Petteri Jokitalo, CEO of Scanfil plc:
“We developed strongly in 2014. Our employee satisfaction, our ability to
maintain high quality and our customer satisfaction improved. The acquisition
of the Hamburg plant enabled us to expand our customer base and gain a strong
foothold in the strategically important German market. We have systematically
expanded our customer base to cover new industries. Currently, our customers
mainly operate in the following sectors: energy and automation, medical
technology, environmental measurement solutions and communication as well as
products and systems related to urbanisation. A diverse customer base in
interesting sectors offers us a large number of growth opportunities. 

I am pleased with the development of our turnover and profitability. We have
succeeded in increasing our turnover and profitability year-on-year for six
consecutive quarters. 

We are continuing to aim for profitable growth in 2015. In customer
acquisition, we will be focusing on Central Europe and China in particular. We
will continue our efforts to improve our processes and efficiency. Our goal is
to make Scanfil an even more attractive partner for customers and an even
better workplace for employees. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Scanfil's employees, customers,
suppliers, partners and shareholders for their trust and cooperation in 2014.” 

GROUP STRUCTURE

The Scanfil Group comprises the parent company Scanfil plc and the Scanfil EMS
subgroup. The Scanfil EMS subgroup, in turn, comprises the parent company
Scanfil EMS Oy, subsidiaries and the associated company Greenpoint Oy (Scanfil
EMS Oy's share of ownership 40%). Scanfil EMS Oy's subsidiaries are the Chinese
subsidiaries Scanfil (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. and Scanfil (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd., the
Hungarian subsidiaries Scanfil Kft. (Budapest) and Rozália Invest Kft. 
(Budapest),the German subsidiary Scanfil GmbH as well as the Estonia-based
Scanfil Oü (Pärnu). The Scanfil EMS group has a 100% holding in all of its
subsidiaries. 

DEVELOPMENT OF OPERATIONS

Scanfil's business operations continued to develop favourably in the fourth
quarter of 2014. Year-on-year, its turnover increased by more than 9%, and its
operating profit grew by nearly 30%. 

Its full-year turnover increased by nearly 14% to EUR 214.5 million, and its
full-year operating profit was EUR 16.2 million, or 7.6% of turnover. In
addition to organic growth, its turnover increased as a result of the
acquisition of the German contract manufacturer Schaltex Systems GmbH (now
Scanfil GmbH) in early April. The growth of Scanfil's operating profit was
driven by increased turnover and successful productivity improvement and cost
control as well as other development measures, such as the deployment of a new
ERP system. 

Scanfil has actively expanded its customer base to cover various industries,
which serves to reduce economic fluctuations. 

Up to now, Scanfil has divided its customers into communication and
professional electronics customers. However, its customer base has diversified,
and a more detailed categorisation of customers is justifiable. Its new
customer groups are: 

- Energy and Automation: power production and electricity transmission systems,
process control systems and systems related to 
  energy efficiency, such as frequency converters, inverters, switches and
automation systems. 
- Networks: broadband, communication and mobile network equipment and systems,
such as base stations, exchanges and 
  amplifiers.
- Medtech, Life Sciences and Environmental Measurements: equipment related to
health-care technology, research and climate 
  and environmental measurements, such as dental chairs, analysers, mass
spectrometers and meteorological instruments. 
- Urban Applications: products and solutions related to urbanisation, such as
lifts, escalators, game machines and self-service 
  equipment.

The new customer segmentation is intended to provide the market with more
information about Scanfil's business environment and market development. 

In 2014, sales were divided between the new customer groups as follows:



EUR, million                 2014   2013  change %  % of turnover
Medtech, Life Science,                                           
Environmental Measurements   17.0    4.4     286.0       7.9     
Networks                     46.8   38.4      22.0       21.8    
Energy and Automation        61.3   57.7       6.0       28.6    
Urban applications           81.0   81.7      -1.0       37.8    
Others                        8.4    6.3      33.0       3.9     
Total                       214.5  188.5      14.0       100     



The Medtech, Life Sciences and Environmental Measurements group grew strongly,
particularly as a result of the acquisition of Schaltex Systems GmbH. Sales in
the Networks group and Energy and Automation group developed well, with demand
being particularly strong in the Networks category. In the Urban Applications
group, sales remained at the previous year's level. 

During the review period, Scanfil strengthened its position in Germany by
acquiring Schaltex Systems GmbH in Hamburg.  The company is an electronics
contract manufacturer specialising in high-mix, low-volume production. It
serves customers in the life sciences and analyser markets, among other fields.
The arrangement enhances Scanfil's growth strategy and goal of expanding its
customer base in Central Europe. 

Statutory employee negotiations were launched at the Sievi plant of Scanfil EMS
Oy, a subsidiary of Scanfil Oyj, in the fourth quarter of 2014. During the
negotiations, decisions were made on temporary lay-offs in January-April 2015.

(42%).

is related to the acquisition of a subsidiary in 2014. In 2013, EUR 9.8 million

more than three months, which was classified as an investment. Cash flow from
financing activities was EUR -13.0 million (-11.2). This includes the payment
of dividends, loan repayments and the use of a bank credit facility. 

Gross investments in January - December in fixed assets totalled EUR 8.2 (4.0)

FUTURE PROSPECTS

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. 

Turnover for 2014 was EUR 214,5 million and operating profit EUR 16.2 million.


OPERATIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

A weakening of the global economy and a decrease in the international demand
for capital goods could have a negative effect on the development of the
business operations of Scanfil's customers and could subsequently reduce demand
in the contract manufacturing market.  In addition, Scanfil is exposed to risks
resulting from exchange rate fluctuations in its business operations. 

In other respects, the risks facing Scanfil's business have remained
essentially the same. The company's risks and risk management are described in
greater detail on the company's website under Corporate Governance. 

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2015 AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS' PROPOSALS TO THE ANNUAL
GENERAL MEETING

Scanfil plc's Annual General Meeting will be held on 8 April 2015 at the
company's head office in Sievi, Finland. 

Dividend for 2014
The company aims to pay dividends amounting to approximately 1/3 of its annual
result on a regular basis. 
The parent company's distributable funds are EUR 14,873,027.32. The Board of
Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 0.07 be
paid from the unrestricted shareholders' equity per share, for a total of EUR
4,041,130.73. The dividend matching day is 10 April 2015. The dividend will be
paid to those shareholders who, on the matching day, are entered in the
Company's Register of Shareholders, kept by Euroclear Finland Ltd. The dividend
payment day is 17 April 2015. 

No significant changes have taken place in the company's financial position
since the end of the financial year. In the view of the Board of Directors, the
proposed dividend pay-out will not put the company's liquidity at risk. 

The proposal of Scanfil plc's nomination committee to the General Meeting for
the composition of Scanfil plc's Board of Directors will be published in
connection with the invitation to the General Meeting. 

The company publishes a notice of the Annual General Meeting later separately.

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