PRESIDENT & CEO MARKKU TERÄSVASARA

SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN PERFORMANCE EXCLUDING ILMENITE SMELTER PROJECT PROVISION

In 2018, we made significant progress in several areas. In the beginning of the year, the market for minerals and metals technologies improved, but global macroeconomic uncertainties and reduced metal prices started to affect the market sentiment, and we saw several larger investment decisions being delayed into 2019. This was demonstrated in our order intake, which increased 4% year-onyear (in comparable currencies 8%) but declined in the fourth quarter from the comparison period. Service orders increased 8% in 2018 (in comparable currencies 13%). Our largest order in the fourth quarter was the delivery of battery chemicals technology in Finland.

SUPPLIER SITUATION IMPROVED

Our sales increased 12% in 2018 (in comparable currencies 16%). Our service business development during the second half was encouraging as the supplier situation improved. The profitability continued to improve in the Minerals Processing segment. Excluding the provision for the ilmenite smelter project, our adjusted EBIT would have almost doubled from EUR 34 million in 2017 to EUR 64 million in 2018. Our cash flow strengthened and was EUR 70 million.

Leading technologies are our core strength

YEAR 2018

REPORT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SHARES AND SHAREHOLDERS CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, IFRS

PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE BOARD INVESTOR INFORMATION

PROGRESS WITH ANALYSIS OF THE ILMENITE SMELTER

Outotec has made a EUR 110 million provision for possible costs relating to the ilmenite smelter project in Saudi Arabia (Stock Exchange Releases on May 31, 2012; October 26, 2018; October 30, 2018 and February 8, 2019). The currently estimated provision is based on progress made with the analysis of the furnace. The provision is booked in Outotec's fourth quarter 2018 result. The outcome of the analysis, together with other factors such as Outotec's contractual position, will determine the eventual liability and financial impact of this incident for Outotec.

SIMPLIFIED ORGANIZATION TO SUPPORT LONG-TERM TARGETS

REVIEW

We simplified our organizational structure during the first half of the year to support our long-term strategic targets. With our industry experts, simplified organization and must-win battles, we will strengthen our customer focus, service business, product competitiveness and project capabilities to further improve our profitability.

FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF OUR TECHNOLOGICAL CAPABILITIES

Leading technologies are our core strength. We continued to develop our technological capabilities and grow our patent portfolio. I want to mention two examples of our recent product development. Firstly, a new lithium hydroxide process to respond to the market demand for battery chemicals and, secondly, a new, 40% lighter and more competitive Hybrid filter plate design to complement our spare and wear parts offering. R&D investments represented 5% of our sales and totaled EUR 57 million last year.

We help our customers to improve their profitability in a sustainable way

OUR COMPREHENSIVE OFFERING CREATES THE BEST LIFE-CYCLE VALUE FOR OUR CUSTOMERS

With our process technologies and services, our customers will obtain the best value from their assets and operations over the course of their life cycle. During 2018 we have received valuable feedback from our customers and other stakeholders, and I am pleased to see that our customer satisfaction has already improved, and employee engagement index is

going to the right direction. I would like to thank our customers and business partners for great cooperation, our employees for their commitment and contribution and our shareholders for the trust they have shown towards Outotec.

COLLABORATION FOR THE SUSTAINABLE USE OF EARTH'S NATURAL RESOURCES CONTINUES

At the beginning of 2019, Outotec was ranked 12th in the Global 100 Index of the most sustainable companies in the world. We were included in the Index for the seventh consecutive year and want to keep our inclusion for the years to come. We continue to collaborate with our stakeholders for the sustainable use of Earth's natural resources. We expect the demand outlook to remain solid in 2019.

REPORT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 2018

MARKET DEVELOPMENT IN 2018

The minerals and metals technology market developed positively in the early part of 2018, but started to show signs of slowness during the second and third quarters as global macroeconomic uncertainty increased. The subdued sentiment and lower metal prices started delaying investment decisions, especially in larger projects. Producers continued focusing on developing their existing operations, and the activity in smaller equipment, technology packages and spare parts remained solid.

CEO'S REVIEW

Copper, gold, and battery metals projects were the most active during 2018. The demand for Minerals Processing equipment and spare parts continued to be stable throughout 2018. In Metals, Energy & Water, there was solid demand in hydrometallurgical and pelletizing solutions, as well as sulfuric acid plants.

In 2018, project financing became more challenging, particularly for smaller mining companies. The competitive environment continued to be intense.

ORDER INTAKE AND BACKLOG

The order intake in 2018 was EUR 1,251 (1,205) million, up 4% from 2017. The increase was attributable to service orders as well as plant and equipment orders in the Metals, Energy & Water segment. The service order intake in 2018 was EUR 532 (495) million, up 8% from 2017, mainly due to spare parts and modernizations.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

In 2018, Outotec's research and development expenses represented 5 (5) % of sales.

CEO'S REVIEW

New products

Outotec launched the following products in 2018:

The first two industrial references of Outotec TankCell® e630's are running at the Buenavista del Cobre concentrator in Northern Mexico. The site has reported an increase of more than 3% in overall recovery with a higher-grade copper concentrate. The TankCell® e630 flotation cell has a nominal volume of 630 m3 , and is equipped with a FloatForce mechanism with a diameter of 2,200 mm.

Outotec has developed and filed a patent application for a thermal leaching process to convert spodumene concentrate into battery grade lithium hydroxide. The lithium hydroxide process has been piloted at the Outotec Research Center in Pori for Critical Elements Corporation in Canada and Keliber Oy in Finland. Lithium hydroxide corresponds to the change in demand in the metal salt markets.

New Hybrid filter plates that are 40% lighter, and thereby more competitive than conventional plates, were introduced to the spare and wear parts markets. The new plates also improve the filtration capacity, provide low residual moisture in the cake, and reduce operational costs.

Outotec has designed a skid-mounted, modular prefabricated sulfuric acid plant which significantly lowers the installation cost and time. In addition, the modular plant offers lower operation costs, increased availability

and maintainability, as well as environmentally sound and safe operation. The innovative plant concept is based on Outotec's technology and expertise gained from 650 plants delivered globally.

Outotec is piloting with LKAB to treat industrial waters at the Svappavaara mine in Sweden. The pilot started in August and consists of nanofiltration and chemical precipitation of sulfate with Outotec's Ettringite process. The pilot shows that sulfate concentration can be significantly reduced from the inlet value of 1,800 mg/l to the level of 150 mg/l.

A new digital product, Outotec Health Indicator, produces data for flotation process control when used together with Courier onstream elemental analyzers. It enables higher performance in terms of concentrate quality and recovery of valuable minerals.

Outotec has been developing MesoTherm™ bio-oxidation technology for leaching base metals. The development work has shown it to be effective on certain copper sulfides, yielding 98% copper dissolution.

PERSONNEL

At the end of 2018, Outotec had a total of 4,012 (4,146) employees. During 2018, it had an average of 4,087 (4,149) employees. Temporary personnel accounted for 6 (5) % of the total.

At the end of 2018, the company had, in addition to its own personnel, 373 (368) full-time equivalent, contracted professionals working in project execution.

STATEMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Outotec, headquartered in Finland, operates globally with subsidiaries and branch offices in 42 countries. The company develops and delivers leading technologies and services for the sustainable use of Earth's natural resources in the mining, metal, energy, and chemical industries. Outotec's deliveries vary from a single piece of equipment to entire processes and plants. The scope typically includes raw material testing, engineering, sourcing, commissioning, training and life-cycle services.

Sustainable technologies and innovations, Engaged experts, Responsible supply chain, and Health and safety, as well as Ethics, compliance and governance, which includes working against corruption and respecting human rights, are the most fundamental nonfinancial topics for Outotec.

Outotec reports its economic, social and environmental performance annually in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards. The Sustainability Report 2018 will be published in March 2019.

Value creation

The key resources for value creation are the deep-level know-how of Outotec's 4,012 experts, 6,467 national technology patents, and three research and development centers, as well as the Outotec brand itself. In addition, long customer and supplier relationships are essential resources for the company.

Outotec generates employment and wealth in local communities as an employer and buyer of goods and services. The company also contributes to local communities through university cooperation and subcontracting R&D work. Outotec technologies often improve the conditions of the environment surrounding customers' plants.

Outotec is a compliant tax-payer in each country where it operates. The company pursues transparency and non-discrimination in its tax practices and does not engage in aggressive tax planning. In 2018, Outotec's current income taxes were EUR 7.1 million. Outotec neither paid dividends nor contributions to charities in 2018, due to negative earnings per share in 2017. To enhance its ability to create value over the cycle, Outotec aims to maintain its leadership in sustainable technologies and grow its service business.

Policies and risk management system

Outotec's Code of Conduct, approved by the Board of Directors, sets the company's business conduct for all employees. The Code of Conduct, Supplier Policy, HR policies and Donation & Employee Volunteering Policy, as well as Quality, Environment, Health and Safety (QEHS) Policy, all define the basic requirements for Outotec's environmental, social and economic sustainability.

