Petteri Jokitalo, CEO of Scanfil plc: "Scanfil's strong performance in the second quarter shows that the selected strategy works. The factory network is now optimized, and the cost structure is clearly lower and more competitive, enabling profitable business. In the second quarter, turnover increased by about 10% compared to the first quarter. Growth was driven by generally picked up customer demand and several strong new customer ramp-ups. Operating profit continued to develop favorably, both in absolute terms and in relative terms, being 5.3% of turnover in the second quarter. The fixed costs of the closed Vantaa and Hungarian factories were still burdening  the Q2 result, and the production ramp-ups in Myslowice and Sievi contributed extra costs. The restructuring of the factory network has now been completed, and I expect to see the positive results in full impact during the rest of the year.  We are well on the way to targeted 6% operating profit. Net gearing decreased, and the return on equity was 18.5%. Many of our customers have indicated that the strengthen economic development, especially in North America and Europe, will improve their business outlook. This can also be seen in higher demand in Scanfil’s services. Based on this, we have specified our future outlook for 2017. Our new guidance for the turnover is 500 – 530 MEUR and operating profit 28-31 MEUR. I thank Scanfil’s personnel for the hard work of meeting our company goals."
