Kalmar is presented as discontinued operations due to the proposed demerger

As announced in a stock exchange release on 1 February 2024, the Board of Directors of Cargotec Corporation ("Cargotec") has approved a demerger plan concerning the separation of the Kalmar business area into an independent listed company (the "Demerger"). The planned completion date of the Demerger is 30 June 2024. The Demerger is subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting of Cargotec to be held on 30 May 2024. Certain major shareholders of Cargotec, including Wipunen varainhallinta oy, Mariatorp Oy, Pivosto Oy and Kone Foundation, holding in the aggregate approximately 41 percent of the shares and approximately 75 percent of the votes in Cargotec, have indicated their support for the proposed Demerger.

1 Includes discontinued operations.

2 The business area 2024 profitability outlook is presented using the same principles which are applied in the 2023 external financial reporting.

Due to the proposed Demerger, Cargotec presents the Kalmar business area as discontinued operations under IFRS 5 Non-current Assets held for Sale and Discontinued operations starting from the first quarter of 2024 and published restated quarterly financial information on its 2023 financials on 8 April 2024. These restated financials constitute comparative information for Cargotec when the Kalmar business area is presented as discontinued operations.

Under IFRS 5, the result from discontinued operations is reported separately from continuing operations' income and expenses in the consolidated statement of income. Comparative periods are restated accordingly. The consolidated balance sheet is not restated. The presented discontinued operations include revenue and operating expenses directly related to the Kalmar business area and other income and costs related to continuing operations that are not expected to continue after the Demerger, or would have been avoided without the Demerger. As a result, financial information presented for Cargotec as continuing and Kalmar business area as discontinued operations do not reflect the past or future profitability of either business on a standalone basis before the Demerger or after it.

Contrary to the presentation method according to IFRS 5, in the presented segment information, Kalmar's profit is still reported according to the normal calculation method, taking depreciation and amortisation into account.

The restated financial information included in this release is unaudited.

Cargotec's President and CEO Casimir Lindholm: Fifth consecutive quarter with good results, demerger progressing according to the plan

The first quarter of 2024 provided a strong start for the year. Hiab, Kalmar and MacGregor all improved their comparable operating profit margins. All businesses combined our comparable operating profit amounted to EUR 137 million, and we delivered the best first quarter in Cargotec's history. This was the fifth consecutive quarter with good results, despite complex business environment. Solid execution continued across business areas and the results were also supported by cost saving actions we launched in October last year. The actions are now to a large extent implemented and we foresee EUR 60 million annual savings for Cargotec in total in 2024 instead of the original estimate of EUR 50 million.

In Kalmar, strong profitability continued and demand was stable for the third quarter in a row. Kalmar's orders received amounted to EUR 402 million. Demand for mobile equipment used in industrial operations and small- and mid-sized terminals remained good and we continue to see delayed decision making in larger orders and destocking in the distribution customer segment. Kalmar's sales declined by 10 percent from the previous year and amounted to EUR 439 million, impacted by lower order intake in the second half of last year. However, Kalmar's comparable operating profit margin increased to 13.5 percent as cost saving actions announced in October last year offset the decline in sales. Kalmar's comparable operating profit amounted to EUR 59 million.

In Hiab, the quarter was the sixth quarter in a row with a stable level of demand and orders received amounted to EUR 386 million. Hiab's sales decreased slightly to EUR 415 million while service sales continued to grow. Despite lower sales, Hiab's comparable operating profit increased by 12 percent and amounted to EUR 69 million, corresponding 16.6 percent of sales, driven by successful management of inflationary pressures and tight cost control.

MacGregor's merchant and services businesses continued to perform well. Orders received increased by 29 percent to EUR 267 million. Orders included a sizable order with a value of almost EUR 50 million. MacGregor's order book continued to increase and now exceeds EUR 1 billion. MacGregor's sales increased by 29 percent to EUR 203 million, driven by increased deliveries to merchant vessels, leading the comparable operating profit to improve to EUR 12 million, representing 6.0 percent of sales.

MacGregor's core businesses merchant and services performed well and, excluding the offshore business, MacGregor's comparable operating profit margin in the first quarter would have been around 11 percent. However, we still have challenges in approximately 10 loss making offshore pilot projects containing advanced technologies. In addition, MacGregor has an ongoing dispute related to one monopile installation vessel project. We have not been committing to any new pilot projects in the past quarters and we have been executing a restructuring programme to turn around the offshore business. At the end of the first quarter, MacGregor's offshore equipment related order book has been reduced to EUR 87 (134) million.

