PKC Group Oyj INTERIM REPORT 6 AUGUST 2009 8.15 a.m. PKC GROUP'S INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-JUNE/2009 PKC Group's net sales in the January-June period decreased by 42.7% from the previous year to EUR 99.6 million (173.7 million in Jan.-Jun. 2008). Operating profit was EUR 5.5 million negative (19.0 million positive) and profit before taxes was EUR 6.4 million negative (17.1 million positive). Earnings per share were EUR 0.45 negative (0.67 positive). The result is burdened by approximately EUR 4.8 million in non-recurring expenses. Cash flows after investing activities during the report period were EUR 27.4 million (16.3 million). HARRI SUUTARI, PRESIDENT AND CEO: ”The continuing decline in production volumes in our customer sectors, particularly in the heavy commercial vehicle industry, led to a negative operating profit during the first half. The order bookings and delivery volumes for commercial vehicles exceeded the production volumes during the second quarter. This indicates that the production volumes should not further decrease from the currently exceptionally low level. Continued rationalisation measures and inputs in R&D puts trust in the continuous improvement of the PKC competitive position. Due to the current market situation, the supplier base in the commercial vehicle industry is going through radical change, in turn opening up new possibilities for PKC.” OPERATING ENVIRONMENT Wiring Harnesses The deliveries and new orders of heavy trucks saw a very sharp decline during the first half of the year in all of our market areas in comparison to the same period a year earlier. In Europe, our main market, the volume of deliveries and the value of the new orders received by our customers reached only a third of what it had been a year earlier. In South America, deliveries fell by a third but new orders fell by half. Our customers succeeded in reducing their stocks of finished trucks, causing the production volumes of wiring harnesses to fall behind from the truck delivery volumes. PKC deliveries for the truck industry only decreased by approximately 43%, which was due to the increased market share. Deliveries for the machinery industry in Europe reached approximately one-third compared to the previous year. The production and deliveries of recreational products were halved in North America. PKC is participating in several competitive bid processes concerning new customer relationships. Success in these processes might lead to new long-term delivery relationships and the subsequent strengthening of the company's market position. Electronics With the exception of the Asian markets, industrial investments fell significantly early on in the year, reducing the Group's industrial electronics deliveries by approximately 30%.

The implementation and development of the best quality practices in the Group's Wiring Harnesses business forms one of the Group's strategic objectives. These best practices support continuous development by involving personnel more extensively in day-to-day quality enhancement work. During the report period, the best quality practices were audited internally. Best practises are enhanced in the spirit of continuous improvement both in terms of the content and the evaluation practises. Progress is actively being monitored by the Group's Executive Board.

SHARE CAPITAL The Board of Directors was granted authorisation by the Annual General Meeting on 29 March 2007 to decide on one or more share issues and the granting of special rights as defined in Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Companies Act and on all the terms and conditions thereof. A maximum total of 3,500,000 shares may be issued, or subscribed to, based on authorisation. The authorisation includes the right to decide on a directed share issue and shall remain in force for five years from the date of the resolution of the Annual General Meeting. The authorisation may be used at the Board's discretion for financing corporate acquisitions, for carrying out inter-company co-operation or similar arrangements, or for strengthening the company's financing and capital structure. The Board of Directors does not possess the valid authorisation to acquire the company's own shares, in which the company does not have any own shares (treasury shares) in its possession. STOCK OPTION SCHEMES In 2006, PKC launched a stock option scheme according to which the maximum total number of stock options to be issued is 697,500, in which they are divided into A, B and C warrants. At the close of the report period, the company's key personnel had a total of 202,500 2006A warrants, 203,520 2006B warrants and 229,840 2006C warrants in their possession. The subscription period for shares through the exercise of stock options granted under the 2006 scheme shall be from 2009-2013. The share subscription price for stock options shall be the volume-weighted average price of the PKC Group Oyj share on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki, with dividend adjustments, as defined in the stock option terms (at present, EUR 10.49 for the 2006A, 2006B and 2006C warrants). Through the exercise of the 2006 stock options, the share capital of PKC Group Oyj may be increased by a maximum total of 697,500 new shares and EUR 234,673.67. The 2006 stock options are subject to a share ownership plan. Key personnel are obligated to subscribe to or purchase the company's shares with 20% of the gross income earned from stock options and to own these shares for two years. The company's President and CEO is obligated to own these shares for the duration of his managerial contract. The Annual General Meeting that was held on 27 March 2009 resolved to issue stock options to the key personnel of the Company and its subsidiaries. The maximum total number of stock options issued will be 600,000 and they are divided into A, B and C options. At the end of the report period, key personnel held a total of 161,500 2009A options. The share subscription price for shares through the exercise of stock options granted under the 2009 scheme shall be the volume-weighted average price for PKC Group shares during April 2009, 2010 and 2011 on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy + 20% (for 2009A options, the current price is EUR 3.85). The amount of the dividend decided after the period for the determination of the share subscription price, but before shares are subscribed for, shall be deducted from the share subscription price of the stock options on each dividend record date. The share subscription price will be recorded in the invested non-restricted equity fund. The stock options entitle their owners to subscribe to a maximum total of 600,000 new shares in the company or existing shares held by the company. The share subscription period for 2009A stock options will be 1 April 2012 — 30 April 2014, for 2009B stock options 1 April 2013 — 30 April 2015 and for 2009C stock options 1 April 2014 — 30 April 2016. SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The financial crisis and the resulting economic downturn have also had an impact on demand for the products of PKC's customers in the commercial vehicles and electronics product groups. Other main uncertainties include price pressures and demands for tighter contractual terms as imposed by customers, the significant fluctuation of currency exchange rates as well as the impact of the financial crisis on suppliers and the availability of raw materials and components. The risks of the last few years concerning fluctuations in the prices of raw materials have decreased. Suppliers and their financial situation are being actively monitored throughout the order and delivery chain. The principles, objectives and organisation of the company's risk management as well as key risk areas are described in the risk management section of the Corporate Governance guidelines, which are available on the company's website, www.pkcgroup.com. OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE It is currently difficult to estimate how long the economic downturn will last. We estimate that the low predictability in the demand in commercial vehicle industry and general uncertainty of financing will keep the demand for wiring harnesses exceptionally low. We also estimate that demand for electronics design and manufacturing services in the market will weaken compared to last year. We predict that the full-year net sales will decrease substantially and for operating profit to be negative. The full year estimation contains significantly more uncertainty than usual due to the customer segments' exceptionally short outlooks. Thanks to the low need for capital expenditures and decrease of working capital, cash flows after investments are expected to be positive. PKC's balance sheet, liquidity and good customer relationships all enable improvement in PKC's relative competitive position.
