Interim Review January 1 – September 30, 2016

Metso's Interim Review January 1 – September 30, 2016

Figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period in 2015, unless otherwise stated.

Third quarter 2016 in brief (compared to the third quarter of 2015)

  • Minerals' equipment orders increased 19 percent while services orders decreased 3 percent.
  • Oil & gas-related valve orders weakened in the Flow Control segment.
  • Orders received totaled EUR 628 million (EUR 647 million), of which EUR 422 million (EUR 436 million) were services orders.
  • Net sales totaled EUR 638 million (EUR 680 million), of which services accounted for EUR 413 million (EUR 435 million).
  • Adjusted EBITA totaled EUR 77 million, or 12.1 percent of net sales (EUR 92 million, 13.6%).
  • Operating profit totaled EUR 63 million, or 9.9 percent of net sales (EUR 76 million, 11.1%).
  • Free cash flow was healthy at EUR 106 million (EUR 117 million).

Outlook for 2016 (changes in brackets)

Metso's overall trading conditions in 2016 will be somewhat weaker compared to 2015. Demand for our products and services is expected to develop as follows:

  • remain weak for mining equipment and satisfactory for mining services
  • remain satisfactory for aggregates equipment and services
  • remain satisfactory for Flow Control products related to customers' new investments and has changed to satisfactory (previously: good) for Flow Control services, with increased uncertainty in the oil & gas market.

At the end of September 2016, our backlog for the remainder of 2016 totaled approximately EUR 680 million, but due to current market conditions we expect some of these deliveries to be postponed into 2017. Internal efficiency actions will continue to improve competitiveness and they will result in negative net adjustment items of approximately EUR 30 million in 2016. Capital expenditure excluding acquisitions is expected to be lower than in 2015. Net financial costs are expected to be on the same level as in 2015.

President and CEO Matti Kähkönen:

Demand in the mining market in the third quarter remained at the same level compared to the previous quarter. Activity in the capital equipment business was stable; despite the fact that orders increased year-on-year, we do not foresee a rapid recovery from the current low level. Mining services orders were on the same level seen during the past 12 months. A slight improvement could be seen in the aggregates business, where sales in some markets, such as the Nordic countries, India and the US, have been growing this year. In Flow Control we saw weakness in the oil & gas sector demand during the quarter. This resulted in lower valve orders for customers' capex projects. Services

orders in Flow Control were relatively stable.

Despite challenges in the market place, we have been able to maintain our profitability and financial position at a healthy level, thanks to internal efficiency improvement actions that we will continue to implement during the fourth quarter. Our EBITA margin of 12.1% was the highest seen so far this year and our free cash flow was good at EUR 106 million.

Operating environment, orders received and backlog

Demand for new capital equipment in our customer industries was weak in the third quarter, while overall trading activity remained stable compared to the second quarter. Market weakness in the oil & gas downstream sector had a negative effect on the demand for valves in Flow Control while demand for valve services was stable. Aggregates equipment demand in the Nordics grew and we continued to see healthy demand for aggregates equipment and services in the US and India. Mining equipment and services demand was unchanged.

The Group's orders received in the third quarter were EUR 628 million, which was 3 percent lower than in the comparison period. Minerals' orders increased 4 percent and were EUR 492 million, of which EUR 330 million were services orders (EUR 339 million). Thanks to growth in both aggregates and mining, minerals equipment orders increased 19 percent. Minerals' services orders decreased 3 percent. Flow Control saw orders decline by 21 percent due to weaker demand for valves for new projects in the oil & gas sector. Orders for Flow Control's services business remained fairly stable, declining 4 percent to EUR 92 million.

In January-September orders received totaled EUR 2,052 million which is 7 percent lower year-on-year. Our order backlog totaled EUR 1,305 million which is 3 percent higher than at the end of 2015. The backlog for the remainder of 2016 totals approximately EUR 680 million, but due to current market conditions we expect some deliveries to be postponed into 2017.

