Petteri Jokitalo, CEO of Scanfil plc:
“We developed strongly in 2014. Our employee satisfaction, our ability to maintain high quality and our customer satisfaction improved. The acquisition of the Hamburg plant enabled us to expand our customer base and gain a strong foothold in the strategically important German market. We have systematically expanded our customer base to cover new industries. Currently, our customers mainly operate in the following sectors: energy and automation, medical technology, environmental measurement solutions and communication as well as products and systems related to urbanisation. A diverse customer base in interesting sectors offers us a large number of growth opportunities.
I am pleased with the development of our turnover and profitability. We have succeeded in increasing our turnover and profitability year-on-year for six consecutive quarters.
We are continuing to aim for profitable growth in 2015. In customer acquisition, we will be focusing on Central Europe and China in particular. We will continue our efforts to improve our processes and efficiency. Our goal is to make Scanfil an even more attractive partner for customers and an even better workplace for employees.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Scanfil’s employees, customers, suppliers, partners and shareholders for their trust and cooperation in 2014.”
GROUP STRUCTURE
The Scanfil Group comprises the parent company Scanfil plc and the Scanfil EMS subgroup. The Scanfil EMS subgroup, in turn, comprises the parent company Scanfil EMS Oy, subsidiaries and the associated company Greenpoint Oy (Scanfil EMS Oy’s share of ownership 40%). Scanfil EMS Oy’s subsidiaries are the Chinese subsidiaries Scanfil (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. and Scanfil (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd., the Hungarian subsidiaries Scanfil Kft. (Budapest) and Rozália Invest Kft. (Budapest),the German subsidiary Scanfil GmbH as well as the Estonia-based Scanfil Oü (Pärnu). The Scanfil EMS group has a 100% holding in all of its subsidiaries.
DEVELOPMENT OF OPERATIONS
Scanfil’s business operations continued to develop favourably in the fourth quarter of 2014. Year-on-year, its turnover increased by more than 9%, and its operating profit grew by nearly 30%.
Its full-year turnover increased by nearly 14% to EUR 214.5 million, and its full-year operating profit was EUR 16.2 million, or 7.6% of turnover. In addition to organic growth, its turnover increased as a result of the acquisition of the German contract manufacturer Schaltex Systems GmbH (now Scanfil GmbH) in early April. The growth of Scanfil’s operating profit was driven by increased turnover and successful productivity improvement and cost control as well as other development measures, such as the deployment of a new ERP system.
Scanfil has actively expanded its customer base to cover various industries, which serves to reduce economic fluctuations.
Up to now, Scanfil has divided its customers into communication and professional electronics customers. However, its customer base has diversified, and a more detailed categorisation of customers is justifiable. Its new customer groups are:
– Energy and Automation: power production and electricity transmission systems, process control systems and systems related to
energy efficiency, such as frequency converters, inverters, switches and automation systems.
– Networks: broadband, communication and mobile network equipment and systems, such as base stations, exchanges and
amplifiers.
– Medtech, Life Sciences and Environmental Measurements: equipment related to health-care technology, research and climate
and environmental measurements, such as dental chairs, analysers, mass spectrometers and meteorological instruments.
– Urban Applications: products and solutions related to urbanisation, such as lifts, escalators, game machines and self-service
equipment.
The new customer segmentation is intended to provide the market with more information about Scanfil’s business environment and market development.
In 2014, sales were divided between the new customer groups as follows:
| EUR, million | 2014 | 2013 | change % | % of turnover |
| Medtech, Life Science, | ||||
| Environmental Measurements | 17.0 | 4.4 | 286.0 | 7.9 |
| Networks | 46.8 | 38.4 | 22.0 | 21.8 |
| Energy and Automation | 61.3 | 57.7 | 6.0 | 28.6 |
| Urban applications | 81.0 | 81.7 | -1.0 | 37.8 |
| Others | 8.4 | 6.3 | 33.0 | 3.9 |
| Total | 214.5 | 188.5 | 14.0 | 100 |
The Medtech, Life Sciences and Environmental Measurements group grew strongly, particularly as a result of the acquisition of Schaltex Systems GmbH. Sales in the Networks group and Energy and Automation group developed well, with demand being particularly strong in the Networks category. In the Urban Applications group, sales remained at the previous year’s level.
During the review period, Scanfil strengthened its position in Germany by acquiring Schaltex Systems GmbH in Hamburg. The company is an electronics contract manufacturer specialising in high-mix, low-volume production. It serves customers in the life sciences and analyser markets, among other fields. The arrangement enhances Scanfil’s growth strategy and goal of expanding its customer base in Central Europe.
Statutory employee negotiations were launched at the Sievi plant of Scanfil EMS Oy, a subsidiary of Scanfil Oyj, in the fourth quarter of 2014. During the negotiations, decisions were made on temporary lay-offs in January–April 2015.

Operating profit for the Group during the review period was EUR 16.2 (11.8) million, representing 7.6% (6.3%) of turnover. Earnings for the review period amounted to EUR 12.3 (8.2) million. Earnings per share were EUR 0.21 (0.14) and return on investment was 16.5% (11.4%).

A total of EUR 47.1 million (35.6) was tied up in net working capital at the end of the year. Net working capital increased as a result of business growth and the acquisition of a subsidiary. Cash flow from investing activities was EUR -8.0 million (+5.8), of which EUR 5.8 million is related to the acquisition of a subsidiary in 2014. In 2013, EUR 9.8 million of the investments were related to the maturing of a deposit with a maturity of more than three months, which was classified as an investment. Cash flow from financing activities was EUR -13.0 million (-11.2). This includes the payment of dividends, loan repayments and the use of a bank credit facility.

NOTIFICATIONS OF CHANGES IN SHAREHOLDING

FUTURE PROSPECTS
Scanfil expects its turnover to increase by 2–8% in 2015. More turnover is generated in the second half than in the first half of the year. The company is expecting its turnover to decrease slightly in the first half of the year, and particularly in the second quarter, compared to 2014.

Turnover for 2014 was EUR 214,5 million and operating profit EUR 16.2 million.
OPERATIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
A weakening of the global economy and a decrease in the international demand for capital goods could have a negative effect on the development of the business operations of Scanfil’s customers and could subsequently reduce demand in the contract manufacturing market. In addition, Scanfil is exposed to risks resulting from exchange rate fluctuations in its business operations.
In other respects, the risks facing Scanfil’s business have remained essentially the same. The company’s risks and risk management are described in greater detail on the company’s website under Corporate Governance.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2015 AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ PROPOSALS TO THE ANNUAL
GENERAL MEETING
Scanfil plc’s Annual General Meeting will be held on 8 April 2015 at the company’s head office in Sievi, Finland.
Dividend for 2014
The company aims to pay dividends amounting to approximately 1/3 of its annual result on a regular basis.
The parent company’s distributable funds are EUR 14,873,027.32. The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 0.07 be paid from the unrestricted shareholders’ equity per share, for a total of EUR 4,041,130.73. The dividend matching day is 10 April 2015. The dividend will be paid to those shareholders who, on the matching day, are entered in the Company’s Register of Shareholders, kept by Euroclear Finland Ltd. The dividend payment day is 17 April 2015.
No significant changes have taken place in the company’s financial position since the end of the financial year. In the view of the Board of Directors, the proposed dividend pay-out will not put the company’s liquidity at risk.
The proposal of Scanfil plc’s nomination committee to the General Meeting for the composition of Scanfil plc’s Board of Directors will be published in connection with the invitation to the General Meeting.
The company publishes a notice of the Annual General Meeting later separately.
