President and CEO Pekka Vauramo:

We delivered a strong order intake and healthy underlying results in the second quarter. The quarter included some unusual elements, mainly related to the wind-down of our business in Russia and high volatility in the currency market, which had an impact on both our volumes and results.

Our orders increased 11% year-on-year in constant currencies, thanks to the strong activity and demand in the mining markets as well as our strong position and Planet Positive product offering. Orders received in the Minerals segment grew 40% in constant currencies, with strong growth in both equipment and services orders. Orders in the Aggregates segment were flat year-on-year, despite softening of the European markets, and the Metals segment reported somewhat low order intake due to the timing of customers investments.

Our sales growth of 21% in constant currencies was supported by the backlog built during the previous quarters, and both equipment and services reported double-digit growth rates.

Our underlying performance was healthy, although still somewhat under pressure due to high raw material, component, logistics and energy costs. This pressure is most visible in our consumables business, where the mitigation actions continue. Unusually high volatility in the currency market had a EUR 34 million negative impact on adjusted EBITA, due to the strengthening of the US dollar and the weakening of currencies in some key mining countries.

We continued to make good progress in sustainability during the quarter. We completed a number of actions that will result in emission reductions of our own operations. Our Planet Positive product portfolio was expanded with several launches of new products, for example, for real-time monitoring of crushers and screens and sustainable tailings management. We received a significant order for a comminution circuit flowsheet developed for a new concentrator plant, which represents the most sustainable technology currently available and features a combination of HRC™e highpressure grinding rolls (HPGR) and Vertimill® grinding mills that help to achieve the best energy-efficiency with the lowest operating and life cycle costs. In addition, we took an important step in linking our overall strategy implementation to financing by publishing a Sustainability-Linked Finance Framework, which specifies several performance indicators measuring our own, our suppliers' and our customers' emission reductions as an input to our future financing instruments.

Looking ahead, we see strong activity continuing in the mining markets during the second half of the year despite the metal prices recently trending down from very high levels. Following the expected softening of the overall economy due to inflation and the continuing war in Europe, we are slightly cautious regarding the activity in the aggregates market in Europe in particular. While volatility is likely to continue in the global economy and in our key markets, I'm confident that we are well-placed to continue delivering on our strategy, including the review of the Metals segment, as part of the continuous development of our portfolio.

Russia business update

Metso Outotec condemns Russia's military offensive against Ukraine and is deeply saddened by the humanitarian crisis it has caused. The offensive continues to have an impact on Metso Outotec's business and operations. The company continued to wind down its business operations and customer contracts in Russia during the second quarter, in line with the disclosure in its January-March 2022 interim report. The possibilities to wind down through final deliveries or termination agreements have been limited, due to the continuation of the conflict, sanctions and export control restrictions, as well as the availability of banking services and logistics.

At the end of March 2022, Metso Outotec had an order backlog of EUR 479 million to Russia. Around EUR 315 million was originally expected to be recognized as sales in 2022; approximately EUR 215 million of it was to non-sanctioned customers at the end of March.

Metso Outotec made deliveries worth EUR 67 million to non-sanctioned Russian customers during the second quarter. In early July, the company decided to make a provision totaling EUR 150 million, including wind-down and restructuring costs, which is expected to cover the remaining exposure in Russia. The provision was booked as a non-recurring adjustment in the company's second-quarter financials, and therefore had no impact on adjusted EBITA. The negative impact of the wind down in the Group's order backlog at the end of June is approximately EUR 380 million. Metso Outotec has not recognized any revenue from sanctioned customers or contracts and is not taking new orders for deliveries to Russia.

Metso Outotec will continue to monitor the situation closely, as further changes are expected in the sanctions and export control restrictions, as well as in the availability of banking facilities and logistics.

Market outlook

According to its disclosure policy, Metso Outotec's market outlook describes the expected sequential development of market activity during the following six-month period using three categories: improve, remain at the current level, or decline.

Metso Outotec expects the overall market activity to remain at the current level with the mining market remaining strong and aggregates market declining slightly.

The Group's financial performance

Healthy activity continued in Metso Outotec's customer industries during the second quarter. The Group's orders received increased 18% to EUR 1,610 million (EUR 1,360 million). Equipment orders grew 12% and services orders 27%.

The Group's sales increased 28% to EUR 1,295 million (EUR 1,010 million), driven by 41% growth in equipment deliveries. Services sales grew 17% year-on-year, thanks to both pricing and higher volumes.

