Summary of outlook

  • Fortum continues to expect the annual electricity demand growth in the Nordic countries to be on average 0.5% in the coming years
  • Capital expenditure guidance: EUR 0.9-1.1 billion in 2014, excluding potential acquisitions
  • Power and Technology Segment's Nordic generation hedges: for the rest of the calendar year 2014, approx. 55% hedged at EUR 45 per MWh; and for the 2015 calendar year, approx. 30% hedged at EUR 41 per MWh
  • The EUR 500 million run-rate level in operating profit (EBIT) target, to be reached during 2015, in the Russia Segment corresponded to RUB 18.2 billion at 2008 prevailing euro-rouble exchange rates. Fortum is keeping its rouble-denominated target intact. The euro-denominated result level will be volatile mainly due to the translation effect, and currently, the unfavourable exchange balance converts into a lower profit level in euros.

Fortum's President and CEO Tapio Kuula

"Electricity spot prices continued to be under pressure. However, even though the wholesale market prices for electricity have decreased, various taxes, fees and subsidies are increasing endconsumers' energy costs. Reducing CO2 emissions should drive the EU's 2030 climate and energy policy as it would also promote renewables and energy efficiency at the lowest cost to consumers and industry. Furthermore, a common EU-wide, competitive and strongly networked internal energy market, where also renewable energy is developed on market basis, would not just improve competitiveness and mitigate environmental impacts, but improve the EU's internal energy availability and security of supply as well.

The Finnish Government decided in June that it will not, after all, introduce a power plant tax (windfall tax) on nuclear, hydro and wind power built before 2004. The Government's decision is very welcome and the final decision to revoke the tax is expected from the Parliament in fall 2014. Going forward, predictability of the operating and regulatory environment for the capital intensive energy sector continues to be vital.

During the second quarter of 2014, electricity demand was flattish both in the Nordic countries and in Fortum's operating areas in Russia.

Fortum's achieved power price decreased. Nuclear volumes were also lower mainly due to the difference in timing and length of maintenance breaks in Fortum's partly owned plants. Higher hydro production volumes contributed positively and partly offset the negative effects mentioned above. In addition, both heat and distribution volumes were lower, which contributed negatively to the total results. In Russia, better electricity and heat spreads, improved bad debt collections and increased efficiency had a positive effect on the result. Cash flow from operating activities continued strong.

At the time of the acquisition of the Russian subsidiary OAO Fortum in 2008, the EUR 500 million run-rate level in operating profit (EBIT) target set to be reached during 2015 in the Russia Segment corresponded to RUB 18.2 billion at the then prevailing euro-rouble exchange rates. As earlier communicated, the segment's profits are mainly impacted by changes in currency exchange rates as well as power demand, gas price and other regulatory development. Fortum is keeping its roubledenominated target intact, but mainly due to the translation effect, the euro-denominated result level will be volatile. Currently, the unfavourable exchange balance converts into a lower profit level in euros. However, the company is making every effort to mitigate the negative impacts.

In line with the conclusions of the assessment of the electricity distribution business in 2013 and what was announced during the first quarter, the sale of the Norwegian electricity distribution business was finalised during the second quarter of 2014. The work on evaluating the possible future divestment of our Swedish electricity distribution business continues according to plan.

Going forward, our strategic focus is on low-carbon power generation, energy-efficient combined heat and power (CHP) production and sales as well as innovative customer offerings. We strive for efficiency throughout our businesses by optimising the current portfolio as well as by managing costs and working capital."

Efficiency programme 2013-2014

Fortum started an efficiency programme in 2012 in order to maintain and strengthen its strategic flexibility and competitiveness and to enable the company to reach its financial targets in the future.

The aim is to improve the company's cash flow by more than approximately EUR 1 billion during 2013–2014 by reducing capital expenditures (capex) by EUR 250–350 million, divesting approximately EUR 500 million of non-core assets, reducing fixed costs and focusing on working capital efficiency.

At the end of 2014, the cost run-rate is targeted to be approximately EUR 150 million lower compared to 2012, including growth projects.

If headcount reductions are needed, Fortum seeks to limit redundancies whenever possible. The assessments will therefore be done at a unit level.

At the end of June, Fortum had divested non-core assets of approximately EUR 400 million since the start of the efficiency programme. At the end of 2013, the company had been able to decrease its cost run-rate by approximately half of the targeted EUR 150 million and working capital efficiency had been improved. The programme is proceeding according to plan and will be finalized by the end of 2014.

Assessment of the electricity distribution business

In March, Fortum completed the divestment of its Finnish electricity distribution business to Suomi Power Networks Oy, owned by a consortium of Finnish and international investors. In June 2014, Fortum finalised its sale of the Norwegian electricity distribution business. The sales gains were booked in Fortum's Distribution Segment in the first and second quarter of 2014 (Note 6) respectively.

Fortum is currently evaluating possibilities to divest its distribution business in Sweden. The outcome is dependent on the market development and development of national regulation.

The decision to divest Fortum's electricity distribution business in Finland and Norway is linked to last year's strategic assessment of the company's future alternatives for its electricity distribution business. Fortum originally announced the completion of the assessment and the sale of the Finnish business in December 2013. The sale of the Norwegian business was announced in April 2014.

Restatement related to IFRS changes and the new reporting structure

As of 1 January 2014, Fortum has applied the new IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and 11 Joint Arrangements standards. The major effect of this reassessment relates to Fortum Värme, operating in the capital area in Sweden, which is treated as a joint venture and thus consolidated with the equity method (Note 2). Comparative information for 2013 presented in this interim report has been restated accordingly.

The segment information for 2013 has been restated due to the change in the organisation from 1 March 2014.

As of 2014, presented figures have been rounded and consequently the sum of individual figures may deviate from the sum presented.

Operating profit by segment

January−June

In January-June 2014, Group sales were EUR 2,489 (2,858) million. Comparable operating profit totalled EUR 732 (813) million and the reported operating profit totalled EUR 2,629 (905) million. Fortum's operating profit for the period was affected by non-recurring items. The sale of the Finnish electricity distribution business, the Norwegian electricity distribution and heat businesses as well as an IFRS accounting treatment (IAS 39) of derivatives mainly used for hedging Fortum's power production and nuclear fund adjustments amounting to EUR 1,897 (93) million (Note 4).

The share of profit from associates in January-June was EUR 109 (112) million, of which Fortum Värme represents EUR 48 (51) million. The share of profit from Hafslund and TGC-1 are based on the companies' published first quarter 2014 interim reports (Note 12).

The Group's net financial expenses were EUR 113 (140) million. Net financial expenses include changes in the fair value of financial instruments of EUR 0 (-6) million.

Profit before taxes was EUR 2,626 (878) million.

Taxes for the period totalled EUR 124 (160) million. The tax rate according to the income statement was 4.7 % (18.2 %). In Finland, the corporate tax rate was decreased from 24.5% to 20.0% starting 1 January 2014. The tax rate, excluding the impact of the share of profit from associated companies and joint ventures as well as non-taxable capital gains, was 20.6% (21.0%).

The earnings per share impact from the sale of the Finnish electricity distribution business was EUR 2.08 per share (Note 6).

Financial position and cash flow

Cash flow

In January-June 2014, total net cash from operating activities increased by EUR 273 million to EUR 1,022 (749) million, mainly due to realised foreign exchange differences turning to positive effect being EUR 293 million, which were partly offset with a lower EBITDA. Realised foreign exchange gains and losses of EUR 155 (-138) million were related to the rollover of foreign exchange contract hedging loans to Fortum's Swedish and Russian subsidiaries. Capital expenditures decreased by EUR 81 million to EUR 330 (411) million. Proceeds from divestments of shares totalled EUR 2,817 (37) million mainly from the divestment of the Finnish distribution business as well as the Norwegian electricity distribution and heat businesses. Total net cash used in investing activities was positive EUR 2,706 (-248) million. Cash flow before financing activities, i.e. financing, increased by EUR 3,226 million to EUR 3,727 (501) million.

