PKC Group Oyj 	INTERIM REPORT 29 OCTOBER 2009	8.15 a.m.                         

PKC GROUP'S INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-SEPTEMBER/2009                               

PKC Group's net sales in the January-September period decreased by 40.7% from   
the previous year to EUR 146.4 million (EUR 247.0 million). Operating profit was
EUR 2.0 million negative (25.0 million positive) and profit before taxes was EUR
0.7 million negative (22.7 million positive). Earnings per share were EUR 0.05  
negative (0.84 positive). The result is burdened by approximately EUR 5.0       
million in non-recurring expenses. Cash flows after investing activities during 
the report period were EUR 31.4 million (20.2 million).                         


HARRI SUUTARI, PRESIDENT AND CEO:                                               "The production volumes of the truck industry remained at about a third of the  
last year's level. The demand for electronics design and manufacturing services 
in the market weakened for about a fourth compared to last year. Despite the    
heavy reduction of the market, PKC Group's profitability has returned to a      
satisfactory level during the third quarter due to the executed rationalisation 
measures. Continued rationalisation measures and inputs in R&D puts trust in the
continuous improvement of PKC's competitive position. Due to the current market 
situation, the supplier base in the commercial vehicle industry is going through
radical changes, in turn opening up new possibilities for PKC."


OPERATING ENVIRONMENT                                                           

Wiring Harnesses business                      

The deliveries and new orders of heavy trucks saw a very sharp decline during   
the first nine months of the year in all of our market areas in comparison to   
the previous year. In Europe, our main market, the volume of deliveries and the 
value of the new orders received by our customers reached only a third of what  
it had been a year earlier. The amount of order bookings falling short by a     
third in comparison to delivery volumes indicates that the situation in Europe  
continues to weaken.                                                            

In South America, deliveries and new orders fell by about a third in comparison 
to the previous year. The order bookings exceeded cumulatively the delivery     
volumes, which indicates that the markets in Latin America are recovering.      

In North America both the volume of deliveries and the new orders received by   
our customers reached only a half of what it had been a year earlier. Order     
bookings were almost at the level of the deliveries. North American truck       
industry has only a minor impact on PKC Group's business.                       

Deliveries for the machinery industry in Europe reached approximately two-fifths
compared to the previous year. The production and deliveries of recreational    
products were halved in North America.                                          

PKC is participating in several competitive bid processes concerning new        
customer relationships. Success in these processes might lead to new long-term  
delivery relationships and the subsequent strengthening of the company's market 
position.                                                                       

Electronics business                                                            

Except for the Asian market, the industrial investments decreased substantially,
and the Group's industrial electronics deliveries were cut by about a fourth.

being monitored by the Group's Executive Board and discussed during external    
system audits.

STOCK OPTION SCHEMES

SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES                                              

The development of commercial vehicle industry in the near future in Europe has 
especially significant effect on PKC's wiring harnesses business's result. The  
start of growth requires positive and stable increase of Pan European national  
income. Other main uncertainties include price pressures on our final products, 
the significant fluctuation of currency exchange rates as well as the impact of 
the financial crisis on suppliers and the availability of raw materials and     
components. 

The principles, objectives and organisation of the company's risk management as 
well as key risk areas are described in the risk management section of the      
Corporate Governance guidelines, which are available on the company's website,  
www.pkcgroup.com.                                                               


OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE                                                          

It is currently difficult to estimate how long the economic downturn will last. 
We estimate that the low predictability in the demand in commercial vehicle     
industry and general uncertainty of financing will keep the demand for wiring   
harnesses exceptionally low.                                                    

We also estimate that demand for electronics design and manufacturing services  
in the market will weaken compared to last year.                                

We predict that the full-year net sales will decrease substantially and for     
operating profit to be negative. The full year estimation contains significantly
more uncertainty than usual due to the customer segments' exceptionally short   
outlooks. Thanks to the low need for capital expenditures and decrease of       
working capital, cash flows after investments are expected to be positive.      

PKC's balance sheet, liquidity and good customer relationships all enable
