SHORT-TERM OUTLOOK
The early part of the year saw demand for Okmetic's advanced sensor wafers fall
as a result of developments in the smartphone market in particular: the sluggish
demand, the declining production volumes and the inventory adjustments that
continued across the entire value chain. The market will remain weak through the
rest of the year. Due to sluggish demand in the early months of the year, the
company anticipates negative development for D&A wafers in 2016. At the same
time, there is tighter price competition to win orders.
FINANCIAL GUIDANCE FOR 2016
After the difficult market situation in the beginning of the year, the company
revised its guidance for 2016 on 20 July 2016. In 2016, the net sales and
operating profit without items affecting comparability (previously operating
profit without non-recurring items) are estimated to decline from the levels of
2015. According to the earlier guidance, the net sales were estimated to decline
from the level of the previous year and operating profit without non-recurring
items was estimated to exceed the level of 2015.
PRESIDENT KAI SEIKKU:
"Some of the leading smartphone manufacturers have cut production during the
early part of the year by several tens of percent in response to weakening
demand. The underlying reason is that high-end smartphones have now reached
saturation in major markets. Manufacturers are also running down their high
inventories, built up amid historically high growth rates, and this has led to
ongoing adjustment across the whole value chain. In practice, these inventory
adjustments have meant that the drop in the number of new orders has been even
sharper than the cuts in smartphone production. As a result, order volumes for
Okmetic's advanced sensor wafers and certain D&A wafers, among others, have
declined.
These challenges in the smartphone market come in the wake of the slow-down in
the PC market, and with the exception of steady growth in demand for electronics
applications in the automotive industry, there are hardly any glimmers of light
in sight in the high-volume segments of the electronics industry. It will likely
be a few years before the much talked-about applications for the Internet of
Things can make up for the reduction in volumes.
The lacklustre demand was reflected in Okmetic's sales in the North American
market in particular, where the drop was approximately 20 percent. Europe has
seen a more moderate drop, while Asia, a key strategic market for Okmetic,
actually showed sales growth in early 2016 - suggesting that the industry's
centre of gravity is shifting to Asia at an increasingly fast pace. Despite the
fact that net sales were down, the company was able to maintain its relative
market shares in the early part of the year.
For Okmetic, the early part of 2016 has also been characterised by strong net
cash flow and major investments in the manufacture of advanced 200 mm wafers,
further processing, and crystal growing. The year has been challenging in many
ways, but, in line with its strategy, Okmetic's focus is on improving its market
position over the long term. The new owner, National Silicon Industry Group,
will offer strong support and better resources for Okmetic's future development.
Meanwhile, the company will continue to see stronger relative growth in demand
in the Chinese and other Asian markets."

MARKETS
Semiconductor industry
Semiconductor industry sales during the first quarter of 2016 were down by
around six percent from the levels of the first quarter of 2015, and are
estimated at 78 billion US dollars (WSTS). In 2016, the semiconductor sales are
projected to fall around two percents from 2015 (IDC, WSTS). Growth for 2017 is
projected at around two percents (WSTS).
Sensor industry
The sensor industry is projected to grow around eight percents in 2016 (WSTS,
Yole Développement).
Certain silicon-based microelectromechanical (MEMS) products within the sensor
segment have higher sales growth than the others. In spite of the slowing market
growth, the increasing amount of sensors in mobile devices has accelerated the
demand for e.g. pressure sensors and microphones. Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI)
technology is increasingly used in the manufacture of these products, among
others. Okmetic is a pioneering supplier of SOI wafers for the sensor industry.
Discrete semiconductor and analog circuits industries (Discrete & Analog)
The discrete semiconductor market is estimated to grow less than one percent
(WSTS) and analog circuits market around one percent in 2016 (Semi, SIA, WSTS).
Silicon wafer market
According to the estimate published by SMG, a group of silicon wafer suppliers
in SEMI (a global umbrella organisation for semiconductor materials and
equipment industry), the surface area of silicon wafer shipments declined around
three percents during the first quarter of 2016 compared to the level of
corresponding period in 2015. According to the company's own estimate, the
shipments of 100-200 mm silicon wafers, measured by surface area, were around
five percents lower in January-May 2016 than in the corresponding period in
2015 and around three percents lower than the 2015 average. According to SMG,
the value of silicon wafer market was 7.6 billion US dollars in 2015 and the
estimate for 2016 is 7.4 billion US dollars.
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 150 mm and 200 mm wafers.
The sensor/MEMS industry has been a key growth area for Okmetic already for a
long time. The use of sensors and their requirement level are expected to keep
growing owing to proliferation of sensor applications in the automotive
industry, industrial process control and in portable devices like smart phones,
cameras, game consoles, and wearable electronics. In future, a central growth
driver for the sensor industry will be the Internet of Things, which will
utilise sensor-produced data in communication between devices.
Another significant growth area is wafers used for the production of discrete
and power semiconductors as well as analog circuits. In these wafer markets,
areas for growth include, among others, components used in the production of
renewable energy, increasing automotive electronics, electric cars, portable
consumer products, as well as different solutions related to power supply and
efficiency improvement. Okmetic has launched new products for these areas.
SALES
In January-June, Okmetic's net sales amounted to 38.6 (43.7) million euro. Net
sales declined by 11.6 (21.0) percent compared to the corresponding period last
year. The decline in net sales resulted mainly from overall weakness of the
market and especially the decline of the net sales in North America compared to
the strong corresponding period. In the second quarter, net sales declined by
14.0 percent from the corresponding period last year. However, Okmetic's market
share remained stable in the product groups important to the company.
As of financial year started on 1 January 2016, the company reports the net
sales of its new customer segments, Sensor wafers and Discrete&Analog wafers
(D&A wafers), as well as net sales of its market areas instead of value of
deliveries.