Adjusted EBITA increased to EUR 155 million and the adjusted EBITA margin was 12.0% (EUR 131 million and 12.9%). The result increased in all segments, supported by higher sales volumes as well as realized synergies and other improvement actions, while cost pressures related to raw materials, components, logistics and energy continued to have a negative impact. Additional negative impact of EUR 34 million (0 million), corresponding to around 2.6 percentage points on the adjusted EBITA margin, was due to the significant changes in the fair value of currency hedges as well as operating currency losses, resulting from a strong appreciation of the US dollar and depreciation of currencies in several key mining countries during the quarter.

The Group's operating profit (EBIT) was affected by negative adjustments of EUR 152 million (EUR 13 million negative), of which EUR 150 million resulted from the wind-down of the business in Russia. Including these adjustments, operating profit totaled EUR -13 million and the EBIT margin -1.0% (EUR 97 million and 9.6%). PPA amortization was EUR -13 million. Net financing expenses totaled EUR -11 million (-11 million).

Planet Positive sales and orders. Rolling 12-month Planet Positive sales as of the end of May 2022 were EUR 720 million. During the second quarter, two major Planet Positive orders were booked: a EUR 100 million order for the delivery of key process technology to a copper-gold-molybdenum concentrator complex in Uzbekistan and a EUR 45 million order to a greenfield iron ore project in South America consisting of a full-scope sustainable comminution circuit flowsheet concept including several Planet Positive crushing, screening and grinding technologies, such as HRC™e high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) and Vertimill® grinding mills to achieve the best energy-efficiency with the lowest operating and life cycle costs. In addition, there were several medium-sized and small orders with significant Planet Positive content, including two large horizontal grinding mills for a copper mine expansion in Zambia, key crushing and grinding equipment for a gold project in Canada and key concentrator plant equipment for a copper mining complex expansion in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Planet Positive products. Product launches included in the Planet Positive portfolio during the second quarter:

  • Upgraded version of Metrics, a next generation cloud-based tool for real-time 24/7 monitoring of screens and Lokotrack mobile crushers. Features also include CO2 tracking.
  • Tailings Management Solutions portfolio for the sustainable management of mine tailings. The portfolio covers tailings thickening and dewatering solutions as well as tailings handling through conveying and dry stacking.
  • Metso Outotec Sense series portfolio designed for optimizing minerals and hydrometallurgical processes from comminution and milling to flotation.
  • A scalable and customizable Filtration Plant Units offering for different types of dewatering applications to maximize operational reliability and increase water and energy efficiency with special attention to the units' operation and maintainability through advanced digitalization.
  • Mill Discharge Low Rider pumps that are a cost-efficient and easy alternative for pump replacements and upgrades, especially where there are space constraints.

Footprint. Second-quarter CO2 emissions from own operations were roughly at the same level as year-end 2021, i.e. around 60% below 2019 levels. Several actions were completed during the second quarter to reduce CO2 emissions in own operations, e.g. modernization of an electric induction furnace, preheating of ladles and switching to LED lighting. A successful completion of the solar electrification project at McCloskey's Northern Ireland sites will result in an emissions reduction of 71 tCO2 per year. The total amount of renewable electricity from own generation from solar panels has almost doubled from Q1/2021. In addition, progress is being made in sustainable packaging solutions with the focus on high utilization of recyclable packing materials to reduce logistics costs and CO2 emissions during transportation. In Metals, Metso Outotec has now engaged with all high-volume suppliers regarding CO2 emissions reductions; engaging with high-volume suppliers in Minerals has also kicked off.

Sustainability-Linked Finance Framework. In June, Metso Outotec published a Sustainability-Linked Finance Framework. This framework supports the linking of sustainability performance with the terms of financing and is part of implementing the company's overall strategy. The selected performance indicators in the Framework cover CO2 emissions reductions of Metso Outotec's own operations, its suppliers' and its customers', i.e. it addresses emissions across Metso Outotec's full value chain:

  • KPI 1: Scope 1 & 2 CO2 emissions (tCO2)
  • KPI 2: Suppliers signed up for the Science-Based Targets initiative
  • KPI 3: Annual increase in revenue from Planet Positive portfolio

The AGM decided to elect nine members to the Board of Directors. Kari Stadigh was re-elected as Chair, Klaus Cawén as Vice Chair, and Christer Gardell, Antti Mäkinen, Ian W. Pearce, Emanuela Speranza and Arja Talma as members of the Board. Brian Beamish and Terhi Koipijärvi were elected as new Board members.

