Interim Report

ELCOTEQ SE'S INTERIM REPORT JANUARY - MARCH 2009 (UNAUDITED)
Elcoteq SE's net sales between January and March decreased as
expected and totaled 470.0 million euros (908.7 in January - March
2008). Operating income was -38.3 million euros (-9.5) and -24.7
excluding restructuring expenses. The first-quarter result was
strongly influenced by the economic crisis and the rapid changes in
our customers' markets. Elcoteq has vigorously adjusted its cost
structure with the Restructuring Plan announced in January, but it
will only start to come to full effect from the second quarter
onwards.

This interim report has been prepared using IFRS recognition and
measuring principles. Tables have been prepared in compliance with
the IAS 34 requirements approved by the EU. The comparative figures
given in the body text of this report are figures for the
corresponding period in the previous year, unless stated otherwise.
Net Sales and Result
Elcoteq recorded net sales of 470.0 million euros (908.7) between
January and March. Operating income totaled -38.3 million euros
(-9.5) and was -24.7 million euros excluding restructuring costs. All
segments posted negative results since they were all affected by the
economic crisis and the rapid changes in our customers' markets.
Sales are typically lower in the first quarter, and it was this time
coupled with customers' particularly full sales channels and the fact
that customers have been consuming their own buffer stocks.
Profitability has been affected by the decline in sales and
restructuring costs arising from adjustments in the cost base. Such
reductions in the cost base will have more visible impact from the
second quarter onwards.
The Group's net financial expenses were 11.5 million euros (6.0).
Income before taxes was -49.9 million euros (-15.4) and net income
totaled -45.6 million euros (-11.6). Earnings per share (EPS) were
-1.40 euros (-0.35). Financial expenses were affected by the high
debt level and currency fluctuations.
The Group's gross capital expenditures on fixed assets between
January and March were 2.0 million euros (27.7), or 0.4% of net
sales. Depreciation amounted to 18.9 million euros (17.1).
Investments have been reduced to a minimum to increase existing asset
capacity utilization ratios.
Financing and Cash Flow
Cash flow after investing activities was -50.7 million euros (-1.1).
Cash flow received by the Group from sold accounts receivable was
52.3 million euros at the end of March (136.5). The negative cash
flow was a result of high volatility in customer demand in the first
quarter. Demand fluctuations caused challenges in maintaining the
working capital, especially inventories, at an optimal level. Cash
flow is expected to improve in the second quarter because the
measures taken to reduce the component purchase orders implemented in
the first-quarter will gradually release cash tied up in working
capital.
At the end of March 2009, Elcoteq had cash and unused but immediately
available credit lines totaling 118.9 million euros (368.3 million
euros in the first quarter of 2008 and 165.9 million euros at the end
of 2008). These credit limits included a 230 million euro syndicated,
committed credit facility, of which 20 million euros were unused. The
company has signed a term sheet with the bank syndicate to renew the
syndicated, committed credit facility and the finalization of the
loan master agreement is currently under progress.
At the end of March, the Group's interest-bearing net debt amounted
to 286.4 million euros (143.6). The solvency ratio was 12.1% (19.2%
at the end of March 2008) and gearing was 3.2 (0.8). Rolling 12-month
return on capital employed (ROCE) was -11.3% (-10.7%).
Business Areas
As of the beginning of 2008, Elcoteq's segment reporting covers three
Business Areas: Personal Communications, Home Communications and
Communications Networks. In the first quarter of 2009, Personal
Communications contributed 48% (76%), Home Communications 25% (9%)
and Communications Networks 27% (15%) of the Group's net sales.
Elcoteq's largest customers (in alphabetical order) are EADS,
Ericsson, Funai, Huawei, Nokia Devices, Nokia Siemens Networks,
Philips, Research in Motion (RIM), Sony Ericsson and Thomson.