In January-June, the North American net sales decreased by 20.2 percent from the
strong comparison period. Europe's net sales declined by 12.3 percent. In
strategically important Asia the demand continued strong and net sales increased
by 9.1 percent from the comparison period.
PROFITABILITY
April-June
In April-June, operating profit was -2.9 (2.9) million euro corresponding to
-15.3 (13.2) percent of net sales. Operating profit includes expenses affecting
comparability of 4.2 million euro related to the tender offer of NSIG as well as
other expenses affecting comparability of 0.4 million euro.
Operating profit without items affecting comparability (IAC) was 1.8 (2.9)
million euro corresponding to 9.7 (13.2) percent of net sales. The weaker
operating profit is resulting mainly from decline in sales, weaker sales mix as
well as the increased yield costs of the production in Vantaa.
Profit for the period was -3.1 (2.2) million euro. Basic earnings per share was
-0.19 (0.13) euro. Diluted earnings per share was 0.19 (0.13) euro.
January-June
In January-June, operating profit was 3.8 (5.8) million euro corresponding to
9.9 (13.4) percent of net sales. Operating profit includes gain affecting
comparability of 6.0 million euro related to the sale of the US-based epi plant
announced on 1 April 2016 as well as expenses affecting comparability of 4.8
million euro related to the tender offer of NSIG and other expenses affecting
comparability of 0.4 million euro.
Operating profit without items affecting comparability (IAC) was 3.2 (5.8)
million euro corresponding to 8.3 (13.4) percent of net sales. The weaker
operating profit is resulting mainly from decline in sales, weaker sales mix as
well as the increased yield costs of the production in Vantaa.
Profit for the period was 3.4 (4.4) million euro. The low income tax expense
(0.4 million euro) in the financial period are explained by the Allen plant's
tax losses (approximately 5.7 million euro), which are deductible in full
against gain from the sale of the Allen plant. Basic earnings per share was
0.20 (0.26) euro. Diluted earnings per share was 0.20 (0.26) euro.
FINANCING
The company's financial position was moderate at the end of the period. In
January-June, net cash flow from operations amounted to 8.7 (4.6) million euro.
The company's interest-bearing liabilities amounted to 16.2 (13.1) million euro
on 30 June 2016. At the end of the period, cash and cash equivalents amounted to
3.8 (9.2) million euro. The company's net interest-bearing liabilities amounted
to 12.4 (3.8) million euro on 30 June 2016. The company has ensured liquidity
with committed credit facilities of 6.0 million euro of which all were in use on
30 June 2016.
Return on equity was 11.5 (14.0) percent and return on investment was 10.6
(15.4) percent. The company's equity ratio was 56.7 (67.9) percent. Equity per
share amounted to 2.97 (3.62) euro.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
In January-June, capital expenditure amounted to 4.9 (3.1) million euro. The
investments focused mainly on increasing capacity and capability for SOI and
200 mm wafers.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
In January-June, the company expensed 1.4 (1.4) million euro in product
development projects, corresponding to 3.7 (3.2) percent of net sales. Product
development costs have not been capitalised.
During the first half of 2016, Okmetic's product development projects focused on
the development of new crystal technology and new SOI applications, deployment
of new processes to improve productivity, as well as process development for
sophisticated C-SOI wafers. As a result of sustained R&D efforts, the company
launched an enhanced SOI wafer, E-SOI, in March.
PERSONNEL
Okmetic employed on average 387 (387) people in January-June. At the end of the
period, Okmetic employed 401 (426) people, of which 388 worked in Finland, seven
in the US, five in Japan, and one in Hong Kong. As a result of the sale of the
Allen epi plant, the majority of the employees of Okmetic Inc., the US-based
subsidiary of Okmetic, transfered to the service of the new owner on 1 April
2016.
SHORT-TERM RISKS
There have been no significant changes in the company's near future risks and
uncertainties. However, changes in macro economy may indirectly have an
influence also on Okmetic's business.
Business is confronted by risks, which may arise from the company's operations
or changes in its operating environment. Risks that, if materialised, can have
an adverse effect on the company's operations and valuation are described below.
Silicon wafer sales are targeted at the sensor, discrete semiconductor and
analog circuit producers in the electronics industry. The demand of discrete
semiconductor and analog circuit industries 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 has, however, increased the susceptibility of
this market too to economic fluctuations. In addition, the consolidation of
customer companies might be a risk for the company's wafer sales.
Okmetic's share of the global silicon wafer market is around one percent, and
market prices have a notable effect on the price development of the company's
products. The company has considerable pricing power only with 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 of the forecasted open currency position, 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.

