Cargotec changed the definition of the alternative performance measure comparable operating profit starting from 1 January 2023. The restated comparable operating profit will also include the impacts of the purchase price allocation, which amounted to EUR 16 million in 2022. Of these items, EUR 1 million were related to Kalmar, EUR 3 million to Hiab, and EUR 12 million to MacGregor. Additional information regarding the changed definition is presented in the stock exchange release published on 4 April 2023.
Cargotec's eco portfolio criteria has been revised and the 2022 eco portfolio sales has been restated accordingly.
Cargotec has revised its second quarter 2023 eco portfolio sales. Initially reported EUR 362 million has been revised to EUR 397 million which represented 33 percent of Cargotec's consolidated sales in the second quarter.
In the big picture, the third quarter was a continuation of the first half of the year. We are operating in an increasingly complex business environment due to geopolitical uncertainty, high interest rates and low consumer confidence. With larger investments in particular, we saw our customers postpone their investment decisions. Our orders received decreased to EUR 914 million, a 20 percent decline from the comparison period. We kept harvesting on our large order book collected in the past two years when the order intake was exceptionally high. Our operational execution was at a good level and sales increased by 6 percent to EUR 1,102 million. Eco portfolio sales continued to grow faster, by 13 percent, representing 33 percent of total sales in the quarter. Driven by higher sales and successful management of inflationary pressures and costs, our comparable operating profit improved by 48 percent to EUR 131 million.
In Kalmar, the demand picture was mixed and orders received declined by 17 percent. Demand for smaller mobile equipment used in small and midsized terminals and industrial operations remained at a good level while our distribution-related product categories were impacted by destocking. With larger equipment, the customer decision making remained slow. Kalmar's sales decreased by 4 percent to EUR 503 million. The sales decline was however more than offset by a more favourable sales mix, successful management of inflationary pressures and reduced heavy cranes related losses with comparable operating profit improving by 41 percent to EUR 71 million.
In Hiab, orders received continued to be affected by delayed customer decision making, stemming from high inflation and interest rates as well as extended truck chassis delivery times. Hiab's order book remained at a good level. Hiab's sales increased from the comparison period by 11 percent to EUR 420 million, driving its comparable operating profit up by 24 percent to EUR 62 million.
In MacGregor, the demand was healthy in merchant and service businesses. Despite orders received decreasing by 16 percent against a strong comparison period, MacGregor's order book increased to EUR 993 million. The strong order book is gradually starting to convert into sales and in Q3, sales increased by 31 percent to EUR 179 million. MacGregor's turnaround is progressing and Q3 was another quarter with positive comparable operating profit and improved profitability, especially in merchant and services businesses. However, we still have challenges related to offshore projects we have committed to in the past. We continue to look for a solution for MacGregor in 2024.
Separation of our core businesses Kalmar and Hiab into two world-leading standalone companies is progressing according to the previously communicated plan. We will provide more details on the progress of the planned demerger earliest in conjunction with the full year 2023 result release.
We are fully focusing on executing our business. In the past two years, our main focus has been on delivering the order book, which reached an all-time high level a year ago. We have been working with continuous profitability improvements, invested in R&D, eco portfolio development and in the service business growth. We have also updated our action plans to be ready for different market scenarios.
In the past quarters, our orders received have returned back to pre-COVID levels and our order book has declined by EUR 500 million. Hence, we are planning to initiate new cost saving actions in Cargotec group, Kalmar and Hiab to achieve EUR 50 million annual fixed cost savings in 2024. Half of the cost savings would come from a reduction of a maximum of 350 roles globally. The planned actions play a part in funding our growth journey based on helping our customers to solve their sustainability challenges with our innovative, high quality solutions. By embracing these actions, we would emerge stronger and more resilient.
Despite prevailing market uncertainty, I feel confident about our future. We have made significant progress in many areas and with the cost saving actions, combined with continuous improvements and investments, we aim to safeguard our profitability and keep our core businesses' comparable operating profit above 10 percent even in challenging market conditions. For 2023, our outlook is unchanged. We estimate that core businesses' 2023 comparable operating profit improves from 2022 (EUR 384 million) and MacGregor's comparable operating profit would be positive (EUR -47 million).

