Provisional 2007 results

  Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc. The issuer is responsible

Company Information
25.01.2008
The trading group Valora estimates its operating profit (including 
results from its production companies) to be at least CHF 65 million 
for 2007 as a whole, a result which is significantly above earlier 
expectations. Preliminary figures put the Group´s net sales for the 
year at  2.95 billion, a 3% increase on 2006. Sales at Valora´s Swiss
kiosk operations showed a particularly marked improvement. The Board 
of Directors will recommend that a dividend also be paid this year.
The provisional 2007 full-year EBIT of CHF 65 million is especially 
pleasing given that only CHF 17 million in operating profits were 
generated during the first six months of the year. During the final 
six months of 2007, Valora has thus largely succeeded in making good 
the earnings shortfall suffered in the first half. At the conclusion 
of 3rd quarter, the Group anticipated achieving full-year EBIT 
(including results from production companies) of at least CHF 48 
million. Now, thanks to very good performance in the final quarter, 
the Group can report a significantly better full-year result.
Valora´s Board of Directors is pleased with these provisional 
figures. As Valora´s Chairman, Beatrice Tschanz Kramel, put it, "The 
numbers demonstrate that we will be able to continue our ongoing 
dividend payments in 2007". Valora paid a dividend of CHF 9 per share
in respect of 2006.
Valora will present its detailed final results for 2007 at its 
results conference on April 1, 2008.