The non-financial risks in this statement have been identified in accordance with the Finnish Accounting Act, regardless of their materiality for Outotec. Outotec's risk management is based on its Corporate Governance and Enterprise Risk Management policies. Environmental, social and economic sustainability-related risks are covered in the operational risk assessment tool, which is used to assess all projects worth at least one million euros. Appropriate follow-up actions

are defined based on these findings. The company is globally certified to ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment) and OHSAS 18001 (safety) standards. In addition, the locations in Finland and Germany are certified to ISO 50001 (energy). Internal and external audits are performed regularly.

The Board of Directors' diversity principles are detailed in Outotec's Corporate Governance Statement 2018.

Environmental responsibility

Outotec's most significant environmental impact materializes through its products and services delivered for customers. In line with its Technology Policy, Outotec continuously innovates new technologies as well as developing its existing technologies so that they become increasingly resource-efficient.

In the metallurgical industry, emissions and eco-toxic substances can cause negative environmental impacts unless appropriately controlled. In Outotec's value chain, environmental risks lie mainly in the defective use of Outotec technologies and product quality in the supply chain. To mitigate these risks, Outotec offers training and other services to customers, also training and auditing its key suppliers on a regular basis.

Sustainable technologies and innovations

Outotec reduces the global metallurgical industry's carbon dioxide (CO2 ) and other emissions by delivering advanced technologies for its customers' industrial processes. The company measures the reduction of CO2 emissions as its positive impact on the environment (carbon handprint), by the amount

14 REPORT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SHARES AND SHAREHOLDERS

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, IFRS

PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE BOARD INVESTOR INFORMATION

of CO2 emissions avoided by using Outotec technologies. Six of these technologies are measured annually. Outotec has two longterm targets related to the environmental performance of its products and services: 1) customers generate 20% less CO2 when using six Outotec technologies compared to annual industry baselines; and 2) to keep the share of environmental goods and services in order intake, measured by OECD criteria, permanently above 90%. In 2018, Outotec's customers generated 6.2 million tonnes less of CO2 equivalents, representing a reduction of 15%. The amount of emissions avoided depends on the actual production amounts of the technologies involved. The share of environmental goods and services in order intake was 90%. For the sixth consecutive year, Outotec was listed in the Global 100 Index of the most sustainable companies in the world, ranking fifth in the index.

CEO'S REVIEW

Environmental impact of Outotec's own operations

To a lesser degree, the company's environmental impact arises from its own operations. Outotec continuously aims to reduce the impacts of its operations and has annual targets related to CO2 emissions, energy consumption and waste production. The company also monitors its emissions related to flights. Only a few of Outotec's operations require an environmental permit, and the risks related to these operations are managed by certified environmental management systems.

Social responsibility and employees

Outotec follows the principle of equal opportunity. All employees are entitled to good leadership and professional growth. HR policies and HR handbook define the principles for human capital management at Outotec. According to Outotec's QEHS Policy, safety is a priority in the company's operations.

Engaged experts

Outotec aims to employ the best experts in the industry as well as strengthen employee engagement while offering development opportunities to employees. Driving employee engagement is one of the key targets, as losing talent and competences is a risk for Outotec. The company measures employee engagement regularly and monitors other human analytics: for example, the attrition rate. The target is to achieve 70% employee engagement by 2020. In 2018, the employee engagement index improved from 2017 and was 61%.

Outotec mitigates employee retention risks through various culture and leadership development programs, fair and competitive compensation, talent management, and internal job rotation, complemented by different types of programs designed to support professional growth. Special emphasis is put on supporting the career development of women, as diversity is high on Outotec's agenda. The Human Capital Committee of the Board of Directors follows the development of job grades and salary equality. In addition, a women's mentoring program was launched in 2018.

More than 90% of Outotec managers have participated in leadership development programs in 2017–2018. The major competence development initiative in 2018 was the service certification program. It also included basic training about different technologies. In addition, the global sales development program was completed, and a project manager certification program was launched in 2018.

Health and safety

Outotec targets zero harm in occupational health and safety as well as product safety. There are considerable occupational health and safety risks in the mining and metals processing industry. The safety of products directly impacts the health and safety of employees, contractors and customers. The main health and safety risks for Outotec employees derive from traffic in different driving cultures, as well as when working at project sites and manufacturing units.

Outotec's key indicator for safety, lost-time injuries per million working hours (LTIR), was 1.9 in 2018. The LTIR reporting covers Outotec's premises, employees and contractors working under Outotec's direct supervision, as well as project sites. In 2018, there was one fatality, as an employee died in a traffic accident. All employees and contractors have the right to refuse work that would expose them or other people to a hazard or an incident.

The Product Compliance Management process ensures that the products and services designed and supplied by Outotec worldwide reliably meet all applicable safety requirements during all phases of the product life-cycle. The company follows incidents, hazards and development initiatives through its QEHS management and product compliance

management systems, as well as through customer feedback collected after each major delivery and in customer surveys.

Human rights

Outotec respects internationally proclaimed human rights in line with the company's commitment to the United Nations (UN) Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Outotec joined the UN Global Compact Initiative in 2010 and is committed to its principles, as well as to the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These commitments are re-iterated in Outotec's Code of Conduct and substantiated in the company's HR, QEHS and Supplier policies.

Potential risks and human rights impacts in Outotec's business relate to project site work in high-risk countries. Outotec has assessed the human rights risks in its own operations, with the focus on service and manufacturing sites. As a result, no significant human rights risks were identified. Based on the assessment, working conditions guidelines regarding blue collar workers have been created during 2018. These guidelines were aligned with the UN Guiding Principles.

Responsible supply chain

As the majority of Outotec's manufacturing is sourced from external suppliers, there are potentially more human rights-related risks in the supply chain than in Outotec's own operations. Suppliers are assessed and audited based on risk categorization. Country risk is one criterion in determining the scope of the supplier assessment. To mitigate sustainability risks, suppliers are required to commit to

15 REPORT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SHARES AND SHAREHOLDERS CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, IFRS

PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE BOARD INVESTOR INFORMATION

Outotec's Supplier Policy, which reflects the principles of the company's Code of Conduct.

CEO'S REVIEW

Outotec audits its key suppliers on quality, health and safety as well as human rightsrelated issues regularly. Supplier development actions are drawn up according to audit findings. Outotec audited 15% of its key suppliers in 2018. The long-term target is to audit all key suppliers with these criteria regularly, with supplier development actions drawn up according to audit findings.

Anti-corruption and bribery

Outotec endorses responsible business practices and complies with national and international laws and regulations. Outotec has zero tolerance against corruption, works against corruption in all its forms, and requires its suppliers and business partners to follow the same principles and fully comply with all applicable anti-corruption laws. Outotec's Code of Conduct, Anti-Corruption Policy, Anti-Money Laundering Policy, Export Control Policy, Agent Policy, and Operational Risk Management Policy are the key policies that define the anti-corruption measures required from Outotec's employees, agents and suppliers.

To mitigate risks related to corruption and bribery, Outotec's target is to have employees participate in e-learning on the Code of Conduct or attend related classroom training on a regular basis. During 2018, 94% of permanent employees with daily access to a computer completed the Code of Conduct training. In addition, the sales agents and representatives are required to confirm their compliance with Outotec's business conduct requirements. The company conducts compliance checks on new customers and project related third parties.

Compliance helpline on the company website is available for anyone to raise concerns related to corruption, human rights or any illegal and/or unethical behavior. All concerns raised are treated confidentially, and there is a clear no-retaliation policy. The Chief Compliance Officer reports compliance cases and actions taken quarterly to the Audit and Risk Committee of Outotec's Board of Directors. Compliance investigations led to the termination of six employment contracts of which none was related to corruption. Outotec did not have to pay any fines or fulfil any nonmonetary sanctions for non-compliance with anti-corruption laws in 2018.

SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

CEO'S REVIEW

Major investments continue to develop slowly, and new investments may either be delayed or existing projects may be put on hold or cancelled. There is also the continued risk of credit losses, especially in receivables from emerging markets. The supply situation may tighten, which may cause delays or escalations. Any uncertainty in the global macroeconomic environment, especially China's economic outlook, may impact demand for metals and their prices, as well as Outotec's operations and financials.

Outotec has identified a risk of disputes related to project execution, which may result in extra costs and/or penalties. 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. In particular, Outotec has identified a significant risk of claims related to a few large projects in the Metals, Energy & Water segment. This in turn could lead to decreasing headroom under financial covenants related to capital structure and liquidity.

Outotec has made a EUR 110 million provision for possible costs relating to the ilmenite smelter project in Saudi Arabia (Stock Exchange Releases on May 31, 2012; October 26, 2018; October 30, 2018 and February 8, 2019). The currently estimated provision is based on progress made with the analysis of the furnace. The provision is booked in Outotec's fourth quarter 2018 result. The outcome of the analysis, together with other factors such as Outotec's contractual position, will determine the eventual liability and financial impact of this incident for Outotec.

Risks related to Outotec's business operations are high in certain markets, such as the Middle East, Russia, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Turkey. The geopolitical situation, including risk of trade wars, Brexit, sanctions, security situation, economic conditions, and regulatory environment may change rapidly, causing ongoing business to be delayed, suspended or cancelled; or completely prevent Outotec from operating in these areas. These may result in a material impact on Outotec's financial results and valuation of its assets.

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

More information about Outotec's business risks and risk management is available in the Notes to the Financial Statements, as well as on the company's website at www.outotec.com/ investors.