Cargotec (Nasdaq Helsinki: CGCBV) enables smarter cargo flow for a better everyday with its leading cargo handling solutions and services. Cargotec's business areas Kalmar, Hiab and MacGregor are pioneers in their fields. Through their unique position in ports, at sea and on roads, they optimise global cargo flows and create sustainable customer value. Cargotec has signed the United Nations Global Compact Business Ambition for 1.5°C. The company's sales in 2022 totalled approximately EUR 4.1 billion and it employs around 11,800 people. www.cargotec.com
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.
The business environment in which Cargotec operates is increasingly complex, stemming from high interest rates and inflation, volatility of the financial markets, fear of recession, continued supply chain bottlenecks, growing geopolitical tensions, and sluggish growth estimates. However, many of our customers and partners are performing well.
The demand for Cargotec's core businesses Hiab and Kalmar is influenced by the development of the global GDP per capita. According to the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) world economic outlook published in October 2023, global growth is forecast to slow from 3.5 percent in 2022 to 3.0 percent in 2023 and 2.9 percent in 2024. For advanced economies (a group of countries which includes several key Cargotec markets, such as the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany), the expected slowdown is from 2.6 percent in 2022 to 1.5 percent in 2023 and 1.4 percent in 2024.4
The demand for MacGregor's cargo and load handling solutions is impacted by the level of merchant ship contracting, which by the end of the third quarter amounted to 1,127 (928).5 Based on firm ordering this year, the merchant ship 2023 order forecast is upgraded from the previous report's estimate 1,316 to 1,549 units (actual 2022: 1,720).6 In the offshore sector, the number of new contracts in the third quarter was 92 (148)5 . Energy transition and securing energy supply combined with high energy prices drive investments in offshore wind, also boosting offshore oil & gas. The amount of new vessel contracting is still expected to remain modest, with offshore wind and replacement ordering being the key drivers. The offshore newbuild contracting forecast for 2023 is 162 (actual 2022: 197).6 In the coming years, tightening climate regulation will encourage investments in the fleet renewal and upgrade. This is expected to create demand for solutions supporting ship operators' energy efficiency and emissions reductions targets.

As part of the transaction, LSV will transfer the immaterial assets for Kalmar and act as Kalmar's contract manufacturing partner for the acquired electric terminal tractor product range. Completed on 1 September 2023, the transaction will not have a significant impact on Kalmar's sales in 2023.
Cargotec is actively developing and maintaining an M&A pipeline. The aim of potential M&A would be to strengthen Cargotec's portfolio and to complement the offering, enter new developing markets and seek growth in adjacent segments.
Information regarding acquisitions and divestments is available in Note 15, Acquisitions and disposals.
Restructuring costs in the third quarter amounted to EUR 2 (15) million and to EUR 8 (55) million in January–September. The restructuring costs in January–September were related to the restructuring programme in MacGregor, where 280 roles will be reduced in sequences, targeting EUR 23 million annual cost savings compared to 2022. Out of the total savings, EUR 14 million is estimated to be realised in 2023. WIth the restructuring, Cargotec is aiming to turn around MacGregor's offshore business.
Cargotec plans to initiate new cost saving actions in 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 is to proactively adjust to an increasingly complex and challenging market environment.
Out of the planned total savings of EUR 50 million, EUR 10 million is planned to be achieved in the group, EUR 20 million in Kalmar and EUR 20 million in Hiab. Half of the cost savings would come from a reduction of a maximum of 350 roles globally. As the planning progresses, Cargotec will engage and work closely with its employees and employee representatives to ensure that they are fully informed and consulted about the proposals. Processes and timelines will vary in different countries and functions.
Estimated one-off costs of the planned actions are approximately EUR 20 million. Booking of the costs is dependent on the timing and outcome of the personnel negotiations. Costs would be booked above comparable operating profit.
For the year 2023, Cargotec estimates to book EUR 20 million restructuring costs of ongoing restructuring programmes in MacGregor. The full year estimate for items affecting comparability is EUR -35 million including restructuring costs, costs related to planning of the potential separation of Kalmar and Hiab and the provision release in MacGregor. The cost estimate may be subject to change. The costs related to the planned savings programme in Cargotec group, Kalmar and Hiab would not be booked as items affecting comparability.
More information regarding restructuring costs and other items affecting comparability is available in Note 7, Comparable operating profit.

