Kitron: Strategy and targets outlined at Capital Markets Day

(2016-02-11) Kitron ASA today hosts at Capital Markets Day to describe the

foundation for the ongoing improvements at the company and to outline strategy

and targets.

Highlights:

* Organic growth of 10 per cent annually

* Long-term operating profit margin of 7 per cent.

* Comprehensive operational improvement program on-going

* Will consider targeted acquisitions

* Dividend policy updated

Kitron also released its report for the fourth quarter 2015 today. See separate

stock exchange notice.

"As our fourth quarter results confirms, we have substantially improved

profitability and cash flow over the past year. This change has clearly been

noticed by the financial community. Based on this, we feel that this is a good

time to elaborate on our strategy and targets by hosting this event," said Peter

Nilsson, CEO of Kitron.

"The progress over the past year has been achieved because we have implemented a

number of improvement programs. This has strengthened our margins and

dramatically improved cash flow by reducing working capital. The programs are

proceeding according to plan, and this gives us confidence in the targets we

present today," he added.

Kitron sees accelerated organic growth going forward, based on a strong position

in its defined market niches. In addition, the company will consider carefully

targeted acquisitions. These may be electronics manufacturing services companies

or product hardware companies with products of particular importance to Kitron's

customers.

The Board of Directors of Kitron has revised the company's dividend policy.

Kitron will pay an annual dividend of 30 to 60 per cent of the company's

ordinary net profit after tax. The range is increased from 30 to 50 per cent.

"The adjustment is based on a fundamental strengthening of Kitron's business,

with improved profitability and successful programs to improve the working

capital. It is an indication of our commitment to creating value for our

shareholders," said Tuomo Lähdesmäki, Chairman of the board of Kitron.