The proceeds were partially used to pay dividends totalling EUR 977 million in April as well as payments of interest-bearing debt amounting to EUR 1,856 million. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period were EUR 2,157 (1,265) million.

Assets and capital employed

Total assets decreased by EUR 1,318 million to EUR 22,030 (23,348 at year-end 2013) million which includes the decrease of non-current assets, EUR 787 million. Intangible assets, property, plant and equipment as well as on participation in associates and joint ventures were decreased by translation differences EUR 360 million and divestments, EUR 292 million.

Assets of distribution Finland, amounting to EUR 1,173 million were presented as Assets held for sale at the end of 2013. Cash and cash equivalents increased by EUR 907 million.

Capital employed was EUR 18,675 (19,183 at year-end 2013) million, a decrease of EUR 508 million.

Equity

Total equity was EUR 11,509 (10,124 at year-end 2013) million, of which equity attributable to owners of the parent company totalled EUR 11,424 (10,024) million and non-controlling interests EUR 85 (101) million.

The increase in equity attributable to owners of the parent company totalled EUR 1,400 million and was mainly from the net profit of EUR 2,498 million for the period offset by translation differences of EUR -117 million and paid dividends of EUR 977 million.

Financing

Net debt decreased during January-June 2014 by EUR 2,785million to EUR 5,008 (7,793 at yearend 2013) million.

At the end of June 2014, the Group's liquid funds totalled EUR 2,157 (1,265 at year-end 2013) million. Liquid funds include cash and bank deposits held by OAO Fortum amounting to EUR 378 (113 at year-end 2013) million. In addition to the liquid funds, Fortum had access to approximately EUR 2.2 billion of undrawn committed credit facilities.

The Group's net financial expenses during January-June 2014 were EUR 113 (140) million. Net financial expenses include changes in the fair value of financial instruments of EUR 0 (-6) million.

Fortum Corporation's long-term credit rating with both S&P and Fitch has remainted unchanged and is A- (negative outlook).

Key figures

For the last twelve months, net debt to EBITDA was 1.3 (3.7 at year-end 2013) and comparable net debt to EBITDA 2.6 (3.9 at year-end 2013). Fortum is currently financing Fortum Värme, and these loans EUR 873 (1,135 at year-end 2013) million are presented as interest-bearing loan receivables in Fortum's balance sheet. However, the aim is to refinance the loans during 2014-2015. If these loans are deducted from the net debt, the last-twelve-months comparable net debt to EBITDA is 2.2 (3.4 at the year-end 2013).

Gearing was 44% (77%) and the equity-to-assets ratio 52% (43%). Equity per share was EUR 12.86 (11.28). For the last twelve months, return on capital employed totalled 18.4% (9.0% at year-end 2013) and return on shareholders' equity 28.2% (12.0% at year-end 2013). Both return on capital employed and return on equity were positively affected with the capital gain from the sale of the

Finnish electricity distribution business as well as the sale of the Norwegian electricity distribution and heat businesses.

Market conditions

Nordic countries

According to preliminary statistics, electricity consumption in the Nordic countries during the second quarter of 2014 was 85 (87) terawatt-hours (TWh). In January–June 2014, electricity consumption in the Nordic countries was 196 (203) TWh. Where as industrial consumption realised nearly unchanged, other consumption came out lower due to mild weather.

At the beginning of the year, the Nordic water reservoirs were at 82 TWh, i.e. 1 TWh lower than the long-term average and 3 TWh lower than a year earlier. By the end of the first quarter, the reservoirs were 4 TWh higher than the long-term average and 10 TWh higher than the year before. The second quarter ended with reservoirs at 83 TWh, which is 1 TWh below the long-term average and 1 TWh above the corresponding level in 2013. Precipitation during the second quarter was below both the long-term average and the level the year before.

In the second quarter of 2014, the average system spot price of electricity in Nord Pool was EUR 25.7 (38.7) per megawatt-hour (MWh). The price declined as both water reservoirs and hydro production were above previous year's level. In addition, downgoing variable cost of coal-fired power generation depressed the price.

The average area price in Finland was EUR 34.6 (39.9) per MWh and in Sweden SE3 (Stockholm) 31.6 (38.3) per MWh. Since introducing the 650-MW Estlink-2 connection with Estonia in late 2013, especially Finland has more frequently been impacted by the higher price level in the southern Baltics, dominated by thermal production.

During January–June 2014, the average system spot price was EUR 27.9 (40.4) per MWh. In Finland, the average area price was EUR 34.9 (41.0) per MWh and in Sweden SE3 (Stockholm) EUR 30.8 (40.1) per MWh.

In Germany, the average spot price during the second quarter of 2014 was EUR 31.2 (32.6) per MWh and during January–June 2014 EUR 32.4 (37.4) per MWh.

The market price of CO2 emission allowances (EUA) was at approximately EUR 4.8 per tonne at the beginning of the year and had climbed to EUR 5.9 per tonne by the end of June. During January– June 2014, EUA's traded between EUR 4.4 and EUR 7.2 per tonne.

Russia

Fortum operates in the Urals and Western Siberia. In the Tyumen and Khanty-Mansiysk area, where industrial production is dominated by the oil and gas industries, and in the Chelyabinsk area, which is dominated by the metal industry.

According to preliminary statistics, Russia consumed 230 (230) TWh of electricity during the second quarter of 2014. The corresponding figure in Fortum's operating area in the First price zone (European and Urals part of Russia) was 176 (175) TWh. In January-June 2014, Russia consumed 513 (518) TWh of electricity. The corresponding figure in Fortum's operating area in the First price zone (European and Urals part of Russia) was 387 (389) TWh.

In the second quarter of 2014, the average electricity spot price, excluding capacity price, increased by 15% to RUB (Russian rouble) 1,203 (1,043) per MWh in the First price zone. In January-June 2014, the average electricity spot price, excluding capacity price, increased by 13% to RUB 1,156 (1,020) per MWh in the First price zone.

More detailed information about the market fundamentals is included in the tables at the end of the report (page 55).

European business environment and carbon market

EU institutional changes

The European Parliamentary election for the next five-year mandate was held on 25–26 May. The new Parliament, with 751 members, is expected to have somewhat lower ambition in terms of deepening the European integration.

State aid guideline

A new EU energy and environment state aid guideline came into force on 1 July 2014. The guideline will take energy support systems in a more market-driven direction.

Energy security

Following the escalating political crises in Ukraine, energy security became a major topic for the EU. Based on the request by the European Council in March, the EU Commission published a European energy security strategy in May. The strategy contains few new elements, but underlines the already agreed decisions and especially the Commission's proposal for the 2030 energy and climate framework. This is a good base towards improving the EU's energy market and enforcing a common European energy policy. The Commission is preliminarily looking for an EU-level energy efficiency target that could be adopted in connection with the 2030 energy and climate framework in October this year.

2030 Framework and ETS

The discussion on the EU 2030 energy and climate framework seems to be developing away from a single target for greenhouse gas reduction towards multiple targets. Several Member States insist on adopting three binding targets: CO2, renewables and energy efficiency.

The Council has had a preliminary exchange of views on the market stability reserve (MSR) for the ETS, which would introduce supply elasticity into the system. An early establishment of the mechanism, as promoted by Fortum, is gaining wider support. The Italian Presidency's work programme includes a particular focus on the MSR and Italy is expected to bring the issue forward after the 2030 Framework and Target discussions in the European Council in October.

Swedish hydro investigation

The Water Operations Investigation presented a final proposal in June on the reappraisal of hydro permits in Sweden. The proposal would mean that a vast majority of power plants and dams would be subject to full environmental processes in order to gain new permits. The proposal is now out for public consultation until 31 October 2014.