All segments combined, we generated a strong operative cash flow of EUR 174 million, leading to a reduction of our net debt to EUR 57 million. Hence, our gearing is only 3 percent, giving an excellent foundation for our businesses in their planned standalone future.

The planned separation of our core businesses Kalmar and Hiab into two world-leading standalone companies is progressing according to the plan, and we are expecting to reach major milestones this year. The completion date of the demerger is expected to be 30 June 2024. Alongside the separate listing of Kalmar, we will focus on finding a solution for MacGregor and preparing Hiab to become a standalone company.

Cargotec's Board of Directors approved the demerger plan on 1 February. Since the approval of the plan, we have proceeded steadily. On the first day of April, Sami Niiranen started as President of Kalmar. We have also published notice to our Annual General Meeting to be held on 30 May where the formal decision on the transaction will be taken. Certain shareholders, representing approximately 41 percent of the shares and approximately 75 percent of the votes in Cargotec, have already indicated their support for the proposed demerger.

The AGM will also elect both Cargotec's and Kalmar's Boards of Directors. There would be no overlap between the Boards of Cargotec and Kalmar. Furthermore, a Shareholders' Nomination Board would be established for Kalmar.

Due to the high certainty of the transaction, Kalmar is reported as discontinued operations since the beginning of the year. Hence, the combined financial targets set in November 2022 for Kalmar and Hiab are no longer valid. Cargotec's climate target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in all three emission scopes by at least 50 percent by 2030 compared to a 2019 baseline remains valid. The target is validated by the Science Based Targets initiative. We plan to publish new long term performance targets for Hiab and Kalmar in May. The prospectus, which discloses more details on the standalone Kalmar, is also planned to be published in May ahead of the AGM.

Hiab's and Kalmar's Capital Market Days will be held on 28 and 29 May and I warmly welcome you to follow the events virtually.

Cargotec's interim report January–March 2024

The interim report provides estimates on future prospects involving risk and uncertainty factors, and other factors as a result of which the performance, operation or achievements of Cargotec may substantially deviate from the estimates. Forward-looking statements relating to future prospects are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the implementation of which depends on the future business environment and other circumstances.

Operating environment

The business environment in which Cargotec's businesses Hiab, Kalmar and MacGregor operate is complex, stemming from high interest rates and inflation, growing geopolitical tensions, and sluggish growth estimates. However, many of our customers and partners are performing well.

According to the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) world economic outlook published in April 2024, the global economy is projected to grow by 3.2 percent in 2024 and by 3.2 percent in 2025. In the IMF's advanced economies group (a group of countries which includes several key markets for Hiab and Kalmar, such as the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany), the IMF estimates a 1.7 percent growth in 2024 and a 1.8 percent growth in 2025. The report notes that the pace of global growth is low by historical standards, owing to both near-term factors, such as still high borrowing costs and withdrawal of fiscal support, and longer-term effects from the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine; weak growth in productivity; and increasing geo-economic fragmentation. 3

Kalmar's demand is also impacted by the number of containers handled at ports globally, which is estimated to have increased by 5.9 percent during the first quarter and increase by 2.5 percent in 2024. 4

The demand for MacGregor's solutions is impacted by the level of merchant ship and offshore newbuilding contracting at shipyards. By the end of the first quarter, the new ship orders amounted to 353 (Q1/2023: 241). In 2024, the number of new vessel orders is projected to be 1,879 (2023: 1,943). 5 In the merchant segment, the newbuilding demand is turning towards tankers and gas carriers while the container ship and car carrier ordering is slowing down. In offshore, the wind energy is still driving the demand. Environmental regulations and ageing fleets increase demand for services and upgrades.

The restructuring costs in the first quarter were related to the restructuring programme in MacGregor, targeting EUR 10 million annual cost savings compared to 2023. With the restructuring and strengthened project management, Cargotec is continuing to turn around MacGregor's offshore business.

In October 2023, Cargotec initiated cost saving actions in the Cargotec group, Kalmar and Hiab, with the objective to achieve EUR 50 million annual fixed cost savings in 2024. The aim of the cost saving actions was to proactively adjust to an increasingly complex and challenging market environment.

Of the planned total savings of EUR 50 million, EUR 10 million was planned to be achieved in the group, EUR 20 million in Kalmar and EUR 20 million in Hiab. The cost saving actions have to a large extent been executed and the estimated 2024 savings target has been raised to EUR 60 million. With the actions, Kalmar is estimating to achieve EUR 30 million cost savings instead of originally communicated EUR 20 million.

