MARKETS
Customer industries
The global economic downturn has affected the market situation among
Okmetic's customer industries in 2009. The sensor industry had grown
accustomed to a steady market growth of above 10 percent a year. This
year shipment volumes have increased more slowly than usual, though.
Due to the market situation the prices have partially declined, too.
In the first three quarters of the year, the sales of sensor products
are estimated to be slightly below the corresponding period in 2008.
In semiconductor industry the beginning of the year was weak, but
since then the industry has started to recover clearly. In the light
of published sales figures, the gross invoicing for semiconductors
quoted in US dollars fell in January-August by more than 20 percent
year-on-year.
The solar panel market has clearly suffered from the general downturn
and decreasing national subsidies in 2009. Stock volumes have
increased and prices have fallen. Investments have slowed down due to
increased caution amongst customers.
Silicon wafer industry
The increasing use of sensors in many consumer electronics
applications has boosted the sensor market while the demand for
wafers in the automotive industry has temporarily suffered. The
difficult market situation of customer industries was also seen in
the demand of semiconductor wafers. Semiconductor wafer deliveries in
the first three quarters fell drastically compared to the
corresponding period a year ago.
Okmetic
Okmetic's sales of sensor wafers have remained almost at the same
level as a year ago, despite the market situation. Sales of
semiconductor wafers have decreased significantly due to the general
decline in demand. In a challenging market situation of 2009 Okmetic
has succeeded to increase its market share in the main product areas.
PROJECTIONS FOR THE NEAR FUTURE
Customer industries
The market situation in the sensor industry is expected to remain
stable the rest of the year. All-year sensor sales are expected to
finish at about 10 percent below 2008 levels but to return to
double-digit growth in 2010.
Semiconductor industry is in recovery. The forecasts for total sales
in 2009 have recently been revised upwards, and the latest estimate
is that the year-on-year drop in semiconductor invoicing will not
reach 20 percent. Semiconductor sales are predicted to see a clear
increase in 2010 and to return to the 2008 level.
Market growth in solar cells and panels is expected next year.
Consequently, the technology sales market is expected to recover.
Silicon wafer industry
The market development of the silicon wafer industry is monitored in
terms of surface area. According to a forecast published by SEMI (the
global industry association of silicon wafer suppliers)in October,the
total delivery volume in 2009 is projected to be around 6,300 million
square inches. The volume is thus down about 20 percent from 2008.
SEMI expects wafer demand to increase 23 percent in 2010.
Okmetic
Okmetic specialises in the manufacture of demanding sensor wafers and
is the global market leader and a pioneer in technological
development in this respect. The leading position as the supplier of
advanced sensor wafers creates a sound basis for the company and
substantial growth potential when the wafer industry is returning to
a growth track. This is expected to happen next year. Okmetic's
semiconductor wafer shipments have increased steadily since the low
point experienced in the first quarter of 2009. The increase in
demand for semiconductor wafers is expected to continue in the last
quarter of the year. Technology sales are expected to remain on level
with Q3 figures in the fourth quarter. Due to the completion of the
significant three-year technology sales project Okmetic is well
positioned for signing new technology contracts.
Net sales for the year 2009 are expected to amount to around 53
million euro. Operating profit is estimated to be slightly positive.
Cash flow from operating activities is expected to be clearly
positive.
EVENTS AFTER THE INTERIM REPORT PERIOD
The company and President have mutually decided that Antti Rasilo,
President since the beginning of 2003 leaves Okmetic today. Deputy to
the president, Executive Vice President, Sales Mikko Montonen will
handle the duties of President for the time being. The board of
directors has initiated the search for a new President.
SALES
Okmetic's net sales in January-September 2009 decreased by 22.2
percent from the previous year (increased by 6.7%), amounting to 40.5
million euro (52.1 million euro). In the third quarter the net sales
amounted to 12.2 million euro (18.0 million euro). Net sales went
down, following especially the dramatic deterioration in the market
situation of the semiconductor industry at the end of 2008 and the
major three-year technology sales project which was nearly completed
at the end of June 2009. Semiconductor wafers' market situation has
improved from the first quarter continuously.

