SHORT-TERM OUTLOOK
The demand for semiconductors is expected to grow in 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 demanding sensor wafers is estimated to grow year-on-
year in 2014, and the price level 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 somewhat in 2014 compared to 2013.
Other business sales are not expected to materially differ from the low level of
year 2013.
In the fourth quarter, the demand for silicon wafers is expected to be lower
than in the second and third quarters of the year, in accordance with normal
seasonal fluctuation.
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:
"The strong sales trend of strategically important sensor wafers continued in
January-September, as the shipments grew by 12.3 percent from the comparison
period. The demand for sensor wafers was particularly strong in Europe. Sales
grew in all of the company's main market areas excluding Japan. Sensor wafer
development has been in line with the long-term growth target as redefined in
the Capital Markets Day at the end of September. In contrast, the demand for
semiconductor wafers has clearly been weaker in 2014 in relation to the
corresponding period last year.
The third quarter is traditionally the peak demand season for Okmetic's
products. Operating profit, 2.8 million euro, strengthened notably in July-
September both quarter-on-quarter (1.1 million euro in Q2 2014) and year-on-year
(1.4 million euro in Q3 2013). The increase in profitability was driven by the
sales of high value added products that is growing in line with Okmetic's
strategy. In the third quarter, also the strengthening of the US dollar as well
as non-operational income in the United States (0.3 million euro) improved
operating profit. Operating profit in the third quarter of last year was
burdened by non-operational items (0.6 million euro).
When assessing profitability of the business it is worth noticing that
depreciation grew by 0.7 million euro in January-September. Operating profit
before depreciation was 9.7 (9.0) million euro in January-September. Net cash
flow from operating activities, 6.2 million euro, was at a good level in
January-September considering the extra polysilicon inventory tied up in working
capital. The company's working capital is up as a result of a higher raw
material inventory, which has grown due to the polysilicon purchasing contracts.
With the growing of solar crystals based on own raw material now ended, this
inventory is being released. A reduction in working capital is not expected
until the expiration of the long-term contracts at the end of 2015.
The ongoing annual contract negotiations as well as new customerships and
customer qualifications indicate a continuing positive trend in sensor wafers
for next year. Meanwhile, in semiconductor wafers, prices will remain under
pressure."

MARKETS
Customer industries sensor and semiconductor industry
Sensor industry
The increasing use of micro sensors in many consumer electronics and automotive
industry products has accelerated sensor sales growth. In 2014, the sale value
of sensor industry is estimated to grow by 6-11 percent. In terms of volume,
sensor shipments are likely to clearly reach a new record in 2014, too. (IHS,
Yole)
Semiconductor industry
In the third quarter of 2014, the sales of the global semiconductor industry in
US dollars continued to grow. In January to August, the sales grew by 10 percent
from the corresponding period last year (SIA). For the whole year 2014, the
growth estimates have settled between 6.5 and 9.8 percent (WSTS, Gartner,
Cowan). Almost all product areas contributed to continued semiconductor sales
growth, especially tablet computers (SIA, Gartner).
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 10 percent year-on-year in the first half of 2014. For the whole
year 2014, SEMI forecasts 7 percent growth, which would break the record in the
yearly volume of silicon wafer shipments. 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 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 the third quarter, net sales grew by 5.9 percent year-on-year and amounted to
19.3 (18.2) million euro. In January-September, net sales grew by 7.2 percent
from the comparison period and amounted to 55.4 (51.7) million euro. Sensor
wafer shipments increased whereas semiconductor wafer shipments diminished from
last year in both periods. There have been no significant changes in the market
positions of Okmetic in the product groups important to the company.

PROFITABILITY
July-September
Okmetic's operating profit amounted to 2.8 (1.4) million euro, i.e. 14.3 (7.8)
percent of net sales in July-September.
The operating profit was favourably impacted by the strengthening of the US
dollar, the sale of a redundant lot at the Allen production site, 0.2 million
euro, as well as insurance claims paid out to the Allen plant, 0.1 million euro.
In the comparison period, operating profit was reduced by non-operational items
(0.6 million euro).
Profit for the period amounted to 2.2 (0.8) million euro. Basic earnings per
share was 0.13 (0.05) euro. Diluted earnings per share was 0.13 (0.05) euro.
January-September
In January-September, Okmetic's operating profit amounted to 4.8 (4.8) million
euro, i.e. 8.7 (9.2) percent of net sales. Profit for the period amounted to

earnings per share was 0.22 (0.20) euro.
FINANCING
The company's financial position is solid. In January-September, net cash flow
from operations amounted to 6.2 (4.8) million euro. The changes in working
capital tied up in operations weakened cash flow from operations by 2.7 (5.0)
million euro.
On 30 September 2014, the company's interest-bearing liabilities amounted to
14.5 (11.8) million euro. Okmetic issued a multi-issuer bond in June, due to
which interest-bearing liabilities increased by five million euro. The maturity
of the multi-issuer bond is five years. The financing is used for investments
and general corporate purposes.
At the end of the reporting period, cash and cash equivalents amounted to 10.3
(5.6) million euro. On 30 September 2014, the company's net debt was 4.2 million
euro (on 30 September 2013, net debt amounted to 6.2 million euro).
The group has ensured liquidity with committed credit facilities of 6.0 million
euro. On 30 September 2014, the committed credit facilities were fully unused
(as well as on 30 September 2013).
Return on equity amounted to 8.4 (7.4) percent. The company's equity ratio was
70.6 (70.5) percent. Equity per share was 3.69 (3.67) euro.
INVESTMENTS
In January-September, Okmetic's capital expenditure amounted to 2.5 (5.8)
million euro. The investments were mainly for increasing capacity of 200mm
wafers at the Vantaa plant.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
The company expensed 1.8 (1.9) million euro in product development projects in
January-September, corresponding to 3.2 (3.6) percent of net sales. Product
development costs have not been capitalised. Emphasis in product development was
on engineered products. Focus areas include broadening the SOI product family,
improving capability in 200mm wafers as well as developing crystal growing to
enhance capability in high and low resistivity products.
PERSONNEL
On average, Okmetic employed 371 (366) people in January-September. At the end
of the period, Okmetic had 363 (356) employees, of which 318 worked in Finland,
39 in the US, five in Japan, and one in Hong Kong.
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.

Fair value estimation
The group's financial instruments that are measured at fair value comprise
derivatives used for hedging and held for trading, and they are classified on
hierarchy level 2.
Fair values of level 2 instruments are based on other data than quoted prices in
active markets, but on data from which the asset is observable, either directly
(i.e. price) or indirectly (i.e. derived from the prices).
Fair value determination
The fair values of currency derivatives are determined by using mark-to-market
method at the reporting date.
The fair values of electricity derivatives are determined on the basis of market
quotations and contract prices of the instruments at the reporting date.
