SCANFIL PLC’S CHANGES THE OUTLOOK FOR FIRST QUARTER

SCANFIL PLC        STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE    1 MARCH 2012 at 9.55 A.M.

SCANFIL PLC'S CHANGES THE OUTLOOK FOR FIRST QUARTER

Due to the damages as ordered in favour of Scanfil EMS Oy the court of
arbitration the operating profit for the first quarter is estimated to be
positive. Damages do not change the outlook for the whole year 2012. 

According to Scanfil's earlier view, full-year turnover and operating profit
will decrease clearly compared to 2011 (Scanfil EMS Oy group's turnover for
2011 was EUR 210.8 million and operating profit EUR 9.1 million). The result
for the first quarter will be negative due to factors such as the weak seasonal
demand, expected adaptation costs and the demerger and listing costs. Full-year
operating profit is, however, expected to be clearly profitable.