New Government in Finland

The new Prime Minister Alexander Stubb's Government took the office in Finland at the end of June 2014. The Government adheres to earlier agreements and puts emphasis on economic growth. The Government committed to avoid decisions that would lead to higher costs or regulatory burden for the industry. More specifically, the Government decided not to enforce the already adopted power plant tax (previously called windfall tax). In the autumn of 2014, the Government is expected to prepare a new law repealing the already adopted tax. This very positive development improves the predictability and consistency of the operational framework for all power companies in Finland.

April–June

In the second quarter of 2014, Power and Technology's comparable operating profit was EUR 183 (210) million, i.e. EUR 27 million lower than in the corresponding period in 2013. The decline is mainly due to the lower achieved power price caused by lower spot prices as well as the timing and lenght of the partly-owned nuclear power plants' annual maintenance outages. The negative impacts were partly offset by higher hydro volumes.

Operating profit, EUR 151 (338) million, was affected by sales gains totalling EUR 5 (0) million and by the IFRS accounting treatment (IAS 39) of derivatives mainly used for hedging Fortum's power production, and by nuclear fund adjustments amounting to EUR -37 (128) million (Note 4).

Power and Technology's achieved Nordic power price was EUR 40.2 (44.7) per MWh, or EUR 4.5 per MWh lower than in the corresponding period in 2013. The system and all area prices were clearly lower during the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The average system spot price of electricity in Nord Pool was EUR 25.7 (38.7) per MWh. The average area price in Finland was EUR 34.6 (39.9) per MWh and in Sweden SE3 (Stockholm) EUR 31.6 (38.3) per MWh.

Nuclear availability in the second quarter was at a high level in all operating reactors, except in Oskarshamn 2 which has been shut down since 1 June 2013 for an extensive safety modernisation.

In the second quarter of 2014, the segment's total power generation in the Nordic countries was 10.9 (10.9) TWh. The CO2-free production amounted to 97% (93%).

January–June

In January-June 2014, Power and Technology's comparable operating profit was EUR 434 (513) million, i.e. EUR 79 million lower than in the corresponding period in 2013. This is mainly due to the lower achieved power price caused by lower spot prices. The price impact was partly offset by higher hydro power production volumes.

Operating profit, EUR 413 (600) million, was affected by sales gains totalling EUR 6 (5) million and by the IFRS accounting treatment (IAS 39) of derivatives mainly used for hedging Fortum's power production, and by nuclear fund adjustments amounting to EUR -27 (83) million (Note 4).

Power and Technology's achieved Nordic power price was EUR 39.9 (45.2) per MWh, or EUR 5.3 per MWh lower than in the corresponding period in 2013. The system and all area prices were clearly lower during January-June 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The average system spot price of electricity in Nord Pool was EUR 27.9 (40.4) per MWh. The average area price in Finland was EUR 34.9 (41.0) per MWh and in Sweden SE3, (Stockholm) EUR 30.8 (40.1) per MWh.

In January-June 2014, the segment's total power generation in the Nordic countries was 24.1 (24.1) TWh. Due to normalised hydro inflow and reservoir levels, hydropower production was 2.0 TWh higher during January-June 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Thermal production was 0.2 (1.2) TWh in Nordic countries. The CO2-free production amounted to 97% (93%).

Nuclear availability was at a high level in all operating reactors, except in Oskarshamn 2 which has been shut down since 1 June 2013 for an extensive safety modernisation that is currently expected to that may be completed in the summer of 2015.

As of 2014, the former Heat Division and Electricity Sales and Solutions business area are reported as one segment (Note 4). In addition, Fortum Värme, which earlier was consolidated as a subsidiary under the Heat Division, is treated as a joint venture and thus consolidated with the equity method. The effect of Fortum Värme is hence included in the share of profits in associates and joint ventures. In January-June, this represented EUR 48 (51) million (Note 2).

April–June

Heat sales volumes of Heat, Electricity Sales and Solutions amounted to 1.3 (1.8) TWh during the second quarter of 2014. During the same period, power sales volumes from CHP production totalled 0.6 (0.7) TWh. Despite the new capacity, heat and power sales volumes were lower mainly due to the divestments made in 2013 in Finland.

Comparable operating profit in the second quarter was EUR 11 (13.0) million.

The operating profit in the second quarter totalled EUR 67 (24) million and was affected by sales gains totalling EUR 53 (0) million (Note 4).

January–June

Heat sales volumes of Heat, Electricity Sales and Solutions amounted to 4.6 (6.2) TWh during January-June 2014. During the same period, power sales volumes from CHP production totalled 1.6 (1.9) TWh. Despite the new capacity, heat and power sales volumes were lower mainly due to the warmer than average weather during the first quarter of 2014 and the divestments made in 2013 in Finland. The warm weather also burdened retail sales, especially during the first quarter of 2014.

Comparable operating profit in January-June was EUR 59 (70) million. The result decreased mainly due to the lower volumes and lower power prices.

The operating profit in the first quarter totalled EUR 112 (75) million and was affected by sales gains totalling EUR 54 (0) million (Note 4).

At the end of June 2014, Fortum's customer base in Electricity Sales was approximately 1.3 million.

The liberalisation of the Russian wholesale power market has been completed since the beginning of 2011. However, all generating companies continue to sell a part of their electricity and capacity – an amount equalling the consumption of households and a few special groups of consumers – under regulated prices. During January-June 2014, Fortum sold approximately 81% of its power production in Russia at a liberalised electricity price.

The capacity selection for generation built prior to 2008 (CCS – "old capacity") for 2014 was held in September 2013. All of Fortum's capacity was allowed to participate in the selection for 2014 and the majority of Fortum's power plants were also selected. The volume of Fortum's installed capacity not selected in the auction totalled 132 MW, which represents 4.6% of Fortum's total old capacity in Russia.

The generation capacity built after 2007 under the Government capacity supply agreements (CSA – "new capacity") receives guaranteed payments for a period of 10 years. The period and the prices for capacity under CSA were defined to ensure a sufficient return on investments. At the time of the acquisition in 2008, Fortum made a provision, as penalty clauses are included in the CSA agreement in case of possible delays. If the new capacity is delayed or if the agreed major terms of the capacity supply agreement are not otherwise fulfilled, possible penalties can be claimed. The effect of changes in the timing of commissioning of new units is assessed at each balance sheet date and the provision is changed accordingly (Note 16).

Received capacity payments differ depending on the age, location, type and size of the plant as well as seasonality and availability. The CSA payments can also vary somewhat annually because they are linked to the Russian Government long-term bonds with 8 to 10 years maturity. In addition, the regulator will review the guaranteed CSA payments by re-examining earnings from the electricityonly market three and six years after the commissioning of a unit and may revise the CSA payments accordingly.

April–June

The Russia Segment's power sales volumes amounted to 5.8 (6.4) TWh during the second quarter of 2014. Heat sales totaled 4.5 (4.1) TWh during the same period.

The Russia Segment's comparable operating profit was EUR 28 (20) million in the second quarter of 2014. The positive effect from the new units, receiving CSA payments, amounted to approximately EUR 37 (34) million, including EUR -5 million due to the weak rouble and a reversal of the CSA provisions totalling EUR 4 (10) million. In addition, better electricity spreads due to gas prices indexation in the second half 2013, heat spreads and increased efficiency had a positive effect on the result. Overall, the weakened Russian rouble affected the result negatively by approximately EUR -3 million.

Operating profit was EUR 28 (20) million in the second quarter of 2014.

January–June

The Russia Segment's power sales volumes amounted to 12.9 (13.8) TWh January-June 2014. Heat sales totalled 14.2 (13.8) TWh during the same period.

The Russia Segment's comparable operating profit was EUR 102 (61) million in January-June 2014. The positive effect from the new units, receiving CSA payments, amounted to approximately EUR 86 (63) million, including EUR -15 million due to the weak rouble and a reversal of the CSA provisions totalling EUR 4 (10) million. In addition, better electricity and heat spreads, improved bad debt collections and increased efficiency positively affected the result. Overall, the weakened Russian rouble affected the result negatively by approximately EUR -17 million.

Operating profit was EUR 101 (61) million in January-June 2014.