Net sales

Net sales in July-September were EUR 638 million, which is 6 percent lower than in the comparison period. Minerals' net sales were EUR 477 million and declined 5 percent following lower services sales. Minerals' equipment sales were down 1 percent as growth in aggregates was offset by a decline in mining. Flow Control's sales declined 10 percent and totaled EUR 161 million. The large drop resulted from lower deliveries to oil & gas customers. Flow Control's services net sales was flat year-on-year and totaled EUR 94 million. Currencies had only a minor effect on net sales in the third quarter.

Net sales in January-September totaled EUR 1,910 million, which is 12 percent lower year-on-year. Sales of services totaled EUR 1,261 million and accounted for 66 percent of net sales (EUR 1,359 million and 63 percent).

Net sales, orders received and adjusted EBITA margin

Financial performance

Adjusted EBITA (earnings before interest, taxes and amortization) in the third quarter was EUR 77 million, or 12.1 percent of net sales (EUR 92 million or 13.6%). Adjusted EBITA in January-September was EUR 210 million, or 11.0 percent of net sales (EUR 262 million or 12.1%).

Operating profit (EBIT) in the third quarter was EUR 63 million, or 9.9 percent of net sales (EUR 76 million or 11.1%). Net adjustment items in the third quarter were EUR 10 million negative and included restructuring costs and income from the divestment of the head office property.

Operating profit for January-September was EUR 183 million, or 9.6 percent of net sales. Profit before taxes was EUR 152 million (EUR 457 million including the gain from the divestment of PAS). The tax rate for 2016 is expected to be about 30 percent, which is at the same level as in 2015. Net cash generated by operating activities totaled EUR 238 million (EUR 294 million) and free cash flow was EUR 242 million (EUR 282 million). Changes in net working capital had a EUR 37 million positive impact on the cash flow.

Net financing expenses in January-September were EUR 31 million (EUR 31 million). Interest expenses accounted for EUR 23 million (EUR 22 million), interest income for EUR 5 million (EUR 5 million), foreign exchange losses for EUR 2 million (EUR 3 million loss), and other net financial expenses for EUR 11 million (EUR 11 million).

Financial position

Metso's liquidity position is strong. Total cash assets at the end of September 2016 were EUR 721 million (EUR 657 million at the end of 2015), of which EUR 101 million (EUR 67 million) was invested in financial instruments with an initial maturity exceeding three months, and the remaining EUR 620 million (EUR 590 million) is accounted for as cash and cash equivalents. The Group has a committed EUR 500 million revolving credit facility, which is undrawn.

The Group's balance sheet remains strong. Net interest-bearing liabilities totaled EUR 70 million at the end of September (EUR 153 million at the end of 2015) and gearing was 5.1 percent (10.6% at the end of 2015). The equity-to-asset ratio was 48.1 percent (48.3% at the end of 2015).

There were no changes in our credit rating during the reporting period. Standard & Poor's Ratings Services confirmed the latest rating in March 2016: long-term corporate credit rating BBB and short-term A-2, outlook stable.

Capital expenditure and R&D

Gross capital expenditure in January-September, excluding business acquisitions, was EUR 21 million (EUR 31 million). Maintenance accounted for 88 percent, i.e. EUR 18 million (78% and EUR 25 million). Capital expenditure in 2016 is expected to decline compared to 2015 (EUR 45 million). Research and development expenses in January-September totaled EUR 26 million, i.e. 1.4 percent of net sales (EUR 25 million or 1.2%).

On July 12, 2016, Metso divested its head office property, in Helsinki, Finland, for a value of EUR 19.3 million and booked a EUR 10.4 million capital gain before taxes during the third quarter of 2016. Metso's head office will move to a new location in Helsinki in December 2016.

Changes in Metso's Executive Team

On June 9, 2016, Metso announced the following changes in its Executive Team, effective from August 1, 2016. New members of the Executive Team; Eeva Sipilä, who joined Metso as Chief Financial Officer, Jani Puroranta, who started as Chief Digital Officer, Urs Pennanen, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Customer Operations, and Olli-Pekka Oksanen, who was appointed Senior Vice President, Strategy and Business Development.

