STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION IN 2005

Rapala’s strategic objective is profitable growth, founded on 3 established strenghts: a unique manufacturing and sourcing platform (China and Europe) a leading global distribution network in fishing tackle industry a strong brand portfolio with several leading brands

The strengthening of the Group’s distribution network Started with the purchase of the Swiss distributor FunFish (net sales 1 MEUR) in May Followed with the acquisition of the Australian distribution company Freetime (5 MEUR) in July Remaining 33% minority stake of Rapala’s Danish distribution company purchased in August Hungarian distributor Eurohold (2 MEUR) was acquired in October Acquisition of the South African fishing tackle distributor Tatlow & Pledger (6 MEUR) was closed

in February 2006

The Group also signed a worldwide exclusive distribution agreement for sport fishing for the pheromone based fish attractant branded as Ultrabite. In the future, Rapala will launch lures and baits containing these pheromones. On a larger scale, the impact on sales will be seen only in 2007 and onwards.

In addition to these acquisitions, new sales companies were opened in Malaysia, China and Thailand.

Slide 9

STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION IN 2005

Acquisition of Luhr Jensen & Sons (USA) closed in October (net sales 7 MEUR) Market leader in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska (USA) and in British Columbia (Canada). The production will be transferred to the Rapala factories, primarily Rapala’s factory located in

China, during a 12-month transition period. Combined Luhr Jensen & Blue Fox makes Rapala the market leader world wide in metal lures

Acquisition of Finnish knife manufacturer Marttiini closed in November (net sales 6 MEUR) The deal includes the Finnish knife factory in Rovaniemi, the knife sheaths factory in Estonia and

the 49% share in the Chinese knife joint-venture with Rapala. Rapala is now the market leader worldwide in filleting knives.

The acquisition of 61% of Peltonen Ski (net sales of 2 MEUR) finalised in November Winter-sports, together with hunting, have an important role in the Group distribution business in

Nordic countries were the fishing tackle business is very slow in autumn and winter time. The integration of new businesses has progressed on plan.

Ramp-up of production at the Chinese knife manufacturing joint venture on plan. As a result of the acquisition of Marttiini, this joint venture is now 100% owned by the Group.

The launch of Rapala’s new product line for fishing clothing (Rapala ProWear) has proceeded on plan and will be available for season 2006.

Slide 10

NORTH AMERICAN PERSPECTIVE

IGFA WORLD RECORDS More than 240 All-time records!

2nd place 2005:STORM

Slide 13

– Market outlook for 2006 looks stable in key markets (North America & Western Europe) and especially good in the new markets like East Europe, South Africa, Australia and Asia.

– Including the completed acquisitions in 2005 and early 2006, it is expected that the Group’s net sales for 2006 will continue to increase with double digit percentage.

– The profitability of the Group’s ongoing operations continues to be good. Pursuing acquisitions and business development as well as integration of acquired businesses has increased the fixed costs and this will continue in 2006. Also fixed costs on several start-up operations will continue to negatively affect the profitability until the sales volumes are high enough to cover the costs and deliver the targeted margins. As a result of the acquisitions, also the depreciation will increase.

– Therefore, operating profit is expected to be in absolute terms above last year level but achieving the 2005 operating margin level will be challenging. The full benefit of the completed acquisitions will materialize from 2007 onward.

– Working capital management continues in 2006. The target is to see an improvement on ongoing operations while the new acquisitions and start-ups will add working capital.

– Group management continues planning and negotiations regarding further acquisitions and business combinations to implement the Group’s strategy.

– The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 0.11 per share be paid. This represents an increase of 22%.

OUTLOOK FOR 2006