MARKET OUTLOOK

The long-term outlook for metals demand is expected to be supported by new uses for metals, such as electric vehicles. New technologies for the reprocessing of materials offer opportunities to maximize the recovery of metals from existing sites. Tighter environmental regulations impose stricter limits for water and energy use. Investments are expected to focus largely on modernizations of existing processes. Investment decisions for greenfield and larger investments are expected to be slow in the short-term, due to volatility in global

macroeconomic environment which is impacting metal prices.

Investments in minerals processing will continue to be driven by increased mining activity, production levels, and continued emphasis on optimizing existing operations. Metalsspecific, demand-related growth expectations, in addition to more complex ores and lower ore grades, continue to provide opportunities especially for the Minerals Processing segment in process optimization, equipment upgrades, and services. Copper, gold, battery metals and aluminum projects are expected to be most active.

The technology portfolio for the Metals, Energy & Water segment provides opportunities in several markets. Copper, zinc, lithium and gold projects are expected to be most active. There is a global need for waste-to-energy and sludge incineration solutions, but often investments are progressing slowly, as they are tied to a regional development agenda and decisions made by the public sector.

MAIN EVENTS AFTER THE END OF 2018

January 22: Outotec was ranked 12th in the Global 100 Index of most sustainable companies in the world.

January 24: Order for a mine paste backfill system for a nickel mine in Canada. Value not disclosed but similar deliveries are approximately EUR 20–30 million.

February 5: Order for filtration technology and services for a lithium processing plant in Australia, value of approximately EUR 12 million.

February 8: Outotec makes EUR 110 million project provision relating to the ilmenite smelter.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE FOR 2019

Based on the current market outlook, we expect our sales to increase, and our aEBIT* to increase significantly from the 2018 aEBIT (EUR 63.8 million) without the provision for the ilmenite smelter project.

* Excluding restructuring- and acquisition-related items, as well as PPA amortizations.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS' PROPOSAL FOR PROFIT DISTRIBUTION

There have been no substantial changes in the financial position of the company after the balance sheet date.

PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE BOARD INVESTOR INFORMATION

Introduction

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INTRODUCTION

CORPORATE INFORMATION

Outotec Oyj ("the company" or "Parent company") is a Finnish public limited liability company organized under the laws of Finland, with its registered office in Espoo. Outotec Oyj has been listed on the Nasdaq Helsinki since 2006.

CEO'S REVIEW

Outotec is a leading global provider of process solutions, technologies, and services for the mining and metallurgical industries. The company also provides innovative solutions for industrial water treatment, energy production and chemical industry. Outotec utilizes its extensive experience and process know-how by providing environmentally sound and energy efficient plants, proprietary equipment, and services and works in close partnership with its customers.

Outotec and its subsidiaries (collectively "the Group" or "Outotec") operate through two business units which are also reporting segments: Minerals Processing and Metals, Energy & Water. The service business is reported under the two segments. However, its sales volume, order intake and order backlog are also reported separately on Outotec level.

The Board of Directors has authorized the Consolidated Financial Statements for issue on February 8, 2019. According to the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act the shareholders have the right to approve, amend or reject the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual General Meeting held after issuing.

Accounting principle

The consolidated financial statements of Outotec have been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union through the application of the IAS and IFRS standards as well as the SIC and IFRIC interpretations in force on December 31, 2018. Notes to the consolidated financial statements have also been prepared in accordance with the Finnish accounting Standards and Finnish corporate legislation.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of euros and have been prepared on the historical cost basis, unless otherwise stated in the accounting principles or disclosures. Figures presented have been rounded to the nearest whole number and consequently the sum of individual figures may deviate from the sum presented. Key figures have been calculated using exact figures.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the parent company Outotec Oyj and all subsidiaries where the parent company is in control of the company. The group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and is able to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

Acquired subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statement from the date when Outotec has gained control and disposed subsidiaries until the date when the controlling right has ended. Acquired companies are accounted for using the acquisition method, according to which the assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities of the acquired company are measured at fair value on the date of acquisition. Goodwill arising on an acquisition represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities acquired.

All intra-group transactions, receivables, liabilities, and unrealized margins, as well as the distribution of profits within the Group, are eliminated in the consolidation.

Non-controlling interests

Net profit or loss for the reporting period and comprehensive income items are allocated to the parent company's shareholders and non-controlling interest parties

Introduction

and are presented in the comprehensive income. The share of the non-controlling interest is disclosed separately from the equity belonging to the shareholders of the parent company.

CEO'S REVIEW

Foreign currency translation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in euros, which is the functional currency of the parent company. Comprehensive income and cash flows of subsidiaries, whose functional currency is not euro, are converted into euros at the average exchange rates during the financial period. Their statements of financial positions are converted at the exchange rates on the reporting date. The differences between average exchange rates and the reporting date rates are recognized in equity and the change is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions in the group companies are translated into functional currencies using the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into functional currencies at the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement or translation of monetary interest-bearing assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and related derivatives are recognized in financial income and expenses. Foreign exchange differences arising with respect to other financial instruments are included in operating profit under sales, purchases or other income and expenses.

ADOPTION OF NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS

Outotec has applied revised standards and interpretations that have become effective during the accounting period. The impact of the new standards and interpretations has been described below.

Adoption of IFRS 15

Outotec has adopted the IFRS 15 standard (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) as of January 1, 2018. As a result, Outotec restated the figures for 2017 using the full retrospective method. The new IFRS 15 standard replaced the IAS 18 and IAS 11 standards and related interpretations.

When applying the new standard, Outotec focused especially on the need to combine contracts for revenue recognition purposes, identification of performance obligations, estimation of variable considerations and revenue recognition over time or at a point in time.

Management assessed that certain customer contracts, previously recognized as revenue over time, were to be recognized as revenue at a point in time. The new requirements on identifying the performance obligations or combining the customer contracts mainly impacted the revenue recognition process at Outotec. There were no changes in transition to IFRS 15 with regard to standard equipment, spare part deliveries, long-term service contracts or shutdown services.

The impact of IFRS 15 on the Statement of comprehensive income and Statement of financial position for 2017 is disclosed below. The new accounting principles are disclosed in note 1.2.

Accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts. The most significant accounting estimates and judgements made by the management relate to customer contracts, impairment of goodwill, valuation of inventories and trade receivables, provisions, pension obliga-

tions and deferred tax assets and liabilities. The basis for the estimates is described in more detail in connection with the relevant disclosure.

Adoption of IFRS 9

Outotec has adopted the IFRS 9 standard (Financial instruments) as of January 1, 2018. The new standard replaced the items in IAS 39 related to recognition, classification and valuation of financial assets and liabilities as well as impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting. In accordance with the transition rules of the IFRS 9 standard, the comparative figures have not been restated.

Under the IFRS 9 standard, the Group's financial assets are classified as follows: fair value through profit or loss, fair value through other comprehensive income and amortized cost. According to the standard, the classification is performed as based on business objectives for the financial asset as well as its contractual cash flows and in connection with the original recognition. The tables below illustrate the changes in the transition from IAS 39 to IFRS 9. The reclassification had no impact on the values.

33 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, IFRS

PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE BOARD INVESTOR INFORMATION

Introduction

The amendments related to evaluaton of credit losses under the new IFRS 9 standard resulted in the establishment of a new bad debt provision policy at Outotec. The Group's previous bad debt provision policy focused on case-by-case decision-making, whereas IFRS 9 requires a more systematic approach for bad debt provisions. The Group uses a simplified credit loss matrix, according to which a credit loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses. The bad debt provision was increased by EUR 1.2 million (EUR 0.8 million net of tax) in accordance with the new policy. Outotec did not restate the comparative periods, and the impact of the transition period was recognized in the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2018.

CEO'S REVIEW

The new hedge accounting model introduced by IFRS 9 simplifies the application of hedge accounting and is more aligned with the risk management strategy. IFRS 9 also defines three hedge effectiveness requirements for the application of hedge accounting. These amendments did not have a material impact on the Group.

Adoption of IFRS 2

Outotec has adopted the IFRS 2 standard (Share-based payments) as of January 1, 2018. The standard amendments relate to the classification and measurement of share-based payment transactions.

The change in Outotec relates to awards with net settlement features, where the cashsettled component for withholding tax payments should be treated as equity-settled. Outotec has reclassified this component, totalling EUR 0.8 million for the on-going programs, from liabilities to equity in the opening balance at January 1, 2018. The revaluation change did not have a significant impact on the income statement and balance sheet. Outotec did not restate the comparative periods.

Adoption of IFRIC 22

Outotec has adopted the IFRIC 22 interpretation (Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Considerations) as of January 1, 2018. IFRIC 22 provides requirements about which exchange rate to use in reporting foreign currency transactions (such as revenue transactions) when payment is made or received in advance. The new interpretation did not have a significant impact on the income statement and balance sheet.

The following new standards, amendments and interpretations have been published, but they were not effective in 2018, neither has Outotec early adopted them:

IFRS 16 – Leases

Background

The new standard aims to provide better transparency for a lessee's financial leverage and capital employed. IFRS 16 introduces a single, on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognizes a rightof-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. The requirements for lessors remain mainly unchanged. IFRS 16 replaces the IAS 17 standard and related interpretations.