  • Chair: EUR 156,000
  • Vice Chair: EUR 82,500

Other main events between January 1 and June 30, 2022

Development of the Metals business

On January 17, 2022, Metso Outotec announced that it will transfer its Hydrometallurgy business from the Metals segment to the Minerals segment and commence a strategic review in the remaining Metals business area. The target of the review is to evaluate the best environment for developing the Metals business and its strategic fit in Metso Outotec's business portfolio. Restated segment information for 2021 was published on April 6.

Conveyance of own shares based on the long-term incentive plans

On February 9, 2022, the Board of Directors decided to convey a total of 624,516 Metso Outotec's treasury shares without consideration to 60 key persons and executives in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Performance Share Plans 2019–2021 (PSP 2019–2021), Restricted Share Plan 2019–2021 (RSP 2019–2021) and Matching Share Plan directed to the President and CEO (MSP 2018–2021).

The continuation of the plan in Metso Outotec was announced on July 1, 2020.

Annual Report for 2021

On March 16, 2022, Metso Outotec published its Annual Report for 2021. The report consists of five sections: Business Overview, Financial Review, Corporate Governance Statement, Remuneration Report and GRI Supplement.

Changes in Metso Outotec Executive Team

On March 29, 2022, the following changes were made in the Metso Outotec Executive Team with immediate effect. Piia Karhu was nominated President, Metals business area. Her previous role in the Executive Team was Senior Vice President, Business Development. The previous President of the Metals business area, Jari Ålgars, resigned from Metso Outotec.

Acquisition of Tesab Engineering Ltd

On April 11, 2022, Metso Outotec signed an agreement to acquire Tesab Engineering Ltd, a Northern Ireland-based company offering mobile crushing equipment for aggregates applications, including quarrying, recycling, asphalt and concrete. Tesab's turnover in 2021 was approx. EUR 30 million, and it has more than 60 employees primarily in Europe. The acquisition was completed in May.

Divestment of Metal Recycling business

On June 2, 2022, Metso Outotec completed the divestment of its metal recycling business line to Mimir, an investment company based in Stockholm, Sweden.

Short-term business risks and market uncertainties

The current unprecedented uncertainty in the global markets may affect Metso Outotec's market environment. Inflation has risen sharply and has resulted in higher production costs and even lack of availability in many markets. Whilst higher prices of minerals and metals typically have a positive impact on demand for Metso Outotec's products and services, the recent high volatility is challenging for customers and suppliers. Rising interest rates and high foreign exchange rate volatility could have a further negative impact on customers' capex decision-making. There are also other market and customer-related risks that could cause on-going projects to be postponed, delayed or discontinued.

Global supply chains continue to be very tight, challenged by inflation and the availability of materials and components; these challenges may be further exacerbated and jeopardize the company's ability to deliver on-time and/or on-budget. The financial position of suppliers may be at risk and could also lead to challenges with on-time deliveries if suppliers are unable to deliver and the company is unable to find alternative sources in the time required, which may lead to contractual penalties and/or obligations.

Covid-19's impact on the market and Metso Outotec have gradually softened, but there is still a risk of further variants spreading and causing similar business challenges to those seen in 2020 and 2021. Restrictions continue to ease globally with the stark exception of China, where the zero-tolerance policy risks are causing further disruption on Metso Outotec's supply chain, own operations or personnel. Metso Outotec remains vigilant and ready to take various measures to protect the health and safety of its people.

Uncertain market conditions could adversely affect our customers' payment behavior and increase the risk of lawsuits, claims and disputes taken against Metso Outotec in various countries related to, among other things, Metso Outotec's products, projects and other operations.

Whilst Metso Outotec has made a provision for the wind-down of its customer contracts and operations in Russia, the extent to which the wind-down can be done and its final cost could be affected by possible further escalation of the war in Ukraine, sanctions and export controls, as well as availability of banking services and logistics. The wind-down can lead to an increased risk of claims, disputes or lawsuits.

Exchange rate fluctuations and changes in commodity prices could affect our orders received, sales and financial position. Metso Outotec hedges currency exposure linked to firm delivery and purchase agreements.

Information security and cyber threats could disturb or disrupt Metso Outotec's businesses and operations.

Metso Outotec has identified a significant risk related to its ilmenite smelter project in Saudi Arabia, in line with earlier disclosures. Provisions have been made against this risk. The contractual position and other factual circumstances will ultimately determine the eventual liability and financial impact.

