PROJECTIONS FOR 2010
The net sales of 2010 are estimated to be on the level of around 80 million
euro. Operating profit for the entire year is estimated to be around 12-14
percent of net sales. Silicon wafer demand is slowing down according to normal
seasonal variation in the last quarter of the year. Net sales and operating
profit estimates are based on the order intake. Reaching these estimates means
that the current positive market situation must not see any significant changes
during the last weeks of the year.
PRESIDENT KAI SEIKKU:
"Despite a slight slowing down at the end of the period under review, the
semiconductor market continued to operate at a record level in the third quarter
of the year. The demand for silicon wafers continued to grow, and the price
level saw a slight increase. The sale of both sensor and semiconductor wafers
grew considerably compared to the modest levels in the corresponding period last
year.
The company's strategic shift towards semiconductor wafer contract manufacturing
was further advanced in the period under review. The volume of wafers acquired
through contract manufacturing reached a record level in July-September.
Okmetic´s long-term goal is to focus on its core competencies crystal growing
and manufacture of demanding sensor wafers. The organisational changes that took
place in the period under review as well as current investments support reaching
this goal.
In 2010, there have been strong fluctuations in currencies that are important to
Okmetic. Due to periodical overheating of the semiconductor market, Okmetic's
order volumes, like the order volumes of the entire silicon industry, are
estimated to have some overlap. As prospects for the rest of the year are
becoming clearer, uncertainty related especially to the last quarter of the year
has reduced slightly. Last week the company updated its estimate of net sales
and operating profit for 2010."

MARKETS
Customer industries sensor, semiconductor and solar energy industries
Sensor industry
The total sensor sale value growth estimate for the entire year is 19.2 percent.
Shipments in the third quarter of 2010 are reflecting this growth rate. The
value of sensor sales in 2010 is expected to exceed the level of the previous
record year 2008. (iSuppli)
Within the sensor segment, proportionally the highest growth will be seen in
MEMS products which have high added value. Okmetic holds an established position
in this product category.
In consumer electronics, the most substantial growth will be seen in new
generation products which partly replace traditional products. A significant
number of new generation products, such as gyroscopes, silicon microphones, and
accelerometers, are based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology.
Semiconductor industry
The semiconductor industry's growth, which has continued for over a year, was
still ongoing in the period under review. Invoiced sales in the semiconductor
market have exceeded the record level of 2008-2009 by 9 percent. In July-
September, the monthly sales average rose above 25 billion US dollars. (iSuppli)
Demand has been strong in all areas of semiconductor industry (IC Insights).
At the end of the third quarter the growth of semiconductor industry sales
moderated. Last summer's growth estimates for 2010 were brought down slightly
(Gartner, IC Insights). However, according to forecasts the growth rate of 2010
will rise to the level of 28-32 percent. Growth is expected to continue next
year (SIA, iSuppli).
Adjustments of semiconductor chain´s stock levels in the last quarter of 2010
will slow down the market development significantly. The stock level and the
effect of accruals at the end of the year will increase uncertainty around the
turn of the year. After this seasonal adjustment, growth is estimated to
continue. (SEMI, iSuppli)
Solar energy industry
The growth of solar cell industry has accelerated and growth estimates have been
corrected upwards during the second half of the year. The industry´s demand is
expected to even double compared to the previous year. (Solarbuzz)
Governmental decisions on subsidies have a significant impact on the solar
energy industry. This brings certain uncertainty to the future development of
the market.
Silicon wafer market
The market development of the silicon wafer industry is monitored in terms of
surface area. According to the report published in October by SMG, the group of
silicon wafer suppliers in SEMI, the volume of wafer shipments in the silicon
wafer industry in 2010 is expected to soar up to 9,142 million square inches,
which would be 39 percent higher than the shipment volume in 2009 and 5.6
percent higher than in the previous record year 2007.
The demand volume for silicon wafers follows the shipment volumes of customer
industry. The demand´s growth rate is expected to moderate, but business is
estimated to remain positive during 2011.
Okmetic
Okmetic´s sensor and semiconductor wafer sales grew over 15 percent in the third
quarter compared to the previous quarter. Okmetic has still succeeded to
increase its market share in the product areas which are important to the
company. For example, Okmetic is a forerunner in offering the sensor industry
silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers which are a growing trend. Okmetic's
announcement in February to invest in additional capacity for SOI production
meets the growing demand in the market.
Contract manufacturing network is being expanded and the amount of wafers
produced by contract manufacturers is increasing. The target is that at the end
of 2010 contract manufacturing covers at least 40 percent of all wafers
delivered. The customer evaluations of 200mm products have proceeded and
shipment volumes are on the rise in the second half of the year.
No new agreements on long-term silicon crystal shipments or technology sales
were made in the third quarter.
PROJECTIONS FOR THE NEAR FUTURE
Semiconductor and sensor wafer orders are estimated to slow down slightly
according to normal seasonal variation during the last quarter of the year
compared to the second and third quarters.
Crystal shipments remain at the level of the beginning of the year.
The net sales of 2010 are estimated to be on the level of around 80 million
euro. Operating profit for the entire year is estimated to be around 12-14
percent of net sales. Silicon wafer demand is slowing down according to normal
seasonal variation in the last quarter of the year. Net sales and operating
profit estimates are based on the order intake. Reaching these estimates means
that the current positive market situation must not see any significant changes
during the last weeks of the year.
SALES
In January-September, Okmetic´s net sales increased by 42.6 percent (decreased
by 22.2%) from the previous year, amounting to 57.8 million euro (40.5 million
euro). The growth of net sales was supported by globally strong demand of the
semiconductor industry. Okmetic´s market share grew in the product areas which
are important to the company.

