PROJECTIONS FOR THE NEAR FUTURE

In 2013, the semiconductor industry's demand is estimated to take an upward turn
again, and the sensor industry is forecast to continue on its growth track.

The demand for sensor wafers manufactured by Okmetic is estimated to be fairly
stable throughout 2013. Due to normal seasonal fluctuation, the demand for
semiconductor wafers will be slower in the beginning of the year and is likely
to pick up in the second quarter.

Okmetic strives to outgrow the markets in its core business as a manufacturer of
demanding silicon wafers in the current financial year as well. Technology
sales, instead, have contracted significantly as a result of the solar cell
industry's plummeted price level, which means structural change in the company's
business. In 2013, the company's business will largely consist of silicon wafer
sales. Nevertheless, the forecast growth of silicon wafer sales will not fully
compensate for the steep decline in technology sales, which is why the company's
net sales will decrease in 2013. Technology sales are reported under the title
Other business as of 1 January 2013 due to their diminished weigh and varying
content.

The company retains existing guidance, according to which net sales and
operating profit for 2013 are estimated to remain under the level of 2012.

PRESIDENT KAI SEIKKU:"In the first quarter, net sales decreased as anticipated due to considerable
decline in technology sales. Demand for silicon wafers was low in the beginning
of the year but, nevertheless, showed minor growth in relation to the comparison
period. It was positive that the operating profit developed slightly better than
the company expected. In addition, profit for the period, earnings per share,
and net cash flow from operations strengthened clearly compared to the
corresponding period last year. Net cash flow was improved by the reimbursement
of income tax advances from 2012.

Reasonably good profitability was primarily based on successful cost management.
Minor extraordinary items and exchange rate changes improved the result of the
first quarter. By contrast, manufacturing of epitaxial wafers continued to be
unprofitable at the Allen production plant.

Sensor wafer sales showed strong, over 10 percent growth in the beginning of the
year. Due to good sales growth and decline in technology sales, the sensor
wafers' share of net sales exceeded the level of 50 percent for the first time
and amounted to as much as 60 percent. This development complies with Okmetic's
long-term strategy. Despite the global macroeconomic challenges, demand outlook
in the sensor industry is positive, since the amount of sensor applications
continues to increase in many areas of life. Okmetic is a market leader and a
forerunner as a supplier of demanding sensor wafers.

Demand for semiconductor wafers was low in the beginning of the year, as is
seasonally typical. Asia's relative proportion of the company's entire net sales
declined in the period under review. This was particularly due to the
discontinuation of technology sales, or solar crystal shipments, that have been
previously targeted to Asia, but also due to low demand in the Japanese market.
The first quarter of the calendar year is typically the last in Japan, which is
when the market usually slows down.

The silicon wafer market will partly pick up in the second quarter, and at the
moment it seems that demand will be strongest in the third quarter. The lower-
than-anticipated demand in the PC market and for certain consumer electronics
devices create uncertainty of demand in the ongoing second quarter.

The company is currently in discussions to licence crystal growing expertise.
Possible transactions will be communicated separately."

MARKETS

Customer industries sensor and semiconductor industries

Sensor industry

According to different estimates, the sale value of sensor industry increased by
approximately 6-10 percent in 2012 compared to the previous year. The
development of sensor sales has been positively influenced by the increased use
of micro sensors in many consumer electronics products. In 2013, the sale value
of sensor industry is estimated to increase by 8-11 percent compared to 2012. In
terms of volume, the sensor shipments are likely to clearly rise to a record
level in 2013. For the next few years, the sale value of sensor industry is
estimated to grow 8-13 percent annually. (IHS, Yole)

Semiconductor industry

In the last quarter of 2012, the semiconductor industry's sales in US dollars
followed the seasonal fluctuation pattern typical of the industry. Even though
the sales in the last quarter of 2012 grew from the previous year, the sales for
the whole year were 2.7 percent below the level of the previous year (SIA). The
markets are expected to recover from the second quarter of 2013 onwards and
therefore, the growth estimates for the whole year settle between 4.0 and 5.6
percent (TSMC, WSTS, Gartner, iSuppli). The growth is expected to continue also
in the following year.

Silicon wafer market

According to the report of 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 in 2012 calculated in
square inches equaled the previous year's surface area as was estimated earlier.
As a consequence of price erosion the silicon wafer market measured in US
dollars decreased in 2012. The surface area is estimated to grow around 4.4
percent in 2013 (Gartner).

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.

CHANGE IN SALES REPORTING PER CUSTOMER AREA

Okmetic has changed its sales reporting per customer area as of the beginning of
2013. According to the new policy, technology sales are reported under the title
Other business because of their diminished weigh and varying content.

SALES

In January-March, Okmetic's net sales were 16.4 (18.9) million euro. The net
sales decreased by 13.2 percent (decrease of 14.3%) compared to the
corresponding period last year mainly as a result of declining other business.
Okmetic's market share remained stable in product areas important to the
company, and the sales started to pick up towards the end of the first quarter
as was anticipated.

The demand for sensor wafers continued strong and in January-March, the value of
shipments was 10.5 percent higher than in the corresponding period last year.
The demand for sensor wafers is estimated to continue solid throughout the year
2013.

The downturn of the semiconductor industry began to gradually change direction
in the end of the first quarter, which improved semiconductor wafer sales.
Because of low demand during January-February, the value of shipments in
January-March was 10.1 percent lower than in the corresponding period last year.

During January-March, the value of shipments in other business was 0.5 million
euro.

review.

