Net sales growth was substantially impacted by the acquisition of AEES-companies in the last quarter of 2011. Full year cash flow after investments was very strong being EUR 63.7 million. We were able to significantly reduce gearing, which as a result of acquisitions had been higher than normally. Gearing at end of the year went down to 34.4%. I am particularly satisfied that during the financial year we were able to conquer new customers and to increase sales to our current customers in new market areas. PKC has unique competence in managing wiring systems product variations. PKC’s market position is strong in all its key geographical operational areas. PKC’s Wiring Systems business segment performance improved positively and operating profit excluding non-recurring items increased 26%. Operating profit was burdened by significant losses in the Brazilian wiring systems operations. The losses in Brazil were mainly due to low volumes in the Brazilian truck market, general cost inflation and due to on-going reorganization of manufacturing. PKC’s Electronics business segment’s operating profit excluding non-recurring items decreased by 24%. Actions to improve profitability are on-going. The objective is a competitive cost structure in order to be able to serve our global customers even better. It is estimated, that the 2013 truck production volumes will increase in Brazil, remain stable in North America and continue to decrease in Europe. However, the transition to Euro 6 standard in Europe may speed up the sales of Euro 5 significantly at the end of the year. The markets of Electronics segment are estimated to remain stable. During the coming financial year PKC will focus on few essential initiatives that are related to mapping out the growth opportunities in the APAC region, further development of the competitiveness and capabilities of the global manufacturing operations and improvement of cash flow.” OPERATING ENVIRONMENT Wiring Systems Business - Vehicles, Europe The 2012 last quarter production of heavy duty trucks was 80,000 units, which is 10% more than in the previous quarter.

The company’s President and CEO is obliged to own these shares for the duration of his managerial contract. 2012 options The Annual General Meeting held on 4 April 2012 decided to issue stock options to key personnel in the company and its subsidiaries. The maximum total number of stock options issued is 1,020,000. The stock options are marked with the symbol 2012A(i) and 2012A(ii); 2012B(i) and 2012B(ii); as well as 2012C(i) and 2012C(ii). A total of 170,000 stock options are included in each stock option class. At the close of the financial year, the outstanding options and options held by key personnel totals 170,000 2012A(i) warrants, in addition to which 170,000 2012A(ii) warrants have been initially allocated to key personnel. The subscription price for shares through the exercise of the 2012 stock options is the volume-weighted average price of the PKC Group Plc share on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd during first quarter in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The share subscription price is EUR 15.31 with the 2012A options. The subscription price for shares will be recorded in the invested non-restricted equity fund. The stock options entitle their owners to subscribe for a maximum total of 1,020,000 new shares in the company or existing shares held by the company. The share subscription period for stock options 2012A, will be 1 April 2015 30 April 2017, for stock options 2012B, 1 April 2016 30 April 2018, and for stock options 2012C, 1 April 2017 30 April 2019. The share subscription period for stock options 2012A(ii), 2012B(ii) and 2012C(ii) shall, however, not commence, unless certain operational or financial targets of the Group established for the exercise of stock options and determined by the Board of Directors have been attained. The Board of Directors shall annually decide on targets separately for each stock option class in connection with the distribution of stock options. Those stock options, for which the targets determined by the Board of Directors have not been attained, shall expire in the manner decided by the Board of Directors. The 2012 stock options are subject to a share ownership plan. Key personnel are obliged to subscribe for or purchase the company’s shares with 20% of the gross income earned from stock options and to own these shares for two years. The company’s President and CEO is obliged to own these shares for the duration of his managerial contract. CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY Corporate responsibility is a key element in PKC’s operations. PKC operates with ethical business practice, takes responsibility for the operating environment and strives to minimize any harm caused to the environment, and respects and promotes human rights and fair workplace practices, equal opportunities, and zero-tolerance policy on bribery and corruption. PKC Group’s Board of Directors has ratified the Code of Conduct covering the whole group. The Code of Conduct sets principles for ethical business practice and is based on the highest ethical standards. Compliance with legislation, regulations and international norms is a fundamental requirement, from which it is not possible to deviate in any circumstances. With regard to the labour union issue in Acuña, Mexico, the official election regarding the labour union representation of the employees at PKC Group’s facilities in Acuña, Mexico was arranged by the Mexican Federal Labour Board on 18 October 2012. According to the counting of the votes by the Labour Board, the Confederation of Mexican Workers (CTM), the labour union with whom a collective bargaining agreement had already been executed, won the election with 52% of the votes cast. Voter turnout was 64%. PKC’s Corporate Responsibility report for 2012 will be published on 13 March 2013. SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The public deficit and high indebtedness of many European countries and also the United States has weakened economic growth, end-customer demand and availability of financing for investment goods. This increases uncertainty in the markets and might be reflected in longer than expected customer production shut-downs and in reduced daily production volumes. Weakening of the euro against the Polish zloty and the Russian rouble as well as the weakening of the USD against the Mexican peso may increase PKC’s processing costs. Strengthening of the euro against the Brazilian real may increase PKC’s material costs. A significant increase in copper price may weaken PKC Group’s profit in short term. The customer prices are updated on average with 5 month delay on the basis of copper price changes. MARKET OUTLOOK European heavy and medium truck production is estimated to decrease by 8% compared to 2012. The general economic uncertainty is estimated to keep the commercial vehicle demand in Europe at a lower level especially during the first half of 2013. In the second half, the production volumes are estimated to increase due to transition to Euro 6 emission standard. North American heavy duty truck production is estimated to decrease by 5%, medium duty truck production to increase 10% and light vehicle production to remain at 2012 level. It is estimated that the production volumes of trucks will increase gradually throughout the year. Brazilian heavy duty truck production is estimated to increase by 14% and medium duty truck production by 48% compared to 2012. The governmental incentive program to support the purchase of new trucks is ongoing. The continuation of the program is decided during year 2013. The continuation of the program may have an impact on the production volumes. PKC’s market outlook is further impacted by some light vehicle and component programs that are near end-of-life-cycle and will be ramped-down in 2013. Industrial investment cautiousness of companies globally is estimated to keep the demand of industrial electronic appliances not more than on a current level. Volumes of renewable-energy and energy saving products including smart grid solutions are likely to remain good. PKC GROUP’S OUTLOOK PKC Group estimates its full year 2013 net sales to be lower than in 2012 and estimates its comparable operating profit excluding non-recurring items to reach 2012 level. In 2012 PKC’s net sales were EUR 928.2 million and comparable operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 51.5 million. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ PROPOSAL FOR THE DISPOSAL OF PROFITS The parent company’s distributable funds are EUR 86.2 million, of which EUR 63.8 million is distributable as dividends, including the net profit for the financial year EUR 42.0 million. The Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting to be held on 4 April 2013 that a dividend of EUR 0.70 per share be paid for a total of EUR 15.1 million and that the remainder of the distributable funds be transferred to shareholders’ equity. The number of shares may change due to share subscriptions registered before the record date. The record date for the dividend pay-out is 9 April 2013 and the payment date is 16 April 2013. In the view of the Board of Directors, the proposed dividend pay-out will not put the company’s liquidity at risk. ANNUAL REPORT 2012 AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT PKC will publish its Annual Report for 2012, which contains the report by the Board of Directors and financial statements, auditor’s report and a separate corporate governance statement on 13 March 2013 on its website at www.pkcgroup.com.