Impact analysis

Outotec has conducted a Group-wide analysis of the Group's lease contracts and has concluded. Outotec's lease portfolio consists mainly of offices, warehouses and company cars. Outotec will apply the exemptions for short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value, and will not recognize the right-of-use asset and lease liability for these lease contracts. The lease expenses related to these types of contracts will be recognized on a straight-line basis in the statement of comprehensive income.

In the statement of financial position, a right-of-use asset is recognized for lease contracts. Right-of-use assets are measured as the amount of lease liability and any prepayments or initial direct costs incurred. Lease liability is recognized as the present value of the remaining lease payments in the statement of financial position. Lease payments are discounted with the interest rate implicit in the lease contract, or if that rate cannot be readily determined, Outotec incremental borrowing rates will be used. At initial application, Outotec estimates the recognition of right-ofuse asset and respective lease liabilities in the range of EUR 65 million to EUR 75 million as of January 1, 2019.

Under IFRS 16, depreciation on right-of-use asset and interest expense on the discounted lease, a liability is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in comparison to lease expense recognized under IAS 17. This change will slightly improve operating result, and the impact on net profit is immaterial.

In the consolidated statement of cash flows, net cash from operating activities will increase and net cash used in financing activities will decrease as repayment of the principal portion of the lease liabilities is classified as cash flows from financing activities.

The Group's activities as a lessor are not material and hence Outotec does not expect any significant impact on the financial statements.

Introduction

Transition

Outotec will adopt IFRS 16 as of January 1, 2019 in accordance with the modified retrospective method in transition to the new standard. The comparison period figures will not be restated. Right-of-use assets are measured at the amount of the lease liability on adoption (adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease expenses).

CEO'S REVIEW

IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over income tax treatments

The new interpretation is to be applied to the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatment under IAS 12. Based on IFRIC 23, an entity must consider whether it is probable that the relevant tax authority would accept each tax treatment used in its income tax filings, assuming full visibility of all relevant information. Each uncertain tax treatment is to be considered separately or together as a group, and the impact of uncertainty is to be measured using either the most likely amount or the expected value method, depending on which approach better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty.

Outotec has assessed the impact of IFRIC 23, and will fully adopt it as of January 1, 2019. Based on the assessment, Outotec is not expecting any significant effects on the income statement or balance sheet due to implementation of IFRIC 23.

Amendments to IAS 19, IFRS 3 and IAS 1

The amendments to IAS 19 (Employee benefits) clarify the accounting for defined benefit plan amendments, curtailments and settlements. The amendment to IFRS 3 (Business combinations) revises the definition of a business. The amendments to IAS 1 (Presentation of financial statements) and consequential amendments to other IFRS standards clarify the definition of materiality.

These amendments are effective for periods after January 1, 2019 (IAS 19) or January 1, 2020 (IFRS 3 and IAS 1), but have not yet been endorsed by the EU, and are not expected to have a material impact on the Group's financial statements.

EXAMPLE OF CUSTOMIZED SOLUTION DELIVERY REVENUE RECOGNITION, EUR MILLION

CUSTOMER CONTRACTS & REVENUE RECOGNITION

  • Outotec defines two main principles for revenue recognition depending on offering to the customer:
  • Over time revenue recognition
  • At a point in time revenue recognition
  • Outotec's customized solution deliveries are usually recognized as revenue over time. Customized solution deliveries include plant, equipment, technolocy package as well as upgrade and modernization deliveries.
  • Over time revenue recognition follows the percentage of completion method based on cost-to-cost evaluation (see the example in the graph above).
  • Outotec's service deliveries, such as spare parts, technical services and shutdown services, are recognized as revenue at a point in time when the services have been rendered to the customer (see the example in the graph below).

CEO'S REVIEW

1.1 OPERATING SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS

Outotec's business logic is to serve its customers by providing solutions throughout the entire life cycle of customer operations in order to ensure optimized total cost of ownership. Outotec reports its result in line with the Group's strategy and internal financial reporting structure. Outotec's reportable operating segments are: Minerals Processing and Metals, Energy & Water. The Board of Directors assesses the Group's financial position and its development as a whole and based on the two operating segments.

The pricing of inter-segment transactions is based on current market prices. Segment assets and liabilities are operative items which are used in a segment's business operations or which can be allocated to the segments on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items include taxes, financial items, and items which are common for the whole group. Investments consist of additions in intangible and tangible assets, which are used on during more than one financial year.

Minerals Processing

Outotec provides the mining industry with sustainable mineral processing solutions, from pre-feasibility studies to complete plants and life cycle services. Outotec's comprehensive offering makes the efficient and profitable treatment of virtually all ore types possible.

Metals, Energy & Water

Outotec provides sustainable solutions for metal processing, renewable energy production and industrial water treatment. Metals include extensive range of metal processing solutions for processing virtually all types of ores and concentrates to refined metals. Energy includes innovative solutions for biomass, coal, sludge, agricultural and industrial by-products as well as oil shale and phosphorus recycling from sewage sludge ashes. Water includes solutions to produce water that meets the environmental discharge standards, maximize water recycling and reduce water and energy consumption.

Accounting principle

Operating segments

In accordance with IFRS 8, Outotec has determined that operating segments are based on end customers and the customer value chain. The operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided for the Board of Directors, which has been identified as Outotec's chief operating decision-maker, as described in the Charter of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is responsible for deciding on basic strategies of Outotec Group, deciding on major investments, business acquisitions and divestments as well as major sales contracts and significant financing arrangements. In addition, the Board of Directors nominates top management resources and decides on

significant changes in the business organization of the Group.

Geographical information is based on the three main areas where the Group has activities. The Regions are Americas, EMEA (including Europe, Middle East, Africa and CIS countries) and APAC (including Asia, Pacific, China and India).

Operating result

Operating profit is the net amount that equals to sales less cost of sales, added with other operating income, less selling and marketing, in addition to administration and research and development expenses, less other operating expenses and added with the share of the result of the associated companies.

The order backlog corresponds to the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are fully or partly unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period.

Accounting principle

Outotec recognizes revenue when control of the good or service is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the total payment to which the Group expects to be entitled. These principles are applied using the following five steps: (1) Identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) Determine the transaction price, (4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) Recognize revenue.

Customized solutions

Customized solution deliveries include complete plant deliveries as well as technology package and equipment deliveries.

In a typical plant delivery, Outotec has the overall project management responsibility of the project, including engineering, designing and constructing the plant, procuring all necessary materials and equipment, commissioning and start-up of the plant. In technology package and equipment deliveries, Outotec delivers a specified technology or equipment solution to the customer, typically including engineering and supply of proprietary equipment and overall project management. The projects may also include installation, advisory services, training, commissioning, performance test runs and other related services. Customized solution deliveries are typically considered as one performance obligation, as Outotec provides

significant service to integrate the goods and services, and the goods and services are highly interrelated with other goods and services promised in the contract.

The transaction prices are based on stand-alone market prices and fixed for the entire project delivery. If a contract includes more than one performance obligation, Outotec uses pricing information from proposal calculations in determining the stand-alone selling prices for the distinct performance obligations.

Outotec's contracts may also include components of variable consideration, such as penalties, liquidated damages or performance bonus arrangements. Variable components are generally allocated proportionately to all performance obligations in the contract, unless they relate to a specific performance obligation.

The criteria for recognizing revenue over time is typically met in Outotec's customized solution contracts. Outotec's performance creates an asset with no alternative use, and Outotec has an enforceable right to payment for the performance completed to date. To measure progress in projects where revenue is recognized over time, Outotec uses a method under which the percentage of completion is defined as the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs. This method is considered to result in a revenue profile that best reflects the transfer of control to the customer. ProviIN BRIEF

YEAR 2018

REPORT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SHARES AND SHAREHOLDERS

41 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, IFRS

PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE BOARD INVESTOR INFORMATION

Business operations > Operating performance

sions for expected project losses are recognized immediately as an expense.

For on-going over time projects, a customer payment is recognized as a payment received within contract liabilities. At each reporting date, revenue is recognized according to the measured progress and booked against the contract liabilities. A contract asset is recognized to the extent the recognized revenue exceeds the payment received. The contract liabilities are removed from the balance sheet after final billing of the contract. Project loss provisions are recognized when it is probable that the costs will exceed the estimated total revenue. The loss is recognized as an expense immediately, including general expenses to fulfil the contract.

In customized solution contracts, payments are usually received in advance, before satisfaction of the performance obligation. Payment terms exceeding one year are not typical in Outotec's business.

Service deliveries

Service deliveries include spare parts, technical and shutdown services. Spare parts are typically treated as a distinct performance obligation from the main project. Technical services mostly include operations and maintenance services, treated as a single performance obligation.

The transaction prices are in most cases based on fixed hourly or monthly pricing, and for shutdown services fixed for the entire project.

Outotec recognizes revenue for standard equipment and spare part deliveries typically at a point in time and as based on delivery terms.

Revenue for long-term service contracts and shutdown services are recognized when benefits have been rendered to the customer.

Costs relating to a customer contract and incurring under a point-in-time delivery are capitalized as inventory until the performance obligation has been satisfied and revenue is recognized along with the expense.

