The new Scanfil plc was established in the demerger of Sievi Capital plc on 1
January 2012. In the demerger, Scanfil EMS Oy, engaged in contract
manufacturing, transferred to Scanfil plc. Since year 2012 is the first
operating year of the new company, Scanfil plc does not have comparison figures
for previous financial periods. The company has published the figures for the
Scanfil EMS Oy Group for 2011 as comparison data.
Scanfil plc raises its estimate of the development of its operating profit and
now expects the operating profit to fall slightly short of the level for 2011.
With regard to turnover, Scanfil still estimates that its full-year turnover
will decrease clearly compared to 2011 (Scanfil EMS Oy’s turnover for 2011 was
EUR 210.8 million and operating profit EUR 9.1 million).
Scanfil previously estimated that its full-year turnover and operating profit
would clearly decrease compared to 2011. The full-year operating profit was,
however, expected to be clearly positive.
Harri Takanen, CEO of Scanfil plc:
”As the result of the cost management measures carried out early in the year,
we adjusted to the decrease in sales, and our operating profit level was
considerably better during the second quarter than the first quarter. In spite
of the decreased turnover, Scanfil's financial position is good. The commitment
of our personnel to developing the company’s operations has been a crucial
factor in order to reach these results.
Our sales to professional electronics customers have continuously developed
positively in spite of weak general economic growth. Confidence of both old and
new customers in a solvent partner has played a key role in the positive
development. In the telecommunications products market, the development of
sales has gone in a different direction, and no major changes compared to the
current level of sales can be seen in the near future.”
DEVELOPMENT OF OPERATIONS
The demand for both telecommunications and professional electronics products
developed positively during the second quarter. The company’s turnover for the
second quarter was EUR 49.3 million, a growth of nearly 16% compared to the
first quarter. The demand for professional electronics products continued to be
good, increasing by approximately 10% compared to the first quarter. The growth
in the demand for telecommunications products was good during the second
quarter, +32% compared to the first quarter, but the demand continues to be
low.
Turnover for the first two quarters totalled EUR 91.9 million, of which
professional electronics customers accounted for 72% (76% in the first quarter)
and telecommunications customers for 28% (24% in the first quarter).
The company’s profitability developed favourably, and operating profit for the
second quarter was 6.4% of turnover (2.3% excluding non-recurring items in the
first quarter). The favourable development of the profitability is mainly the
result of increasing turnover and the company’s efficiency in monitoring and
cutting its costs to a level corresponding with the uncertain market situation.
Scanfil plc’s subsidiary Scanfil EMS Oy purchased in May production and office
facilities with a total floor area of 26,000 square metres and a 19.3 hectare
plot in Sievi from Sievi Capital plc. Scanfil EMS Oy was previously a tenant in
the facilities. The purchase price was EUR 4.2 million, and Scanfil EMS Oy paid
it using its liquid assets.
FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT
The Group’s turnover for January - June was EUR 91.9 million. Distribution of
turnover based on the location of customers was as follows: Finland 45%, rest
of Europe 17%, Asia 37%, USA 1%.
Operating profit for the Group during the review period was EUR 4.6 million,
representing 5.0% of turnover. The operating profit includes the following
non-recurring items recognised in the first quarter: Scanfil EMS Oy’s share of
the damages paid by Ojala-Yhtymä Oy, EUR 1.2 million, Scanfil plc’s listing
expenses, EUR 0.4 million, and the provision for expenses due to the
restructuring of the Hangzhou subsidiary, EUR 0.4 million, consisting mainly of
expenses related to the termination of personnel. Operating profit excluding
non-recurring items was EUR 4.1 million, representing 4.5% of turnover.
Earnings for the review period amounted to EUR 3.7 million. Earnings per share
were EUR 0.06 and return on investment was 9.5%.
Turnover amounted to EUR 49.3 million in April-June and operating profit for
the second quarter was EUR 3.2 million, or 6.4% of turnover. Profit for the
quarter was EUR 2.6 million.
FINANCING AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
The Group enjoys a strong financial position.
The consolidated balance sheet totalled EUR 138.9 million. Liabilities amounted
to EUR 64.6 million, EUR 32.2 million of which were non-interest-bearing and
EUR 32.4 million interest-bearing. The equity ratio was 53.5% and gearing 0.2%.
The equity per share was EUR 1.29.
Liquid cash assets totalled EUR 32.3 million.
Cash flow from operating activities in the review period of January - June came
to EUR 5.9 million. The change in working capital during the period amounted to
EUR -1.4 million. Cash flow from investment activities was EUR -5.0 and cash
flow from financing activities was EUR -4.4 million. The cash flow from
investment activities is mainly comprised of the purchase of the Sievi property
and the cash flow from financing activities consists of bank loan repayments.
Gross investments in January – June in fixed assets totalled EUR 5.1 million,
which is 5.6% of turnover. The purchase of the Sievi property makes up the
majority of the investments, EUR 4.2 million. Depreciations were EUR 2.2
million.
SCANFIL EMS OY’S COMPARISON FIGURES FOR 2011

plc executed on 1 January 2012, in which the contract manufacturing business

plc’s business operations consist of contract manufacturing operations, and
since Scanfil plc has no comparison figures for 2011, the company published

the company's Finnish units and 1,340 in the company's units outside Finland.
In all, 82% of the Group’s personnel were employed by subsidiaries outside

FUTURE PROSPECTS
Due to the continued uncertain situation in the global and European economy,
the predictability of the contract manufacturing market is very poor, and it is
not possible to provide a reliable outlook for the year. Based on the current
outlook, the demand for telecommunications products is expected to fall clearly
short of the previous year. The demand for professional electronics customers
is expected to be on a par with 2011.
Scanfil plc raises its estimate of the development of its operating profit and
now expects the operating profit to fall slightly short of the level of
2011.With regard to turnover, Scanfil still estimates that its full-year
turnover will decrease clearly compared to 2011 (Scanfil EMS Oy’s turnover for
2011 was EUR 210.8 million and operating profit EUR 9.1 million).
Scanfil previously estimated that its full-year turnover and operating profit
would clearly decrease compared to 2011.Full-year operating profit was,
however, expected to be clearly positive.
OPERATIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The uncertainty of the global economy and threatening new recession and the
decrease in international demand for investment commodities, especially in the
eurozone, may have a negative impact on the development of the business of
Scanfil’s customers and impair the demand in the contract manufacturing
market.This may slow down the development of Scanfil’s sales and profitability.
In other respects, the risks facing Scanfil’s business have remained
essentially the same. The company’s risksand risk management are described in
greater detail on the company’s website under Corporate Governance.

The company has a EUR 32.4 million loan in connection with which the company has
entered
into interest and currency swap agreements to convert the SEK-denominated
principal
and cash flows of instalments and interest payments into euros. The interest and
currency swap agreement fully hedges the instalments and interest payments
against
fluctuations in exchange and interest rates.