In the first quarter, costs related to the planned separation of Kalmar and Hiab amounted to EUR 16 (0) million. Costs are reported as part of discontinued operations. For the year 2024, costs

related to the planned separation of Kalmar and Hiab is estimated at EUR 65 million. The estimate may be subject to change.

Planned separation of Kalmar and Hiab

On 27 April 2023, Cargotec announced that its Board of Directors had decided to investigate and initiate a process to potentially separate Cargotec's core businesses Kalmar and Hiab into two standalone companies. Cargotec's intention would be to separate Kalmar as a new listed company by means of a partial demerger from Cargotec. The Board of Directors estimated that the separation of Kalmar and Hiab could unlock shareholder value by allowing both businesses to pursue sustainable profitable growth opportunities independently.

On 1 February 2024, Cargotec's Board of Directors approved a demerger plan concerning the separation of Kalmar into an independent listed company. The planned completion date of the demerger is 30 June 2024. The trading in the class B shares of Kalmar on Nasdaq Helsinki is expected to commence on or about 1 July 2024.

The demerger is subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting of Cargotec to be held on 30 May 2024. Certain major shareholders of Cargotec, including Wipunen varainhallinta oy, Mariatorp Oy, Pivosto Oy and Kone Foundation, holding in the aggregate approximately 41 percent of the shares and approximately 75 percent of the votes in Cargotec, have indicated their support for the proposed demerger.

The notice to the AGM was published on 8 April 2024. Cargotec's Board of Directors proposes to the General Meeting that the General Meeting resolves on the partial demerger of Cargotec in accordance with the demerger plan.

Cargotec's Board of Directors also proposes to the General Meeting that Jaakko Eskola be elected as the Chair of the Board and Lars Engström, Marcus Hedblom, Teresa Kemppi-Vasama, Vesa Laisi, Sari Pohjonen and Emilia Torttila-Miettinen be elected as Board members of Kalmar.

In addition, Cargotec's Board of Directors proposes to the General Meeting that a Shareholders' Nomination Board be established for Kalmar and that its Charter is adopted. The Shareholders' Nomination Board of Kalmar would be responsible for preparing proposals to the Annual General Meeting, and if necessary, to the Extraordinary General Meeting, on the number, election, and remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors. The Shareholders' Nomination Board is established until further notice until otherwise decided by the General Meeting.

More information on the Demerger Plan and Annual General Meeting can be found on Cargotec's website www.cargotec.com.

In November 2023, Cargotec's Board of Directors appointed Sami Niiranen as the President of Kalmar. He started in his position on 1 April 2024 and became a member of the Cargotec Leadership team. He shall also be proposed as the President and CEO of the proposed

standalone Kalmar. The composition of Kalmar's leadership team as 1 of April 2024 was announced on 1 February 2024.

On 8 February 2024, Cargotec announced the commencement of written procedures concerning its EUR 100 million 1.250 percent senior unsecured notes due 2025, and EUR 150 million 1.625 percent senior unsecured notes due 2026, to solicit consents, waivers and decisions to amend the terms and conditions as may be required for, or in relation to, the partial demerger of Cargotec. On 26 February 2024, Cargotec announced that the above proposal was approved by a required majority of the holders of the 2025 notes and 2026 notes participating in respective written procedures. The consents and waivers became effective immediately upon approval in the written procedures, and the amendments will become effective at the completion of the demerger which is expected to take place on 30 June 2024. More information can be found from the stock exchange releases published on 8 February 2024, and on 26 February 2024.

The demerger and listing prospectus, expected to be published by Cargotec in May 2024 before the AGM resolving on the demerger, will contain more detailed information on the demerger and Kalmar.

As announced on 14 November 2022, MacGregor will not be part of Cargotec's portfolio in the future. In parallel with the planned demerger, Cargotec's focus remains to continue to look for a solution for MacGregor during 2024. If the planned actions are completed, there would be three separate businesses, Kalmar, Hiab and MacGregor in 2025.

In 2023, Cargotec implemented a large organisational change, moving the majority of group employees to the business areas. A part of group employees from various functions is planned to transfer to Kalmar in the second quarter of 2024.

During the remaining quarters of 2024, the focus will be on executing CSRD-aligned sustainability reporting and ensuring knowledge transfers to Hiab and MacGregor.

During the quarter, Cargotec announced that it had maintained its excellent A- score in the prestigious CDP environmental disclosure for 2023. CDP is an international not-for-profit organisation that runs a global disclosure system for stakeholders, such as investors, companies, cities and states, to manage their environmental impacts. The A- score places Cargotec in the Leadership band of CDP and higher than both the Europe regional average and the company's sector average. Companies with an A- score show environmental leadership and are implementing current best practices related to climate action and reporting.

