OUTOTEC OYJ

INTERIM REPORT JANUARY–MARCH 2017

Significantly improved order intake

"Our first quarter order intake improved significantly from the comparison period in 2016. The improvement reflects the more positive market sentiment in the mining industry but also the low order intake in the comparison period. In addition to equipment orders in minerals processing, we got some larger plant orders in metals refining. We were also able to increase our service order intake by 13%. Our profitability improved following savings on fixed costs and higher sales volumes, but cash flow remained negative due to the backlog of mature orders.

Our new organization, with a dedicated Services business

unit operational since April 1, helps us to further strengthen our capabilities in serving our customers and winning new orders. We will continue working to restore the Metals, Energy & Water segment's profitability and review our product portfolio and strategy during the forthcoming months. Although our order intake improved significantly from last year, and sentiment in the mining market has improved, the timing of large plant orders is difficult to foresee," summarizes President & CEO Markku Teräsvasara.

1 Excluding restructuring and acquisition-related costs and PPA amortizations.

Financial guidance for 2017 reiterated in Q1

The guidance for 2017 is based on the current order backlog and market outlook, as well as achieved cost savings.

  • Sales are expected to be approximately EUR 1,050–1,150 million, and
  • Adjusted EBIT* is expected to be approximately 3–5%

* Excluding restructuring and acquisition-related costs, as well as purchase price allocation amortizations.

MARKET DEVELOPMENT

In the first quarter, market activity continued at the year-end level, backed by metals prices. More projects were in the decision-making phase in comparison with the previous year. Although markets have developed positively, many customers continued to focus on improving their cash flow and profitability.

In the first quarter, gold, aluminum, copper, and zinc projects were most active. Customers in the Middle East, Central and South America, and Russia continued to invest more. Business across other markets was mainly related to smaller equipment deliveries. The Asian market was more subdued. Competition remained intense.

ORDER INTAKE AND BACKLOG

The order intake in the first quarter was EUR 318 (170) million, up 87% from the comparison period. The growth was attributable to equipment orders in the Minerals Processing segment as well as larger plant orders in the Metals, Energy & Water segment. Service order intake increased to EUR 115 (102) million, up 13% from the comparison period due to growth in spare parts.

The reporting period also includes the positive impact of a EUR 0.9 million reduction from an earn-out payment liability related to acquisition.

4 Related to foreign exchange forward agreements and bank accounts.

Sales in the first quarter increased 12% from the comparison period. Growth was attributable mainly to increased process equipment orders in the Minerals Processing segment in 2016. Service sales decreased by 13% from the comparison period representing 37 (48) % of sales. The reduction was due to the decline in shut-down service contracts in the Metals, Energy & Water segment.

Fixed costs in the first quarter, including selling and marketing, administrative, R&D and fixed delivery expenses, declined 5% (in comparable currencies -8%) from the comparison period, totaling EUR 70 (74) million, or 26 (31)% of sales.

Adjusted EBIT was positively impacted by increased sales, lower fixed costs, and unrealized and realized foreign exchange gains.

The result before taxes was EUR -3 (-15) million, including net finance expenses of EUR 2 (2) million due to interest costs and the valuation of foreign exchange forward agreements. The net result in the first quarter was EUR -3 (-12) million. The net impact from taxes totaled EUR 1 (3) million positive. Earnings per share totaled EUR -0.03 (-0.07).

2 Related to foreign exchange forward agreements and bank accounts

The order intake in the Metals, Energy & Water segment increased by 161% from the comparison period, mainly due to increased plant orders. Service orders remained approximately at the previous year's level. The segment's sales declined by 10% due to a low order intake in 2016, which resulted in a low opening order backlog for 2017. Lower sales, especially in services, as well as low utilization rates, weakened the segment's profitability.

SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Although metals prices have recovered, major investments continue to develop slowly and new investments may be delayed. Existing projects may be put on hold or cancelled. Uncertainty around China's economical outlook continues which may impact metals demand and prices. There is also a continued risk of credit losses, especially in receivables from emerging markets.

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 and credit losses related to a few large projects in the Metals, Energy & Water segment. If the project risks materialized in full, they could have a material impact on Outotec's financial results and could lead to decreasing headroom under financial covenants related to the capital structure and liquidity.

Risks related to Outotec's business operations are high in certain markets such as the Middle East, Russia, and Turkey. The geopolitical situation, sanctions, uncertainties around Brexit, the security situation or economic conditions may change rapidly and cause ongoing projects to be delayed, suspended, or cancelled, or completely prevent Outotec from operating in these areas. This may result in a material impact on Outotec's assets.

Outotec is involved in a number of disputes that may lead to arbitration and court proceedings. Differing interpretations of international contracts and laws may cause uncertainty in estimating the final 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.