April–June

The volume of distribution and regional network transmissions during the second quarter of 2014 totalled 3.3 (5.6) TWh and 3.0 (3.8) TWh, respectively. Volumes in Sweden were in line with last year. The lower volume in total, compared to the same period in 2013, was due to the divestment of the Finnish electricity business in the first quarter and the Norwegian distribution business in the second quarter of 2014.

The Distribution Segment's comparable operating profit was EUR 45 (60) million.

Operating profit in the second quarter of 2014 totalled EUR 63 (61) million and was affected by sales gains totalling EUR 16 (0) million from the Norwegian electricity distribution business (Note 6).

January–June

The volume of distribution and regional network transmissions during January-June 2014 totalled 11.0 (14.2) TWh and 7.5 (8.6) TWh, respectively. Volumes were lower due to warmer weather, especially during the first quarter of 2014. The lower total volume was mainly due to the divestment of the Finnish and Norwegian distribution businesses.

The Distribution Segment's comparable operating profit was EUR 164 (197) million. The decrease was mainly due to the very mild weather during the first quarter and, and the divestment of the electricity distribution in Finland that was finalised at the end of March.

Operating profit in January-June 2014 totalled EUR 2,030 (197) million and was affected by sales gains totalling approximately EUR 1.865 billion from the Finnish and Norwegian electricity distribution businesses (Note 6).

In line with the conclusions of the completed assessment of the electricity distribution business in 2013, the sale of the Finnish electricity distribution business was finalised in March 2014. Furthermore, the Norwegian sale was finalised during the second quarter. Currently, Fortum is evaluating the possible future divestment of the Swedish electricity distribution business.

Power and Technology

Through its interest in Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO), Fortum is participating in the building of Olkiluoto 3 (OL3), a 1,600-MW nuclear power plant unit in Finland. (Note 13)

In March 2014, Fortum started an extensive refurbishment of two of the Imatra hydropower plant's seven units. The refurbishment will increase the capacity of the power plant by 14 MW's to 192 MW's and will improve safety and reliability. After the refurbishment, the Imatra plant will be Finland's largest hydropower plant in terms of capacity and production.

In May 2014, Fortum and the Areva-Siemens Consortium agreed on the discontinuation of the current automation modernisation project agreement at the Loviisa nuclear power plant in Finland. The Areva-Siemens Consortium will complete the ongoing agreed and resized work in cooperation with Fortum. Furthermore, Fortum signed an agreement with Rolls-Royce about the continued modernisation of automation of the power plant. The modernisation will be carried out over several years.

Heat, Electricity Sales and Solutions

Through Fortum's interests in Fortum Värme, Fortum's joint venture with the City of Stockholm, the company is investing in a new biofuelled combined heat and power (CHP) plant in Värtan, Stockholm. The new CHP plant will replace some existing heat production and is planned to be commissioned in 2016. The new plant will have a production capacity of 280 MW heat and 130 MW electricity.

In addition, Fortum is participating in its joint venture Turun Seudun Energiantuotanto Oy's (TSE) new combined heat and power (CHP) plant in Naantali, Finland replacing the old existing plant. The plan is to commission the new power plant in 2017. The plant's production capacity will be 142 MW electricity and 244 MW heat.

In June, Fortum completed the divestment of its Norwegian heat business to the iCON Infrastructure Partners II, L.P. fund (Note 6).

Distribution

In March 2014, Fortum completed the divestment of its Finnish electricity distribution business to Suomi Power Networks Oy, owned by a consortium of Finnish and international investors. The total consideration was EUR 2.55 billion on a debt- and cash-free basis. Fortum's one-time sales gain of approximately EUR 1.85 billion corresponds to EUR 2.08 per share. The sales gain is booked in Fortum's Distribution Segment in the first quarter of 2014 (Note 6).

In May, Fortum completed the divestment of its Norwegian electricity distribution business to the Hafslund Group, listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange (Note 6).

Shares and share capital

Fortum Corporation is listed on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. During January-June 2014, a total of 254.2 (298.4) million Fortum Corporation shares, totalling EUR 4,328 million, were traded. The highest quotation of Fortum Corporation shares during the reporting period was EUR 20.32, the lowest EUR 15.13, and the volume-weighted average EUR 17.02. The closing quotation on the last trading day of the quarter, 30 June 2014, was EUR 19.61 (14.40). Fortum's market capitalisation, calculated using the closing quotation of the last trading day of the review period, was approximately EUR 17,421 million.

In addition to the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd., Fortum shares were traded on several alternative market places, for example Boat, BATS Chi-X and Turquoise, and on the OTC market. In the first half of 2014, approximately 58% of Fortum's shares were traded on markets other than the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd.

On 30 June 2014, Fortum Corporation's share capital was EUR 3,046,185,953 and the total number of registered shares was 888,367,045. Fortum Corporation did not own its own shares. The number of registered shareholders was 121,220. The Finnish State's holding in Fortum was 50.8%, and the proportion of nominee registrations and direct foreign shareholders was 29.9% at the end of the review period.

Fortum Corporation received on 5 April 2014 notification under Chapter 2 Section 9 of the Securities Markets Act that Capital Group Companies Inc's ("CGC") holding in Fortum was above the threshold of 5 per cent on 3 April 2014.

The Board of Directors has no unused authorisations from the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to issue convertible loans or bonds with warrants or to issue new shares.

Group personnel

Fortum's operations are mainly based in the Nordic countries, Russia and the Baltic Rim area. The total number of employees at the end of June was 8,846 (9,186 at the end of 2013).

At the end of June 2014, Power and Technology had 1,791 (1,723) employees; Heat, Electricity Sales and Solutions 1,947 (1,968); Russia 4,189 (4,162); Distribution 384 (805); and Other 535 (528).

Headcount reductions were mainly due to the sale of the Finnish and Norwegian distribution business and Fortum's efficiency programme. Reductions related to the efficiency programme have been implemented on a unit level by using natural rotation, rearrangement of vacancies and by retirement. Vacant jobs have primarily been filled internally. The possibilities for internal rotation have been improved. By rotating staff between different countries and divisions, the company improves know-how and develops the exchange of competencies throughout the organisation.

Research and development

Sustainability is at the core of Fortum's strategy, and Fortum's research and development (R&D) activities promote environmentally-benign energy solutions. Investments in the development of renewable energy production, like solar power, are an important part of Fortum's strategy implementation.

In January-June 2014, Fortum signed a leasing agreement with the UK-based Wave Hub. The agreement provides Fortum with a opportunity to study advanced, full-scale wave power converters in ocean conditions. In addition, Fortum, UPM and Valmet joined forces to develop a new technology to produce advanced high-value lignocellulosic fuels, such as transportation fuels or higher value bio liquids in order to develop catalytic pyrolysis technology for upgrading bio-oil and to commercialise the new technology.

The Group reports its R&D expenditure on a yearly basis. In 2013, Fortum's R&D expenditure was EUR 49 (41) million or 0.8% (0.7%) of sales.

Sustainability

Fortum strives for balanced management of economic, social and environmental responsibility in the company's operations. Fortum's sustainability targets consist of Group-level key indicators and segment level indicators.

The Group-level sustainability targets emphasise Fortum's role in society and measure not only environmental and safety targets, but also Fortum's reputation, customer satisfaction, and the security of supply of power and heat.

The achievements of the sustainability targets are monitored through monthly, quarterly and annual reporting. Sustainability target-setting and follow-up as well as the approval of Fortum's Sustainability policy and the review of Fortum's Sustainability Report are included in the working order of the Board of Directors.

The company is listed on STOXX Global ESG Leaders, the NASDAQ OMX, OMX GES Sustainability Finland and ECPI® indices. Fortum is also included in the Carbon Disclosure Project's Nordic Climate Index and has received Prime Status (B-) rating by the German oekom research AG.