Short-term risks and uncertainties

Developments in the global economy and cargo flows have a direct effect on Cargotec's operating environment and customers' willingness to invest. Changes in the global economy and supply chains, geopolitical tensions and wars, energy availability, sanctions and trade wars can have an impact on global flow of goods and therefore on the demand of Cargotec's solutions.

Still high borrowing costs and withdrawal of fiscal support, and longer-term effects from the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine; weak growth in productivity; and increasing geo-economic fragmentation are slowing down economic growth.

In the current market situation, demand for Cargotec's solutions might be lower than in previous years. Customers may also try to postpone or cancel orders or demand lower prices. Despite planned cost savings, lower production volumes could impact Cargotec's profitability margins negatively.

Availability of components and raw materials have improved from the previous years. However, disruptions in the supply chain are still possible. Component availability problems as well as increased labour and energy costs could elevate manufacturing costs and increase challenges to control costs and pass them on to the prices of end products.

The deterioration of the global economic outlook and access to finance as well as interest rates that have remained higher than in the past decade can lead to economic and financial difficulties among Cargotec's customers. In some cases their financial position may rapidly deteriorate significantly or even lead to insolvency. The turnover, availability, and cost of skilled personnel can create disturbances to Cargotec and its supplier operations.

Container traffic growth rate and a possible slowdown or contraction in global economic growth may in the longer term have an effect on Kalmar's demand. Kalmar's project executions face risks related to schedule, cost and delivery guarantees.

In addition to economic growth, for example, Hiab's demand is also impacted by the development of the construction market. Low new building activity can negatively impact demand of a part of Hiab's portfolio, especially in Europe. A significant share of Hiab's orders are from the United States. Even though cash flows are hedged for the existing order book, the weakening of the US dollar could in the longer term weaken Hiab's results. Similarly, a stronger dollar can improve

Hiab's results. Hiab's solutions are installed on trucks, and truck delivery bottlenecks can have a negative impact on Hiab's sales development.

MacGregor's market development is affected by the tightening emission regulation for ships and related uncertainty. The increases in the new vessel construction costs and high amounts of order bookings at shipyards may slow down new vessel orders. Global decarbonisation targets have led to a fall in investments by the oil industry, which has long been reflected in low offshore vessel investments. Downward revision of market estimates or rising interest rates could result in an impairment of MacGregor's goodwill. Project executions face risks related to schedule, cost and delivery guarantees, especially those related to offshore business and new product developments. Currently MacGregor has approximately 10 loss making offshore pilot projects containing advanced technologies in the order book. MacGregor has an ongoing dispute related to a monopile installation equipment project.

In November 2022, Cargotec's Board of Directors concluded that MacGregor will not be part of Cargotec's portfolio in the future. Taking into account MacGregor's losses in recent years and significant project cost overruns in the offshore business, in the sale alternative the buyer's view of the company's value may differ significantly from Cargotec's estimate, which could result in a write-down of MacGregor's book value.

In April 2023, Cargotec announced that its Board of Directors had decided to investigate and initiate a process to potentially separate Cargotec's core businesses Kalmar and Hiab into two standalone companies. On 1 February 2024, Cargotec's Board of Directors approved a demerger plan concerning the separation of Kalmar into an independent listed company. The demerger is subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting of Cargotec to be held on 30 May 2024. The planned actions can include risks related to the retention of skilled personnel, customer relationships, the execution of potential transactions, and costs, for example. Changes in operating models, combined with tightening tax regulation, may lead to additional tax payments.

Cargotec is exposed to climate-related risks via environmental, regulatory, and technological changes, and due to the commitments it has made to reduce emissions. The evaluation of the financial impacts of climate change on Cargotec is complicated because the occurrence and timing of the resulting effects are difficult to predict, let alone quantify. To reduce emissions generated in its supply chain, Cargotec must reduce emissions through its whole supply chain from raw materials to components and manufacturing, which may result in changes in the suppliers used, limit the number of potential suppliers, and increase costs.

The reduction of emissions related to the use of Cargotec's products can only be achieved if there is sufficient demand for low-emission products. In order to achieve this, Cargotec must succeed in developing and selling low-emission products. Cargotec's product development has a critical role in achieving this. Cargotec has invested heavily to electrify its product offering and customers are

increasingly choosing low-emission products although the majority of products sold are still based on combustible engine technology. In the future, Cargotec's product offering may be based on multiple low-emission technologies, which may increase complexity and cost.