Disputes related to project execution and resulting in extra costs and/or penalties are a risk for Metso Outotec. In the contracts related to the delivery of major projects, the liquidated damages attributable to, for instance, delayed delivery or non-performance may be significant. Even though provisions are provided for, in accordance with accounting principles, there is no certainty that additional liabilities would not materialize.

Metso Outotec is involved in a few disputes that may lead to arbitration and court proceedings. Differing interpretations of international contracts and laws may cause uncertainties in estimating the outcome of these disputes. The enforceability of contracts in certain market areas may be challenging or difficult to foresee.

Market outlook

According to its disclosure policy, Metso Outotec's market outlook describes the expected sequential development of market activity during the following six-month period using three categories: improve, remain at the current level, or decline.

Metso Outotec expects the market activity to remain at the current level with the mining market remaining strong and aggregates market declining slightly.

Alternative Performance Measures

Metso Outotec presents certain key figures (alternative performance measures) as additional information to the financial measures presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and the consolidated balance sheet and cash flows prepared in accordance with IFRS. In Metso Outotec's view, alternative performance measures provide meaningful supplemental information on its operational results, financial position and cash flows and are widely used by analysts, investors and other parties.

To improve the comparability between periods, Metso Outotec presents adjusted EBITA, being earnings before interest, tax, and amortization adjusted by capacity adjustment costs, acquisition costs, gains, and losses on business disposals as well as Metso Outotec transaction and integration costs. Their nature and net effect on cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as other income and expenses are presented in the segment information. Net debt, gearing, equity-to-asset ratio, debt-to-capital ratio, and debt-to-equity ratio are presented as complementing measures because, in Metso Outotec's view, they are useful measures of Metso Outotec's ability to obtain financing and service its debts. Net working capital provides additional information concerning the cash flow needs of Metso Outotec's operations.

Alternative performance measures should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute to the IFRS financial measures. All companies do not calculate alternative performance measures in a uniform manner, and therefore Metso Outotec's alternative performance measures may not be comparable with similarly named measures presented by other companies.

1. Basis of preparation

This Half-Year Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting', applying the accounting policies of Metso Outotec, which are consistent with the accounting policies of Metso Outotec Financial Statements 2021. New accounting standards have been adopted, as described in note 2. This Half-Year Report is unaudited.

All figures presented have been rounded; consequently, the sum of individual figures might differ from the presented total figures.

On October 28, 2020, Metso Outotec announced its decision to divest the Recycling business, and it has been classified as discontinued operations. The assets and liabilities held for sale have been transferred to separate lines in the consolidated balance sheet. The divestment of the Waste Recycling business was finalized on December 1, 2021, and the Metal Recycling business divestment was finalized on June 2, 2022.

Reporting segments

Metso Outotec's segment structure changed as of January 1, 2022. The Hydrometallurgy business in the Metals segment was transferred to the Minerals segment. In addition to changes in the Minerals and Metals segments, small changes were made in the Aggregates segment that relate to the McCloskey and P.J. Jonsson och Söner businesses; business that had previously been reported under the equipment business was reclassified and reported as services. Due to the segment structure change as of January 1, 2022, Metso Outotec's comparison figures for 2021 have been restated according to the new segment structure. The restatement had no impact on the Group's total figures. More information on the segment restatement can be found in the stock exchange release published on April 6, 2022.

Metso Outotec Group is a global supplier of sustainable technologies, end-to-end solutions, and services for the minerals processing, aggregates, and metals refining industries. Metso Outotec has a broad offering in terms of equipment, solutions, and various types of aftermarket services. Reportable segments of Metso Outotec are based on end-customer groups, which are differentiated by both offering and business model: Aggregates, Minerals, and Metals.

The segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Board of Directors, Metso Outotec's chief operating decision-maker with responsibility for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the segments, deciding on strategy, selecting key employees, as well as deciding on major development projects, business acquisitions, investments, organizational structure, and financing. The accounting principles applied to the segment reporting are the same as those used in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Aggregates offers a wide range of equipment, aftermarket parts, and services for quarries, aggregates contractors, and construction companies. Minerals supplies a wide portfolio of process solutions, equipment, and aftermarket services, as well as plant delivery capability for mining operations. Metals provides sustainable solutions for processing virtually all types of ores and concentrates to refined metals. The Group Head Office and other is comprised of the Parent Company with centralized Group functions, such as treasury and tax, as well as global business service center and holding companies.

Segment performance is measured with operating profit/loss (EBIT). In addition, Metso Outotec uses alternative performance measures to reflect the underlying business performance and to improve comparability between financial periods: earnings before interest, tax and amortization (EBITA), and adjusted net working capital. Alternative performance measures, however, should not be considered as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with the IFRS.