Economic responsibility

In the area of economic responsibility, the focus is on competitiveness, performance excellence and market-driven production. The aim is to create long-term economic value and enable profitable growth and added value for shareholders, customers, employees, suppliers, and other key stakeholders in the company's operating areas. Fortum's goal is to achieve excellent financial performance in strategically selected core areas through strong competence and responsible ways of operating. The key figures by which Fortum measures its financial success include return on capital employed (target: 12%), return on shareholders' equity (target: 14%) and capital structure (target: net debt/EBITDA around 3). In addition, Fortum uses the applicable Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3.1 indicators for reporting economic responsibility.

Environmental responsibility

Fortum's environmental responsibility emphasises mitigation of climate change, efficient use of resources as well as management of the impacts of our energy production, distribution and supply chain. Our know-how in CO2-free hydro and nuclear power production and in energy-efficient CHP production is highlighted in environmental responsibility. Fortum's Group-level environmental targets are related to CO2 emissions, energy efficiency as well as major environment, health and safety (EHS) incidents. At the end of June 2014, ISO 14001 certification covered 100% of Fortum's power and heat production and distribution operations worldwide.

Fortum's climate targets over the next five years are: specific CO2 emissions from power generation in the EU below 80 grams per kilowatt-hour (g/kWh) and total specific CO2 emissions from both electricity and heat production in all countries below 200 g/kWh. Both targets are calculated as a five-year average. At the end of June 2014, the five-year average for specific CO2 emissions from power generation in the EU was at 59 (58) g/kWh and the total specific CO2 emissions from energy production was at 197 (191) g/kWh, both better than the target level.

Fortum's total CO2 emissions in January-June 2014 amounted to 10.1 (10.9) million tonnes (Mt), of which 1.7 (3.1) Mt were within the EU's emissions trading scheme (ETS). Since 2013, electricity

production does not receive free allowances in the EU ETS. The amount of free allowances for heat will gradually decrease during 2013-2020 as well. Fortum's free allowances in 2014 total 1.4 Mt.

Fortum's energy efficiency target is to raise the overall efficiency of fuel use to 70% as a five-year average. In January-June 2014, the overall efficiency of fuel use was 65% (60%) and the five-year average after June 2014 was 64% (66%), meaning the target level was not met.

Fortum's target is for fewer than 35 major EHS incidents annually. In January-June 2014, a total of 12 (16) major EHS incidents took place in Fortum's operations. This includes 5 environmental permit non-compliances, 3 explosions, 2 leaks into the environment, one fire and one International Nuclear Event Scale1 incident (INES). These incidents did not have significant environmental or financial impacts, but the explosion in the Pyrolysis unit in Joensuu has caused a prolonged shut down of the pyrolysis process.

Social responsibility

In the area of social responsibility, Fortum's innovations and the secure supply of low-carbon power and heat support the development of society and increase well-being. Good corporate citizenship, reliable energy supply and ensuring a safe working environment for all employees and contractors at Fortum sites are emphasised. At the end of June 2014, OHSAS 18001 certification covered 74% of Fortum's power and heat production and distribution operations worldwide.

In January-June 2014, the average energy availability of Fortum's CHP plants was 97%, which is above the annual target level of 95%. In electricity distribution in Sweden, the cumulative SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index) was 33 (33) minutes, while the annual target is less than 100 minutes.

In January-June 2014, the lost-workday injury frequency (LWIF) for Fortum employees was 1.0 (0.9). This complies with the Group-level frequency target of less than one per million working hours for own personnel. In contrast to Fortum's own employees, contractor safety has not developed as desired. The lost-workday injury frequency for contractors has improved and is 3.1 (3.8). Unfortunately, there has been two fatal accidents for contractors this year in Fortum's operations in Sweden. Implementation of agreed actions to improve contractor safety continues. Fortum's categorical target is to avoid serious injuries.

Fortum wants to conduct business with viable companies that act responsibly and comply with the Fortum Code of Conduct and the Fortum Supplier Code of Conduct. In January-June 2014, Fortum audited altogether 11 suppliers located in Brazil, China, Czech Republic, Russia and Sweden. The emphasis in the audits was on contractors and biofuel suppliers.

Changes in Fortum's Management

Fortum renewed its business structure as of 1 March 2014. The target of the reorganisation is to strengthen Fortum's capability to execute the company's strategy in the fast developing operating environment.

Matti Ruotsala was appointed Chief Operating Officer (COO) and is acting as deputy to the CEO. Fortum's CFO is Timo Karttinen. New Executive Management members are Tiina Tuomela, who was appointed Executive Vice President (EVP), Nuclear and Thermal Power; Kari Kautinen, Senior Vice President (SVP), Strategy, Mergers and Acquisitions; and Esa Hyvärinen, Senior Vice President, Corporate Relations.

In the new structure, Fortum has four reporting segments: - Power and Technology (reporting to COO) -Hydro Power and Technology, Per Langer, EVP -Nuclear and Thermal Power, Tiina Tuomela, EVP -Heat, Electricity Sales and Solutions (reporting to COO), Markus Rauramo, EVP -Russia, Alexander Chuvaev, EVP -Distribution, Timo Karttinen, CFO

In April 2014, Fortum announced that the company's General Counsel and Executive Team member Kaarina Ståhlberg left her position as General Counsel and member of Fortum's Executive Management as of 8 April 2014, due to family reasons. She will continue as Legal Advisor in nuclear business-related matters, reporting to COO Matti Ruotsala.

In June 2014, Sirpa-Helena Sormunen, LL.M. (Helsinki University), 54, was appointed General Counsel and member of Fortum Corporation's Executive Management as of 1 September 2014. She will report to President and CEO Tapio Kuula.

Annual General Meeting 2014

Fortum Corporation's Annual General Meeting, which was held in Helsinki on 8 April 2014, adopted the financial statements of the parent company and the Group for the financial period 1 January-31 December 2013 and discharged the members of Fortum's Board of Directors as well as the President and CEO and his deputy from liability for the year 2013.

The Annual General Meeting decided to pay a dividend of EUR 1.10 per share for the financial year that ended 31 December 2013. The record date for the dividend payment was 11 April 2014 and the dividend payment date was 22 April 2014.

The Annual General Meeting confirmed the number of members in the Board of Directors to be eight. Ms Sari Baldauf was re-elected as Chairman, Mr Kim Ignatius was elected as Deputy Chairman, and Ms Minoo Akhtarzand, Mr Heinz-Werner Binzel, Ms Ilona Ervasti-Vaintola, Mr Christian Ramm-Schmidt were re-elected as members, and Mr Petteri Taalas and Mr Jyrki Talvitie were elected as new members.

The Annual General Meeting confirmed the compensation of EUR 75,000 per year to the Chairman, EUR 57,000 per year to the Deputy Chairman and EUR 40,000 per year to each member of the Board, as well as EUR 57,000 per year to the Board member acting as the Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee if he or she is not at the same time acting as Chairman or Deputy Chairman of the Board. In addition, a EUR 600 meeting fee is paid for Board meetings as well as for committee meetings. The meeting fee is doubled for Board members who live outside Finland in Europe and tripled for members living outside Europe.

The Annual General Meeting also resolved to amend the Articles of Association as follows. Firstly, in accordance with the stand of the Ownership Steering of the Finnish State, the age limit of Board member elects is removed from § 6. Secondly, the possibility to deliver the notice to a General Meeting by publishing the notice on the company's website is added to § 12; and thirdly, certain linguistic and technical amendments are made to § 3 and 4, i.a. by removing the par value of shares referred to in the Finnish Companies Act.

In addition, Authorised Public Accountant Deloitte & Touche Ltd was re-elected as auditor, and the auditor's fee is paid pursuant to an invoice approved by the company.

Events after the balance sheet date

In July, Fortum acquired E.ON Ruhrgas International GmbH's shareholding of 33.66% in the Estonian natural gas import, sales and distribution company AS Eesti Gaas and a similar shareholding in the gas transmission service company AS Võrguteenus Valdus. The acquired shares will increase Fortum's holding in both companies to approximately 51.4%.

The transaction is subject to necessary regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. Fortum expects to finalise the transaction during the third quarter of 2014.

