliveries, production, sales, customer service, and support
functions.

27. Restructuring the commercial operations of media
sales, the Alma Media Solutions organisation
• The objective is to strengthen the development of digital
solutions for advertising and marketing communications,
handling of key accounts, sales support as well as marketing
and sales.
• A centralised operating model enables the realisation of new
Alma-level products and customer-specific, unique solutions
especially in digital format.
• Digital advertising services, advertising management and
technical support for advertising will also be strengthened.
The aim is to support the development of programmatic
buying in advertising, as well as to strengthen data and
analytics expertise to serve media sales.
• In conjunction with the organisational restructuring, the Alma
Diverso unit was discontinued and its employees were
transferred to other Alma Media business units.

28. Outlook for 2015
• Low interest rates, a weaker euro and lower oil price improve
the chances for growth in the long run. However, in 2015,
economic growth is still expected to remain weak in Europe
and, in particular, in Finland.The weak economic
development has an impact on advertising volume, which is
not expected to increase in Finland in 2015.
• Alma Media expects its revenue to decrease in 2015 and
operating profit excluding non-recurring items to remain
unchanged or decrease from the 2014 level.The full-year
revenue 2014 was MEUR 295.4, and operating profit
excluding non-recurring items was MEUR 21.4.