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 planning of the potential partial demerger is intended to take place during 2023 and, if carried out, the potential execution and separate listing of Kalmar on Nasdaq Helsinki, Finland, would take place in 2024.
The planned partial demerger would be a logical next step in Cargotec's previously announced aim to increase the independence of its businesses. Based on its initial assessment, Cargotec's Board of Directors estimates that the separation of Kalmar and Hiab could unlock shareholder value by allowing both businesses to pursue sustainable profitable growth opportunities independently.
The planning of the considered partial demerger has progressed in line with previously communicated timeline and objectives. As part of the demerger planning process, Cargotec Board of Directors decided in August that it would propose for the forthcoming Annual General meeting that the Chair of the Board of the proposed standalone Kalmar would be Pekka Ala-Pietilä and that current Cargotec Board members Teresa Kemppi-Vasama and Tapio Kolunsarka would be elected as members of the Board of standalone Kalmar.
In addition, Pekka Ala-Pietilä was appointed to serve as consultant for Cargotec to assist in the forming of standalone Kalmar until the consummation of the proposed demerger. However, Pekka Ala-Pietilä has informed the Board that he is not available for these roles any longer, due to personal reasons.
To support the listing readiness preparations, the Board decided in August to establish a new external Demerger Committee to oversee the preparations for listing readiness and corporate governance matters for the potential standalone Kalmar. The Demerger Committee consisted of Pekka Ala-Pietilä, Teresa Kemppi-Vasama and Tapio Kolunsarka. Hence, as Pekka Ala-Pietilä is no longer available, the Demerger committee will consist of Teresa Kemppi-Vasama and Tapio Kolunsarka going forward.
The Board has initiated the process to identify a new Chair of the Board candidate as well as additional Board member candidates for the standalone Kalmar and a search for a permanent CEO of Kalmar as part of the planned demerger process.
Teresa Kemppi-Vasama and Tapio Kolunsarka will also continue to serve as members of the Cargotec Board.
The planning of the considered partial demerger will continue throughout 2023. Cargotec is currently implementing a large organisational change and moving the majority of group employees to the business areas. More details on the progress of the planned demerger will be provided earliest in the conjunction with the full year 2023 result release. In parallel, Cargotec's focus remains to continue to look for a solution for MacGregor during 2024.
At the end of the quarter, costs related to planning of the planned separation of Kalmar and Hiab amounted to EUR 12 (0) million. Of the costs, EUR 7 million is booked in Kalmar and EUR 6 million in corporate administration and support functions.
During the third quarter, Cargotec finalised its updated Sustainability Policy. Compared to the previous policy, the updated one takes a much broader perspective on the company's material topics, and its structure is aligned with Cargotec's sustainability agenda. The updated policy includes commitments on the following topics: climate change, circular economy, human rights, health and safety, diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I), sustainable finance and responsible sourcing. The policy is published on Cargotec's website and applies to all Cargotec employees (including the employees of our subsidiaries and business areas) as well as suppliers and other business partners according to contract terms.
In January 2023, the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) came into force. To prepare for the CSRD, Cargotec initiated a group-wide project to raise awareness of the upcoming reporting requirements and how they can be utilised to drive successful business transformation. As part of the project, Cargotec has been working on comprehending its current reporting capabilities and readiness to report in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). To clarify the reporting scope, Cargotec initiated a double materiality assessment during the second quarter. The assessment was finalised during Q3 and considers both the company's impact and financial materiality. The CSRD will replace the existing EU Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD), which applies to Cargotec.
Cargotec's eco portfolio criteria was revised in 2022, based on the EU Taxonomy criteria, and all eco portfolio sales are reported in accordance with the revised criteria. In the third quarter of 2023, eco portfolio sales increased by 13 percent and totalled EUR 367 (325) million, representing 33 (31) percent of consolidated sales. Eco portfolio sales increased in both climate change mitigation and transition to circular economy categories, and in all business areas.
In January–September, the eco portfolio sales increased by 24 percent and totalled EUR 1,111 (896) million, representing 33 (31) percent of consolidated sales.11
At the end of the third quarter, Cargotec's safety performance, measured by rolling 12 months industrial injury frequency rate (IIFR), was 3.9 (5.1). The IIFR in Cargotec's assembly sites was 2.7 (6.3), while it was 4.7 (4.4) in non-assembly operations. The target for 2023 is to have an IIFR rate below 4.0 in all operations.
On 16 August 2023, Cargotec announced that, as part of the demerger planning and listing readiness, Cargotec's Board of Directors has decided to strengthen the Presidency of Kalmar, and has agreed with Michel Van Roozendaal that he will step down as President of Kalmar and as member of Cargotec leadership team effective immediately. Following this, the Board appointed Cargotec's President and CEO Casimir Lindholm to also act as interim President of Kalmar until the search for a permanent CEO of Kalmar has been completed as part of the planned demerger process. In addition, Mikael Laine, SVP Strategy, will act as interim COO of Kalmar business area in addition to his current role.
On 30 September 2023, Cargotec's Leadership Team consisted of Casimir Lindholm, President and CEO and interim President, Kalmar; Mikko Puolakka, Executive Vice President, CFO; Mikko Pelkonen, Senior Vice President, Human Resources; Mikael Laine, Senior Vice President, Strategy and interim COO, Kalmar; Soili Mäkinen, Senior Vice President, Sustainable Business Development; Outi Aaltonen, General Counsel; Carina Geber-Teir, Senior Vice President, Communications; Scott Phillips, President, Hiab; and Leif Byström, President, MacGregor.