Outlook

Key drivers and risks

Fortum's financial results are exposed to a number of economic, strategic, political, financial and operational risks. One of the key factors influencing Fortum's business performance is the wholesale price of electricity in the Nordic region. The key drivers behind the wholesale price development in the Nordic region are the supply-demand balance, fuel and CO2 emissions allowance prices as well as the hydrological situation. The completion of Fortum's investment programme in Russia is also one key driver to the company's result growth, due to the increase in production volumes and CSA payments.

The continued global economic uncertainty and Europe's sovereign-debt crisis has kept the outlook for economic growth unpredictable. The overall economic uncertainty impacts commodity and CO2 emissions allowance prices, and this could maintain downward pressure on the Nordic wholesale price for electricity in the short term. In Fortum's Russian business, the key factors are economic growth, the rouble exchange rate, the regulation around the heat business and further development of electricity and capacity markets. Operational risks related to the investment projects in the current investment programme are still valid. In all regions, fuel prices and power plant availability also impact profitability. In addition, increased volatility in exchange rates due to financial turbulence could have both translation and transaction effects on Fortum's financials, especially through the Swedish krona (SEK) and the Russian rouble (RUB). In the Nordic countries, also the regulatory and fiscal environment for the energy sector has added risks for utility companies.

Nordic market

Despite macroeconomic uncertainty, electricity is expected to continue to gain a higher share of the total energy consumption. Fortum continues to expect the annual growth rate in electricity consumption to be on average 0.5%, while the growth rate for the nearest years will largely be determined by macroeconomic development in Europe and especially in the Nordic countries.

During January-June 2014, the price of oil and European Union emissions allowances (EUA) appreciated, whereas the coal price declined. Price of electricity for the upcoming twelve months ended practically unchanged in the Nordic area whereas in Germany it decreased.

In mid-July 2014, the future quotation for coal (ICE Rotterdam) for the rest of 2014 was around USD 74 per tonne, and the price for CO2 for 2014 was about EUR 6 per tonne. The electricity forward price in Nord Pool for the rest of 2014 was around EUR 33 per MWh. For 2015, the price was around EUR 32 per MWh, and, for 2016, around EUR 31 per MWh. In Germany, the electricity forward price for the rest of 2014 was around EUR 34 per MWh and for 2015 EUR 35 per MWh. Nordic water reservoirs were about 2 TWh below the long-term average and 1 TWh above the corresponding level of 2013.

Power and Technology

The Power and Technology's Nordic power price typically depends on factors such as hedge ratios, hedge prices, spot prices, availability and utilisation of Fortum's flexible production portfolio, and currency fluctuations. Excluding the potential effects from the changes in the power generation mix, a 1 EUR/MWh change in the Power and Technology Segment's Nordic power sales (achieved) price will result in an approximately EUR 45 million change in Fortum's annual comparable operating profit. In addition, the comparable operating profit of the Power and Tehnology Segment will be affected by the possible thermal power generation volumes and its profits.

The ongoing, multi-year Swedish nuclear investment programmes are expected to enhance safety, improve availability and increase the capacity of the current nuclear fleet. The implementation of the investment programmes could, however, affect availability. Fortum's power procurement costs from co-owned nuclear companies are affected by these investment programmes through increased depreciation and finance costs of associated companies.

As a result of the nuclear stress tests in the EU, the Swedish nuclear safety authority (SSM) has decided to propose new regulations for Swedish nuclear reactors. The process is on-going and the final proposal is expected by the end 2014. Fortum emphasis that maintaining a high level of nuclear safety is highest priority, but considers EU level harmonisation of nuclear safety requirements to be of utmost importance.

The process to review the Swedish nuclear waste fees is done in a three-year cycle, and therefore SSM has given a new proposal for the nuclear waste fees. A Government decision is expected by the end of 2014.

Russia

The generation capacity built after 2007 under the Russian Government's Capacity Supply Agreements (CSA – "new capacity") receives guaranteed capacity payments for a period of 10 years. Prices for capacity under CSA are defined in order to ensure a sufficient return on investments. The issue of prolonged CSA payments from 10 to 15 years have been under discussion in the Russian Government; however, no official decisions have yet been made.

Capacity not under CSA competes in the competitive capacity selection (CCS – "old capacity"). The capacity selection for generation built prior to 2008 (CCS – "old capacity") for 2014 was held in September 2013. All of Fortum's capacity was allowed to participate in the selection for 2014 and the majority of Fortum's power plants were also selected. The volume of Fortum's installed capacity not selected in the auction totalled 132 MW, which represents 4.6% of Fortum's total old capacity in Russia.

The Russia Segment's new capacity will be a key driver for earnings growth in Russia as it is expected to bring income from new volumes sold and to also receive considerably higher capacity payments than the old capacity. However, the received capacity payment will differ depending on the age, location, size and type of the plants as well as seasonality and availability. The return on the new capacity is guaranteed, as regulated in the CSA. CSA payments can vary somewhat annually because they are linked to Russian Government long-term bonds with 8 to 10 years maturity. In addition, the regulator will review the earnings from the electricity-only market three years and six years after the commissioning of a unit and may revise the CSA payments accordingly.

The value of the remaining part of the investment programme, calculated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of June 2014, is estimated to be approximately EUR 0.4 billion, as of July 2014.

The Russian result is impacted by seasonal volatility caused by the heat business' characteristics, with the first and last quarter being clearly the strongest.

At the time of the acquisition of the Russian subsidiary OAO Fortum in 2008, the EUR 500 million run-rate level in operating profit (EBIT) target set to be reached during 2015 in the Russia Segment corresponded to approximately RUB 18 billion at the then prevailing euro-rouble exchange rates. As earlier communicated, the segment's profits are mainly impacted by changes in currency exchange rates as well as power demand, gas price- and other regulatory development. Fortum is keeping its rouble-denominated target intact, but mainly due to the translation effect, the euro-denominated result level will be volatile. Currently, the unfavourable exchange balance converts into a lower profit level in euros. However, every effort to mitigate the negative impacts is continuously being made.

In 2013, the Ministry of Energy stated that heat reform should be developed before changing the current electricity and capacity market model. Therefore, at the end of the year, the Ministry of Energy proposed a new heat market model (for public discussion), which is supposed to ensure a transition to economically justified heat tariffs by 2020 and attract investments into the heat sector. The new regulation concept is at an early stage and expected to be further developed during 2014.

According to a forecast made by the Russian Ministry of Economic Development, Russian gas price indexation will not take place as of July 2014. However, year-on-year gas price growth is estimated to be 7.6% in 2014.

Distribution

Fortum is preparing for a possible sale of the Swedish electricity distribution business. The decision to complete the process is dependent on market development and development of national regulation, among other factors.

In Sweden, legal processes are under way concerning the appeal filed regarding the network income regulatory period 2012-2015. The Administrative Court in Sweden ruled in favour of the network companies in December 2013. The Energy Market Inspectorate decided to appeal the decision, and was given during leave to appeal to the Administrative Court of Appeals during the first quarter; therefore, the process continues. The court hearing is expected in Q4 2014 or Q1 2015.

The work to define the Swedish network income regulation model for the next regulatory period 2016-2019 is ongoing, and a first proposal by the Energy Market Inspectorate was given in March. Decisions are expected to be made during 2014.

Capital expenditure and divestments

Fortum currently expects its capital expenditure in 2014 to be approximately EUR 0.9-1.1 billion, excluding potential acquisitions. The Finnish distribution business is included in the figure until the end of the first quarter 2014 and the Norwegian until the end of June 2014. The annual maintenance capital expenditure is estimated to be about EUR 400-500 million in 2014, below the level of

depreciation. Capex for electricity distribution in Finland and Norway has been approximately EUR 150 million annually.

Fortum will gradually decrease its financing to Fortum Värme, the co-owned power and heat company operating in the capital area in Sweden, during 2014-2015. At the end of 2013, Fortum Värme's share of debt totalled approximately EUR 1 billion.