Net sales of the Personal Communications Business Area were 227.7
million euros (688.4). The segment's operating income was -10.2
million euros (5.4) and -9.4 million euros excluding restructuring
expenses. Personal Communications net sales have decreased mainly due
to the manufacturing re-allocation and in-sourcing decisions made by
Nokia Devices.
Net sales of the Home Communications Business Area increased compared
to the first quarter a year earlier, standing at 116.9 million euros
(81.4). The segment's operating income was -9.9 million euros (-0.5)
and -3.5 million euros excluding restructuring expenses. The increase
in net sales came mainly from the acquisition of the flat TV
manufacturing plant in Juarez, Mexico. The result was strongly
affected by the one-time restructuring costs of 6.4 million euros.
Net sales of the Communications Networks business area decreased
slightly compared to last year's first quarter, standing at 125.3
million euros (139.0). The segment's operating income was -10.3
million euros
(-4.2) and -4.5 million euros excluding restructuring expenses.
Elcoteq's first-quarter net sales were derived from the geographical
areas as follows: Europe 40% (51%), Asia-Pacific 15% (24%) and
Americas 46% (25%).
Personnel
At the end of March 2009, the Group employed 14,569 (23,996) people.
The geographical distribution of the workforce was as follows: Europe
6,597 (10,838), Asia-Pacific 3,231 (7,127) and Americas 4,741
(6,031). The average number of employees on Elcoteq's direct payroll
between January and March was 14,446 (17,894).
Progress in the Restructuring Plan
The Restructuring Plan announced on January 15 is proceeding as
planned in terms of plant closures and cost cutting. As a result of
the rapid decrease in net sales, personnel reductions were carried
out on a somewhat wider scale than initially planned. This has also
affected the one-time restructuring costs, which were higher than
anticipated. The total restructuring costs are expected to be around
30 million euros, of which 13.5 million euros were booked in December
2008 and the rest by the third quarter of 2009. Earlier, the Company
estimated that the total restructuring costs would be 24 million
euros, of which 13.5 million euros were booked in 2008. The cost
structure has been adjusted to the current manufacturing volumes, but
also allows for rapid growth. The Company can leverage the new,
reduced cost base when the manufacturing volumes pick up again.
Equity Project
In January, the Company commenced a project to strengthen its balance
sheet. The Equity Project is designed to provide the financial means
for future growth with both existing and new customers. The Company
has advanced to a phase where discussions are now carried out with a
limited number of equity investors who have indicated an interest to
enter into final negotiations and confirmatory due diligence. The
selection of the equity partner and final negotiations are scheduled
to be completed during the first half of 2009.
Shares and Shareholders
At the end of March 2009, the company had 127,795,919 shares divided
into 22,025,919 series A shares and 105,770,000 series K Founders'
shares. All the series K Founders' shares are held by the company's
three principal owners.
Elcoteq had 9,416 shareholders on March 31, 2009. There were a total
of 6,666,122 foreign and nominee registered shares, representing
5.22% of the votes.
Decisions of the Annual General Meeting
Elcoteq SE's Annual General Meeting took place on March 23, 2009 in
Luxembourg. The Meeting confirmed the consolidated and parent
company's income statements and balance sheets for the financial year
2008 and discharged the members of the Board of Directors and the
statutory auditor from liability for the financial year. The Meeting
approved the Board's proposal that no dividend be distributed for the
financial year January 1 - December 31, 2008.
The Meeting re-elected all the current members to the Board of
Directors: President Martti Ahtisaari; Mr. Heikki Horstia, Vice
President, Treasurer, Wärtsilä Corporation; Mr. Eero Kasanen, Rector
of the Helsinki School of Economics; Mr. François Pauly, General
Manager of Sal. Oppenheim Jr. & Cie S.C.A; Mr. Antti Piippo,
principal owner and founder-shareholder of Elcoteq SE; Mr. Henry
Sjöman, founder-shareholder of Elcoteq SE; Mr. Juha Toivola, Master
of Arts; and Mr. Jorma Vanhanen, founder-shareholder of Elcoteq SE.