Reaching the set emission targets requires efforts in every aspect of Cargotec's business. In addition to being exposed to climate-related risks, the ongoing transition process causes new risks, the realisation of which can have significant financial effects. These effects can lead, for example, to impairments of assets due to the shortened life cycles of products, as well as additional costs related to the introduction of new technologies, which may arise in product development, the realisation of project risks, the growth of inventories, and new types of warranty defects. In addition, tightening regulation may directly limit Cargotec's product offering.

Cargotec is involved in certain legal disputes, investigations and trials. The interpretation of international agreements and legislation may weaken the predictability of the end results of legal disputes and trials.

Risks regarding Cargotec's acquisitions are related to, for example, the knowledge of local markets, authority processes, customers, corporate culture, integration, costs, achieving targets, as well as key employees.

Information security risks are also materially related to Cargotec's operations. A cyber attack on systems that are critical to the operations of the company, its customers or suppliers can disrupt operational stability, lead to a decrease in sales and damage Cargotec's reputation, for example.

There are also ethical risks related to the industries and the geographical scope where Cargotec operates. Cargotec has increased actions to ensure compliance with its business guidelines, regulations and ethical principles. Related internal processes are constantly being developed.

More information on risks is available at www.cargotec.com, under Investors > Governance > Internal control and risk management.

Board of Directors' proposal on the distribution of 2023 profit

The parent company's distributable equity on 31 December 2023 was EUR 491,839,387.70. The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting convening on 30 May 2024 that of the distributable profit, a dividend of EUR 2.14 for each of the 9,526,089 class A shares and EUR 2.15 for each of the 54,775,036 (31 December 2023) outstanding class B shares be paid, totalling EUR 138,152,157.86. The remaining distributable equity, EUR 353,687,229.84 will be retained and carried forward.

The dividend shall be paid to shareholders who on the record date for dividend distribution, 3 June 2024, are registered as shareholders in the company's shareholder register. The dividend payment date proposed by the Board of Directors is 10 June 2024.

No significant changes have occurred in Cargotec's financial position after the end of the financial year. Liquidity is at a healthy level and the proposed distribution of dividend poses no risk on the company's financial standing.

Notes to the interim report

1. General information

Cargotec Corporation (1927402-8) is a limited liability company domiciled in Helsinki, Finland. The registered address is Porkkalankatu 5, 00180 Helsinki, Finland. Cargotec Corporation and its subsidiaries form the Cargotec Group (later referred to as Cargotec or company). Cargotec Corporation's class B shares are quoted on Nasdaq Helsinki since 1 June 2005.

2. Accounting principles

The interim report has been prepared according to IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for 2023 and comply with changes in IAS/IFRS standards effective from 1 January 2024 that had no material impact on the interim report.

All figures presented have been rounded, which may cause, for example, the sum of individual figures to deviate from the presented sum total.

As announced in the stock exchange release published on February 1, 2024, the board of Cargotec Oyj ("Cargotec") has approved a demerger plan for the separation of the Kalmar business area into an independent listed company ("Demerger"). The planned implementation date of the demerger is 30 June 2024. The demerger is conditional on the approval of Cargotec's annual general meeting to be held on May 30, 2024. Certain of Cargotec's largest shareholders, including Wipunen varainhallinta oy, Mariatorp Oy, Pivosto Oy and Koneen säätiö, which together own approximately 41 percent of Cargotec's shares and approximately 75 percent of Cargotec's votes, have expressed their support for the proposed Demerger.

As a result of the proposed Demerger, Cargotec presents the Kalmar business area as discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations starting from the first quarter of 2024. In accordance with the IFRS 5 standard, the net result of discontinued operations is presented in the consolidated income statement separately from the income and expenses of continuing operations (Hiab and MacGregor), and in the balance sheet, assets and liabilities related to Kalmar are presented separately in the lines of assets and liabilities classified as held for distribution to owners. The cash flow statement and statement of changes in equity are presented normally, including Kalmar. Additional information about Kalmar's income statement, balance sheet and cash flows is presented in note 17, Discontinued operations, and additional information about the demerger plan is presented in note 18, Demerger plan.

In the income statement, the comparison periods have been adjusted accordingly. The balance sheet has not been adjusted. The presented discontinued operations include revenue and expenses directly related to the Kalmar business area, as well as other income and expenses related to continuing operations that are not expected to continue after the Demerger or that would have been avoided without the Demerger. The balance sheet items that are presented as classified as distributed to the owners include, in addition to the Kalmar segment's balance sheet items, the balance sheet items that will leave Cargotec as a result of the Demerger, and in accordance with IFRS 5, no depreciation is performed on these. Due to the reasons mentioned above, the financial information of Cargotec presented as continuing operations and of Kalmar business area presented as discontinued operations do not reflect the previous or future profitability of either business as separate independent operations before or after the Demerger.

