OKMETIC INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2011


OKMETIC OYJ STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE    27 APRIL 2011 AT 8.05 A.M.

OKMETIC INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2011

Unless otherwise stated, figures in parenthesis refer to the corresponding
period in the previous year.

JANUARY-MARCH IN BRIEF:

The net sales amounted to 22.1 (16.5) million euro, up 33.5%.
Operating profit was 2.8 (0.8) million euro corresponding to 12.8% of net sales.
Profit for the period was 2.7 (1.0) million euro.
Profit for the period was improved by 0.7 million euro due to recognition of
deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward.
Basic earnings per share for the period were 0.16 (0.06) euro.
The net cash flow from operations amounted to -1.3 (2.4) million euro.

PROJECTIONS FOR 2011

The net sales and operating profit for the first half of 2011 are estimated to
clearly exceed the level of the corresponding period in 2010. Reaching these
estimates means that the current positive market situation must not see any
significant changes during the first half of the year.

PRESIDENT KAI SEIKKU:"The first quarter saw growth in all product groups. The best results came from
sensor wafers, the sales of which in euro increased by 47% compared to the
corresponding period last year. Also technology sales mainly consisting of solar
materials went very well between January-March. With semiconductor wafers, the
growth was more moderate in consequence of the industry's seasonal variation.

The net sales and operating profit exceeded the target level due to positive
progress in February and March. Together with the prospects for the second
quarter, this positive trend gave reason to adjust the estimate for the first
half of the year during the period.

The natural disaster in Japan in March did not have a significant effect on
sales or result for the first quarter. It is still hard to estimate the
potential long-term direct and indirect effects of the disaster on the
electronics industry's value chain and on Okmetic's business.




As a counterweight to the positive financial performance, the net cash flow from
operations in January-March included items that significantly weakened the cash
flow compared to the corresponding period last year. Along with the increase in
the normal net working capital items, these included i.a. advance payments for
the long-term supply agreement for polysilicon and bonus payments for personnel
from the financial year 2010. For the financial year 2009, coinciding with the
downturn in the semiconductor market, no bonuses were paid.

In January, Okmetic invested in opening production bottlenecks by reclaiming ten
crystal growing furnaces owned by the Norwegian company NorSun, which were
already located at the Vantaa production plant. The 3.3 million euro investment
is part of the company's growth strategy."

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

From the start of 2011 Okmetic has changed the place where changes in fair
values of currency derivative contracts and their realised profits and losses
are presented in the statement of comprehensive income. In line with the new
policy, the changes in the fair values of currency derivative contracts and
their realised profits and losses are presented with the financial income and
expenses. Previously these items were presented with other operating income and
expenses.

The company's view is that the operating profit, thanks to the change, will
provide better and more significant information regarding the development of the
company's financial result and the factors contributing to it. A corresponding
change has been made in all previous periods' figures presented in this interim
report.

MARKETS

Customer industries sensor, semiconductor, and solar cell industries

Sensor industry

In 2011, the sale value of sensor industry is estimated to grow 9 percent
compared to the sale value of 2010 (7.1 billion US dollars). One of the fastest
growing sectors is MEMS products for consumer applications such as microphones,
gyroscopes and picoprojectors (IHS, ISuppli). Nowadays, silicon-on-insulator
(SOI) technology is widely used in the manufacture of these next generation
products, and the share of SOI technology is estimated to continue its growth.
Okmetic is amongst the pioneering suppliers who provide products and services
based on SOI technology to the sensor industry.

Semiconductor industry

The US dollar based growth estimate for the semiconductor industry's sales in
2011 is between 6 and 10 percent (Semiconductor Intelligence, ICInsights,
Gartner, IHS, ISuppli). Every quarter of the year is expected to have a positive
growth rate, and it is expected that the market will return to normal quarterly
fluctuation in 2012 (Semiconductor Intelligence). The growth will be supported
by some components' higher average price than estimated earlier. This is a
result of the Japan's earthquake's effects on production. (IHS, Isuppli)

Solar cell industry

The growth of solar cell industry's demand has moderated after the exceptionally
strong growth in 2010. Due to the rapidly growing production capacity, stock
levels have risen throughout the industry's supply chain (Solarbuzz).

The major European solar energy users, especially Germany and Italy, reduce
feed-in tariffs in the middle of the on-going year, which increases the
uncertainty related to the market development in the latter half of the year.

Silicon wafer market

According to the report published in February 2011 by SMG, the group of silicon
wafer suppliers in SEMI, the volume of wafer shipments in the silicon wafer
industry in 2010 soared up 40 percent compared to the shipment volumes in 2009
reaching a new record level. The accumulated net sales rose 45 percent to 9.7
billion US dollars from 6.7 billion US dollars in the previous year. Similar to
semiconductor market, silicon wafer market is estimated to grow moderately in
2011.

Okmetic's central customer areas in the silicon wafer market

In line with its strategy, Okmetic seeks for special areas of the entire silicon
wafer market that have greater growth rates than the market average and in which
the company has special know-how. Okmetic supplies primarily 150mm and 200mm
wafers. The sensor/MEMS industry is Okmetic's central growth area. The MEMS
market grows as the portable consumer products, automotive electronics, and
industrial process control increase.

