Scanfil Oyj - Interim report (Q1 and Q3)
SCANFIL GROUP’S INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY – 31 MARCH 2015
SCANFIL PLC INTERIM REPORT 29 APRIL 2015 9.45 A.M.
SCANFIL GROUP'S INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2015
January - March
- Turnover totaled to EUR 45.9 million (Q1 2014: 47.6) down 3.5%
- Operating profit EUR 2.7 million (Q1 2014: 2.5),
5.8% of turnover (Q1 2014: 5.3%)
- Profit for the review period was EUR 2.7 million (Q1 2014: 1.7)
- Earnings per share were EUR 0.05 (Q1 2014: 0.03)
Scanfil expects its turnover to increase by 2-8% in 2015. More turnover is
generated in the second half than in the first 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:
“I am satisfied with how Scanfil's profitability developed during the first
quarter. Despite the slight decrease in sales, operating profit also improved
relatively from the year before. The decrease in sales was mainly expected, and
turnover will focus on the second half of the year due to the allocation of
orders of a significant customer.”
BUSINESS TRENDS
Scanfil's turnover decreased as expected during the first quarter from the year
before and stood at EUR 45.9 million, showing a decrease of 3.5%.
Turnover increased particularly in the Medtech, Life Science and Environmental
Measurement customer group, mainly because of the acquisition of Schaltex Gmbh
on 1 April 2014. Within the Energy and Automation group, demand developed
positively in general.
In the Networks group, customer demand fell from last year. The decrease in
sales of the Urban Applications group was mainly caused by the allocation of
orders of a significant customer to the second half of the year. Previously,
the specific customer has allocated its orders to the first half. However, the
version control of a high-volume product will heavily shift volume production
to the second half of the year.
Turnover was divided between different customer groups as follows:
EUR million Q1/2015 Q1/2014 change percentage of turnover
MedtecH, Life Science,
Environmental Measurement 5.3 1.2 342% 12%
Networks 7.6 10.9 -30% 17%
Energy and Automation 15.5 11,8 31% 34%
Urban Applications 15.3 22.7 -33% 33%
Others 2.2 1,1 100% 5%
Total 45.9 47.6 -3%
Scanfil's activity and investments in obtaining new customers have expanded and
diversified the company's customer base. Thanks to the plant in Germany, the
company has good potential to expand its operations in important German
markets.
Our profitability improved slightly from last year's corresponding period, with
operating profit comprising 5.8% (5.3%) of turnover. The review period was the
seventh in succession when profitability was better than during the reference
period. Scanfil's continuous investments in the development of its operational
processes have improved efficiency and the ability to respond more
competitively to customer needs.
FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT
The Group's turnover for January - March was EUR 45.9 (47.6) million. The
breakdown of turnover by regional segment was as follows: Europe 63% (61%) and

million, representing 5.8% (5.3%) of turnover. The breakdown of operating
profit by regional segment was as follows: Europe 62% (51%) and Asia 38% (49%).

share were EUR 0.05 (0.03) and return on investment was 12.0% (10.6%). During
the period under review, the clear improvement in the result (63%) from the
previous year was largely caused by exchange rate gains from financial items.

OPERATIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

in the contract manufacturing market. In addition, Scanfil is exposed to risks
resulting from exchange rate fluctuations in its business operations.

principal
and cash flows of instalments and interest payments into euros. The interest and

against
fluctuations in exchange and interest rates.