Contrary to the presentation method according to IFRS 5, in the presented segment information, Kalmar's profit is still reported according to the normal calculation method, taking depreciation and amortisation into account.

The adjusted financial information presented in this release is unaudited. Additional information about the restated comparative information has been published in a stock exchange release on April 8, 2024.

3. Prevailing economic uncertainty

Developments in the global economy and cargo flows have a direct effect on Cargotec's operating environment and customers' willingness to invest. Changes in the global economy and supply chains, geopolitical tensions and wars, energy availability, sanctions and trade wars can have an impact on global flow of goods and therefore on the demand of Cargotec's solutions.

Persistently high borrowing costs along with the withdrawal of fiscal support, and longer-term effects from the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, coupled with weak productivity growth and escalating geo-economic fragmentation are hampering economic growth.

In the current market situation, demand for Cargotec's solutions might be lower than in previous years. Customers may also try to postpone or cancel orders or demand lower prices. Despite planned cost savings, lower production volumes could impact Cargotec's profitability margins negatively.

Availability of components and raw materials improved towards the end of the year 2023. However, disruptions in the supply chain are still possible, especially due to the recent events in the Middle East. Component availability problems as well as increased labour and energy costs

could elevate manufacturing costs and increase challenges to control costs and pass them on to the prices of end products.

Deterioration of the global economic outlook and access to finance as well as increases in interest rates can lead to economic and financial difficulties among Cargotec's customers. In some cases their financial position may rapidly deteriorate significantly or even lead to insolvency. The turnover, availability, and cost of skilled personnel can create disturbances to Cargotec and its supplier operations.

MacGregor goodwill impairment testing

MacGregor's goodwill impairment testing was renewed on 31 March 2024 due to the low level of MacGregor's recoverable amount in relation to the assets being tested. Cargotec announced in November 2022 that MacGregor will not be part of Cargotec's portfolio in the future. Cargotec continues to focus on a turnaround of the business and is looking for a solution for MacGregor in 2024. As a result of the decision, the recoverable amount of the MacGregor segment is determined in the goodwill impairment testing based on the fair value less costs to sell. The testing indicated that the recoverable amount exceeded the tested assets by a EUR 146.0 million (December 31, 2023: EUR 142.0 million). The post-tax WACC (weighted average cost of capital) used in the testing was 7.5 (7.7) percent.

Based on the performed impairment testing, no impairment loss has been recorded. However, MacGregor's recoverable amount remains low relative to testable assets and is sensitive to changes in WACC and forecasts. In addition, in the sale alternative, the refinement of MacGregor's fair value may lead to a further impairment of goodwill.

The goodwill of the MacGregor segment was EUR 371.3 (December 31, 2023: 379.5) million at the time of reporting. As part of MacGregor's impairment testing, sensitivity analyses have been performed for the key assumptions based on three different scenarios. The changes tested in the analyses are a 2 percentage point increase in the discount rate in the first scenario, a 10 percent decrease in turnover and a 2 percentage point decrease in operating profit margin throughout the estimation period in the second scenario, and the combined effect of the previous scenarios in the third scenario. The results of the sensitivity analysis are presented in the table below.

Due to the current level of excess value of MacGregor's recoverable amount compared to the book value of assets, should the scenarios considered in the sensitivity analysis realise, the amount to be written off would be; EUR 101 (96) million in the second scenario, and EUR 155 (151) million in the third.

Financial risks related to climate change

Cargotec is exposed to climate-related risks via environmental, regulatory, and technological changes, and due to the commitments it has made to reduce emissions. Evaluation of the financial impacts of climate change on Cargotec is complicated because the occurrence and timing of the resulting effects are difficult to predict, let alone quantify.

Reaching the set emission targets requires efforts in every aspect of Cargotec's business. In addition to being exposed to climate-related risks, the ongoing transition process causes new risks, the realisation of which can have significant financial effects. These effects can lead, for example, to impairments of assets due to the shortened life cycles of products, as well as additional costs related to the introduction of new technologies, which may arise in product development, the realisation of project risks, the growth of inventories, and new types of warranty defects. In addition, tightening regulation may directly limit Cargotec's product offering.

More information about the effects of climate-related risks on Cargotec and Cargotec's commitments to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions is given in the 2023 annual report.

4. Segment information

Cargotec's management and the Board of Directors monitor Kalmar as before, which is why in the presented operating profit, depreciation and amortisation, and EBITDA figures below, depreciations of Kalmar's property, plant and equipment, and amortisations of intangible assets have continued normally, unlike in other parts of this interim report where Kalmar's depreciation

and amortisation have been suspended due to the classification of the business as a discontinued operation.