Taxation

The effective corporate tax rate for Fortum in 2014 is estimated to be 19–21%, excluding the impact of the share of profits of associated companies and joint ventures, non-taxable capital gains and non-recurring items. In Finland, the corporate tax rate was reduced from 24.5% to 20% as of 1 January 2014.

The Finnish Government decided in June that it will not, after all, introduce a power plant tax (windfall tax) on nuclear, hydro and wind power built before 2004. The final decision to revoke the tax will be made by the Parliament in autumn 2014.

Hedging

At the end of June 2014, approximately 55% of Power and Technology's estimated Nordic power sales volume was hedged at approximately EUR 45 per MWh for the rest of 2014. The corresponding figures for the calendar year 2015 were approximately 30% at approximately EUR 41 per MWh.

The hedge price for Power and Technology's Nordic generation excludes hedging of the condensing power margin. In addition, the hedge ratio excludes the financial hedges and physical volume of Fortum's coal-condensing generation as well as the segment's imports from Russia.

The reported hedge ratios may vary significantly, depending on Fortum's actions on the electricity derivatives markets. Hedges are mainly financial contracts, most of them Nord Pool forwards.

Dividend payment

The Annual General Meeting 2014 decided to pay a dividend of EUR 1.10 per share for 2013. The record date for the dividend was 11 April 2014, and the dividend payment date was 22 April 2014.

Translation differences

Translation differences impacted equity attributable to owners of the parent company with EUR -117 million during Q1-Q2 2014 (Q1-Q2 2013: -265). Translation differences are mainly related to RUB and SEK amounting to EUR -116 million in Q1-Q2 2014 (Q1-Q2 2013 mainly related to RUB, SEK and NOK: -243).

Translation of financial information from subsidiaries in foreign currency is done using average rate for the income statement and end rate for the balance sheet. The exchange rate differences occurring from translation to EUR are booked to equity. For information regarding exchange rates used, see Note 7 Exchange rates.

Cash flow hedges

The impact on equity attributable to owners of the parent from fair valuation of cash flow hedges, EUR -38 million during Q1-Q2 2014 (Q1-Q2 2013: 27), mainly relates to cash flow hedges hedging electricity price for future transactions, where hedge accounting is applied. When electricity price is lower/higher than the hedging price, the impact on equity is positive/negative.

Cash dividends

A dividend for 2013 of EUR 1.10 per share, amounting to a total of EUR 977 million, was decided at the Annual General Meeting on 8 April 2014. The dividend was paid on 22 April 2014.

The dividend in respect of 2012 of EUR 1.00 per share, amounting to a total of EUR 888 million, was decided at the Annual General Meeting on 9 April 2013. The dividend was paid on 19 April 2013.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

1. Basis of preparation

The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU. The condensed interim financial report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013.

All figures in the consolidated interim financial statements have been rounded and consequently the sum of individual figures may deviate from the sum presented. Key figures have been calculated using exact figures.

2. Accounting policies

The same accounting policies and presentation have been followed in these condensed interim financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013 except for the policies and presentation described below.

Adoption of new IFRS standards from 1 Jan 2014

Change in accounting for Fortum Värme

Fortum has applied the new IFRS 10 Consolidated financial statements and IFRS 11 Joint arrangements from 1 January 2014 onwards. IFRS 10 builds on the principle of identifying the concept of control as the determining factor whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The standard provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interests in joint ventures. Joint control under IFRS 11 is defined as the contractual sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when the decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

The effect of applying the new standards to Fortum Group financial information relates to AB Fortum Värme samägt med Stockholm Stad (Fortum Värme), that is treated as a joint venture and thus consolidated with equity method from 1 January 2014 onwards. Fortum Värme is a district heating company producing heat and power with CHP plants in Stockholm area. Before the change the company was consolidated as a subsidiary with 50% minority interest.

More information of the impact from the restatement can be found in Q1/2014 interim report (Note 2 and separate attachment).

3. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2013.

4. Segment information

Fortum renewed its business structure as of 1 March 2014. The reorganisation lead to a change in Fortum's external financial reporting structure as previously separately reported segments Heat and Electricity Sales are now combined into one segment: Heat, Electricity Sales and Solutions. Reorganisation had also some minor changes to the composition of the segments mainly due to the transfer of certain centralised functions to the business areas. Fortum reports its 2014 first quarter financial results according to the new structure. The reportable segments under IFRS have been renamed correspondingly.

The four reporting segments and their business divisions are as follows:

  • Power and Technology consists of Fortum's hydro, nuclear and thermal power generation, Power solutions with expert services, portfolio management and trading as well as technology and R&D functions. The segment incorporates two divisions Hydro Power and Technology and Nuclear and Thermal Power.

  • Heat, Electricity Sales and Solutions comprises of Fortum's combined heat and power (CHP) production, district heating activities and business to business heating solutions, solar business, electricity sales and related customer offering and corporate sustainability.

  • Russia comprises of Fortum's activities in Russia.

  • Distribution comprises of Fortum's electricity distribution activities.

Please see the attachment to Q1/2014 interim report for the quarterly segment information 2013 revised based on the new business structure.

The divested distribution operations are included in the segment information until the closing of the transactions. See additional information by country in the Quarterly information excel published with this interim report.

Nuclear related provisions

According to Nuclear Energy Act Fortum submits the proposal for the nuclear waste management liability regarding the Loviisa nuclear power plant to the Ministry of Employement and Economy by end of June every third year. The liability is based on nuclear waste management plan which is also updated every third year. The cost estimates related to the new nuclear waste management plan were completed in Q2 2013. The overall future cost estimate increased mainly due to higher costs for interim and final storage of spent fuel and decommissioning of the power plant. The liability was decided by the Ministry of Employment and Economy at the end of year 2013.

The legal liability on 30 June 2014, decided by the the Ministry of Employment and Economy in December 2013, was EUR 1,059 million. The provision in the balance sheet related to nuclear waste management is based on cash flows for future costs which uses the same basis as the legal liability. The carrying value of the nuclear provision, calculated according to IAS 37, increased by EUR 12 million compared to 31 December 2013, totalling EUR 756 million on 30 June 2014. The main reason for the difference between the carrying value of the provision and the legal liability is the fact that the legal liability is not discounted to net present value.

Fortum's share in the State Nuclear Waste Management Fund

Fortum contributes funds to the Finnish State Nuclear Waste Management Fund based on the yearly funding obligation target decided by the governmental authorities in December in connection with the decision of size of the legal liability. The current funding obligation target decided in December 2013 is EUR 1,039 million. Fortum has paid the fee of EUR 34 million in March 2014 whereafter Fortum's share of the State Nuclear Waste Management Fund is fully funded. According to Nuclear Energy Act, Fortum is obligated to contribute fund in full to the State Nuclear Waste Management Fund to cover legal liability. Based on the law, Fortum applied for periodising of the payments to the fund over three years, due to proposed increase in the legal liability. The application was approved by the Ministry of the Employment and the Economy in December 2013. The Fund is from an IFRS perspective overfunded with EUR 283 million, since Fortum's share of the Fund on 30 June 2014 was EUR 1,039 million and the carrying value in the balance sheet was EUR 756 million.

Effects to comparable operating profit and operating profit

Operating profit in Power and Technology segment is affected by the accounting principle for Fortum's share of the Finnish Nuclear Waste Management Fund, since the carrying value of the Fund in Fortum's balance sheet can in maximum be equal to the amount of the provisions according to IFRS. As long as the Fund is overfunded from an IFRS perspective, the effects to operating profit from this adjustment will be positive if the provisions increase more than the Fund and negative if actual value of the fund increases more than the provisions. This accounting effect is not included in Comparable operating profit in Fortum financial reporting, see Other items affecting comparability in Note 4. Fortum had an effect from this adjustment in Q2 2014 of EUR 0 million, compared to EUR 34 million in Q2 2013. The cumulative effect 2014 was EUR -4 million compared to EUR +31 million in 2013.

