Short-term outlook
In 2013, the semiconductor industry's demand is estimated to grow again, and the
sensor industry is forecast to continue on its growth track. Growth estimates
for semiconductors have been revised downwards during the year due to the
slowing PC market as well as weakening demand for smartphones.
The demand for sensor wafers manufactured by Okmetic is estimated to continue
fairly stable throughout 2013. The demand for semiconductor wafers in year 2013
will remain weaker than expected in the beginning of the year.
Okmetic strives to outgrow the market in its core business as a manufacturer of
demanding silicon wafers. Technology sales, instead, have contracted
significantly as a result of the plummeted price level in the solar cell
industry. This causes a structural change in the company's business. In 2013,
the company's business mainly consists of silicon wafer sales.
The company retains its existing guidance, according to which net sales and
operating profit for 2013 are estimated to remain under the level of 2012.
PRESIDENT KAI SEIKKU:
"As anticipated, the demand for silicon wafers was higher in the third quarter
than during the first half. In 2013, the silicon wafer business has been
strongly two-fold. The value of shipments of sensor wafers, which are central to
the company's strategy, saw an increase of 6.5 percent in January-September,
compared to the corresponding period last year. By contrast, the value of
semiconductor wafer shipments declined clearly from the comparison periods: the
decline was 19.4 per cent in January-September and 22.8 per cent in the third
quarter. The share of sensor wafers in net sales in January-September already
amounted to nearly 60 percent.
During this challenging year, Okmetic has outperformed the silicon wafer
industry. Customers are optimizing their inventory levels towards the end of the
year, which causes slower demand in the last quarter, following the seasonal
fluctuation. The semiconductor market took an upward turn in the summer, but
this growth is not yet increasing the shipments of silicon wafers. The
difference between the growth rates of semiconductors and silicon wafers is due
to high inventory levels of wafers and improved area efficiency of circuit
manufacturing. The recovering semiconductor demand is later on positive news for
the silicon wafer industry as well.
Operating profit was affected by a few non-operational items in the third
quarter. The negative impact of these items on operating profit was 0.6 million
euro. The most significant of these items were fair value based IFRS cost
entries related to a long-term incentive system and a change in the valuation of
silicon crystals meant for subcontracting. Similar to the comparison period, net
cash flow from operating activities (4.8 million euro) was at a good level in
January-September.
The company's working capital is increased by the raw material inventory, which
has grown due to the polysilicon purchasing agreements. This inventory is being
released slowly as the growing of solar crystals ended and the price level
declined steeply.
The soft development experienced in semiconductor wafers in particular and the
forecast drop in the level of the solar business in 2013 call for an ability to
see beyond the economic conditions. The current year is challenging due to the
declined net sales, and the market outlook for 2014 is still uncertain. The
annual contract negotiations are indicating growth for next year. In 2014,
product development will introduce promising products and capabilities in the
commercialisation phase for both sensor and semiconductor wafers. Other business
is likely to recover next year from the low level in 2013.
In practice, demand in the silicon wafer industry has been soft since the
beginning of 2011. However, many electronics applications are only at the
beginning of their growth curve, and the role of technology in many areas of
everyday life will considerably increase. Okmetic's promising long-term growth
outlook and good market position in key customer segments remain unchanged."

MARKETS
Customer industries sensor and semiconductor industry
Sensor industry
The sales value of sensor industry is estimated to grow 6.6-12 percent in 2013.
In terms of volume, the sensor shipments are likely to clearly reach a new
record this year. The increasing use of micro sensors in several consumer
electronics products has positively influenced sensor sales. For the next few
years, the sales value of sensor industry is estimated to grow 8-13 percent
annually. (IHS, Yole)
Semiconductor industry
As anticipated, the US dollar based sales of the global semiconductor industry
continued to grow in the third quarter of the year. Sales in August were over
six percent higher than in 2012 (SIA). Market growth is expected to continue in
the fourth quarter, and the annual growth rate for the year 2013 is estimated to
end up at 2.1 to 6.9 percent (WSTS, IDC, IHS, Semiconductor Intelligence).
Stronger growth is expected for the following years: the growth estimates vary
between 4.2 and 15 percent (WSTS, IDC, IHS, Semiconductor Intelligence).
Silicon wafer market
The annual estimated surface growth for silicon wafer shipments in 2013 is now
around one percent, and in 2014 the growth is expected to accelerate to four
percent level (SEMI). Based on this forecast, global silicon wafer shipments in
the third quarter (in square inches) are estimated to have been approximately at
the same level as in the second quarter. According to the company's own
estimate, the silicon wafer market value will decrease 10-14 percent in 2013.
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, growth areas for Okmetic 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.
CHANGE IN SALES REPORTING PER CUSTOMER AREA
Okmetic changed its sales reporting per customer area as of the beginning of
2013. According to the current policy, technology sales are reported under the
title Other business because of their diminished weight and varying content.
SALES
In January-September, Okmetic's net sales fell 17.2 percent from the previous
year and amounted to 51.7 (62.4) million euro. The decrease was mainly due to a
considerable decline in Other business sales. Sensor wafer shipments grew
whereas semiconductor wafer shipments diminished from the comparison period.
Okmetic's market share somewhat decreased in the product groups important to the
company.

