SCANFIL PLC    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS RELEASE       25 FEBRUARY 2014  9.45 A.M

SCANFIL GROUP’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR 1 JANUARY – 31 DECEMBER 2013

January – December - Turnover totalled EUR 188.5 million (2012: EUR 180.9 million), up 4.2% - Operating profit EUR 11.8 (8.1) million, 6.3% (4.5%) of turnover - Profit for the review period was EUR 8.2 (5.7) million - Earnings per share were EUR 0.14 (0.10) - The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting a dividend   of EUR 0.05 per share

October – December - Turnover totalled EUR 45.4 million (Q4 2012: 40.8), up 11.2% - Operating profit EUR 2.5 (0.7) million, 5.6% (1.8%) of turnover - Earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.03 (0.00)

Scanfil estimates that its turnover for 2014 will increase by between 4 and 10% and that the operating profit for the year will reach EUR 10.0-14.0 million.

Petteri Jokitalo, CEO of Scanfil plc: 'The year 2013 was good for Scanfil despite the fact that the overall demand situation on many markets remained difficult. Scanfil's turnover increased in 2013 and the company was also able to improve its profitability.  Global megatrends had a positive impact on the performance of many professional electronics customers and thus also on Scanfil's business. Demand for professional electronics products increased from the year 2012 and it accounted for about 82% of Scanfil's turnover in 2013.

I'm pleased with the profitability improvements during the year and with the fact that there was a substantial increase in turnover, especially in the fourth quarter. Profitable growth is also our aim in 2014.

I would like to extend my thanks to Scanfil personnel for successful work in 2013. We were able to grow profitably, which will provide us with a good basis for operational improvements and for meeting the needs of our stakeholders.'

GROUP STRUCTURE

The Scanfil Group comprises the parent company Scanfil plc and the Scanfil EMS subgroup. The Scanfil EMS subgroup, in turn, comprises the parent company Scanfil EMS Oy, subsidiaries and the associated company Greenpoint Oy (Scanfil EMS Oy's share of ownership 40%). Scanfil EMS Oy’s subsidiaries are the Chinese subsidiaries Scanfil (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. and Scanfil (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd., the Hungarian subsidiaries Scanfil Kft. (Budapest) and Rozália Invest Kft. (Budapest) as well as the Estonia-based Scanfil Oü (Pärnu). The Scanfil EMS group has a 100% holding in all of its subsidiaries.

DEVELOPMENT OF OPERATIONS

Scanfil's business operations developed positively during 2013. In September, the Group revised upwards its estimate of the operating profit for the year.  According to the estimate, there was a substantial improvement in the Group's operating profit, to EUR 11.8 (8.1) million, while turnover increased slightly, to EUR 188.5 (180.9) million, compared with 2012.

Many of Scanfil's professional electronics customers were able to increase their turnover in 2013, which also boosted demand for Scanfil's products. Cooperation with a number of key customers was extended to cover more highly integrated products. During the year, Scanfil also started cooperation with a number of promising new customers. The company continued sales efforts to expand its professional electronics customer base, particularly in China and Central Europe.

Sales to professional electronics customers increased by about 15% in 2013 compared with the previous year and accounted for 82% of turnover (74%). Sales to telecommunication customers continued to decline and accounted for 18% (26%) of the turnover.

In October-December, there was a substantial increase in turnover and operating profit, compared with the previous year.  Turnover increased by 11.2%, reaching EUR 45.4 million. Operating profit increased from EUR 0.7 million to EUR 2.5 million. The strong growth in operating profit during the last quarter was mainly the result of higher turnover and changes in the product mix.

FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT

The Group’s turnover for January - December was EUR 188.5 (180.9) million. The breakdown of turnover by regional segment was as follows: Europe 58% (59%) and Asia 42% (41%).

Operating profit for the Group during the review period was EUR 11.8 (8.1) million, representing 6.3% (4.5%) of turnover. The operating profit contains a write-down of EUR 0.3 million for accounts receivable from associated company.

The 2012 operating profit included a total of EUR +0.5 million in non-recurring items. Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 12.2 (7.6) million, representing 6.5% (4.2%) of turnover.