In the third quarter of 2022, Cargotec and its subsidiary MacGregor USA, Inc. made a voluntary self-disclosure to US authorities regarding compliance with certain export regulations related to information management in the context of MacGregor's US Government business in 2022. 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 is thereby releasing the provision. This has been booked as an EUR 18 million item affecting comparability in the third quarter 2023.
As announced on 14 November 2022, MacGregor will not be part of Cargotec's portfolio in the future. Cargotec will continue to focus on a turnaround of the business and to look for a solution for MacGregor in 2024.

In the share issue, 224,797 own class B shares held by the company were transferred on Friday 31 March 2023 without consideration to the key employees participating in the share-based incentive programmes in accordance with the programme-specific terms and conditions. More detailed information about the launch and the terms and conditions of these programmes are available in the stock exchange releases published on 6 February 2020 and 13 May 2022.
The decision on the directed share issue is based on the authorisation granted to the Board of Directors by the Annual General Meeting on 23 March 2023. According to the authorisation, the Board of Directors can decide on a share issue amounting to a maximum of 952,000 class A shares and 5,448,000 class B shares.
On 20 July 2023, Cargotec announced that the Board of Directors has decided to exercise the authorisation of the Annual General Meeting on 23 March 2023 to repurchase the company's own shares. According to the decision, Cargotec will repurchase 400,000 class B shares to be used as reward payments for Cargotec's share-based incentive programmes. The shares will be purchased at public trading on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd. at the market price. According to the authorisation given to the Board of Directors by the Annual General Meeting, the maximum amount of shares that can be acquired is 952,000 class A shares and 5,448,000 class B shares. Cargotec repurchased 400,000 own shares at an average price of EUR 42.8460 between 21 July – 18 August 2023.
At the end of September 2023, Cargotec held a total of 407,043 own class B shares, accounting for 0.63 percent of the total number of shares and 0.27 percent of the total number of votes. The number of outstanding class B shares totalled 54,775,036.
In April 2023, Cargotec's Board of Directors decided to establish a new share-based incentive programme for the Group key employees. The reward from the new Restricted Share Unit Programme 2023–2025 is conditional on the achievement of strategic goals set by the Board of Directors. In addition, the reward is based on a valid employment or service and the continuity of the employment or service. The reward is paid at 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 Corporation class B shares.
In February 2023, Cargotec's Board of Directors resolved to establish a new share-based incentive programme directed to the key employees of Cargotec. The performance share programme includes calendar years 2023–2025 as a performance period. The performance period includes three measuring periods of one calendar year. For each measuring period, the Board of Directors will annually resolve the performance criteria and the required performance levels for each criterion. The 2023–2025 performance share programme is directed to approximately 100 key employees, including the members of Cargotec Leadership Team.
For the key employees of the business areas Kalmar and Hiab, the potential reward of the programme from the measuring period 2023 will be based on the business areas' earnings per share (EPS). For the Cargotec Corporate key employees, the performance criteria is Cargotec's earnings per share (EPS). The rewards to be paid on the basis of the performance period 2023– 2025 will amount up to an approximate maximum total of 200,000 Cargotec's class B shares.
After the end of the performance period, the Board of Directors will confirm the cumulative amount of rewards earned from the measuring periods and potential rewards from the performance period 2023–2025 will be paid partly in Cargotec's class B shares and partly in cash in 2026. As a rule, no reward will be paid, if a key employee's employment or service ends before the reward payment.
In addition, The Board of Directors of Cargotec Corporation has resolved to establish a new restricted shares programme for calendar years 2023–2025. As a part of total compensation, additional restricted share grants can be allocated for selected key employees. 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.
The performance share programme, approved by the Board of Directors in 2020, includes three performance periods, of which the period for calendar years 2020–2022 has ended and periods
2021–2023 and 2022–2024 are ongoing. Each performance period includes one to three measuring periods. One measuring period can be three calendar years at maximum, which is the total length of one performance period. For the measuring periods, the Board of Directors will annually resolve the length, the performance criteria supporting the implementation of the strategy and the required performance levels for each criterion. Sustainability is an important part of the target setting and rewarding of the key employees.
For the performance period of 2021–2023, the potential reward of the third measuring period 2023 will be based on the eco portfolio share in orders received for the key employees of the business areas Kalmar, Hiab and MacGregor. For Cargotec Corporate key employees, the performance criterion is Cargotec's eco portfolio share in orders received.
For the performance period of 2022–2024, the potential reward of the second measuring period 2023 will be based on the business areas' service gross profit for the key employees of the business areas Kalmar, Hiab and MacGregor. For Cargotec Corporate key employees, the performance criterion will be Cargotec's service gross profit.
In addition, Cargotec has a share-based incentive programme for the Group key employees established in May 2022.

