Petteri Jokitalo, CEO of Scanfil plc:

In 2016, we went through a significant transformation. The year was strongly marked by the integration of PartnerTech that was acquired in 2015. We combined and streamlined organizations, and harmonized operating processes and IT systems. We eliminated overlapping functions and reorganized unprofitable plants. As a result, our cost structure is significantly lighter than before. We continue operations in ten plants, each of which has a distinct role, a broad customer base, and a sufficient sales volume. Our plant network is in good shape, and all of our plants are well placed for profitable and competitive operations.

We have also kept our foot on the gas; last year we initiated an investment program. We decided to double the production space in Sieradz and Myslowice. We also made an investment in electronics assembly lines for both in Sieradz and Suzhou. Additionally, we invested in punching machines in Myslowice. Parts of production equipment from closed factories are also being transferred to continuing factories. With these transfers, we have enhanced our manufacturing capacity e.g. in Myslowice as well as added new manufacturing technology, such as electronics assembly lines, to Hamburg.

Our current customer base offers a good opportunity for increasing sales. We aim to find new customers, especially in the Nordic countries and Central Europe. We will develop our operations in cooperation with our customers, based on their needs. Our aim is to stand out from our competitors by offering excellent performance and by being our customers' trusted partner for manufacturing services. Our customers have given us positive feedback on our stronger strategic position and increased potential to add value.

I am extremely satisfied with Scanfil's development in 2016, and I wish to thank our committed personnel, customers and other stakeholders."

Group structure

On 31 December 2016, Scanfil Group comprised the parent company, Scanfil Oyj, and two whollyowned sub-groups, Scanfil EMS Oy (Finland) and Scanfil Sweden AB (Sweden). The Scanfil EMS sub-group comprises the parent company, Scanfil EMS Oy, and six wholly-owned subsidiaries operating in four different countries. The Scanfil Sweden AB sub-group comprises the parent company, Scanfil Sweden Ab, seven whollyowned subsidiaries operating in five different countries and five inactive subsidiaries that were not engaged in any production activities at the end of 2016.

Business Trends

Scanfil's turnover for 2016 was EUR 508 million, which represents an increase of 35%, in comparison to year 2015.

After completing the restructuring of Metal Precision plants, the remaining customer accounts of the Defense segment were

transferred to the "Networks & Communication" and "Other Industries" customer groups. The sales of the remaining customer segments remained relatively stable. However, the development of sales to individual customers varied notably within the customer groups. The largest customer's share of the turnover was approximately 11%, and that of the ten largest customers was 56%.

For the benefit of our existing customers, we broadened our service portfolio and utilized our extended plant network. The acquisition of new customers focused mainly on the Nordic countries and Central Europe. We acquired several new customers for whom we supply mainly integrated products and electronics. We started to ramp-up new customers in 2016, and volume production for them starts in 2017.

The sales of design services developed favorably. We were able to join several customer projects in the early development phase, which plays a fundamental role in our operating model in the Nordic countries and, in the future, also in Central Europe.

Turnover was divided between different customer groups as follows:

EUR million 2015 Q1/2016 Q2/2016 Q3/2016 Q4/2016 2016 % of

* The remaining "Defence, Oil & Gas and Maritime" customer accounts after the restructuring of Metal Precision have been transferred to the "Networks & Communication" and "Other Industries" customer groups as of Q3/2016.

** The Networks customer group was expanded as of Q3/16, and it is now named "Networks & Communication"

Restructuring measures carried out during the period under review:

Negotiations on to adjust the operations of Scanfil Sweden Ab's Norwegian subsidiary Partnertech AS ended on 11 January 2016. Based on the final result of the negotiations, PartnerTech AS' Board of Directors decided to start closing down production of the plant. The closing down of the plant was completed by the end of June. The close-down of the operations had a negative effect of EUR 4.7 million on the result, and it mainly affected the first quarter of 2016.

The Board of Directors of Scanfil Sweden AB decided to sell the entire share capital of its subsidiary PartnerTech Aerodyn AB, located in Karlskoga, Sweden, for a cash selling price of EUR 350,000. The contract of sale was signed on 19 February 2016. The transaction was completed on 11 April 2016. The transaction resulted in a non-recurring loss of around EUR 1.2 million for Scanfil Group. The loss was recognised in the Group's result for the financial year 2015.

The statutory labour negotiations of Scanfil Sweden AB's English subsidiary Scanfil Limited ended on 25 April 2016. Based on the final result of the negotiations, Scanfil Limited's Board of Directors decided to start closing down production of the plant. The ramp-down of the plant resulted in a cost of approximately EUR 1.3 million. The measures were completed during July, and the effect on the result mainly affected the second quarter of 2016. Some of the customer accounts of discontinued Scanfil Limited continue at other Scanfil plants in Europe.

The Board of Directors of Scanfil Sweden AB decided on 10 May 2016 to sell the entire share capital of its subsidiary PartnerTech Karlskoga AB, located in Karlskoga, Sweden, for a nominal selling price. The sale caused a loss of approximately EUR 5 million to Scanfil group, and it decreased the net debt of the group by approximately EUR 2 million, which were recognized in the second quarter of 2016.

Scanfil Sweden AB's Chinese subsidiary Partnertech Electronics Co., Ltd decided on 27 June 2016 to discontinue production at the Dongguan plant in China. Production at the plant was closed down during the third quarter. The discontinuation of operations resulted in a cost of approximately EUR 2.4 million, of which around EUR 1 million had a cash effect. A corresponding cost provision was recognised in the second quarter of the year. Some of Dongguan's customer accounts continue at Scanfil's plants in Hangzhou and Suzhou.

The statutory labor negotiations of Scanfil Sweden AB's Finnish subsidiary, Scanfil Vantaa Oy, ended on 1 November 2016. Based on the final result of the negotiations, Scanfil Vantaa Oy's Board of Directors decided to start ramping down the production of the plant. The shutdown of the production is expected to result in a non-recurring expense of approximately EUR 0.4 million. The measures are expected to be completed by 30 June 2017. The effect of closing down the factory on profit and loss primarily affected the fourth quarter of 2016. Scanfil Vantaa Oy's customers will be served from other plants in Scanfil.

Scanfil EMS Oy's Hungarian subsidiary, Scanfl Kft, decided on 10 November 2016 to close down the plant located in Biatorbágy, Hungary. The close-down of the plant is expected to result in a non-recurring expense of approximately EUR 1.1 million, and it mainly affected the fourth quarter of 2016. Most of the measures are scheduled to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2017. Scanfil kft's customer accounts will continue at Scanfil's other plants.

The shutdown of the Hungarian plant completes the restructuring related to the integration of the PartnerTech AB's plant network.