In the semiconductor market, Okmetic's growth areas include discrete and power
semiconductors. The growth areas of these markets are i.a. components used in
the production of renewable energy, increasing automotive electronics, portable
consumer products, developing applications of the medical and well-being
industries as well as industrial process controlling.

EVENTS AFTER THE INTERIM REPORT PERIOD

Okmetic's board of directors has approved plans to increase the group's SOI
wafer production capacity by extending the Vantaa plant. The around 30 million
euro investment includes the plant extension and different kinds of production
equipment.

This investment, together with the on-going SOI equipment investments, more than
triples the Vantaa plant's current SOI wafer production capacity. More
information on the investment is given in the stock exchange release published
earlier today.

At the same time, the board of directors approved the company's revised long-
term financial objectives. The company's aim is that the organic net sales grow
a minimum of 10 percent annually and that the operating profit is over 10
percent of the net sales.

The company's previous long-term financial objectives stated that the organic
net sales grow a minimum of 6 percent annually and that the operating profit is
over 10 percent of the net sales. At the same the company discarded other
specifically defined long-term financial objectives such as a 50 percent equity
ratio and consistent annual dividend distribution.


SALES

In January-March, Okmetic's net sales increased by 33.5 (11.3) percent from the
previous year amounting to 22.1 (16.5) million euro. The growth of net sales was
supported especially by good sensor industry demand. Okmetic succeeded to
increase its market share in the product groups which are important to the
company.

Technology     22%     16%     15%      28%


In January-March, the value of sensor wafer sales was 47 percent higher than in
the corresponding period last year.

The resumption of semiconductor industy's good economic trend had a positive
influence on the semiconductor wafer sales. In January-March, the sale value of
these wafers was 7 percent higher than in the corresponding period last year.

In January-March, technology sales comprised mainly of solar crystal sales.

Sales per market area

              1.1.-   1.1.-   1.1.-    1.1.-

Asia          32%     31%     32%      30%


In the first quarter, sales per market area were distributed quite evenly. The
proportion of Europe of the total net sales grew during the period under review.

PROFITABILITY

In January-March, Okmetic's operating profit was 2.8 (0.8) million euro. The
operating profit accounted for 12.8 (4.8) percent of net sales. The profit for
the period amounted to 2.7 (1.0) million euro. Profit for the period was
improved by 0.7 million euro due to recognition of deferred tax assets relating
to tax losses carried forward. Basic earnings per share were 0.16 (0.06) euro.

FINANCING

The company's financial situation is good. In January-March, the net cash flow
from operations amounted to -1.3 (2.4) million euro. The cash flow from
operations was weakened by 6.0 (0.3) million euro due to changes in working
capital available to business operations. This figure includes normal changes in
net working capital worth of 1.1 million euro. Other items are advance payments
for the supply agreement for polysilicon, share reward scheme's withholdings,
white-collar employees' bonuses for the financial year 2010 as well as currency
derivative contracts' expenses.

On 31 March 2011, the company's liabilities amounted to 1.0 (1.0) million euro.
At the end of the period, cash and cash equivalents amounted to 10.4 (9.3)
million euro. In addition to this, the company had 3.0 million euro worth of
investments in fixed-income funds. On 31 March 2011, the company's cash and cash
equivalents exceeded the interest-bearing liabilities by 12.4 million euro (on
31 March 2010, cash and cash equivalents were 6.8 million euro higher than
interest-bearing liabilities).

Return on equity amounted to 18.3 (8.4) percent. The company's equity ratio was
78.9 (76.3) percent. Equity per share was 3.63 (2.97) euro.

INVESTMENTS

In January-March, Okmetic's capital expenditure amounted to 3.9 (0.0) million
euro.

Okmetic used its call option in January to purchase the ten crystal growing
furnaces owned by the Norwegian company NorSun, and located at the Vantaa
production plant. The total amount of the investment was 3.3 million euro.

As a result of the investment, Okmetic's own crystal growing capacity increased
significantly. The acquired furnaces are meant to be used for the production of
solar crystals, and in the future for the crystal growing required for the own
production and contract manufacturing of silicon wafers. Okmetic thus secures
sufficient production capacity for the needs of coming years.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

In January-March, the company expensed 0.6 (0.5) million euro in long-term
product development projects. Product development costs accounted for 2.7 (2.9)
percent of net sales. Product development costs have not been capitalised.
Product development has been allocated to sensor wafers and crystal growing that
are important to Okmetic.

PERSONNEL

On average, Okmetic employed 347 (329) people in January-March. At the end of
the period, 311 of the company's employees worked in Finland, 37 in the US, and
three in Japan.