At the end of the period, the number of registered shareholders was 38,485. The number of Finnish household shareholders was 36,579, corresponding to around 17 percent ownership of Cargotec's listed B shares. At the end of the period, around 30 percent of Cargotec's listed B shares were nominee registered or held by non-Finnish holders.
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.
Disruptions in supply chains, problems with the availability of raw materials and energy, high inflation, high interest rates, weak consumer confidence, as well as increased uncertainty are slowing down economic growth.
The above risk factors have affected Cargotec's operations. The order intake during the reporting period did not reach the level of the comparison period while still continuing volatility in the supply chain affected the availability of raw materials and components, slowing down the production process, increasing inventories and delaying the delivery of finished products and the recording of sales revenue. Component availability problems as well as increased labour and energy costs elevate manufacturing costs and increase challenges to control costs and pass them on to the prices of end products.
In a changing market situation, demand for Cargotec's solutions might be lower than in the previous years. Customers may also try to postpone or cancel orders. Despite planned cost savings, lower production volumes could impact Cargotec's profitability margins negatively. There is also uncertainty related to achieving the planned cost savings.
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.
Container traffic growth rate and a possible slowdown or contraction in global economic growth may in the longer term have an effect on the demand of Kalmar's cargo handling solutions. 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. Economic uncertainty as well as high prices and interest rates, and the availability challenges of building materials can have a negative effect on construction activity,

which in turn can negatively impact the demand for Hiab's solutions. A significant share of Hiab's orders are from the United States. Even though the 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. The Hiab solutions are installed on trucks, and the 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, and the recent drop in container shipping rates may increase ship operators' reluctance to make new investments. Global decarbonisation targets have led to a fall in investments by the oil industry, which has long been reflected in decreased offshore vessel investments. However, increase in contracting for wind turbine installations and service vessels is estimated to partly compensate that in the future. Project executions face risks related to schedule, cost and delivery guarantees, especially those related to offshore business and new product developments. Downward revision of market estimates or rising interest rates could result in an impairment of MacGregor's goodwill.
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 an 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. The planned actions can include risks related to the retention of skilled personnel, customer relationships, the execution of potential transactions, and costs, for example.
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. 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.
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.
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 the 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.

There were no material events after the reporting period.