2. New accounting standards

4. Financial risk management

As a global company, Metso Outotec is exposed to a variety of business and financial risks. Financial risks are managed centrally by the Group Treasury under annually reviewed written policies approved by the Board of Directors. Treasury operations are monitored by the Treasury Management Team chaired by the CFO. Group Treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close cooperation with the operating units. Group Treasury functions as counterparty to the operating units, centrally manages external funding, and is responsible for the management of financial assets and appropriate hedging measures. The objective of financial risk management is to minimize potential adverse effects on Metso Outotec's financial performance.

High volatility in the currency markets during the second quarter was visible in a strong appreciation of the US dollar and depreciation of several key mining countries' currencies. This resulted in significant changes in the fair value of currency hedges as well as operating currency losses having a negative impact on adjusted EBITA. The change in fair value hedges is attributed to the non-hedge accounted hedges, which are typically related to product sales and purchases. There is a timing and line mismatch with the hedge and the operative underlying transaction; later, when the customer invoicing is concluded and revenue is recognized, the appreciated USD impact will flow through. The hedges related to larger projects are hedge accounted, and their fair value is not recognized in the income statement.

Liquidity and refinancing risk, capital structure management

Liquidity or refinancing risk arises when a company is not able to arrange funding at terms and conditions corresponding to its creditworthiness. Sufficient cash, short-term investments, and committed and uncommitted credit facilities are maintained to protect short-term liquidity. Diversification of funding among different markets and an adequate number of financial institutions is used to safeguard the availability of liquidity at all times. Group Treasury monitors bank account structures, cash balances, and forecasts of the operating units, and manages the utilization of the consolidated cash resources.

The liquidity position of Metso Outotec remained good. As of June 30, 2022 liquid funds, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, amounted to EUR 451 million (EUR 473 million on December 31, 2021), and there were no deposits or securities with a maturity more than three months (EUR 0 million on December 31, 2021).

In addition, Metso Outotec has a committed and undrawn EUR 600 million syndicated revolving credit facility with a maturity in 2026. The facility includes sustainability performance targets. At the end of the period the facility was undrawn. The company also has a EUR 600 million Finnish commercial paper program, of which EUR 160 million was utilized at the end of the period.

During the second quarter, Metso Outotec drew the Nordic Investment Bank's EUR 100 million loan with a maturity of eight years, and which includes sustainability performance targets. In June, the company repaid the EUR 100 million in private placements.

Capital structure management in Metso Outotec comprises both equity and interest-bearing debt. As of June 30, 2022, the equity attributable to shareholders was EUR 2,159 million (EUR 2,250 million on December 31, 2021), and the amount of interest-bearing debt, excluding lease liabilities, was EUR 948 million (EUR 819 million on December 31, 2021).

Metso Outotec has a target to maintain an investment-grade credit rating. Metso Outotec has 'BBB-' long-term issuer credit rating with positive outlook from S&P Global Ratings and 'Baa2' long-term issuer rating with stable outlook from Moody's Investor Service.

There are no prepayment covenants in Metso Outotec's financial contracts that would be triggered by changes in credit rating. Covenants included in some financing agreements refer to a combination of certain credit-rating level and Metso Outotec's capital structure. Metso Outotec is in compliance with all covenants and other terms of its debt instruments.

5. Fair value estimation

For those financial assets and liabilities that have been recognized at fair value in the balance sheet, the following measurement hierarchy and valuation methods have been applied:

  • Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets at the balance sheet date. The market prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, market information service system, pricing service, or regulatory agency. The quoted market price used for financial assets is the current bid price. Level 1 financial instruments include fund investments classified as fair value through profit and loss.
  • Level 2 The fair value of financial instruments in Level 2 is determined using valuation techniques. These techniques utilize observable market data readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, market information service system, pricing service or regulatory agency. Level 2 financial instruments include:
    • Over-the-counter derivatives classified as financial assets/liabilities at fair value through profit and loss or qualified for hedge accounting
    • Debt securities classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss
    • Fixed-rate debt under fair value hedge accounting

The table below presents financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. There have been no transfers between fair value levels during the presented period.

The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities other than those presented in this fair value level hierarchy table approximates their fair value. Fair values of other debt are calculated as net present values.

Level 3 A financial instrument is categorized into Level 3 if the calculation of the fair value cannot be based on observable market data. There were no such instruments on June 30, 2022, or on December 31, 2021.
