1 Interim report 1 January months ended 2013 Local currency sales increased by 3% and Euro sales decreased by 5% to 294.6m ( 309.4m). Number of active consultants increased by 2%. Adjusted* operating margin was 7.8% (9.1%) resulting in an adjusted* operating profit of 23.1m ( 28.0m). Currency movements had a negative effect of approx. 230 bps on the operating margin. Adjusted* net profit amounted to 9.4m ( 18.4m) and adjusted* EPS amounted to 0.17 ( 0.32). Cash flow from operating activities amounted to -9.3m ( 18.4m). At the end of August Oriflame announced measures to drive sales in EMEA and enhance efficiency in the Group. Fourth quarter update: The underlying sales in the fourth quarter 2013 to date is in line with prior year in local currency. 9 months ended 2013 Local currency sales remained stable compared to prior year and Euro sales decreased by 4% to 1,035.5m ( 1,078.7m). Adjusted* operating margin was 9.2% (11.0%) resulting in an adjusted* operating profit of 95.6m ( 118.9m). Adjusted* net profit amounted to 57.2m ( 84.2m) and adjusted* EPS amounted to 1.03 ( 1.48). Cash flow from operating activities amounted to 48.4m ( 105.8m). * Adjusted for restructuring costs of 3.6m CEO Magnus Brännström comments Our key growth markets in Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East continue to perform very well, representing more than 30% of sales in the quarter. However, sales growth for the Group of 3% in the third quarter shows that the sales development in our main markets in CIS and Europe continues to be volatile, as the initiatives to increase sales and efficiency are yet to translate into benefits. Fourth quarter sales in local currency have started in line with prior year and the positive sales force momentum from the third quarter has continued. 1

Sales development in local currencies was impacted by a 1% increase in productivity while the number of active consultants in the quarter increased by 2% to 3.0m (2.9m). Unit sales were down by 6%, more than offset by a positive price/mix effect of 9%. Local currency sales increased by 21% in Asia and 19% in Latin America, while CIS & Baltics decreased by 3% and EMEA was constant. Gross margin improved to 69.6% (69.0%) and the adjusted operating margin (adjusted for 3.6m in restructuring costs) amounted to 7.8% (9.1%). The improvement in gross margin was driven by price increases, largely offset by currency movements. Operating margin was also affected by negative leverage on administrative expenses. The margin effect from consultant price increases related to the improved CIS Success Plan was offset by the corresponding increase in selling expenses. Currency movements had approximately 230 bps negative effect on the operating margin. Adjusted net profit amounted to 9.4m ( 18.4m) and adjusted earnings per share amounted to 0.17 ( 0.32). The result was affected by net financing costs of 10.0m compared to 3.5m last year, mainly an effect of higher net losses on currency exchange. The total tax charge during the quarter amounted to 3.7m ( 6.1m). The tax rate was impacted by the losses on exchange as well as the restructuring charge. Cash flow from operating activities was -9.3m ( 18.4m), negatively affected by lower EBITDA and higher increase in working capital. The average number of full-time equivalent employees was 7,079 (7,249). Stable local currency sales Nine months ended 2013 Sales in local currencies remained stable and Euro sales amounted to 1,035.5m compared to 1,078.7m in the same period prior year. Sales development in local currencies was the result of a 2% increase in the number of active consultants and a corresponding decrease in productivity. Gross margin improved to 70.0% (69.7%) and adjusted operating margin amounted to 9.2% (11.0%). Margins were negatively impacted by currency movements and negative leverage. This was partly offset by positive price/mix effects. Adjusted net profit amounted to 57.2m ( 84.2m) and adjusted earnings per 2

3 share were 1.03 ( 1.48). Cash flow from operating activities amounted to 48.4m ( 105.8m), as a result of lower EBITDA and an increase in working capital while working capital decreased in the same period last year. * As earlier communicated, Oriflame is from the first quarter 2013 reporting one measure of the number of consultants active consultants - which is the number of Oriflame Consultants that have placed at least one order during the quarter. This number corresponds to what was previously called closing sales force. Active consultants is also the measure used for productivity calculations. Operational highlights New markets During the third quarter Oriflame started sales activities in Tunisia, Nigeria and Myanmar. Products and innovation During the quarter, Oriflame successfully launched Triple Core 3D Lipstick, a unique concept within the Company s largest brand Oriflame Beauty, and Colour Drop Lipstick within True Colour the entry level brand. In the Skin Care category, the brands within the upper mass price position Time Reversing and BioClinic showed a good performance. With the launch of Optimals Skin Youth, Oriflame continued the further development of its Optimals brand. A notable launch within the Fragrance category was Power Women, an elegant and modern fragrance, endorsed by the Russian celebrity Tina Kandelaki in the CIS. In the search for sustainable anti-ageing active ingredients, Oriflame is enhancing the capability to develop powerful anti-ageing ingredients that can boost and rejuvenate ageing skin. The technique, at the leading edge of skincare science, is highly sustainable and 100% traceable. It is for example used for the newly launched Ecollagen skincare product. Online The number of visitors to Oriflame s websites increased by 10% compared to the same quarter last year, with an increasing number of first-time visitors. The visits are spontaneous or prompted through e.g. social media, search engine optimization or product marketing initiatives and investment in these areas will continue. The pilot launch in Sweden and Norway during the second quarter 2013, enabling Oriflame Consultants to invite online customers to shop directly from the Oriflame site, is being evaluated and early results are encouraging. Oriflame also launched a pilot in the Moscow area after the close of the period. During the third quarter the number of online planning and training modules increased, with the aim to better monitor sales performance and consumer behaviour. Online highlights for the third quarter 2013: - Close to 90% of total orders are being placed online, and increasing. - The number of site visits from mobile platforms has tripled compared to the same period last year and visits originated from social media were up 8%. 3

4 GDC Noginsk LEED certified Service Service levels continued to improve in the third quarter as a result of enhanced planning systems, continuous process improvements and regional product sourcing initiatives. Inventory levels, have at the same time, been reduced year over year although the third quarter saw a seasonal increase, ahead of the major selling season. Build-up of the volumes processed in the new Group Distribution Centre (GDC) in Noginsk, Russia has reached a third of the total Russian volumes. Moreover, the certification of the GDC building reached a significant milestone with the confirmation of the LEED Silver Certification. With the distribution centre up and running, the on-site works in Noginsk are presently concentrated on the development of the factory building and installations. The goal is to enable commissioning of the factory during the summer of In the Budapest GDC, Bosnia was successfully integrated in August, bringing the total number of markets served by this GDC to eleven. In the Warsaw GDC, the UK and Ireland were added in September. After the conclusion of the purchase transaction of the new Wellness production site in Roorkee, India, construction and installation works have started in order for the factory to be ready for production during Measures to drive sales and efficiency In a press release on 29 August Oriflame announced a number of proposed initiatives to be implemented in 2013 and early These initiatives aim to shorten time to market, increase the effectiveness of catalogues, sales campaigns and back-office functions, and find synergies of global indirect purchases. They are expected to drive sales as well as lead to annual cost savings in the range of 15-20m. Relating to this, Oriflame had restructuring costs amounting to 3.6m in the third quarter. 4