6. Share-based payments

During the first quarter of the financial year 2024, Cargotec had several share-based incentive programmes in place for the group's key employees. During the quarter, the Board of Directors of Cargotec Corporation did not establish any new share-based incentive programmes.

The following share-based incentive programmes established by the Board of Directors of Cargotec during the past financial years were in operation during the first quarter of 2024:

Performance share programme 2020–2024, performance period 2022–2024. The performance period includes three measuring periods of one calendar year. For its third measuring period 2024, the potential reward will be based on the eco portfolio share in orders received for the key employees of the business areas Kalmar and Hiab. For Cargotec Corporate key employees, the performance criterion is Cargotec's eco portfolio share in orders received. The programme is directed to approximately 100 key employees, including the members of Cargotec Leadership Team. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the performance period will amount up to an approximate maximum total of 280,000 Cargotec's class B shares.

Performance share programme 2023–2025, performance period 2023–2025. The performance period includes three measuring periods of one calendar year. For its second measuring period 2024, the potential reward will be based on the service gross profit for the key employees of the business areas Kalmar and Hiab. For Cargotec Corporate key employees, the performance criterion is Cargotec's service gross profit. The programme is directed to approximately 100 key employees, including the members of Cargotec Leadership Team. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the performance period will amount up to an approximate maximum total of 200,000 Cargotec's class B shares.

Performance share programme 2024–2026, performance period 2024–2026. The performance period includes three measuring periods of one calendar year. For the key employees of the business areas Kalmar and Hiab, the potential reward of the programme from the first measuring period 2024 will be based on the business areas' earning per share (EPS). For the Cargotec Corporate key employees, the performance criteria is Cargotec's earning per share (EPS). The programme is directed to approximately 100 key employees, including the members of Cargotec Leadership Team.The rewards to be paid on the basis of the performance period will amount up to an approximate maximum total of 222,000 Cargotec's class B shares.

Restricted share programme 2020–2024, earnings period 2022–2024. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the performance period will amount up to an approximate maximum total of 31,000 Cargotec's class B shares.

Restricted share programme 2023–2025. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the programme will amount up to an approximate maximum total of 24,000 Cargotec's class B shares.

Restricted share programme 2024–2026. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the programme will amount up to an approximate maximum total of 20,000 Cargotec's class B shares.

Restricted share unit programme 2023–2025. The reward from the programme is conditional on the achievement of strategic goals set by the Board of Directors. The reward is paid in the beginning of 2025. The shares received as a reward from the programme may not be sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise assigned during a lock-up period which ends six months after the reward payment. The programme is intended for approximately 50 Cargotec group's key employees, including selected Leadership Team members. The rewards to be allocated on the basis of the programme will amount up to an approximate maximum total of 268,750 Cargotec's class B shares.

Information about the impact which the planned separation of Cargotec's core businesses Kalmar and Hiab into standalone companies will have on the incentive programmes will be provided in due course when additional information about the separation and its progress is provided.

MacGregor then booked an approximately EUR 18 million provision to cover possible consequences. During the third quarter of 2023, relevant US authorities resolved the matter without monetary penalty, and Cargotec thereby released the provision as an item affecting comparability.

Hiab acquired in January the share capitals of Olsbergs Hydraulics Aktiebolag and Olsbergs Electronics AB at a purchase price of EUR 19.1 million of which the EUR 1.9 million share is conditional and paid later. Olsbergs is the technological leader in the design and manufacture of hydraulic valves and remote control systems. Its solutions are used to manoeuvre Hiab's truck mounted loader cranes and forestry cranes. Via acquisition, Hiab is insourcing these components and has better capabilities to further develop them in an integrated manner with other crane components. In determining the fair values, EUR 3.3 million of intangible assets and EUR 4.9 million of goodwill, which is not tax deductible, were identified. As a result of the acquisition, approximately 100 employees transferred to Hiab.

17. Discontinued operations

As announced in the stock exchange release published on February 1, 2024, the Board of Directors of Cargotec Corporation ("Cargotec") has approved a demerger plan for the separation of the Kalmar business area into an independent listed company ("Demerger"). The planned implementation date of the demerger is 30 June 2024. The demerger is conditional on the approval of Cargotec's annual general meeting to be held on May 30, 2024. Certain of Cargotec's largest shareholders, including Wipunen varainhallinta oy, Mariatorp Oy, Pivosto Oy and Koneen säätiö, which together own approximately 41 percent of Cargotec's shares and approximately 75 percent of Cargotec's votes, have expressed their support for the proposed Demerger. Additional information about the demerger plan is presented in note 18, Demerger plan.