The operations of Greenpoint Oy, an associated company of Scanfil EMS Oy, have not developed as planned, and Scanfil's evaluation is that the Greenpoint's existing possibilities to deal with its obligations are poor. For this reason, Scanfil has recorded the write-down for all asset items connected with the associated company. Their effect on earnings before taxes is EUR -1.2 million. Scanfil EMS Oy owns 40% of Greenpoint Oy. Earnings for the review period amounted to EUR 8.2 (5.7) million. Earnings per share were EUR 0.14 (0.10) and return on investment was 11.4% (8.1%).

Turnover amounted to EUR 45.4 (40.8) million in October-December and operating profit for the fourth quarter was EUR 2.5 (0.7) million, or 5.6% (1.8%) of turnover. Profit for the quarter was EUR 1.9 (0.3) million.

FINANCING AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

The Group enjoys a strong financial position. The consolidated balance sheet totalled EUR 125.6 (130.0) million. Liabilities amounted to EUR 45.1 (55.0) million, EUR 26.8 (26.6) million of which were non-interest-bearing and EUR 18.3 (28.4) million interest-bearing. The equity ratio was 64.1% (57.7%) and gearing -12.2% (-2.4%). The equity per share was EUR 1.39 (1.30).

Liquid cash assets totalled EUR 28.2 (20.5) million.

Cash flow from operating activities in the accounting period came to EUR 13.2 (11.2) million positive. The change in net working capital during the year in review amounted to EUR 0.6 (0.4) million.  A total of EUR 35.6 million was tied to net working capital on 31 December 2013. Cash flow from investment activities was EUR +5.8 (-16.9) million and cash flow from financing activities was EUR -11.2 (-8.9) million. The investment cash flow includes the expiry of a deposit of EUR 9.8 million, which has a maturity of over three months and is classified as an investment. The financing cash flow contains the dividends payments and loan instalments.

Changes in exchange rates have not had a significant effect on the result of operational activity due to the business structure.

Gross investments in January – December in fixed assets totalled EUR 4.0 (7.2) million, which is 2.1% (4.0%) of turnover. Acquisition of machines and equipment accounts for most of the investments. The company made investments in electronics manufacturing in Estonia and Suzhou and in mechanics manufacturing in Hungary.  The investments in the new enterprise resource planning system totalled EUR 0.4 (0.6) million. The new enterprise resource planning system was put into use in Finland and Hungary during the year. The aim is to have the new system in place in the Group by the end of 2014. Depreciations were EUR 4.4 (4.5) million.

Turnover for 2013 was EUR 188.5 million and operating profit EUR 11.8 million.

OPERATIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Weakening of the global economy 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.

EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD

After being elected to the Board of Directors of Kitron ASA Tuomo Lähdesmäki informed that he will resign from his position as a member of the Board of Directors of Scanfil plc as of 24 February 2014.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2014 AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ PROPOSALS TO THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Scanfi plc’s Annual General Meeting will be held on 8 April 2014 at the company’s head office in Sievi, Finland.

Dividend for 2013

The company aims to pay dividends amounting to approximately 1/3 of its annual result on a regular basis. The parent company's distributable funds are EUR 13,967,426.34. The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 0.05 be paid from the unrestricted shareholders’ equity per share, for a total of EUR 2,886,521.95. The dividend matching day is 11 April 2014. The dividend will be paid to those shareholders who, on the matching day, are entered in the Company’s Register of Shareholders, kept by Euroclear Finland Ltd. The dividend payment day is 23 April 2014.

No significant changes have taken place in the company’s financial position since the end of the financial year. In the view of the Board of Directors, the proposed dividend pay-out will not put the company’s liquidity at risk.

The proposal of Scanfil plc's nomination committee to the General Meeting for the composition of Scanfil plc's Board of Directors will be published in connection with the invitation to the General Meeting.

The company publishes a notice of the Annual General Meeting later separately.

The company has a EUR 18.3 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.
Owing to the nature of the sector, the company´s order book covers only a short period of time and
does not give an accurate picture of future development.