PROFITABILITY

January-March

In January-March, Okmetic's operating profit was 1.4 (1.5) million euro. The
operating profit accounted for 8.4 (8.1) percent of net sales. Profit for the
period was 1.2 (0.7) million euro. Basic earnings per share was 0.07 (0.04)
euro. Diluted earnings per share was 0.07 (0.04) euro.

FINANCING

The company's financial position is good. In January-March, net cash flow from
operations amounted to 0.8 (-1.0) million euro. Changes in working capital
weakened the net cash flow by 2.6 (3.9) million euro. The reimbursement of
income tax advances from 2012 improved the net cash flow of the period by 1.1
million euro.

On 31 March 2013, the company's interest-bearing liabilities amounted to 15.9
(1.0) million euro.

Okmetic announced in January that it has signed a five-year loan agreement for
10 million euro. The loan is used for the earlier announced investments and
general corporate purposes.

At the end of the period, the cash and cash equivalents amounted to 13.9 (7.2)
million euro. On 31 March 2013, the company's cash and cash equivalents were
2.0 million euro lower than the interest-bearing liabilities (on 31 March 2012,
the cash and cash equivalents were 6.2 million euro higher than the interest-
bearing liabilities). The company has ensured the sufficiency of cash funds by a
credit facility of 6.0 million euro. On 31 March 2013, 3.0 million euro of the
credit facility was in use (on 31 March 2012 the credit facility was undrawn).

Return on equity amounted to 7.8 (4.6) percent. The company's equity ratio was
67.3 (79.2) percent. Equity per share was 3.80 (3.69) euro.

INVESTMENTS

In January-March, Okmetic's capital expenditure amounted to 2.6 (2.6) million
euro. The investments concerned debottlenecking and automatisation of wafer
production lines.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

In January-March, the company expensed 0.6 (0.5) million euro in product
development projects. Product development costs accounted for 3.9 (2.8) percent
of the net sales. The product development costs have not been capitalised. The
product development has been allocated to SOI wafers as well as high and low
resistivity wafers.

PERSONNEL

In January-March, Okmetic employed 358 (351) people on average. At the end of
the period, Okmetic employed 354 (352) people of which 313 worked in Finland,
36 in the US, four in Japan, and one in Hong Kong.

BUSINESS RISKS

There have been no essential 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 have in recent years been mainly crystal sales to the solar
cell industry. Okmetic has existing polysilicon purchasing obligations partly
until 2015. As the price level of the solar cell market has dropped, the
validity of long-term polysilicon contracts typical of the industry may cause a
price risk.

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 exchange rate 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.

SHARES AND SHAREHOLDERS

On 31 March 2013, Okmetic Oyj's paid-up share capital, as entered in the Finnish
Trade Register, was 11,821,250.00 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 meetings. The company has one class of shares. The company's
shares are included in the Finnish book-entry securities system.

OWN SHARES AND DIRECTED SHARE ISSUES

On 12 February 2013, Okmetic Oyj's board of directors announced of its decision
to transfer a total of 18,540 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 8 February 2012. 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 in Okmetic shares and 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.

At the end of the reporting period Okmetic held 209,406 (241,543) own shares,
which is approximately (1.2) 1.4 percent of Okmetic's all shares and votes.

More information relating to own shares and directed share issues can be found
on the company website www.okmetic.com > Investors > Share information > Own
shares.

OTHER EVENTS IN THE INTERIM PERIOD

Okmetic's board of directors decided on the share reward programme for the
executive management group for 2013 as a part of the company's incentive and
commitment plan in its meeting on 11 February 2013. The purpose of the programme
is to commit and incentivise the executive management group to grow the
shareholder value in the long run.

The programme's earning period is calendar year 2013. The possible rewards of
the share reward programme will be paid in Okmetic shares and in a monetary
amount covering the taxes in accordance with reaching the targets that have been
set. The amount of the earned reward will be determined based on the realisation
of the set targets and the possible reward will be paid to the persons in the
programme after the financial statements for 2013 have been published. The
amount of the rewards corresponds to a maximum of 150,000 shares.

EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE INTERIM PERIOD

Annual general meeting on 10 April 2013

Okmetic Oyj's annual general meeting, which was held on 10 April 2013, adopted
the annual accounts and the consolidated annual accounts for 2012 and discharged
the company's management from liability. It was decided that a dividend of 0.25
euro per share would be distributed for 2012. The dividend was paid on Monday
22 April 2013. 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 a dividend, should the company's
financial situation permit this. The additional dividend, including all possible
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 as well as on the issuance of shares, the transfer of the company's own
shares, and the 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, Ms. Mervi Paulasto-Kröckel,
Mr. Mikko Puolakka, and Mr. Henri Österlund were re-elected as members of the
board of directors until the end of the next annual general meeting. The board
of directors elected Henri Österlund as its chairman and Tapani Järvinen as its
vice chairman in its organising 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 disclosed in a stock exchange release published on 10
April 2013.

Fair value estimation

The  group's  financial  instruments  that  are  measured at fair value comprise
derivatives  used for hedging and  held for trading, and  they are classified on
hierarchy level 2.

Fair values of level 2 instruments are based on other data than quoted prices in
active markets, but on the data from which the asset is observable, either
directly (i.e. price) or indirectly (i.e. derived from the prices).

Fair value determination

The fair values of currency derivatives are determined by using mark-to-market
method at the reporting date.

The fair values of electricity derivatives are determined on the basis of market
quotations and contract prices of the instruments at the reporting date.