The term of office of each Board member extends until the end of the
following Annual General Meeting. Mr. Ahtisaari, Mr. Horstia, Mr.
Kasanen, Mr. Pauly and Mr. Toivola are independent Board members, and
represent more than half of the Board's composition.
Convening after the Annual General Meeting in Luxembourg, the Board
of Directors elected Mr. Antti Piippo as its Chairman and Mr. Juha
Toivola as the Deputy Chairman. Mr. Piippo was elected Chairman of
the Nomination Committee and the Working Committee and Mr. Henry
Sjöman, Mr. Juha Toivola and Mr. Jorma Vanhanen as members of these
committees. Mr. Toivola was elected Chairman of the Compensation
Committee and the Audit Committee and President Martti Ahtisaari, Mr.
Heikki Horstia, Mr. Eero Kasanen and Mr. Pauly as members of these
committees.
The Meeting approved the proposal of the Audit Committee of the Board
of Directors to appoint the firm of authorized public accountants
KPMG Audit S.à.r.l under the supervision of Mr. Philippe Meyer as the
Company's auditors for the financial year ending on December 31,
2009.
New Incentive Plan - Profitability Turnaround
On February 10, the Board of Directors approved a new profitability
turnaround plan for the company's key personnel in the form of a
share subscription plan.
The potential reward from the plan is based on reaching the targets
set by the Board of Directors for the Group's consolidated income
before taxes for the first and second half of year 2009. Based on the
achieved targets the company would issue a maximum of 1,500,000 new
series A shares of which 50% would be issued during June 2010 and the
remaining 50% during January 2011. The new series A shares, if any,
will be issued according to and under the authorization granted to
the Board of Directors in the company's Articles of Association.
Short-Term Risks and Uncertainty Factors
The Company's key short-term challenges are to conclude the planned
equity increase, improve operational profitability and free up cash.
In addition, the Company must continue to maintain in the changing
market circumstances the right service offering, optimized cost level
and ability to react rapidly to demand changes.
Prospects
Under the current market conditions it is extremely difficult to make
exact forecasts. The second-quarter net sales are expected to be on
par with the first-quarter of 2009. Operating income is expected to
improve as the restructuring actions start having an impact on the
cost structure. Cash flow is expected to be positive due to the
actions taken in the second quarter to reduce working capital,
including the inventories.
Successful completion of the equity increase project is expected to
speed up the closing of several new programs, which are under
negotiations both with existing and new customers. Such equity
increase is also expected to clearly stabilize the financing
structure of the Company.
The Company's priority areas for 2009 are the strengthening of the
equity base, further balancing of the customer base, clear
improvement in bottom-line profitability through the ongoing
restructuring actions and strong cash generation through improved
profitability, limited capital expenditure and further working
capital reduction.
Elcoteq plans its material purchases and capacity based on the
forecasts received from customers and market analysis. Such forecasts
may fluctuate during the forecast period, causing uncertainty in the
Company's own forecasts.

APPENDIX 8
RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES
During the first quarter of 2009, Elcoteq launched a restructuring
plan that applies to whole Group still some part of the costs
relating to the plan were recognized already in 2008. The plan
targets to prepare the company for the exceptionally uncertain market
situation and general economic development. This plan is the next
step in the company's drive to increase profitability,
cost-efficiency and operational excellence. The plan contains several
elements. The first measure is to close the plants in Arad (Romania),
Richardson (USA) and St. Petersburg (Russia) as well as to
consolidate the plant in Shenzhen (China) to the plant in Beijing.
The second measure consists of the processes of reducing personnel at
several plants globally. In addition the company will reduce other
operative costs.
The Group's restructuring expenses during the first quarter of 2009,
13.645 thousand euros, comprise the following items:
EUR 1, 000 2009