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.
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 2022 and comply with changes in IAS/IFRS standards effective from 1 January 2023 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.
Amendments to IAS/IFRS standards published in 2023
Pillar 2 is the OECD's initiative to address tax challenges related to the digitalisation of the global economy by introducing Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) rules and a related 15% global minimum tax. The European Union's Council Directive (EU) 2022/2523 entered into force in December 2022, according to which the EU Member States shall transpose the GloBE rules into their domestic law by 31 December 2023.
According to the IASB's published amendments to IAS 12, Cargotec has applied the exception provided in IAS 12 paragraph 4A and has neither recognised nor disclosed information about deferred tax assets or liabilities related to Pillar 2 income taxes.
Pillar 2 rules have been enacted, but are not yet in effect for the financial year 2023, in several countries where Cargotec has operations, including Finland where Cargotec Corporation is incorporated. Based on the initial impact analysis, income taxes in relation to Pillar 2 are not estimated to have a material impact on the income taxes of the group.
The amendment instructs to provide more information about the use of supplier financing arrangements, their scope, and the effect on the reported figures. Cargotec has supplier financing arrangements with certain financiers and its suppliers. In these arrangements, the term of payment for Cargotec's trade payables is extended, and the suppliers receive payment faster than under normal terms of payment. The amendment becomes effective 1 January 2024 and is not estimated to have a significant impact on Cargotec's reporting.
The amendment provides guidance for identifying a situation where a currency cannot be considered freely exchangeable and instructs in these situations to take this into account in the exchange rate used in reporting and to provide additional information on the matter. The amendment becomes effective 1 January 2025 and is not estimated to have a significant impact on Cargotec's reporting.
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.
Disruptions in supply chains, problems with the availability of raw materials and energy, high inflation, high interest rates, weak consumer confidence, as well as increased uncertainty are slowing down economic growth.
The above risk factors have affected Cargotec's operations. The order intake during the reporting period did not reach the level of the comparison period while still continuing volatility in the supply chain affected the availability of raw materials and components, slowing down the production process, increasing inventories and delaying the delivery of finished products and the recording of sales revenue. Component availability problems as well as increased labour and energy costs elevate manufacturing costs and increase challenges to control costs and pass them on to the prices of end products.
In a changing market situation, demand for Cargotec's solutions might be lower than in the previous years. Customers may also try to postpone or cancel orders. Despite rigorous scenario planning, lower production volumes could impact Cargotec's profitability margins negatively.
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.
Cargotec's sales to Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine have been low. Cargotec complies with the sanctions imposed on Russia and is retrieving from the country, however, it is difficult to estimate when it can be finalised. In May 2023, Hiab sold its Russian subsidiary Hiab RUS LLC to the company's executive management. At the time of reporting, the assets of Cargotec's Russian subsidiary totalled EUR 5.9 million, which mainly consisted of cash and cash equivalents. In addition, Cargotec's subsidiaries outside of Russia had trade receivables from Russia totalling EUR 0.9 million. Cargotec has a provision of EUR 4.0 million related to the above-mentioned balance sheet items.
MacGregor's goodwill impairment testing was renewed on 30 September 2023 due to the low level of MacGregor's recoverable amount in relation to the assets being tested. Cargotec announced in November 2022 that it has decided that MacGregor will not be part of Cargotec's portfolio in the future. Cargotec will continue to focus on a turnaround of the business and to look 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 213.8 million (December 31, 2022: EUR 63.4 million impairment) mainly due to changes in the tested items. The post-tax WACC (weighted average cost of capital) used in the testing was 8.2 (9.0) 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 379.5 (December 31, 2022: 392.6) 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.
| Sensitivity analysis scenarios and results | |||||||

| Recoverable amount in excess of book value of assets, MEUR |

| 30 Sep 2023 | 213.8 | No impairment* | Impairment** | Impairment | |||
| 31 Dec 2022 | 0.0 | Impairment* | Impairment** | Impairment |
*Threshold for impairment was WACC +5.7 percentage points (31 Dec 2022: any increase in WACC). **Threshold for impairment was estimation period sales -10 percent and operating profit -1.9 percentage points (31 Dec 2022: any decline in estimation period sales or operating profit).
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 0 (31 Dec 2022: 142) million in the first scenario, EUR 9 (257) million in the second, and EUR 72 (306) million in the third.
As part of the annual goodwill impairment testing, the recoverable amounts of the Kalmar and Hiab segments were determined based on value in use. The pre-tax WACC used in the testing was 12.3 (2022: 13.9) percent for Kalmar and 11.6 (2022: 13.7) percent for Hiab. Based on the testing, no impairment was recorded in the goodwill of either segment, nor did any of the sensitivity analyses indicate an impairment. Sensitivity analyses were performed based on the same principles as the sensitivity analyses performed for MacGregor described above.
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. 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.
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.
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 2022 annual report.