Technology 19% 23% 33% 25% 25%
Okmetic's sensor wafer sales in January-September 2009 remained
slightly behind the previous year. The use of sensors is expected to
continue its increase. Sensor applications are rapidly becoming more
popular in cameras and other consumer electronics products, for
example, in addition to the automotive industry and other traditional
applications.
The falling share of semiconductor sales in our total sales is the
result of the weak market situation. However, the market situation
has improved continuously after the low point experienced in the
first quarter of 2009. The most typical uses of semiconductor wafers
include consumer electronics, information technology,
telecommunications and the automotive industry.
Technology sales comprise not just manufacturing technology but also
crystal sales and occasional polysilicon recycling. The fluctuations
in sales volume percentages per customer area and market area are due
to the nature of technology sales and irregular income recognition
schedule.

The exchange rates of the US dollar and Japanese yen against the euro
have an effect on the way net sales are distributed between different
market areas.
PROFITABILITY
Okmetic group's loss for the period was -0.2 million euro (profit 6.9
million euro) in January-September 2009. In the third quarter the
loss for the period was -1.2 million euro (profit 2.9 million euro).
Earnings per share were -0.01 euro (0.41 euro). The company's profits
were burdened by the low operating rate resulting from the market
situation in semiconductor wafers. Profits are also suffering as a
result of the substantially lower recycling price received for
silicon. Okmetic's result was weighed down by the additional cost of
0.5 million euro caused by the outcome of the personnel negotiations
conducted in September as well as the exchange losses of 0.5 million
euro in January-September. All the costs have been adjusted to the
prevailing market situation in the group.
FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS
The group's financial situation is good. The company's cash and cash
equivalents exceed the interest-bearing liabilities by 2.9 million
euro (1.8 million euro lower). The net cash flow from operations in
January-September 2009 amounted to 4.5 million euro (10.3 million
euro) and in the third quarter to 0.2 million euro (4.5 million
euro).
A total of 1.4 million euro was invested in refurbishing production
equipment.
At the end of the period, cash and cash equivalents amounted to 17.3
million euro (17.5 million euro). Return on equity amounted to -0.5
percent (19.3%). The group's equity ratio was 66.6 percent (61.8%).
Shareholders' equity per share amounted to 2.90 euro (2.98 euro).
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
The company invested 1.7 million euro (1.6 million euro) in long-term
product development projects during the financial period. Product
development accounted for 4.2 percent (3.2%) of the net sales.
Okmetic engaged in several strategic research projects. R&D work
focused on sensor wafers which are important to Okmetic.
PERSONNEL
On average, Okmetic employed 339 people (363). At the end of the
period, 302 of the group's employees worked in Finland, 30 in the US
and three in Japan. Majority of the company's personnel in Finland
were temporarily laid off from one to six weeks in February-June
2009. As a result of the personnel negotiations conducted in
September the number of the clerical workers will be reduced by 22
persons, of which 19 in Finland. 23 manual workers will be
temporarily laid off until further notice in Finland. These actions
will result in savings of over a million euro annually. The effect of
the savings will be noticeable as of the beginning of 2010.
BUSINESS RISKS
Okmetic's silicon wafer sales are targeted at the sensor and
semiconductor industries. 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
significantly more stable and sales of sensor wafers are developing
favourably. The success of the sales strategy hinges on trouble-free
contract manufacturing.
Okmetic's share of the global silicon wafer market is around one
percent and the market prices have an effect on the price development
of the company's products. The majority of sales are conducted in US
dollars. The Japanese yen is another notable trading currency.
Despite hedging, the company remains exposed to exchange rate
fluctuations.
Great volumes of electricity are used in Okmetic's production. The
significant and long-term electricity hedging measures will have an
impact on the result for the period if the price of electricity
changes significantly.
SHARE PRICE DEVELOPMENT AND TRADING
A total of 2.9 million shares (7.1 million shares) were traded
between 1 January and 30 September 2009, representing 17.1 percent
(42.2%) of the share total of 16.9 million. The lowest quotation of
the period was 1.81 euro (2.20 euro) and the highest was 2.99 euro
per share (3.14 euro), with an average of 2.40 euro (2.66 euro). The
closing quotation for the period was 2.67 euro (3.00 euro). The total
market value of the share capital amounted to 45.1 million euro at
the end of the financial period (50.7 million euro).