Outotec uses standard payment terms in its service contracts.

Warranties

Outotec grants standard assurance-type warranties for its mechanical equipment to guarantee that they will work in accordance with the contract. If an extended warranty is granted for the customer, it may be accounted for as a distinct performance obligation. Service-type warranties are not typical in Outotec's project business.

Accounting estimates and judgements

When evaluating the criteria for recognizing revenue over time, judgement is required in assessing the enforceable right to payment for the performance completed to date. Furthermore, a certain amount of judgement is required in over-time revenue recognition as this is based on estimates of anticipated contract revenues and expense as well as on the measurement of project

progress. Variable consideration is estimated by using either the expected value or the most likely amount. In addition, possible provisions for project losses and changes in accruals for project expenses are made based on the judgement of management. Risks related to new commercialized products are also evaluated and quantified, and the necessary accruals recognized.

of the parent company:
Basic earnings per share, EUR -0.42 -0.03
Diluted earnings per share, EUR -0.42 -0.03

Accounting principle

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net result attributable to the equity holders of the parent company by the outstanding weighted average number of shares during the period. Accrued interest on loans treated as equity instruments has been reduced from the net result. The number of purchased treasury shares has been excluded from the outstanding average number of shares. Also shares given based on share-based incentive programs are excluded, if the restriction period is still on-going.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares by the effect of diluting shares of the employee share saving plan and share-based incentive programs. In addition to the weighted average number of shares outstanding, the denominator includes the shares earned in the programs. Earned shares have been proportioned to the average market price during the period if they have not yet been distributed.

Effect of enacted change in future tax rates 0.0 -6.2
Other items -0.6 -0.6
Income taxes recognized in profit or loss 8.2 -13.1

The effective tax rate in 2018 was negatively impacted by EUR 7.6 million due to the write down of deferred tax assets relating to expiring tax losses.

The tax rate change from the US tax reform resulted in the re-measurement of deferred tax assets in 2017. The negative impact of this was EUR 6.0 million.

Accounting principle

The Group income tax expense includes taxes of the Group companies based on taxable profit for the period, tax adjustments for previous periods and the change in deferred income taxes. The income tax effects of items recognized directly in

equity or in other comprehensive income are similarly recognized. Current taxes are calculated on the taxable income based on the tax rates enacted for each country at the balance sheet date.

Accounting estimates and judgements

Outotec management evaluates regularly the positions taken in tax returns, which may be subject to interpretations. Based on the evaluation uncertain tax treatments are recognized as tax liability if Outotec considers that it is more likely than not that the final outcome of the assessment would increase tax liabilities for Outotec.

DEFERRED TAXES IN CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

Deferred taxes in consolidated statement of financial position

EUR million 2018 2017
Deferred tax assets 78.2 90.9
Deferred tax liabilities 7.7 39.7
70.6 51.2

Accounting principle

Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method and recognized on all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in the financial statements. Deferred tax is determined by using the tax rates (and laws) that are enacted or substantially enacted by the closing date and are expected to be applied at the time of settlement of the temporary difference. Deferred tax is recognized for the undistributed profits in subsidiaries and associated companies, unless the timing of

the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by Outotec and it is probable that such temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deductible temporary differences are recognized as a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available, against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets are offset against deferred tax liabilities when they relate to the same taxation authority.

Accounting estimates and judgements

In determining the deferred tax assets and liabilities, Outotec management has made certain assumptions and estimates regarding the future tax consequences related to differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as recorded in the financial statements and their tax basis. The assumptions made include estimates

regarding future operating performance and taxable income of subsidiaries, recoverability periods for tax-loss carry forwards will not change, and that the existing tax laws and rates will remain unchanged into foreseeable future in jurisdictions where Outotec operates.

IN THIS SECTION

Outotec defines net working capital as inventories, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and provisions, which are presented separately in this section:

OUTOTEC'S NET WORKING CAPITAL

  • Outotec's net working capital is driven by order intake because of advance payments which generally are 10–30% of the contract value. Advance payments consist mainly of customer payments for new plant and equipment orders as well as modernization service orders.
  • Growing service business is increasing net working capital levels
  • Change in net working capital has the biggest impact on operating cash flow

208.9 195.9

Write-downs of obsolete and slow-moving inventories to net realizable value has been recognized during the period amounting to EUR 6.5 million (2017: EUR 3.1 million).

Accounting principle

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the weighted average cost method or FIFO method (first-in, first-out). The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs, and related production overheads, but excludes borrowing costs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Work in progress includes costs incurred as of the reporting date under customer contracts in the customized solutions and modernizations business. Incurred costs include direct labor and material costs and a proportion of indirect costs related to the project.

Accounting estimates and judgements

A provision is recorded for obsolete and slow-moving inventory items based on the best estimate of expected net realizable value at the reporting date. In the systematic estimation process, the composition and the age of the inventory is compared to anticipated future needs.

1 As of January 1, 2018, Outotec implemented the new IFRS 9 standard, which gave effect to a new bad debt provision policy. The bad debt provision was increased by EUR 1.2 million (EUR 0.8 million net of tax) in accordance with the new policy. This amount was recognized in the opening balance of retained earnings.

Accounting estimates and judgements

Credit losses are evaluated in accordance with a model where a certain percentage of the trade receivables is recognized as a bad debt provision; 0.5% for undue and 1.0%–2.0% for less than one year overdue. The evaluation is anticipatory, and the

expected loss portion is based on amounts of historical losses. Due to the project nature of Outotec's business, the need for bad debt provision is reviewed case by case when the receivable is over one year overdue.

Accounting principle

Trade receivables are carried at their anticipated realizable value, which is the original invoice amount less a valuation allowance for estimated credit losses. The Group uses a simplified credit loss matrix, according to which a credit loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to the lifetime of expected credit losses.

Including a provision of EUR 110 million for possible costs relating to the ilmenite smelter project in Saudi Arabia. The currently estimated provision is based on progress made with the analysis of the furnace. The outcome of the analysis, together with other factors such as Outotec's contractual position, will determine the eventual liability and financial impact of this incident for Outotec.

Accounting principle

Provisions are recognized when Outotec has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Recognition and measurement of a provision generally employs management estimates of the probability and the amount of the liability.

Warranty provisions cover the estimated liability to repair or replace equipment still under warranty at the reporting date. Outotec generally offers warranties ranging from 12 to 24 months on its equipment and plant deliveries. The provision is calculated based on historical experience of levels of repairs and replacements.

Realized warranty costs are recognized against the provision when a claim for

compensation has been received and it is likely that the claim will be accepted and settled, and its amount can be reliably estimated. This allows monitoring of the remaining warranty provisions and regular assessment of their adequacy.

Project loss provisions are recognized when it is probable that the costs will exceed the estimated total revenue. The loss is recognized as an expense immediately.

Restructuring provisions are recognized only after a detailed and formal plan has been developed and approved, and the management has raised valid expectations that such a plan will be carried out and that the plan has been communicated. Other provisions can arise from legal, tax or environmental processes.

Accounting estimates and judgements

Recognition and measurement of a provision is based on best estimate of the probability and the amount of the liability at the reporting date and involve management's judgement.

Purchase price allocation amortizations related to acquisitions were EUR 6.6 million in 2018 (2017: EUR 7.3 million).

Impairment of assets

The Group recorded impairments of EUR 1.9 million on intangible assets (2017: EUR 1.1 million). The impairments in 2018 related to intellectual property rights and IT software.

The Group recorded impairments of EUR 0.0 million on tangible assets (2017: EUR 1.8 million). The impairments in 2018 related to machinery. The impairments in 2017 were entirely reclassified from provisions.

The impairments have been recorded under other expenses in the Statement of Comprehensive income.

Accounting principle

Intangible assets

Goodwill arising on an acquisition represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities acquired. Goodwill is stated at cost and is not amortized but is tested annually for impairment.

Other intangible assets include customer relationships, patents, copyrights, licenses and software. The valuation of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is based on fair value. Development costs or acquisition costs of new software clearly

associated with an identifiable product, which will be controlled by the Group and has probable economic benefit exceeding its cost beyond one year, are recognized as an intangible asset and depreciated over the software's expected useful life. Associated costs include staff costs of the development team. An intangible asset is recognized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Group, and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. All other expenditure is expensed as incurred.

PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE BOARD INVESTOR INFORMATION

Capital structure > Capital employed

Amortization of intangible assets is based on the following expected useful life:

  • Intangible rights 3–20 years
  • Software 3–10 years

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment acquired by Group companies are stated at historical cost, less impairment, except the assets of acquired companies that were stated at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Depreciation is calculated as based on the useful life of the assets. The carrying value of the property, plant and equipment in the statement of financial position represents the cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment charges.

Depreciation of tangible assets is based on the following expected useful life:

  • Buildings 10–20 years
  • Machinery and equipment 5–20 years
  • Research and development equipment 3–10 years

Land is not depreciated.

The expected useful life of non-current assets is reviewed on each reporting date and, where they differ significantly from previous estimates, depreciation periods are changed accordingly. Ordinary repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial year in which they are incurred. The cost of major renovations is included in the asset's carrying amount when it is probable that the Group will

derive future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset. Major renovations are depreciated over the useful life of the related assets. Gains and losses on sales and disposals are determined by comparing the received proceeds with the carrying amount and are included in the operating result.

