Scanfil is changing its estimate on the development of turnover and operating
profit in 2015. The new estimate includes the effect of PartnerTech AB on the
second half of the year.  Scanfil now estimates that its turnover for 2015 will
be EUR 350-365 million. Its operating profit before non-recurring items for
2015 is estimated to be EUR 14-18 million. 

Scanfil's previous estimate was as follows: Scanfil expects its turnover to
increase by 2-8% in 2015. This growth in turnover will come in the second half
of the year. The company is expecting its turnover to decrease slightly in the
first half of the year, and particularly in the second quarter, compared to
2014. Its operating profit before non-recurring items for 2015 is expected to
be EUR 13-17 million. 

Petteri Jokitalo, CEO of Scanfil plc:"The turnover for the first two quarters, especially the second quarter, fell
short of the year before, as was expected. Reasons for this include the demand
of one major customer which will, unlike earlier years, focus on the second
half of the year. Volume deliveries to the customer in question are already
about to commence and there are clear signs of a more general recovery in
demand. 

In spite of declining sales, we succeeded in maintaining our operating profit
at a satisfactory level, for which Scanfil's employees are to thank. 

Our offer to purchase PartnerTech shares succeeded, and we purchased 98.6% of
the shares during the term of the offer. With regard to the remaining shares,
we are commencing the compulsory acquisition process. 

By uniting our forces with PartnerTech, we will significantly expand our global
customer base, plant network and service portfolio. The companies' strategies
are aligned and the purchase will provide us with access to the US market and
allow us to expand into the extremely interesting Guangzhou technology hub area
in China, among other things. We believe that the merger will rapidly benefit
our customers, employees and shareholders. 

The takeover and integration process has already begun, and it will continue
during the second half of the year.  Our aim is to integrate the companies,
realise the synergy benefits and improve the profitability of the purchased
businesses to a sustainable level over the next two years. 

We will be a leading EMS contract manufacturer in the Nordic countries and a
significant EMS company on a global scale. The combined turnover of the current
businesses of the companies for 2014 amounted to approximately EUR 460 million,
and the companies had about 3,000 employees.” 

BUSINESS TRENDS

Scanfil's turnover decreased during the first quarter from the year before and
stood at EUR 98.8 million, showing a decrease of 8.7%. 

Turnover increased particularly in the Medtech, Life Science and Environmental
Measurement business group, mainly because of the acquisition of Schaltex Gmbh
on 1 April 2014. Demand developed favourably in the Energy and Automation
business group, but fell slightly short of expectations. In the
Networks-business group, customer demand decreased overall year-on-year and was
clearly lower than expected. 

The decrease in sales of the Urban Applications group was expected due to the
demand of a significant customer being postponed to the second half of the
year. All in all, however, the actual demand in this business group was
stronger than expected. 

Turnover was divided between different customer groups as follows:

EUR million                H1/2015  H1/2014    change  % of turnover
MedTech, Life Science,                                              
Environmental Measurement      9.9      5.5    80.0 %         10.0 %
Networks                      18.3     23.5  - 22.0 %         18.5 %
Energy and Automation         31.6     30.3     4.3 %         32.0 %
Urban Applications            36.4     46.6  - 22.0 %         36.8 %
Others                         2.6      2.3    11.3 %          2.6 %
Total                         98.8    108.2   - 8.7 %               



The company took the decision to make significant equipment investments related
to the manufacture of sheet metal mechanics at the Sievi plant.  The new
equipment represents state-of-the-art technology and will improve the
competitiveness of the Sievi plant through increased efficiency and expanding
service ability. The total value of the investments is approximately EUR 2.2
million, and they will be made by the end of the year. 

On 25 May 2015 Scanfil Oyj announced a recommended cash offer to the
shareholders in PartnerTech AB  to tender all shares in PartnerTech to Scanfil
for SEK 35 per share. 

On 25 June 2015 Scanfil Oyj announced that all conditions for completion of the
offer mentioned above have been fulfilled and the offer was therefore declared
unconditional. During the acceptance period 12 317 373 shares have been
tendered in the offer, corresponding to 97.3 percent of the shares and the
voting rights in PartnerTech. At the same time Scanfil announced, that the
acceptance period has been extended until and including 9 July 2015. Scanfil
announced on 13 July 2015 that the shares tendered in the public offer by the
end of the extension of the acceptance period on 9 July 2015 amounted to
12,487,738, corresponding to 98.6 percent of the shares and votes in
PartnerTech. Scanfil decided not to further extend the acceptance period and
does not intend to acquire shares in PartnerTech outside the compulsory
acquisition process. 

The acquisition date of PartnerTech Ab was 2 July 2015, and the acquired
holding was at that time 97.3% of the equity shares and voting rights. The
goodwill from the acquisition primarily comprises customer relationships and
expected synergies from the merger of Scanfil Group and PartnerTech Ab
businesses. The fair value of the PartnerTech shares on the acquisition date
amounted to EUR 46.4 million. The preparation of the acquisition cost
calculation and allocation of the purchase price is still underway at the time
of publishing the interim report. The Group's consolidated turnover for
January-June 2015 would have amounted to EUR 238.6 million and profit to EUR
2.2 million, had the merger taken place on 1 January 2015. 
Scanfil has signed a financing agreement with Nordea Bank Finland Plc to
finance the acquisition of PartnerTech Ab. 

PartnerTech is a Swedish global contract manufacturer and supplier of
aftermarket services operating in a number of markets and in a number of
geographies. In January - June 2015 PartnerTech´s net sales amounted to SEK
1,304 million, its operating profit to SEK -8 million, the net income to SEK
-17 million, balance sheet total was SEK 1,302 million and equity SEK 400
million.

EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD

The acquisition of PartnerTech Ab shares was a significant event after the

Business Trends. 

On 13 July 2015, Scanfil published summons to an Extraordinary General Meeting
to be held on 20 August 2015 at 10:00 a.m. at the company's head office. 

FUTURE PROSPECTS

Scanfil is changing its estimate of the development of turnover and operating
profit in 2015. The new estimate includes the effect of PartnerTech AB during
the second half of the year.  Scanfil now estimates that its turnover for 2015
will be EUR 350-365 million. Its operating profit before non-recurring items
for 2015 is estimated to be EUR 14-18 million. 

Scanfil's previous estimate was as follows: Scanfil expects its turnover to
increase by 2-8% in 2015. This growth in turnover will come in the second half
of the year. The company is expecting its turnover to decrease slightly in the
first half of the year, and particularly in the second quarter, compared to
2014. Its operating profit before non-recurring items for 2015 is expected to
be EUR 13-17 million. 

Turnover for 2014 was EUR 214.5 million and operating profit EUR 16.2 million.

OPERATIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

A weakening of the global economy and a decrease in the international demand
for capital goods could have a negative effect on the development of the
business operations of Scanfil's customers and could subsequently reduce demand
in the contract manufacturing market.  In addition, Scanfil is exposed to risks
resulting from exchange rate fluctuations in its business operations. 

Scanfil's business operations have expanded in terms of the plant network,
customer base and geographical regions with the acquisition of PartnerTech.
However, the essential functions are the same as before. No new significant
risks have been identified in conjunction with the acquisition of PartnerTech,
and no essential changes have taken place in the risks related to Scanfil's
business during the year.  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. 

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Financial Reporting standard, applying the following accounting policies with
the financial statements for 2014. 

All figures in the financial report have been rounded and consequently the sum
of the individual figures can deviate from the sum figure. The figures are
