PROJECTIONS FOR THE NEAR FUTURE

The growth estimates of customer industries for 2012 have been lowered during
the summer and early autumn due to the increased uncertainty of the world
economy.

The development of sensor wafer demand is estimated to be somewhat more stable
than the demand for semiconductor wafers in the end of 2012.

The outlook for technology sales is burdened by the strongly lowered price level
throughout the solar cell industry's value chain.

The company revised its guidance given in February 2012 with a stock exchange
release published on 20 September 2012. Factors behind the revision of the
outlook were the difficult market situation of the solar cell industry, the
uncertain outlook of world economy and the operating profit deficit of early
2012, which, contrary to expectations, cannot be covered during the calendar
year. The operating profit deficit was generated when a disturbance in the
process of a supplier of gas, which is used in the manufacture of epi-coated
wafers, caused a long shutdown at the Allen production facility in the US.
According to the revised guidance, the net sales in 2012 are estimated to settle
approximately at the level of 2011. Operating profit is estimated to remain
slightly under the level of 2011. According to the earlier guidance, Okmetic's
net sales and operating profit were estimated to exceed the level of 2011.

PRESIDENT KAI SEIKKU:"The positive development of the demand for silicon wafers which started in the
second quarter continued in the third quarter, which raised the demand to the
highest level of the year, as was anticipated. The shipment value of sensor
wafers increased by 10.7 percent in the third quarter and the shipment value of
semiconductor wafers by 21.2 percent compared to the corresponding period last
year. Thanks to the third quarter, the shipment value of sensor wafers in
January-September rose to the level of 2011 and the shipment value of
semiconductor wafers in January-September exceeded the level of 2011 by five
percent.

During the period under review, Okmetic performed better than the silicon wafer
industry and the company's market share in product groups important to the
company continued on a growth track of many years rising again to a record level
in the third quarter. The fact that the semiconductor market's growth cycle of
only few months saw a clear change already during the summer months is unusual
but tells that customers are minimizing their inventory levels in the uncertain
economic situation.Several customer indications predict that the markets will
grow in early 2013, and therefore it seems that the slow demand marking the
second half of the year remains short-term and does not affect the good long-
term growth prospects of Okmetic's central customer areas.

Technology sales almost halved (down 49.2%) in July-September from the value of
the comparison period. The long-term solar crystal shipment contracts terminated
in July. The industry is in the middle of consolidation development. The
strongly declined price level causes lowered profitability and uncertainty in
demand. Even in the challenging times ahead, Okmetic aims to develop its
competences and retain its market position in the industry which is assessed to
be a growth area in the long run.

The operating profit remained at a good level of around 14 percent. Also the
favourable development of the net cash flow from operations in the third quarter
in relation to the corresponding period last year was positive. Compared to the
strong third quarter in 2011, the operating profit in July-September was weighed
down especially by technology business and epi-coated wafers, whose demand has
decreased quickly due to market trends.

Okmetic will continue its investments in products the demand for which will grow
faster than the average growth of the markets. The capacity extension of SOI
wafers published in 2011 is proceeding according to plans. Furthermore, the
company will increase its in-house silicon wafer production capacity in the
coming years by eliminating productional bottlenecks at the Vantaa plant. At the
same time, capabilities to manufacture new products and product groups, whose
demand is growing, will be created.

In the last quarter of the year, the sensor and semiconductor wafer demand is
estimated to be at a higher level than on the quiet comparison period last year
although the market is slowing down in the end of the year due to seasonal
changes and economic uncertainties."

MARKETS

Customer industries sensor, semiconductor, and solar cell industries

Sensor industry

In 2012, the sale value of sensor industry is estimated to grow 9-13 percent
compared to the sale value of 2011 (8.6-10.2 billion US dollars). One of the
fastest growing sectors is MEMS products for consumer applications such as
microphones and gyroscopes. In the coming years auto-focus actuators, MEMS
oscillators and MEMS switches are estimated to be significant growth areas in
consumer applications. (IHS iSuppli, IC Insights, Yole)

Semiconductor industry

During the third quarter, the US dollar-based sales of the semiconductor
industry have remained at the same level as in the second quarter of the year.
Even though in the second and third quarter the dollar-based sales have been
higher than in the first quarter, the growth forecasts for the whole year have
been revised downwards. The estimates for the sale development in 2012 settle
now at a level of -1 and +0.6 percent of annual growth (IHS iSuppli, IC
Insights, Gartner, WSTS).

Solar cell industry

The volume growth in 2012 is predicted to level off considerably from the
previous year's high level of around 40 percent. The overproduction of the
industry is still significant, although some uncompetitive capacity has exited
the market. (Solarbuzz)

The solar cell industry is undergoing a change towards a more stable market,
where solar electricity will be produced competitively without government
subsidies.

