Scanfil previously estimated that in 2014, its turnover would increase by 11–18% and its operating profit would be EUR 11.0–15.0 million. Petteri Jokitalo, CEO of Scanfil plc: "I am pleased with our financial performance during the second quarter. Our turnover increased by approximately 25% and our operating profit increased more than 1.5-fold. The timing of seasonal demand and projects for certain customer products during the second quarter contributed to the favourable development. We have launched several development programmes to further strengthen our operational performance. We have gotten off to a good start, but it is clear that there is still a lot of potential and things that remain to be done. We aim to be the number one contract manufacturing partner for our customers." BUSINESS TRENDS The integration of Schaltex Systems, a German contract manufacturer acquired at the end of March, into Scanfil Group has proceeded according to plan. The company's name changed to Scanfil GmbH in June. Scanfil GmbH's business operations have been consolidated into Scanfil's consolidated financial statements as of 1 April 2014. Scanfil's turnover developed favourably during the second quarter, increasing by almost 25% year-on-year. Sales of professional electronics increased by approximately 25% during the second quarter. The acquired company Scanfil GmbH accounted for almost half of the increase in the sales of professional electronics. The demand for telecommunications products also developed positively, with sales increasing by approximately 24%. The turnover for January-June amounted to EUR 108.2 million, representing growth of nearly 17% year-on-year. This year, the demand for a few customer products will focus on the first half of the year, which was reflected in the growth in turnover during the second quarter in particular. Professional electronics customers accounted for 82% (82%) of total sales in January-June, and telecommunications customers for 18% (18%). The increased sales volume and successful cost control were the main drivers of the favourable development of the operating profit for the review period. The adoption of Scanfil's new ERP system has proceeded according to plan, and the system is currently in use in Finland, Hungary and at the Suzhou subsidiary in China. Next, the system will be adopted in the Chinese Hangzhou subsidiary and the Estonian subsidiary in Pärnu. FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT The Group’s turnover for January - June was EUR 108.2 (92.8) million.

FUTURE PROSPECTS Scanfil is defining its estimate of the development of operating profit in 2014, estimating that the operating profit will amount to EUR 13.0-15.0 million. Turnover is expected to increase by 11-18%, in line with the previous guidance. Scanfil previously estimated that in 2014, its turnover would increase by 11–18% and its operating profit would be EUR 11.0–15.0 million. OPERATIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES Weakening of the global economy, tightening of world power politics and the decrease in international demand for investment commodities might have a negative impact on the development of the business of Scanfil’s customers and impair the demand in the contract manufacturing market. This would have a negative impact on 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 risks and risk management are described in greater detail on the company’s website under Corporate Governance and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