Impairments of assets

Property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets, including goodwill and intangible assets, are reviewed for potential impairment at each date of statement of financial position and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If any such indication arises, the recoverable amount is estimated as the higher of the asset's fair value less cost of disposal and the value in use. An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of income whenever the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. However, the reversal must not result in the adjusted value being higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognized in prior years. Goodwill and intangible assets which are not yet available for use are tested for impairment. Further information in note 3.3.

Goodwill is allocated to the Group's cashgenerating units (CGUs) which is the lowest level of assets for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. In 2018, the testing was performed on Business Area level, which is the lowest cash-generating unit for Outotec, according to the current business organization and responsibilities. Calculations are prepared during the fourth quarter of the year. Based on the conducted impairment testing there was no need for goodwill impairment in 2018.

The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined as based on value-in-use calculations (discounted cash flow method). The planning period for cash flows is five years. The cash flow projections are based on long-range financial plan which is the outcome of the strategy approved by the Management and the Board of Directors. In defining the long-range plans for each CGUs, the management makes use of growth, demand, and price estimates

by market research institutions. Furthermore, the estimated sales and profits and the CGUspecific long-range plan are based on the current backlog and estimated order intake as well as cost development. The most important assumptions relate to gross margin levels in various products and the estimated overall gross margin level in relation to fixed costs. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are calculated using the terminal value method, where the EBITDA (=earnings before interest, taxes, amortizations and depreciation) of the fifth planning period is multiplied by six.

The discount rate applied to cash flow projections is the weighted average pre-tax cost of capital (WACC) as defined for Outotec. The components of WACC are the risk-free long-term government bond rates, market and industry risk premiums, cost of debt, and target capital structure.

CEO'S REVIEW

Key assumptions used in the calculations:
EUR million 2018 2017
Discount rate 8.4 7.7
EBITDA multiple 6.0 6.0

The impairment testing process includes a sensitivity analysis in which the business area cash flow estimates were reduced in Metals, Energy & Water by 50% and in Minerals Processing by 35%. Discount rates were increased by 2 percentage points. Under the basic scenario, the value-in-use calculations were on average 2.5 (2017: 2.5) times higher than the

assets employed of the business areas. In the sensitivity analysis the ratio was decreased to 1.5 (2017: 1.4). Based on the sensitivity analysis, it is not probable that the recoverable amount will fall below the carrying amount at December 31, 2018, even if the assumptions used in the sensitivity analysis face reasonable permanent changes.

Accounting principle

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually. For the purposes of impairment testing, assets are grouped at the lowest cash generating unit level for which there is separately identifiable, mainly independent, cash inflows and outflows. An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the asset's value in use. The value in use is determined by reference to discounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Impairment losses recognized for goodwill are not reversed.

Accounting estimates and judgements

Assessing the recoverable amount of a CGU requires significant judgement. While management believes that estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, many assumptions are subject to change because of changing economic and operational conditions. Key assumptions are the discount rate and EBITDA multiple, in addition to fu-

ture cash flows, where the most important assumptions relate to gross margin levels in various products and the estimated overall gross margin level in relation to fixed costs. Actual cash flows might vary from estimated discounted future cash flows and could result in changes in the recognition of impairment losses in future periods.

Accounting principle

Associated companies are entities in which Outotec has significant influence, but not control. Interests in associated companies are accounted for using the equity method. The share of results of associated companies is reported in the statement of comprehensive income above EBIT, and is calculated as based on profit after tax. If Outotec's share of losses exceeds the interest in the associated company, the carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred obligations with respect to the associated companies. The interest in an associated company is the carrying amount of the investment under the equity method together with any long-term interest that, in substance, forms part of the investor's net investment in the associated company.

holders. Other reserves include other items based on the local regulations of the group companies.

CEO'S REVIEW

The purchase of treasury shares with related transaction costs has been deducted from shareholder's equity in the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, assigning the treasury shares increases the shareholder's equity with a fair value. Treasury shares have been used for the share-based incentive program and the employee share savings plan. At year-end the number of own shares was 1,365,312 (2017: 1,677,929).

The reserve for invested non-restricted equity includes, under the Companies' Act, the exercise value of shareholders' investments in the company unless otherwise decided by the company.

Hybrid bond

In March 2016, Outotec Oyj issued a EUR 150.0 million hybrid bond, which is treated as equity in the IFRS consolidated financial statements. The hybrid bond is unsecured and in a weaker preference position than an unsecured debt obligation. A holder of hybrid bond notes has no shareholder rights. The bond has no specified maturity date, but the company may exercise an early redemption option for the first time on March 24, 2021.

Dividend

The Board of Directors proposes that no dividend will be paid for 2018. The parent company's distributable funds were EUR 243.1 million at December 31, 2018.

Accounting principle

Interest-bearing receivables comprise loans given to associated companies and others. Interest-bearing liabilities comprise of bonds, bank and other loans. Interest-bearing receivables and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Outotec classifies receivables and liabilities as non-current unless due for settlement within twelve months from the reporting date.

Other shares and securities are equity investments classified as fair value through other comprehensive income.

Net interest-bearing liabilities are defined as the total of interest-bearing liabilities less interest-bearing assets, other shares and securities and cash and cash equivalents.

4.5 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial Risk Management and Insurances

CEO'S REVIEW

According to Outotec's Financial Risk Management policy the CEO and the Executive Board monitor implementation of risk management procedures in coordination with the Board of Directors. The CFO is responsible for implementation and development of financial risk management.

The Board's Audit and Risk Committee oversees how the management monitors compliance with the Group's risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The Audit and Risk Committee is assisted by Internal Audit, which undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures.

Outotec has a centralised Group Treasury with two main objectives: 1) to arrange adequate funding for the Group's underlying operations on competitive terms and 2) to identify and evaluate the financial risks within the Group and implement the hedges for the Group companies.

Financial risks consist of market, credit and liquidity risks. Market risks are caused by changes in foreign exchange and interest rates, as well as commodity or other prices. Especially changes in foreign exchange rates may have a significant impact on Group's earnings, cash flows and balance sheet. As the main principle Outotec's business units hedge their market risks by entering into agreements with Group Treasury, which does most of the financial contracts with banks and other financial institutions. Outotec's Treasury is also responsible for managing certain Group level risks, such as interest rate risk and foreign currency transaction risk in accordance with the Financial Risk Management policy.

In addition, the Group is sensitive to the fluctuations of raw material, external suppliers and subcontractors. The price fluctuation is prevented and the availability of raw material ascertained by long-term contracts, timing of the acquisitions, and fixed contract prices.

Foreign exchange risk

The overall objective of foreign exchange risk management is to limit the short-term negative impact on earnings and cash flow from exchange rate fluctuations, therefore increasing the predictability of the financial results.

Foreign exchange risk is the principal market risk within Outotec and as such has a significant potential impact on the income statement and balance sheet.

The currencies related to sales and costs can vary materially. A major part of Outotec's sales is, and a significant part of costs arises in euros, US dollars, Australian dollars, Chilean peso and South African rand.Outotec's policy is to hedge in full the transaction risk. Cash flow risk related to firm commitments is hedged almost completely, within subsidiary specific limits defined in the Financial Risk Management policy, whereas forecasted and probable cash flows are hedged only selectively with financial instruments based on separate decisions. A major part of cash flow risk hedging takes place operatively by matching sales and cost currencies, and the remaining open net positions are normally hedged with

derivative contracts (typically forward agreements). Hedging currency pairs with large difference in interest rates may increase hedging costs. Subsidiary level foreign exchange exposures are monitored and consolidated on a monthly basis. In this description of financial risk management the term hedging has been used in its broadest sense, and therefore it also includes usage of non-hedge-accounted derivatives.

Hedge accounting in accordance with IFRS is applied to most of the hedges in these exposures. As the underlying cash flows can have long maturities, the related hedges can be done with shorter maturities and they can be rolled over when needed, so that at the maturity the total currency rate related gains/ losses from these hedges are expected to fully offset the related gains/losses from the underlying cash flows.

As only high credit quality counterparties are utilized, counterparty credit risk is expected to have minimal effect on hedge valuations.

Outotec does not typically hedge its equity translation risk.

See the tables "Transaction risk" and "Sensitivity of financial instruments on foreign exchange rates"

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk of repricing and price caused by the changes in market interest rates. To control interest rate risks in the loan portfolio the Group has agreed both fixed and floating rate instruments. On December 31, 2018 the share of fixed rate loans of all interest-bearing debt was 100 percent.

A significant part of the financial investments have a short-term interest rate as a reference rate. The majority of cash and cash equivalent funds are invested in bank accounts, bank deposits and short-term money market instruments. The advance payments received from projects in emerging markets and the related financial investments occasionally cause interest rate risks. The largest interest rate exposures are in euros, United States dollars and Chilean pesos.

The Group is designating derivatives (interest rate swaps) as hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model and account for fixed rate financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore a change in interest rates at the reporting date would affect profit or loss for fixed rate instruments. On December 31, 2018 the total nominal value of interest rate swaps was EUR 75.0 million (December 31, 2017: EUR 75.0 million).