Silicon wafer market

According to the estimate published in October by SMG, the group of silicon
wafer suppliers in SEMI (a global umbrella organisation for semiconductor
materials and equipment industry), the surface area of silicon wafer shipments
calculated in square inches is estimated to grow by a percent in 2012 compared
to 2011. The annual growth rate of the surface area is estimated to be six
percent in 2013 and 2014.

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 expertise. Okmetic supplies primarily 150mm and 200mm
wafers. The sensor/MEMS industry is Okmetic's central growth area. The MEMS
market grows as 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, as well as different solutions related to power supply and
efficiency improvement.

SALES

In January-September, Okmetic's net sales decreased by 4.1 (increased by 12.5)
percent from the previous year amounting to 62.4 (65.1) million euro. The reason
behind the decrease was the significant fall in the sales directed to the solar
cell industry compared to the corresponding period last year. The strengthening
of silicon wafer demand that began in the end of the first quarter continued
still in the third quarter. The company's market share grew in the product
groups which are important to the company, and typical to the industry, the
sales were strong during the third quarter.

In January-September, the value of sensor wafer shipments was at the same level
as last year. The demand for sensor wafers was strong in the third quarter, and
the value of shipments increased by 10.7 percent compared to the corresponding
period last year. The demand for sensor wafers is estimated to remain strong.

The strong demand for semiconductor wafers that started in the first quarter
continued in the third quarter. In July-September, the value of shipments
increased by 21.2 percent compared to the corresponding period last year. The
value of shipments in January-September was 5.4 percent higher than in the
corresponding period last year. The demand for semiconductor wafers is estimated
to strengthen in the last quarter compared to the corresponding period last
year.

In January-September, technology sales comprised mainly solar material sales.
Due to the solar cell industry's market changes and the termination of Okmetic's
long-term shipment contracts Okmetic's technology sales decreased by 26.3
percent in January-September compared to the corresponding period last year. In
the third quarter, the sales decreased by 49.2 percent compared to the
corresponding period last year. There is uncertainty related to the demand for
technology sales in the near future caused by the industry's market trends. Due
to the industry's overproduction the price levels have declined significantly
during 2012.

euro of the credit facility was in use.

Return on equity amounted to 10.7 (18.4) percent and return on investment to
14.2 (19.5) percent. The company's equity ratio was 72.8 (79.3) percent. Equity
per share was 3.71 (3.69) euro.

INVESTMENTS

In January-September, Okmetic's capital expenditure amounted to 9.8 (7.5)
million euro.

The investments concerned mainly the board's decision in April 2011 to increase
SOI wafer production capacity by extending the Vantaa plant. The around 30
million euro investment programme, to be implemented in 2011-2013, includes the
plant extension and different kinds of production equipment. Building of the
plant extension started in August 2011. The investment programme is proceeding
according to plans.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

In January-September, the company expensed 1.7 (1.7) million euro in product
development projects. Product development costs accounted for 2.7 (2.7) percent
of net sales. The product development costs have not been capitalised. Product
development has been allocated to SOI wafers and high and low resistivity
wafers.

PERSONNEL

On average, Okmetic employed 369 (365) people in January-September. At the end
of the period, Okmetic employed 365 (350) people of which 322 worked in Finland,
38 in the US, four in Japan, and one in Hong Kong.

BUSINESS RISKS IN THE NEAR FUTURE

Despite the prolonged euro crisis there have been no significant changes in the
company's near future business risks and uncertainties.

Okmetic's silicon wafer sales are targeted at the sensor and semiconductor
producers in the electronics industry. The demand for semiconductor wafers is
sensitive to economic fluctuations and changes in the market situation can be
sudden and dramatic. The demand for sensor wafers is more stable. The
proliferation of sensors in consumer electronics applications may, however,
increase the susceptibility of this market too to economic fluctuations.
Technology sales are solar material sales, which are predominantly affected by
the economic situation of the solar cell industry.

Okmetic's share of the global silicon wafer market is around one percent and the
market prices have a notable effect on the price development of Okmetic's
products. The company only has considerable pricing power with its own special
products. The pricing of other wafers is mainly based on global market price.

Okmetic operates globally, and therefore the company's business operations are
affected by risks due to currency fluctuations, consisting of the cash flows of
purchases and sales. A significant part of sales are conducted in US dollars.
Despite hedging, the company remains exposed to exchange rate fluctuations.

Substantial volumes of electricity are used in Okmetic's production. Despite
hedging, the company is exposed to fluctuations in the price of electricity.

The challenging global economic situation may create an increased liquidity risk
for part of the customers.

The company's risks and uncertainty factors are dealt more profoundly in the
company's annual report of 2011.

SHARES AND SHAREHOLDERS

On 30 September 2012, Okmetic Oyj's paid-up share capital, as entered in the