Associated companies

Fortum has minority shareholdings in associated Finnish and Swedish nuclear production companies. Fortum has for these companies accounted for its share of the effects from nuclear related assets and provisions according to Fortum accounting principles.

Fortum's investment programme in Russia is subject to possible penalties that can be claimed if the new capacity is substantially delayed or agreed major terms of the capacity supply agreement (CSA) are not otherwise fulfilled. The provision made for possible penalties is assessed at each balance sheet date and the assessment is based on changes in estimated risks and timing related to commissioning of the remaining power plants in the investment programme.

The remaining CSA provision at the end of Q2 2014 amounts to EUR 96 million (at year end 2013: 103) including EUR 12 million covering the remaining penalties to be paid in 2014 regarding the delay of Nyagan 2. During Q2 2014 EUR 4 million of the provision was reversed to the income statement relating to the lower penalties for Nyagan 2. Paid penalties during Q1-Q2 2014 amounted to EUR 3 million (Q1-Q2 2013: 16). The provision increases due to unwinding of the discounting of potential future penalty payments, which during Q1-Q2 2014 resulted in an increase of the provision with EUR 3 million (Q1-Q2 2013: 7). The unwinding effect is recognised in other financial expenses.

21. Legal actions and official proceedings

Group companies

The Swedish Energy Authority (EI), which regulates and supervises the distribution network tariffs in Sweden, has issued a decision concerning the allowed income frame for the years 2012-2015. EI has based its decision on a model with a transition rule stating that it takes 18 years to reach the allowed level of income. The EI decision has been appealed to the County Administrative Court by more than 80 distribution companies, including Fortum Distribution AB. The basis for Fortum Distribution AB's appeal is that the model is not compatible with the existing legislation and that EI has applied an incorrect method for the calculation of Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC). In December 2013, the court decided in favor of the industry on all major topics. However, the decision has been appealed by EI to the next level, the Administrative Court of Appeal. EI has filed a detailed appeal in February 2014 and developed grounds for the appeal in March 2014. Fortum has commented the grounds and received replies at the end of June and Fortum is presently preparing replies to latest submissions. Timetable for consideration of the matter by the Administrative Court of Appeal is not yet set.

Fortum received income tax assessments in Sweden for the years 2009, 2010 and 2011 in December 2011, December 2012 and December 2013, respectively. According to the tax authorities, Fortum would have to pay additional income taxes for the years 2009, 2010 and 2011 for the reallocation of loans between the Swedish subsidiaries in 2004-2005, as well as additional income taxes for the years 2010 and 2011 for financing of the acquisition of TGC 10 (current OAO Fortum) in 2008. The claims are based on a change in tax regulation as of 2009. Fortum considers the claims unjustifiable and has appealed the decisions. Based on legal analysis, no provision has been recognised in the financial statements.

If the decisions by the tax authority remain final despite the appeals processes, the impact on net profit would be approximately SEK 425 million (EUR 47 million) for the year 2009, approximately SEK 444 million (EUR 50 million) for the year 2010 and approximately SEK 511 million (EUR 57 million) for the year 2011.

The Administrative Court has now investigated Fortum's appeal for the year 2009 and, on 9 October 2013, ruled against the tax authority. The Administrative Court approved the appeal on formal legal grounds. Both the tax authority and Fortum have appealed the court's decision. The second level court ruled the case in tax authorities favor. Fortum has appealed this decision to Supreme Administrative Court. Decision from the Supreme Administrative Court of appeal is expected in 2015.

Fortum has received income tax assessments in Belgium for the years 2008, 2009 and 2010. Tax authorities disagree with the tax treatment of Fortum EIF NV. Fortum finds the tax authorities' interpretation not to be based on the local regulation. The court of first instance in Antwerpen gave a negative decision to Fortum's appeal on the 25th June 2014. The court's view was that Fortum EIF NV has received an abnormal benefit from Fortum Oyj as no interest on the equity invested was paid. Fortum has appealed the decision to the second instance court on the 30th June 2014. Decision is expected in 2015. No provision has been accounted for in the financial statements and this view is supported by a legal opinion. If the decision by the tax authorities remains final despite the appeal process, the impact on the net profit would be approximately EUR 36 million for the year 2008, approximately EUR 27 million for the year 2009 and approximately EUR 15 million for the year 2010. The tax has already been paid. If the appeal is approved, Fortum will receive a 7% interest on the amount.

Fortum received an income tax assessment in Finland for 2007 in December 2013. Tax authorities claim in the transfer pricing audit, that detailed business decisions are done by Fortum Oyj and therefore re-characterize the equity Fortum has injected to its Belgium subsidiary Fortum Project Finance NV not to be equity, but funds to be available for the subsidiary. Tax authorities' view is that the interest income that Fortum Project Finance NV received from its loans should be taxed in Finland, not Belgium. The Belgium tax authorities have an opposite view on the issue. Fortum considers the claims of the Finnish tax authorities unjustifiable both for legal grounds and interpretation. Fortum thinks tax should be levied based on law, not political interpretation of the law. Fortum has appealed the tax assessment decision in February 2014. Fortum has also appealed the tax authorities communication obligation concerning the audit documents. Further Fortum has started the mutual agreement procedure (MAP) between Finland, Belgium and Netherlands all the audited years. The appeals are based on national legislation in Finland and the EU arbitration between Finland and Belgium. Based on legal analysis, no provision has been recognized in the financial statements. If the decisions by the tax authority remain final despite the appeals processes, the impact on net profit would be approximately EUR 136 million for the year 2007.

Fortum has on-going tax audits in Finland, Belgium, Russia and some other countries.

Associated companies

In Finland Fortum is participating in the country's fifth nuclear power plant unit, Olkiluoto 3 (OL3), through the shareholding in Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO) with an approximately 25% share representing some 400 MW in capacity. The civil construction works of the Olkiluoto 3 plant unit have been mainly completed, and the reactor main components are installed. Reactor containment pressure and leak-tightness tests have been completed. Design of the I&C system and testing continued. Information about the start-up date of electricity production of OL3 plant unit is pending the finalization of the schedule clarification by the Supplier, AREVA-Siemens Consortium. Therefore TVO does not provide an estimate of the start-up time of OL3 nuclear power plant unit at the moment.

In December 2008 the OL3 supplier, AREVA-Siemens, initiated the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) arbitration proceedings and submitted a claim concerning the delay and the ensuing costs incurred at the Olkiluoto 3 project. In 2012, TVO submitted a counter-claim and defense in the matter. The quantification estimate of TVO's costs and losses was approximately EUR 1.8 billion, which included TVO's actual claim and estimated part until August 2014. The arbitration proceedings may continue for several years and TVO's claimed amounts will be updated. The supplier updated its original claim in October 2013. The updated claim including quantification until the end of June 2011 and together with the original claim, is in total approximately EUR 2.7 billion. TVO has considered and found the claim by the supplier to be without merit, and is in the process of scrutinizing the new material and responding to it.

In addition to the litigations described above, some Group companies are involved in other routine tax and other disputes incidental to their normal conduct of business. Based on the information currently available, management does not consider the liabilities arising out of such litigations likely to be material to the Group's financial position.

22. Related party transactions

Related parties are described in the annual financial statements as of the year ended 31 December 2013. No material changes have occurred during Q1-Q2 2014.

At the year-end 2013 the Finnish State owned 50.76% of the shares in Fortum. There has been no change in the shareholding during Q1-Q2 2014.

23. Events after the balance sheet date

In July, Fortum signed an agreement to acquire E.ON Ruhrgas International GmbH's shareholding of 33.66% in the Estonian natural gas import, sales and distribution company AS Eesti Gaas and a similar shareholding in the gas transmission service company AS Võrguteenus Valdus. The acquired shares will increase Fortum's holding in both companies to approximately 51.4%. Fortum will continue to account for its holdings in the Estonian natural gas businesses using equity method.

The transaction is subject to necessary regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. Fortum expects to finalise the transaction during the third quarter of 2014.