Metso's Executive Team consists of: Matti Kähkönen, President and CEO (Chairman of the Executive Team) Eeva Sipilä, CFO João Ney Colagrossi, President, Minerals Perttu Louhiluoto, President, Services John Quinlivan, President, Flow Control Merja Kamppari, Senior Vice President, Human Resources Olli-Pekka Oksanen, Senior Vice President, Strategy and Business Development Urs Pennanen, Senior Vice President, Customer and Marketing Operations Jani Puroranta, Chief Digital Officer

Short-term business risks and market uncertainties

Uncertainties surrounding economic growth globally might affect our customer industries and weaken the demand for Metso's products and services. Fluctuations in commodity prices may cause projects to be postponed, delayed or discontinued, and low prices may reduce the investment appetite and cut spending among our customers. Our backlog, projects under negotiation and other business operations might also be adversely affected by political turbulence seen in many regions.

Exchange rate fluctuations might adversely affect our order intake, sales and financial performance, although the wide geographical scope of our operations limits the exposure to single currencies. Metso hedges currency exposure linked to firm delivery and purchase agreements.

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

Outlook for 2016 (changes in brackets)

Metso's overall trading conditions in 2016 will be somewhat weaker compared to 2015. Demand for our products and services is expected to develop as follows:

  • remain weak for mining equipment and satisfactory for mining services
  • remain satisfactory for aggregates equipment and services
  • remain satisfactory for Flow Control products related to customers' new investments and has changed to satisfactory (previously: good) for Flow Control services, with increased uncertainty in the oil & gas market.

At the end of September 2016, our backlog for the remainder of 2016 totaled approximately EUR 680 million, but due to current market conditions we expect some of these deliveries to be postponed into 2017. Internal efficiency actions will continue to improve competitiveness and they will result in negative net adjustment items of approximately EUR 30 million in 2016. Capital expenditure excluding acquisitions is expected to be lower than in 2015. Net financial costs are expected to be on the same level as in 2015.

Basis of preparation

This Interim Review has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The same accounting policies have been applied in the Annual Financial Statements. This Interim review is unaudited.

Metso has adopted the ESMA European Securities and Markets Authority guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures which were effective from July 3, 2016. Metso uses alternative performance measures to reflect the underlying business performance and to improve comparability between financial periods. These alternative performance measures should, however, not be considered as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with the IFRS. Metso replaced the previously referenced "before non-recurring items" with "adjusted items". Adjusted items affecting comparability and alternative performance measures used by Metso are defined in the tables section of this interim report.

Acquisitions and disposals of businesses

Metso made no business acquisitions during 2016 or 2015.

On April 13, 2015, Metso completed the sale of its Tampere foundry in Finland to a Finnish company TEVO Oy. The divestment was treated as sale of fixed assets and it had no significant effect on Metso's result.

On April 1, 2015 Metso closed the disposal of Process Automation Systems (PAS) business. The PAS business included process automation solutions for the pulp, paper and power industries, covering automation and quality control systems, analyzers and measurements and related services and was reported in Metso's Flow Control segment.

The final cash consideration was EUR 312 million. The net assets of the entity disposed were EUR 55 million, direct transaction costs were EUR 6 million and related cumulative translation adjustments were EUR 1 million positive, whereby Metso booked a gain of EUR 252 million on the transaction.

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

  • Level 1 Quoted unadjusted prices at the balance sheet date in active markets. The market prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, market information service system, pricing service or regulatory agency. The quoted market price used for financial assets is the current bid price. Level 1 financial instruments include debt and equity investments classified as financial instruments available-forsale or at fair value through profit and loss.
  • Level 2 The fair value of financial instruments in Level 2 is determined using valuation techniques. These techniques utilize observable market data readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, market information service system, pricing service or regulatory agency. Level 2 financial instruments include:
  • Over-the-counter derivatives classified as financial assets/liabilities at fair value through profit and loss or qualified for hedge accounting.
  • Debt securities classified as financial instruments available-for-sale or at fair value through profit and loss.
  • Fixed rate debt under fair value hedge accounting.
  • Level 3 A financial instrument is categorized into Level 3, if the calculation of the fair value cannot be based on observable market data. Metso had no such instruments.

The table below present Metso's financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. There has been no transfers between fair value levels during 2015 or 2016.