In January-September, the value of sensor wafer shipments grew 6.5 percent from
the corresponding period last year. The demand for sensor wafers is estimated to
remain solid.
In all three quarters of 2013, semiconductor wafer sales have grown compared to
the preceding quarter. However, in January-September, the value of shipments
declined 19.4 percent from the comparison period last year. In the third
quarter, the value of shipments fell 22.8 percent from the corresponding period
in 2012.
The value of Other business shipments amounted to 1.7 (9.5) million euro in
January-September. The considerable difference from the comparison period is due
to the loss of solar crystal sales.

Europe 41% 31% 40% 26% 27%
Asia 16% 30% 19% 35% 35%
Regionally, the sales were strongest in North America and Europe in January-
September. The relative proportion of Asia of net sales considerably diminished
in the reporting period. This was largely due to lower sales in Other business
(Technology sales have earlier been a considerable part of sales to Asia), but
also due to soft silicon wafer sales in Asia.
PROFITABILITY
July-September
In July-September, Okmetic's operating profit amounted to 1.4 (3.0) million
euro, i.e. 7.8 (14.1) percent of net sales. Operating profit was reduced by non-
operational items of 0.6 million euro in total. The most significant of these
items were fair value based IFRS cost entries related to a long-term incentive
system and a change in the valuation of silicon crystals meant for
subcontracting. Profit for the period amounted to 0.8 (2.1) million euro. Basic
earnings per share was 0.05 (0.13) euro. Diluted earnings per share was 0.05
(0.12) euro.
January-September
In January-September, Okmetic's operating profit amounted to 4.8 (7.0) million
euro, i.e. 9.2 (11.2) percent of net sales. Profit for the period amounted to
3.4 (4.9) million euro. Basic earnings per share was 0.20 (0.29) euro. Diluted
earnings per share was 0.20 (0.29) euro.
FINANCING
The company's financial situation is solid. In January-September, net cash flow
from operating activities amounted to 4.8 (5.9) million euro. The changes in
working capital tied up in operations weakened cash flow from operating
activities by 5.0 (3.5) million euro, mainly due to increased inventory. In the
third quarter, the changes in working capital improved cash flow. The
reimbursement of income tax advances from 2012 improved net cash flow for
January-September by 1.1 million euro.
On 30 September 2013, the company's interest-bearing liabilities amounted to
11.8 (6.2) million euro.
Okmetic announced in January that it has signed a five-year loan agreement for
10 million euro. The loan is used for the earlier announced investments and
general corporate purposes. At the end of the period, the amount of the loan
outstanding was nine million euro, in accordance with the amortization schedule.
At the end of the reporting period, cash and cash equivalents amounted to 5.6
(6.9) million euro. On 30 September 2013, the company's cash and cash
equivalents were 6.2 million euro lower than interest-bearing liabilities (on
30 September 2012, cash and cash equivalents were 0.7 million euro higher than
interest-bearing liabilities). The group has ensured liquidity with committed
credit facilities of 6.0 million euro. On 30 September 2013, the committed
credit facilities were fully unused.
Return on equity amounted to 7.4 (10.7) percent. The company's equity ratio was
70.5 (72.8) percent. Equity per share was 3.67 (3.71) euro.
INVESTMENTS
In January- September, Okmetic's capital expenditure amounted to 5.8 (9.8)
million euro. The investments were directed to debottlenecking and
automatisation of wafer production lines as well as expansion of the Vantaa
plant.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
In January-September, the company expensed 1.9 (1.7) million euro in product
development projects, corresponding to 3.6 (2.7) percent of net sales. Product
development costs were not capitalised. Emphasis in product development was on
engineered products. Focus areas include broadening the SOI product family,
improving capability in 200mm products as well as developing crystal growing to
enhance capability in high and low resistivity products.
PERSONNEL
On average, Okmetic employed 366 (369) people in January- September. At the end
of the period, Okmetic had 356 (365) employees, of which 313 worked in Finland,
38 in the US, four 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 silicon wafer sales are directed to 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. Other
business has in recent years been mainly crystal sales to the solar cell
industry. Okmetic has existing polysilicon purchasing obligations partly until
2015. As the price level of the solar cell market has dropped, the validity of
long-term polysilicon 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 pricing 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 operations are
affected by risks related to exchange rate fluctuations, consisting of the cash
flows of purchases and sales. A significant part of sales is conducted in US
dollars. Despite hedging, the company remains exposed to exchange rate
fluctuations.
Substantial volumes 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 the 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.