OKMETIC'S CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Okmetic Oyj's annual general meeting, which was held on 7 April 2011, adopted
the financial statements for 2010 and discharged the company's management from
liability. It was decided that a dividend of 0.30 euro per share would be
distributed for 2010. The dividend was paid on Tuesday 19 April 2011. The annual
general meeting decided also, in accordance with the proposal of the board of
directors, to authorise the board of directors to decide upon its discretion on
the payment of an additional dividend, should the company's financial situation
permit this. The additional dividend, including any number of separate decisions
on dividend payment, may amount up to a maximum of 0.40 euro per share and
15,000,000 euro in total. Moreover, the general meeting approved the proposal of
the board of directors to authorise the board of directors to decide on the
repurchase and/or the acceptance as pledge of the company's own shares,
transferring rights to the company's own shares, issuance of shares and issuance
of special rights entitling to shares.

It was decided that there would be five members on the company's board of
directors. Mr. Tapani Järvinen, Mr. Hannu Martola, Mr. Pekka Salmi and Mr. Henri
Österlund were re-elected as members of the board of directors until the end of
the next annual general meeting, and Ms. Mervi Paulasto-Kröckel was elected as a
new member. The board of directors elected Henri Österlund as its chairman and
Tapani Järvinen as its vice chairman in its organisation meeting held
immediately after the annual general meeting.

Authorised Public Accountant PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy was elected as auditor,
with APA Mikko Nieminen having the principal responsibility.

Authorisations given to the board of directors and other decisions of the annual
general meeting have been notified in a stock exchange release published on 7
April 2011.

BUSINESS RISKS IN THE NEAR FUTURE

There have been no essential changes in the company's near future business risks
and uncertainties. So far, the natural disaster in Japan has not known to have
added business risks. It is still hard to estimate the potential long-term
direct and indirect effects of the events in Japan on the electronics industry's
value chain and on Okmetic's business.

Other most significant factors causing uncertainty for Okmetic's business in the
near future are related especially to the sensitivity of semiconductor wafer
demand to economic fluctuations and to the rapid and strong changes in the
market situation. The current strong demand may create excessive orders and
stock in the market. Clearing this stock may decrease demand significantly. The
company only has considerable pricing power with its own special products. The
pricing of other wafers is mainly based on global market price. The most common
trade currency in the field is the US dollar. The company's result is affected
by US dollar's strong currency changes against the euro.

The fact that Okmetic's main production facilities are located in the relatively
expensive euro zone places cost pressure for the company. Other challenges
include maintaining market leadership position in our special fields, together
with meeting the demand gearing towards bigger wafer sizes.

The company risks and uncertainty factors are dealt more profoundly in the
company's annual report of 2010.

SHARES AND SHAREHOLDERS

On 31 March 2011, Okmetic Oyj's paid-up share capital, as entered in the Finnish
trade register, was 11,821,250 euro. The number of shares was 17,287,500. The
shares have no nominal value attached. Each share entitles its holder to one
vote at general meeting. The company has one class of shares.

SHARE PRICE DEVELOPMENT AND TRADING

A total of 3.6 (2.8) million shares were traded between 1 January and 31 March
2011, representing 20.8 (16.3) percent of the weighted average of share total of
17.3 (17.0) million during the period. The lowest quotation of the reporting
period was 5.30 (2.98) euro, and the highest 6.65 (3.51) euro, with the average
being 5.90 (3.18) euro. The closing quotation for the period was 6.55 (3.41)
euro. At the end of the period, the market capitalisation amounted to 113.2
(59.0) million euro.

OWN SHARES

On 16 February 2011, Okmetic's board of directors decided on a transfer of
125,390 own shares, held by the company, as a part of the company's share-based
incentive scheme for the executive management group, of which the company has
given a stock exchange release on 11 February 2010. All the shares were issued
to the members of the executive management group in deviation from the
shareholders' pre-emptive rights (directed share issue).

The rewards of the share reward programme were paid on one hand in Okmetic
shares and on the other hand in a monetary amount covering taxes. The directed
share issue without payment was executed in full as there was no consideration
related to the issue. The share issue did not affect the share capital of the
company. At the end of the period, the company held a total of 77,854 shares,
which is approximately 0.5 percent of Okmetic's all shares and votes.

CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND TABLES 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2011 (unaudited)

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS
34, Interim Financial Reporting.

In preparing these interim financial statements, Okmetic has followed the same
accounting policies as in the financial statements for 2010 except for the
effect of changes required by the adoption of the following new or revised
standards and interpretations as of 1 January 2011:

IAS 24 (revised), Related Party Disclosures
IAS 32 (amendment), Financial Instruments: Presentation - Classification of
Rights Issues
IFRIC 19, Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments
IFRIC 14 (amendment), Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement
Improvements to IFRSs, May 2010

The adoption of the aforementioned standards and interpretations has not had an
effect on the figures presented from the reporting period.

From the start of 2011 Okmetic has changed the place where changes in fair
values of currency derivative contracts and their realised profits and losses
are presented in the statement of comprehensive income. In line with the new
policy, the changes in the fair values of currency derivative contracts and
their realised profits and losses are presented with the financial income and
expenses. Previously these items were presented with other operating income and
expenses.

The company's view is that the operating profit, thanks to the change, will
provide better and more significant information regarding the development of the
company's financial result and the factors contributing to it. A corresponding
change has been made in all previous periods' figures presented in this interim
report.