CHANGES IN COMPANY´S EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT GROUP
Senior Vice President, Finance, IT, and Communications Juha Jaatinen started in
his position on 16 August 2010. At the same time he became a member of the
executive management group.
Okmetic´s organisation was revised and certain job descriptions were specified
according to the company´s updated strategy on 17 September 2010. At the same
time, the structure and responsibilities of the executive management group
changed.
Anna-Riikka Vuorikari-Antikainen is in charge of the product portfolio including
product development, existing products, and the development of product
portfolio.
Jaakko Montonen is responsible for the supply chain. In addition to the
company's own production, Montonen's remit covers development of contract
manufacturing (fab lite) and sourcing.
Deputy to the President and Executive Vice President, Sales Mikko Montonen is
now responsible also for technical customer support and marketing.
In addition to human resources, Markus Virtanen is now responsible also for
quality and environmental issues.
Petri Antola, who is in charge of company's Asian sales, joined the executive
management group and is responsible for technology project sales.
Following the above mentioned changes, Okmetic's executive management group
consists of the following persons:
- Kai Seikku, President
- Mikko Montonen, Executive Vice President, Sales and Deputy to the President
- Juha Jaatinen, Senior Vice President, Finance, IT, and Communications
- Anna-Riikka Vuorikari-Antikainen, Senior Vice President, Products
- Jaakko Montonen, Senior Vice President, Supply Chain

- Markus Virtanen, Senior Vice President, Human Resources, Quality, and
Environment
- Petri Antola, Senior Vice President, Technology Projects
PERSONNEL
On average, Okmetic employed 347 people (2009: 339) in January-September. At the
end of the period, 302 of the company´s employees worked in Finland, 36 in the
US and two in Japan.
BUSINESS RISKS IN THE NEAR FUTURE
The most significant factors causing uncertainty for Okmetic´s business in the
near future are related especially to the sensitivity of semiconductor wafer
demand to economic fluctuations and to the rapid and strong changes in the
market situation. The current strong demand may create excessive orders and
stock in the market. Clearing this stock may decrease demand significantly. The
company only has considerable pricing power with its own special products. The
pricing of other wafers is mainly based on global market price. The most common
trade currency in the field is the US dollar. The company´s result is affected
by US dollar's strong currency changes against the euro.
The fact that Okmetic´s main production facilities are located in the relatively
expensive euro zone place cost pressure for the company. Other challenges
include maintaining our market leadership position in our special fields,
together with meeting the demand gearing towards bigger wafer sizes.
The company risks and uncertainty factors are dealt more profoundly in the
company´s annual report of 2009.
