SHORT-TERM OUTLOOK The demand for semiconductors is expected to grow in year 2014. Also for the silicon wafer market, growth is expected in 2014. Following the growth in shipment volumes, the long decline in the value of the silicon wafer market is anticipated to end this year. The demand for Okmetic's sensor and special wafers is estimated to grow year- over-year also during the second half of 2014.The price level of demanding sensor wafers is expected to remain fairly stable. Prices of semiconductor wafers are being hit by the weakened Japanese yen, as the Japanese manufacturers hold a significant stake of the silicon wafer market. However, the demand is expected to pick up compared to 2013. In accordance with normal seasonal fluctuation, the demand for semiconductor wafers is strongest in the second and third quarters of the year. Other business sales are not expected to materially differ from the low level of year 2013. The company retains its existing guidance, according to which net sales and operating profit in 2014 are estimated to exceed the level of year 2013. PRESIDENT KAI SEIKKU: "Net sales in the second quarter were up by almost 10 percent compared to the corresponding period last year, as the positive sales trend continued in strategically important wafers used mainly in advanced sensor applications. The value of shipments of these high value-added specialty products increased by almost 17 percent in the first half of the year, with SOI wafer sales reaching a record high. In contrast, sales of semiconductor wafers were down slightly due to a more fierce price competition. Despite the increase in comparable profitability in silicon wafers, Okmetic's operating profit in January-June fell in comparison to 2013. Nearly half a million euro of the decrease in operating profit was accounted by changes in non-operating IFRS items compared to the corresponding period last year. The margin of polysilicon trading, reported under Other business, fell by slightly over a million euro from the first half of 2013. In addition, the profitability of the Allen plant was 0.3 million euro weaker than in the first half of 2013, due partly to inventory write-downs and equipment break-downs. Okmetic's second-half result is expected to improve year-over-year. Fixed costs were tightly managed. The company's working capital is being burdened by long-term polysilicon purchase contracts related to the solar cell business, where the operating conditions have changed. The expiration of these contracts at the end of 2015 will allow a reduction in working capital. Roles within Okmetic's executive management group were rotated at the beginning of April, and the members with new positions have assumed their new roles and responsibilities. The company now has a leaner executive management group, reduced in size by one member with the goal of assigning more clearly defined responsibilities and enhancing the flow of information within the organisation. Consolidation in the silicon wafer industry looks set to continue at an even faster pace as a result of the challenging market conditions. The industry has recently seen announcements of reductions in production capacity as well as of restructuring. Okmetic continues to follow its long-term strategy of focusing on high value-added 150 to 200 millimetre wafers."

In 2014, the sales value of sensor industry is estimated to grow by 5-11 percent, and annual growth of 6-13 percent is forecasted for the next few years. In terms of volume, sensor shipments are likely to clearly reach a new record in year 2014 too. (IHS, Yole) Semiconductor industry In January-May, the sales of the global semiconductor industry in US dollars grew by 10 percent from the corresponding period last year (SIA). For the whole year 2014, the growth estimates settle between 6.5 and 10 percent (WSTS, Semiconductor Intelligence, Cowan). Growth estimates for year 2015 settle between 3 and 9 percent (WSTS, Semiconductor Intelligence, Cowan, Digitimes, ICInsights), and the growth of the semiconductor market is expected to continue also in the following years (WSTS, IDC). Silicon wafer market According to the report of SMG, the group of silicon wafer suppliers in SEMI (a global umbrella organisation for semiconductor materials and equipment industry), the surface area of silicon wafer shipments calculated in square inches grew by 11 percent year-over-year in the first quarter of 2014. SMG has not yet published its second quarter figures. According to Okmetic's own estimate, the growth in the second quarter was at the same level as in the beginning of the year. Following the growth in shipment volumes, the long decline in the value of the silicon wafer market in US dollars is expected to end this year. The key customer areas for Okmetic in the silicon wafer market In line with its strategy, Okmetic seeks niches in the silicon wafer market, where growth exceeds market average and in which the company has special expertise. Okmetic supplies primarily 150mm and 200mm wafers. The sensor/MEMS industry is a key growth area for Okmetic. MEMS market grows as portable consumer products, automotive electronics, and industrial process control increase. In the semiconductor market, Okmetic's growth areas include silicon wafers for the production of discrete and power semiconductors. In these wafer markets, areas for growth include, among others, components used in the production of renewable energy, increasing automotive electronics, portable consumer products, as well as different solutions related to power supply and efficiency improvement. SALES In January-June, Okmetic's net sales amounted to 36.1 (33.4) million euro. Net sales were up by 8.0% (down 19.2%) from the comparison period due to strong demand for sensor wafers. Net sales in the second quarter grew by 9.8 percent year-over-year and 7.4% from the first quarter. Okmetic's market share remained stable in product groups important to the company.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Okmetic Oyj's annual general meeting, which was held on 9 April 2014, adopted the annual accounts and the consolidated annual accounts for 2013 and discharged the company's management from liability. It was decided that no dividend shall be distributed for the financial year 2013. In addition, the annual general meeting authorised the board to decide on the repurchase and/or the acceptance as pledge of the company's own shares as well as on the issuance of shares, the transfer of the company's own shares, and the issuance of special rights entitling to shares. It was decided that there would be five members on the company's board of directors. Mr. Hannu Martola, Ms. Mervi Paulasto-Kröckel, Mr. Mikko Puolakka and Mr. Henri Österlund were re-elected as members of the board of directors, and Mr. Jan Lång was elected as a new member of the board. The board of directors elected Henri Österlund as its chairman and Jan Lång as its vice chairman in its organising meeting held immediately after the annual general meeting. Authorised Public Accountant PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy was elected as auditor, with APA Mikko Nieminen having the principal responsibility. Authorisations given to the board of directors and other decisions of the annual general meeting were disclosed in a stock exchange release published on 9 April 2014. BUSINESS RISKS There have been no significant changes in the company's near future business risks and uncertainties. Okmetic's business is confronted by risks, which may arise from the company's operations or changes in its operating environment. Risks that, if materialized, can have an adverse effect on the company's operations and valuation are described below. Okmetic's silicon wafer sales are targeted at the sensor and semiconductor producers in the electronics industry. The demand for semiconductor wafers is sensitive to economic fluctuations, and changes in the market situation can be sudden and dramatic. The demand for sensor wafers is more stable. The proliferation of sensors in consumer electronics applications may, however, increase the susceptibility of this market too to economic fluctuations. Okmetic has existing polysilicon purchasing obligations partly until the end of 2015. Since the price level of the solar cell market has dropped, the validity of long-term polysilicon purchase contracts typical of the industry may cause a price risk. Okmetic's share of the global silicon wafer market is around one percent, and the market prices have a notable effect on the price development of Okmetic's products. The company has considerable pricing power only in its own special products. The pricing of other wafers is largely based on global market price. Okmetic operates globally, and therefore the company's business is affected by risks due to exchange rate fluctuations, consisting of cash flows from purchases and sales. A significant part of sales is conducted in US dollars. Despite hedging, the company remains exposed to exchange rate fluctuations. Substantial amounts of electricity are used in Okmetic's production. Despite hedging, the company is exposed to fluctuations in the price of electricity.