OTHER EVENTS IN THE INTERIM PERIOD
Sale of the epi plant in Allen
In a stock exchange release published on 1 April 2016, Okmetic announced that
the company has sold its production plant focusing on epitaxial deposition of
silicon wafers, located in Allen in the United States, to American company
Epitek Silicon instead of the wind-down announced earlier. In line with the
agreement, Okmetic Inc. has transferred the plant to the buyer on 31 March 2016.
The purchase price was 9.5 million US dollars (around 8.5 million euro). The
financing conditions are as follows: 0.25 million US dollars were paid at the
signing of the agreement on 31 March 2016 and the rest of the purchase price is
financed by a vendor note. According to the agreement, 1.5 million US dollars of
the vendor note is paid back in parts on a monthly basis by the use of
inventories mostly or totally during 2016, 5.75 million US dollars in July
2016, 1.0 million US dollars will be paid 12 months after the signing of the
agreement and 1.0 million US dollars 24 months after the signing of the
agreement. Okmetic recorded a non-recurring gain of six million euro based on
the transaction.
As a result of the sale the business, production facility, equipment,
inventories as well as majority of the personnel of Okmetic's US-based
subsidiary Okmetic Inc. transferred to the buyer. Okmetic Inc. continues as a
North American sales office as announced earlier. Okmetic has agreed with Epitek
Silicon that Okmetic will deliver wafers for epitaxial deposition at least for
five years time after the transaction.

Fair value estimation
The group's financial instruments that are measured at fair value comprise
derivatives used for hedging and held for trading.
Fair values of level 1 instruments are based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
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 or liability is observable,
either directly (i.e. price) or indirectly (i.e. derived from the prices).
Electricity derivatives are classified as level 1, currency derivatives as level
2.
Fair value determination
The fair values of electricity derivatives are based on quoted market prices.
The fair values of currency forwards and options are determined on the basis of
market and contract prices of the agreements at the reporting date by applying
commonly used valuation techniques.

RECONCILIATIONS OF KEY FINANCIAL FIGURES
New ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) guidelines on Alternative
Performance Measures (APMs) came into effect on 3 July 2016. Okmetic presents
APMs to reflect the underlying business performance and to enhance comparability
between financial periods. APMs should not be considered as a substitute for
measures of performance in accordance with the IFRS. As of Q2 2016, Okmetic
relabels the previously referenced "without non-recurring items" with "without
items affecting comparability" (IAC).
Exceptional transactions outside the normal business operations are treated as
items affecting comparability. Such items, as defined by Okmetic, are income or
expenses from discontinued operations and the restructuring of operations,
impairment of assets, expenses related to the NSIG tender offer, and any other
transactions management has excluded as non-operational.

In addition to Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) presented above, Okmetic
also reports other performance measures that have not been defined in IFRS.
There have not been any changes in the definitions or labels of these measures,
and they have been published in the annual report 2015.
