Petteri Jokitalo, CEO

I am very happy about the achieved sales growth as well as the positive development of profitability during the third quarter. Compared to previous year we grew 7% and reached 6.5% operating profit which exceeded our this year's targeted 6%. Return on equity was 18.3%.

We have been able to increase our operating profit every quarter of the year significantly. This has been possible due to positively developed customer demand and particularly strong growth in new customer sales. The benefits from the optimization of the factory network can be seen, even though it is clear that we still need to improve our operational performance, especially in Myslowice, Poland and Sievi, Finland. I am especially proud of the contribution of Scanfil's employees. The result achieved would not have been possible without the hard work of the employees and their commitment to the set goals.

Our investment in manufacturing capacity and facilities has been at a record level throughout the year. In August, we moved to a larger production facility in Atlanta, and the Sieradz electronics factory is completing an expansion investment that doubles the factory's floor space and capacity. New electronics manufacturing lines have been acquired and deployed at the Suzhou, Sieradz and Malmö plants. The production capacity of the Myslowice factory's sheet metal manufacturing has tripled. With these investments, we have upgraded and increased our manufacturing capacity to meet the foreseen customer demands. These investments also enable us to meet the future growth targets.

I am pleased with Scanfil's financial development in the third quarter. I am confident that the positive development will continue for the rest of the year and we will achieve the goals set for this year.

Markets and Customer Segments

The turnover increased in the third quarter, especially in the "Medtech, Life Science, Environmental Measurements" and "Other Industries" segments compared to the previous year. However, the development of demand within customer segments

was strongly customer-specific. The growth in new customer sales is reflected in the "Other Industries" customer segment.

The largest customer accounted for 13% of turnover and 59% of the top ten customers.

Turnover

  • July-September turnover totalled to EUR 130.8 million. It was 7.4% higher than the corresponding period of the previous year. In absolute terms, the turnover grew EUR 9.1 million.
  • A significant part of the growth in turnover came from the "Other Industries" customer segment, whose turnover increased by EUR 8.5 million mainly due to new customers.
  • January-September turnover was almost at the level of the previous year.
  • Metal precision business was divested in the year 2016. Excluding the divestment of the Metal-Precision business, turnover grew by 2.7%.

Operating Profit

  • July-September operating profit was EUR 8.5 million (6.5% of turnover) and increased by 10.3% compared to last year.
  • The increase in operating profit is due to the measures taken by the company during the last year to adapt the factory network and the positive development of turnover combined with the continuous improvement of operations.
  • January-September operating profit was EUR 21.7 million (5.6% of turnover) and grew by 23.3% compared to the last year.

Net Cash Flow from Operations

  • January-September, the net cash flow from operating activities was EUR 7.3 million and grew 135% compared to the previous year.
  • During the review period, the net cash flow was negatively affected by the increase of -10.9 million in working capital. Growth in the review period can be explained by more than EUR 8.5 million increase in turnover compared to the last quarter of last year.

Accounting Principles

This interim report has been prepared in compliance with the IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting standard.

Starting from January 1, 2017, accounting principles have been changed as follows:

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting: The Group applies cash flow hedge accounting to currency derivative contracts prepared for hedging purposes after January 1, 2017. Changes in fair value are entered in other comprehensive income items and presented in the fair value reserve under equity. Hedge accounting has not previously been applied to currency derivatives.

Business segments: Scanfil's group structure has been simplified and, starting from January 1, 2017, Scanfil shifted to a single operating segment reporting system.

Otherwise, this interim report has been prepared following the same accounting principles as in the 2016 financial statements. All figures in the financial report have been rounded and consequently the sum of the individual figures can deviate from the sum figure.

The interim report is unaudited.
