Alma Media Corporation Stock Exchange Release 10 April 2014, 14:00 EEST CHANGE IN THE STRUCTURE AND COMPOSITION OF ALMA MEDIA'S REPORTABLE SEGMENTS Alma Media Group's reporting structure was changed at the beginning of 2014. From the beginning of 2014, Alma Media's reportable segments are Digital Consumer Services, Financial Media and Business Services, National Consumer Media, and Regional Media. Centralised services produced by the Group's parent company and centralised digital support services for the entire Group will be reported outside segment reporting. The Group has five operating segments as shown in the table below. The operating segments that produce similar products and services are combined into reportable segments due to their uniform profitability and other characteristics. The change in the segment structure is due to the transformation of the business environment in the media industry, with media consumption increasingly shifting to digital channels. +-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------+ |REPORTABLE SEGMENT: |OPERATING SEGMENT: | +-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------+ |Digital Consumer Services |Alma Diverso | | +-------------------------------------+ | |Marketplaces | +-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------+ |Financial Media and Business Services|Financial Media and Business Services| +-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------+ |National Consumer Media |National Consumer Media | +-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------+ |Regional Media |Regional Media | +-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------+ From the beginning of 2014, the Digital Consumer Services segment still includes Alma Diverso and Marketplaces, but the centralised digital support services for the entire Group have been moved to non-allocated items outside segment reporting. The name of Kauppalehti Group has been changed to Financial Media and Business Services. The new National Consumer Media segment consists of the IL Media operating segment, which was previously reported under the Newspapers segment. The new Regional Media segment includes the Alma Regional Media operating segment, which was previously reported under the Newspapers segment, as well as the Group's printing and distribution company Alma Manu, which was previously reported under the Other Operations segment. Other Operations no longer constitutes a separate segment. Instead, the operations of the Group's parent company are reported as non-allocated items. As the structure and composition of the reportable segments have changed, Alma Media has, in accordance with the IFRS 8 Operating Segments standard, adjusted the corresponding items in segment information for the 2013 comparison period. Segment revenue and operating profit under the previous and newly adopted segment structures is presented in the tables below.