For variable rate interest-bearing financial investments a shift of one percentage point would have increased (decreased) profit or loss by EUR 0.8 million for December 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017: EUR 0.6 million) and for variable rate interest bearing-debt by EUR 0.8 million for December 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017: EUR 0.8 million).

Securities price risk

Outotec does not have any material amounts of other listed equity securities classified as fair value through other comprehensive income.

Credit risks

Credit risk arises from the potential failure of a counterparty to meet its contractual payment obligations. In addition, counterparty risk arises in conjunction with financial investments and hedging instruments. The objective of credit and counterparty risk management is to minimize in a cost efficient manner the losses incurred as a result of counterparty not fulfilling its obligations.

CEO'S REVIEW

Outotec's trade receivables and other potential sources of sales contract related credit risk are generated by a large number of customers worldwide, but occasionally risk concentrations may develop due to large individual contracts. Outotec's operational and financial risk management policies have been created to manage the various project related risks and address them in a concised manner. The policies and related procedures require identification of counterparty risks in a project together with the evaluation of the available and cost efficient mitigation of risks with contractual terms and/or various financial instruments. The credit risks related to business operations can be mitigated for example by the use of advance payments and other payment terms under sales contracts, project specific credit insurance plans and letters of credit. The trade receivable exposures are reviewed regularly in Outotec's project level and other operative reporting. During 2018, the reporting of overdue external trade receivables, their rotation periods and collection were further intensified. More detailed analysis of trade receivables is included in note 2.2.

Outotec's Treasury manages a substantial part of the credit risk related to the Group's

financial investments. Outotec seeks to reduce these risks by limiting the counterparties to banks, other financial institutions and other counterparties, which have a good credit standing. Investments related to liquidity management are made in liquid money market instruments with, as far as possible, low credit risk and within pre-agreed credit limits and maturities. The limits are reviewed regularly. Part of Outotec's project advance payments can be invested in local money markets in emerging countries.

Insurances

Outotec Oyj acquires Group wide insurances on a case by case basis covering all or part of the Group companies' insurance needs. Furthermore, Outotec companies acquire local insurances on a case by case basis in separately defined areas and specific delivery contracts. The most important insurance lines relate to liability. On the other hand, decisions to insure credit risks in projects are usually made on a project by project basis.

General liability is the most important line of insurance and a major part of insurance premiums paid relate to these type of risks. For production units, Outotec has adequate property damage and business interruption insurance cover.

Liquidity risk

Outotec ensures required liquidity through a combination of cash management, liquid investment portfolios, and committed and uncommitted facilities. The object is to reduce liquidity and refinancing risks by means of the availability of an adequate number of credit

lines, which have a balanced maturity profile. Efficient cash and liquidity management also reduces liquidity risk.

Outotec's Treasury centrally raises most of the Group's interest-bearing debt.

Outotec's subsidiaries have had some local credit lines of their own, which mostly have been counter-guaranteed by Outotec Oyj. The share of long term loans was 90.5% of the total interest-bearing loan portfolio.

  • With regard to interest bearing debt, the Group offers the following committed lines of credit: EUR 100 million multicurrency revolving credit facility that is unsecured. The final maturity is on January 15, 2020.
  • EUR 60 million revolving credit facility that is unsecured. The final maturity is on January 10, 2020.

As of December 31, 2018 the above credit lines were fully unutilized.

Additionally Outotec has several bilateral uncommitted commercial bank guarantee limits the total aggregate nominal value of which exceeds EUR 700 million.

See the tables "Contractual cash flows of liabilites" and "Cash and cash equivalents and committed unutilized credit facilities".

Capital management

Outotec's gearing ratio was -10.1% on December 31, 2018 (-1.2% on December 31, 2017). The Board's target is to maintain a strong capital base in order to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business and the capability to pay dividends. The capital structure of the Group is reviewed by the Board of Directors on

a regular basis and the Board set the following long-term target in 2014:

• Gearing at maximum 50%

The Board of Directors of Outotec has a mandate to purchase its own shares on the market.

Certain externally imposed capital requirements exist. Outotec's main credit facilities from financial institutions include financial covenants related to adjusted equity ratio and liquidity. The Group has operated in compliance with the covenants during 2006–2018.

As part of Group's capital management operations Outotec Oyj, on March 24, 2016, issued a EUR 150 million five-year hybrid bond with a fixed coupon rate of 7.375 per cent per annum. The hybrid bond is treated as equity in the IFRS consolidated financial statements. Outotec can postpone interest payment if it does not distribute dividends or other equity to its shareholders. The bond has no maturity date, but the company has the right to redeem it five years after the issue date. The hybrid bond is unsecured and in a weaker preference position than unsecured debt obligation. A holder of hybrid bond notes has no shareholder rights.

Accounting principle

All derivatives, including embedded derivatives, are initially recognized at fair value on the date Outotec has entered into the derivative contract, and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Determination of fair values is based on quoted market prices and rates, discounting of cash flows, and option valuation models.

Fair values of currency forwards and swaps are determined by discounting the future nominal cash flows with relevant interest rates and then converting the discounted cash flows to the base currency using spot rates. The fair value of currency options is determined by utilizing commonly applied option valuation models.

The majority of Outotec's derivatives are hedging underlying operative transactions. In accordance with the IFRS 9 standard, part of these is not classified as hedging instruments as they do not meet the IFRS 9 standard criteria for hedge accounting. The fair value changes of these derivatives are recognized in the operating result under other income and expenses. However, if the derivative is assigned to financial items,

the fair value changes are recognized in financial income and expenses.

For those projects where cash flow hedge accounting is applied, the effectiveness of the hedge is tested and documented in accordance with IFRS 9. The hedge results are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in the same periods as the project revenue. The hedged cash flows are mainly customer prepayments that are recognized as revenue in the statement of comprehensive income using the percentage of completion method. The respective proportion of the hedge results has been recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as an adjustment to sales, and the remaining part in the other comprehensive income and presented in the cash flow hedge reserve in equity. The amounts in the cash flow hedge reserve also include a respective proportion of the realized result of hedges of customer prepayments that have already taken place but are not recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

All recognized fair value changes to equity are net of tax.

Accounting principle

Financial instruments are classified as fair value through profit or loss, fair value through other comprehensive income and amortized cost. The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. Equity investments are classified as fair value through other comprehensive income. Interest-bearing securities and convertible loan receivables are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss. However, highly liquid marketable securities with maturity not exceeding three months are classified as cash equivalents.

The Group classifies instruments at fair value into the following fair value hierarchy levels:

  • Level 1 fair values are measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical instruments
  • Level 2 fair values are measured using directly or indirectly observable inputs, other than those included in Level 1
  • Level 3 fair values are measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data.

Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are recognized at the trade date and measured at fair value through profit and loss. The unrealized fair value changes of instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in fair value reserve of equity net of taxes. In the event such an asset is disposed of, the accumulated fair value changes are released from other comprehensive income into retained earnings, and not through profit and loss.

Loans and receivables as well as all financial liabilities, except for derivatives, are recognized at the settlement date and measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Transaction costs are included in the initially recognized amount. The need for impairment is assessed separately for each loan receivable and when realized it is deducted from the carrying value. The impairment shall be based on evidence that it is probable that the Group will not be able to collect the loan receivable in accordance with initial terms.

5.1 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Share-based payments include a share-based incentive program for key personnel and an employee share savings plan.

Share-based Incentive Program

Outotec's Board of Directors decided 29 February 2016 to adopt a Share-based Incentive Program 2016–2018 for the company's key personnel. The program comprises three earning periods: calendar years 2016, 2017 and 2018. On an annual basis, the Board of Directors determines the maximum number of allocated shares, the participants, the length of earning period, the amount of the maximum reward for each individual, the earning criteria and the targets established for them. The length of the earning and measurement period can vary from one to three years. A precondition for the Executive Board members for being eligible for the Share-based Incentive Program is that s/he also participates in Outotec's Employee Share Savings Plan.

The reward will be paid in the spring of the year following the close of the earning period as a combination of shares and cash. The cash portion is intended for covering taxes and tax-related payments. The reward will not be paid if the person's employment ends before the close of the earning period. The person must also hold the earned shares and remain employed for at least two years after the close of the earning period. If the person leaves within this period, the shares will be returned to Outotec.

The targets for the 2016 earning period, being based on net profit and free cash flow, were not reached and thus no reward was paid. The targets for the 2017 earning period were based on adjusted EBIT and free cash flow, and the reward paid in June 2018 amounted to 150,014 shares in addition to a cash payment that equals income taxes. The targets for the 2018 earning period were based on adjusted EBIT and free cash flow. These were not reached and thus no reward will be paid out.

Employee Share Savings Plan

Outotec's Board of Directors decided on September 25, 2012, to launch a global Employee Share Savings Plan for Outotec employees. The participants have a possibility to save 2 to 5% of their gross salary for purchasing Outotec shares. The shares are acquired at market price quarterly. To encourage participation, Outotec offers each participant one free share for two acquired shares, after a designated holding period of approximately three years. The free shares are taxable income for the recipient; consequently, part of the granted shares is withheld as a cash portion for settlement of income taxes, the plan thus having net settlement features. On September 20, 2018, the Board of Directors decided to continue the plan also in 2019. The following savings periods are subject to a separate Board decision.