MAIN EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

April 19: Outotec announced the delivery of grinding and flotation technology for a copper concentrator in the value of EUR 17 million. The order from Russia has been booked in Outotec's 2017 second quarter order intake.

April 18: Outotec launched a new mobile app which provides immediate feedback from equipment inspections. The app allows technicians to capture all relevant technical data and images. After inspection, a preliminary report can be emailed immediately to the customer.

April 7: Changes were made to Outotec's own shares related to the payment of the free shares under the Employee Share Savings Plan for the 2014 savings period. The exact number of payable shares will be defined when the holding period of the Employee Share Savings Plan ends on May 15, 2017. The maximum reward is 190,000 shares.

MARKET OUTLOOK

Investments in minerals processing are expected to follow the industry's production levels, providing continued opportunities for process improvements, smaller equipment deliveries, and services. Gold and copper projects are likely to continue being most active, but other base metals projects are also showing increased activity.

The Metals, Energy & Water segment's wide technology portfolio provides opportunities in a number of end markets. Copper, zinc, gold and sulfuric acid projects are most active. Investments are often linked to regional and geopolitical needs. The timing of larger orders is particularly difficult to foresee.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE FOR 2017 REITERATED

The guidance for 2017 is based on the current order backlog and market outlook, as well as achieved cost savings.

  • Sales are expected to be approximately EUR 1,050-1,150 million, and
  • Adjusted EBIT* is expected to be approximately 3-5%

* Excluding restructuring and acquisition-related costs, as well as purchase price allocation amortizations.

NOTES TO THE STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME AND FINANCIAL POSITION

These Interim Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. In these Interim Financial Statements, the same accounting policies and methods have been applied as in the latest Annual Financial Statements. These Interim Financial Statements are unaudited.

The following new standards and interpretations have been published, but they are not effective in 2017, nor has Outotec early-adopted them:

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments:

  • The new standard replaces the current standard IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement. It addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. Based on IFRS 9, financial assets are required to be classified into three measurement categories: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income, or fair value through profit or loss. The determination is made at initial recognition. The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. The standard also changes the recognition of impairment losses and the application of hedge accounting.
  • Outotec is assessing the impact of IFRS 9 and intends to fully adopt it in 2018.
  • The Group is not expecting categorization of financial assets to significantly affect the income statement or balance sheet. The Group has paid attention especially to the amendments in applying hedge accounting. The changes are expected to at least moderately improve the applicability of foreign exchange cash flow hedge accounting in Outotec's business operations and therefore to some extent decrease volatility in the income statement. Thechanges to hedge accounting are not expected to significantly affect the balance sheet.
  • The Group has established a model for evaluating credit losses under IFRS 9. This model is not expected to have a significant impact on the income statement or balance sheet.

IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers:

  • The new standard aims to establish principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity's contracts with its customers. It replaces the IAS 18 and IAS 11 standards and related interpretations. The new standard includes a five-step procedure for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers.
  • Outotec is assessing the impact of IFRS 15 and intends to adopt it in 2018. Outotec expects to transition to the new standard with the full retrospective method. The Group has especially paid attention to the identification of performance obligations and the criteria for the recognition of revenue over time.
  • Based on the impact analysis, management's current understanding is that there will be no significant impact on the Group's income statement and balance sheet. Management has assessed certain scenarios during the evaluation project. These scenarios mainly relate to combining contracts, identifying of performance obligations, evaluating variable considerations and defining the method for revenue recognition. The new standard will, to

some extent, even out margin recognition over time, because of combining contracts. Certain customer contracts that are currently recognized as revenue over time, would be recognized at a point in time according to IFRS 15. However, the current understanding is, that these changes will not have significant impact on the income statement or balance sheet.

IFRS 16 – Leases

The new standard requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases. Leases will no longer be classified as operating leases or finance leases, and all leases will have a single accounting model with certain exemptions. There are no major changes for lessors. The new standard replaces the IAS 17 standard and related interpretations. Outotec is planning to assess the impacts of the standard and intends to adopt it in 2019.

Use of estimates

IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses in the reporting period. Accounting estimates are employed in the financial statements to determine reported amounts, including the realizability of certain assets, the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, income taxes, provisions, pension obligations, and the impairment of goodwill. These estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current events and actions; however, it is possible that the actual results may differ from the estimates used in the financial statements.

No securities or collateral have been pledged. Commercial guarantees are related to performance obligations for 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 13.4 million at March 31, 2017 (March 31, 2016: EUR 10.2 million, December 31, 2016: EUR 13.6 million) and for commercial commitments including advance payment guarantees EUR 544.0 million at March 31, 2017 (March 31, 2016: EUR 551.7 million, December 31, 2016: EUR 551.2 million). High exposure of on-demand guarantees may increase the risk of claims that may have an impact on the liquidity of Outotec.