As a result of the proposed Demerger, Cargotec presents the Kalmar business area as discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations starting from the first quarter of 2024. In accordance with the IFRS 5 standard, the net result of discontinued operations is presented in the consolidated income statement separately from the income and expenses of continuing operations (Hiab and MacGregor), and in the balance sheet, assets and liabilities related to Kalmar are presented separately in the lines of assets and liabilities classified as distributed to owners. The cash flow statement and statement of changes in equity are presented normally, including Kalmar.

In the income statement, the comparison periods have been adjusted accordingly. The balance sheet has not been adjusted. The presented discontinued operations include revenue and expenses directly related to the Kalmar business area, as well as other income and expenses related to continuing operations that are not expected to continue after the Demerger or that would have been avoided without the Demerger. The balance sheet items that are presented as held for distribution to the owners include, in addition to the Kalmar segment's balance sheet items, the balance sheet items that will leave Cargotec as a result of the Demerger, and in accordance with IFRS 5, no depreciation is performed on these. Due to the reasons mentioned above, the financial information of Cargotec presented as continuing operations and of Kalmar business area presented as discontinued operations do not reflect the previous or future profitability of either business as separate independent operations before or after the Demerger.

The tables below include additional information about Kalmar as discontinued operations.

18. Demerger plan

As announced in a stock exchange release on 1 February 2024, the Board of Directors of Cargotec Corporation ("Cargotec") approved a demerger plan concerning the separation of the Kalmar business area into an independent listed company (the "Demerger"). The planned completion date of the Demerger is 30 June 2024. The Demerger is subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting (the "AGM") of Cargotec to be held on 30 May 2024. Certain major shareholders of Cargotec, including Wipunen varainhallinta oy, Mariatorp Oy, Pivosto Oy and Kone Foundation, holding in the aggregate approximately 41 percent of the shares and approximately 75 percent of the votes in Cargotec, have indicated their support for the proposed Demerger.

The Hiab business area of Cargotec would, in the Demerger, remain with the current company. As announced by Cargotec on 14 November 2022, MacGregor, which is currently one of the three business areas of Cargotec, will not be part of Cargotec's portfolio in the future. Therefore, in parallel, Cargotec's focus remains to continue looking for a solution for MacGregor during 2024.

Based on the Board of Directors' assessment, Demerger would be expected to improve the business performance of Kalmar and Hiab through higher agility, decisiveness, and stronger management focus. In addition, as two standalone businesses, the companies are positioned to achieve faster organic and inorganic growth thanks to a more tailored capital allocation strategy and flexible access to external capital. The Board of Directors believes the transaction would increase the attractiveness of the companies and facilitate their fair valuation. Furthermore, the separation would improve governance, simplify the structures of the entities, and provide greater transparency and accountability.

According to the demerger plan, Cargotec will demerge so that all assets, debts, and liabilities of Cargotec relating to the Kalmar business area or mainly serving the Kalmar business area of Cargotec are transferred to a new company named Kalmar Corporation to be incorporated in the Demerger.

The Demerger would be executed as a partial demerger, as set out in the Finnish Companies Act (624/2006, as amended). The shareholders of Cargotec shall receive as demerger consideration one new share of the corresponding share class (i.e., class A or class B) of Kalmar for each class A and class B share owned in Cargotec. There shall be the corresponding two share classes in Kalmar as in Cargotec, i.e., class A and class B, which will carry the same voting and dividend rights as class A and class B shares in Cargotec, respectively. No action would be required from the shareholders to receive the demerger consideration.

Cargotec's shareholders resolve on the Demerger in Cargotec's 2024 Annual General Meeting on 30 May 2024. The planned completion date of the demerger pursuant to the demerger plan is 30 June 2024. The trading in the class B shares of Kalmar on Nasdaq Helsinki is expected to commence on or about 1 July 2024. Starting from the first quarter of 2024, Cargotec presents the Kalmar business area as discontinued operations in its financial reporting in accordance with the IFRS 5 standard. The Board of Directors of Cargotec may resolve not to complete the Demerger if it considers that the completion would no longer be in the best interests of Cargotec and its shareholders due to a change in circumstances that has occurred or arisen after the demerger plan has been signed.

Additional information about the demerger plan can be found in the press release published by Cargotec on 1 February 2024. Additionally, The demerger and listing prospectus, which is expected to be published by Cargotec in May 2024 before the AGM, will contain more detailed information on the Demerger and Kalmar.