The 2015 plan ended during the reporting period, under which a reward corresponding to a total of 166,571 shares was delivered in addition to the cash portion intended for covering taxes and tax related payments.

Accounting principle

The fair value of share-based payments is measured on the day on which the share-based payment plan is agreed upon between the counterparties and will be recognized as an expense over the vesting period. The settlement is a combination of shares and cash. The component settled in shares is recognized in shareholders' equity and the payment settled in cash in liabilities. However, for awards with net settlement features, the cash-settled component for withholding tax payment is treated as equity-settled and recognized in shareholders' equity. The fair value of the component treated as equity-settled is measured using the Outotec share price on the grant date. The fair value of the liability incurred in respect of a cash-settled transaction is measured using the Outotec share price on each reporting date until the reward payment.

Since the plan participants are not entitled to receive dividends during the earning period, the dividends expected to be paid have been deducted from the share price of the grant date when measuring the fair value.

5.2 PENSION OBLIGATIONS

The pension plans in Outotec are mainly classified as defined contribution plans. Defined benefit pension plans are in Germany. The basis for the defined benefit plans is a fixed pension amount earned for every service year. The amount depends on the salary group at date of retirement. In the event of early retirement, the pension is reduced until the normal retirement age. Furthermore there are entitlements for widow's and orphan's pensions which are part of the spouse's pension. Other post-employment benefits relate to retirement medical arrangements in Germany.

Principal actuarial assumptions

CEO'S REVIEW

% 2018 2017
Discount rate 1.90 1.75
Future benefit increase expectation 1.80 1.80

Assumption for the retirement age follows the normal age in Germany. Assumptions regarding the mortality are made according to the actuarial guidelines and are based on the local statistics and knowledge. Other post-employment benefit oblications are influenced by the medical cost trend.

Sensitivity analysis of principal actuarial assumptions

% Change in
assumption
Impact
of increase
Impact
of decrease
Discount rate 0.25% -4.1% 4.3%
Future benefit increase expectation 0.25% 2.3% -2.2%
Medical cost trend expectation 1.00% 0.6% -0.5%
Change in expected lifetime 1 year 3.8% -3.8%

Above sensitivity analysis is calculated by changing one assumption while others are expected to remain unchanged. In reality this is unlikely and assumptions may correlate with each others. Defined benefit liability in the sensitivity analysis is calculated with the same method as in the balance sheet.

Defined benefit plans expose the Group to different type of risks, the most relevant being the interest risk. In the event that assumptions behind the discount rate change substantially and the discount rate decreases significantly, the present value of the defined benefit plan obligations will also increase. Outotec's discount rate is based on the markets for fixed interest long running papers.

Defined benefit plans include lifetime benefits for the beneficiaries. Therefore, a decrease in mortality assumption increases the pension and health care obligations.

Accounting principle

Group companies in various countries have different kinds of pension plans in accordance with local conditions and practices. The plans are classified as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans.

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan. The liability recognized in the balance sheet with respect to defined benefit pension plans is the present values of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of the plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Past service costs are recognized immediately in the statement of income.

Accounting estimates and judgements

Several actuarial assumptions are used in calculating the expense and liability related to the defined benefit plans, the most critical assumptions being the discount rate and future benefit increase expectation.

Statistical information used may differ from actual results, which may have impact on the future amounts of the defined benefit obligation and future expense.

EUR million 2018 2017
Guarantees for commercial commitments at December 31 490.7 475.2

No securities or collateral have been pledged. Commercial guarantees are related to performance obligations of project and equipment deliveries. These are issued by financial institutions or Outotec Oyj on behalf of Group companies. The total value of commercial guarantees above does not include advance payment guarantees issued by the parent or other Group companies or guarantees for financial obligations. The total amount

of guarantees for financing issued by Group companies amounted to EUR 4.4 million at December 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017: EUR 7.1 million) and for commercial commitments including advance payment guarantees EUR 688.1 million at December 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017: EUR 679.8 million). High exposure of on-demand guarantees may increase the risk of claims that may have an impact on the liquidity of Outotec.

Major off-balance sheet investment commitments

The Group had no major off-balance sheet investment commitments at December 31, 2018.

Accounting principle

Leases

Leases of assets where the lessor retains all the risks and benefits of ownership are classified as operating leases. Payments made under other rental agreements are expensed on a straight-line basis over the

lease periods. Leases of property, plant and equipment, where the lessee has substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of an asset, are classified as finance leases.

For the external financial assets and liabilities subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar arrangements above, each agreement between the Group and the counterparty allows for net settlement of the relevant financial assets and liabilities when both elect to settle on a net basis. In the absence of such an election, financial assets and liabilities will be settled on a gross basis, however, each party to the master netting agreement or similar agreement will have the option to settle all such amounts on a net basis in the event of default of the other party.

AUDITOR'S REPORT

(Translation of the Finnish Original)

To the Annual General Meeting of Outotec Oyj

CEO'S REVIEW

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OPINION

In our opinion

  • the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the group's financial position and financial performance and cash flows in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU
  • the financial statements give a true and fair view of the parent company's financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements.

Our opinion is consistent with the additional report to the Audit Committee.

What we have audited

We have audited the financial statements of Outotec Oyj (business identity code 0828105-4) for the year ended 31 December 2018. The financial statements comprise:

  • the consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated statement of cash flows and notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
  • the parent company's balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and notes.

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland. Our responsibilities under good auditing practice are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We are independent of the parent company and of the group companies in accordance with the ethical requirements that are applicable in Finland and are relevant to our audit, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

To the best of our knowledge and belief, the non-audit services that we have provided to the parent company and to the group companies are in accordance with the applicable law and regulations in Finland and we have not provided non-audit services that are prohibited under Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014. The non-audit services that we have provided are disclosed in note 1.3 to the Financial Statements.

OUR AUDIT APPROACH

Overview

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we considered where management made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain.

IN BRIEF

YEAR 2018

CEO'S REVIEW REPORT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SHARES AND SHAREHOLDERS CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, IFRS

PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE BOARD INVESTOR INFORMATION

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.

Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall group materiality for the consolidated financial statements as set out in the table below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements on the financial statements as a whole.

Overall group materiality € 12 million (2017: € 12 million)
How we determined it We used the combination of 1% of total revenues and 1% of total
assets to determine overall group materiality.
Rationale for the
materiality benchmark
applied
We assessed for Outotec the suitability of the commonly accept
ed benchmarks for the determination of materiality. Due to the
volatility in profitability of the company, we determined that total
assets and total revenues as a combination provide a suitable
representation of the magnitude of Outotec's operations. The
percentages applied are within the commonly accepted range as
set out in relevant auditing standards.

How we tailored our group audit scope

We tailored the scope of our audit, taking into account the structure of the group, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the group operates.

We determined the type of work that needed to be performed at group companies by us, as the group engagement team, or by auditors from other PwC networks firms operating under our instructions. Audits were performed in group companies which are considered significant either because of their individual financial significance or due to their specific nature, covering the majority of revenue, assets and liabilities of the Group. We also performed additional specified procedures as well as analytical procedures at the group-level.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

Valuation of goodwill
Refer to notes "basis of preparation", 3.2 and
3.3 in the consolidated financial statements
The company has two cash flow generating
units (CGUs): Minerals Processing (MP) and
Metals, Energy and Water (MEW). The goodwill
balance arising from these CGU's represent
17% of the company's total assets as of 31
December 2018.
The company is responsible for performing
annual impairment tests on goodwill as
sociated with the above CGU's. Management
utilizes the discounted cash flow (DCF) model
in determining the value in use (VIU) associated
with each of the identified CGU's. The goodwill
impairment assessment involves considerable
judgment with respect to the determination of
the valuation model and the key assumptions
used, which involves revenue growth, profit
margin, discount rate, and terminal value.
Due to the challenging market conditions
and negative results in MEW over recent years,
goodwill valuation is considered a key audit
matter.
We obtained an detailed understanding of the
valuation utilized by management in their
goodwill impairment assessment and tested
the key assumptions as follows:

the company's CGU's and the allocation
of the goodwill balance over the identified
CGU's.

Valuation of trade receivables
Refer to notes 2 and 2.2 in the consolidated
financial statements
The company has significant trade receivables
from a wide range of customers across the
world. The customers include private and state
actors in a number of industries.
Trade receivables include inherent risk of
credit loss, in addition to which a significant
portion of the receivables are aged, as dis
closed in note 2.2 to the financial statements.
Significant aging is considered an indication of
heightened risk of credit loss. The Group uses
a simplified credit loss matrix, according to
which a credit loss allowance is measured at
an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit
losses. The challenging market environment in
which the company operates also emphasizes
the risk of credit loss.
The company carries trade receivables at
their anticipated realizable value, which is the

CEO'S REVIEW REPORT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SHARES AND SHAREHOLDERS CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, IFRS

PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE BOARD INVESTOR INFORMATION

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the Financial Statements

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, and of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for assessing the parent company's and the group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared using the going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention to liquidate the parent company or the group or to cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with good auditing practice will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with good auditing practice, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the parent company's or the group's internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' and the Managing Director's use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the parent company's or the group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the parent company or the group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events so that the financial statements give a true and fair view.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