* In the first quarter of 2023 there has been made regrouping of EUR 4 million and in the second quarter regrouping of EUR 11 million between sales recognised at a point in time and sales recognised over time.
In April 2023, Cargotec's Board of Directors decided to establish a new share-based incentive programme for the Group key employees. The reward from the new Restricted Share Unit Programme 2023–2025 is conditional on the achievement of strategic goals set by the Board of Directors. In addition, the reward is based on a valid employment or service and the continuity of the employment or service. The reward is paid at 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 Corporation class B shares. In addition, a cash proportion is included in the reward to cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward.
In February 2023, Cargotec's Board of Directors resolved to establish a new share-based incentive programme directed to the key employees of Cargotec. The performance share programme includes calendar years 2023–2025 as a performance period. The performance period includes three measuring periods of one calendar year. For each measuring period, the Board of Directors will annually resolve the performance criteria and the required performance levels for each criterion. The 2023–2025 performance share programme is directed to approximately 100 key employees, including the members of Cargotec Leadership Team. For the key employees of the business areas Kalmar and Hiab, the potential reward of the programme from the measuring period 2023 will be based on the business areas' earnings per share (EPS). For the Cargotec Corporate key employees, the performance criteria is Cargotec's earnings per share (EPS). The rewards to be paid on the basis of the performance period 2023–2025 will amount up to an approximate maximum total of 200,000 Cargotec's class B shares. In addition, the rewards include cash proportions that are intended to cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward to the key employees..
After the end of the performance period, the Board of Directors will confirm the cumulative amount of rewards earned from the measuring periods and potential rewards from the performance period 2023–2025 will be paid partly in Cargotec's class B shares and partly in cash in 2026. As a rule, no reward will be paid, if a key employee's employment or service ends before the reward payment.
In addition, The Board of Directors of Cargotec Corporation has resolved to establish a new restricted shares programme for calendar years 2023–2025. As a part of total compensation, additional restricted share grants can be allocated for selected key employees. 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. In addition, the rewards include cash proportions that are intended to cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward to the key employees.
The performance share programme, approved by the Board of Directors in 2020, includes three performance periods, of which the period for calendar years 2020–2022 has ended and periods 2021–2023 and 2022–2024 are ongoing. Each performance period includes one to three measuring periods. One measuring period can be three calendar years at maximum, which is the total length of one performance period. For the measuring periods, the Board of Directors will annually resolve the length, the performance criteria supporting the implementation of the strategy and the required performance levels for each criterion. Sustainability is an important part of the target setting and rewarding of the key employees.
For the performance period of 2021–2023, the potential reward of the third measuring period 2023 will be based on the eco portfolio share in orders received for the key employees of the business areas Kalmar, Hiab and MacGregor. For Cargotec Corporate key employees, the performance criterion was Cargotec's eco portfolio share in orders received.
For the performance period of 2022–2024, the potential reward of the second measuring period 2023 will be based on the business areas' service gross profit for the key employees of the business areas Kalmar, Hiab and MacGregor. For Cargotec Corporate key employees, the performance criterion will be Cargotec's service gross profit.
In addition, Cargotec has a share-based incentive programme for the Group key employees established in May 2022.

According to the ESMA Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures, an Alternative Performance Measure (APM) is understood as a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows, other than a financial measure defined or specified in the applicable financial reporting framework. In addition to IFRS key figures, Cargotec uses the following alternative performance measures:
| Key figure | Definition | Reason for use | Reconciliation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating profit (MEUR and % of sales) | = | Sales - cost of goods sold - selling and marketing ex penses - research and development expenses - ad ministration expenses - restructuring costs + other operating income - other operating expenses + share of associated companies' and joint ventures' result |
Operating profit is used to measure business profitability. It describes the profitability of the business before taking into account financial items and taxes. |
Statement of income |
| Comparable operating profit (MEUR and % of sales) | = | Operating profit excluding items significantly affecting comparability |
Comparable operating profit is used to monitor and forecast profit development and set related targets. It is calculated by excluding items significantly affecting comparability from operating profit, which makes it easier to compare the profitability of the business at different time periods. |
