January - September 2013
"With an organic revenue growth of 3% and an improved operative EBIT margin of 8.6% we continued to progress with our operative improvements in the third quarter. It is encouraging, that all of our three core segments achieved an operative EBIT margin close to 9%.
The implementation of our strategy is on track. Sales volumes of Kemira's two strategically most relevant product lines, polymers and sizing agents, have grown about 10% year-to-date. On October 1, we closed the acquisition of 3F, further strengthening our market position in polymers. Together with 3F's polymer capacity, Kemira is the second largest dry and emulsion polyacrylamide polymer producer globally.
Of the two growth segments, Paper has continuously been able to accelerate its growth pace. Oil & Mining market conditions have been unfavorable, and the segment has not yet met its growth targets. Municipal & Industrial has successfully disposed some smaller commodity chemicals businesses and has started with the implementation of its new business model, driven by a streamlined organization. The evaluation of exit options for the formic acid business of ChemSolutions is advancing as planned.
I continue to be fully committed as the President and CEO of Kemira until the end of April, 2014. For me, as well as for the entire Kemira organization, the utmost priority is to continue the fast and efficient implementation of the ongoing change initiatives."

The Paper segment's revenue increased 5% to EUR 271.0 million (256.9) mainly due to the sales volume growth in EMEA, NAFTA and SA. Sales price changes did not have a material impact on revenues. Currency exchange had -3% impact.
The Paper segment's revenue in EMEA increased by more than 10% as sales volumes continued to grow, especially in the two biggest differentiated product lines, polymers and sizing agents. In NAFTA, revenues increased by 7%, despite the unfavorable currency exchange. Sales prices increased and sales volume recovery continued in all main product lines. In SA, sales volumes and sales prices increased, but the impact of negative currency exchange drove revenues nearly 10% lower compared to the third quarter of 2012. In APAC, sales volumes were close to the level of the comparable period in 2012, but revenues declined more than 10% mainly due to lower sales prices and unfavorable currency exchange.
The operative EBIT increased 13% to EUR 23.6 million (20.9) mainly due to the continued growth of sales volumes. Slightly higher sales prices and lower fixed costs also contributed to the increased operative EBIT. Variable costs were higher as the raw material costs, especially related to electricity, increased. "Fit for Growth" savings amounted to EUR 5 million and could more than compensate for the higher sales and marketing expenses. Currency exchange had a small negative impact on the operative EBIT. The operative EBIT margin improved to 8.7% (8.1%).
Non-recurring items affecting EBIT were EUR -5 million (-20). Non-recurring items included restructuring charges related to the continuous efficiency improvement measures and the establishment of the Business Service Center in Gdansk, Poland.

The Municipal & Industrial segment's revenue decreased 7% to EUR 164.2 million (176.5) due to lower sales volumes, an unfavorable currency exchange impact of -3% and smaller disposals in Denmark and Romania.
The revenues in EMEA were close to a level of the comparable quarter in 2012, as sales volumes and sales prices were unchanged and smaller disposals in Denmark and Romania had only a small negative impacts on revenues. In NAFTA and in SA, the revenues decreased more than 10%, mainly due to lower sales volumes and unfavorable currency exchanges. Higher sales prices could partly compensate for the lower sales volumes.
The operative EBIT decreased 5% to EUR 14.4 million (15.2) mainly due to EUR 4 million higher variable costs. Raw material costs, mainly related to hydrochloric acid and acrylonitrile, increased and were the main reason for the increased variable costs. Slightly higher sales prices compensated for the lower sales volumes. The "Fit for Growth"-related costs savings of EUR 5 million more than offset the higher manufacturing-related fixed costs. The operative EBIT margin improved to 8.8% (8.6%).
Non-recurring items affecting the EBIT were EUR -10 million (-17), mainly related to smaller disposals in Denmark and Romania, restructuring charges for the streamlined organization and the establishment of the Business Service Center in Gdansk, Poland.
The Municipal & Industrial segment's revenue was EUR 507.0 million (511.2). The revenues in local currencies and excluding divestments increased by 1% due to the higher sales volumes, especially in EMEA and APAC and higher sales prices in SA. Currency exchange had an impact of -2%.
The operative EBIT increased 18% to EUR 38.9 million (32.9). "Fit for Growth" savings of EUR 14 million were the main reason for the improved profitability. Higher sales volumes and changes in sales prices had positive impacts on the operative EBIT. Variable costs increased EUR 8 million driven mainly by the higher propylene based raw material costs. The operative EBIT margin improved to 7.7% (6.4%).
Non-recurring items affecting the EBIT were EUR -15 million (-21), mainly related to the smaller disposals in Denmark and Romania, restructuring charges for the streamlined organization and the "Fit for Growth" program as well as for the establishment of a Business Service Center in Gdansk, Poland.
In September, Kemira announced that in-line with its strategy, Municipal & Industrial has started the implementation of a new business model, driven by a more streamlined organization. The new organization will result in a reduction of approximately 50 employees and in a more focused R&D approach with a 40% reduction of the Municipal & Industrial-related R&D portfolio. The new business model includes customer segmentation based on customer need and buying behaviour. The streamlined organization and the new business model are expected to result in more than EUR 5 million annual savings once fully implemented by the end of the second quarter 2014.
Kemira is investing in two new coagulant plants in Germany and in Spain, next to the Bayer MaterialScience's isocyanate production plants in Dormagen, Germany and Tarragona, Spain.

Kemira had in its possession 3,301,006 of its treasury shares on September 30, 2013. The average share price of treasury shares was EUR 6.73 and they represented 2.1% of the share capital and the aggregate number of votes conferred by all shares. The aggregate par value of the treasury shares is EUR 4.7 million.
The share premium is a reserve accumulating through subscriptions entitled by the management stock option program 2001. This reserve based on the old Finnish Companies Act (734/1978), which does not change anymore. The fair value reserve is a reserve accumulating based on available-for-sale financial assets (shares) measured at fair value and hedge accounting. Other reserves originate from local requirements of subsidiaries. The unrestricted equity reserve includes other equity type investments and the subscription price of shares to the extent that they will not, based on a specific decision, be recognized in share capital.

Major amounts of contractual commitments for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment on September 30, 2013 were about EUR 20.9 million for plant investments in China and Europe.
On August 19, 2009, Kemira Oyj received a summons stating that Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA (CDC) had filed an action against six hydrogen peroxide manufacturers, including Kemira, for violations of competition law applicable to the hydrogen peroxide business. In its claim, Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA seeks an order from the Regional Court of Dortmund in Germany to obtain an unabridged and full copy of the decision of the European Commission, dated May 3, 2006, and demands that the defendants, including Kemira, are jointly and severally ordered to pay damages together with accrued interest on the basis of such decision.
Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA has stated that it will specify the amount of the damages at a later stage after the full copy of the decision of the European Commission has been obtained by it. In order to provide initial guidance as to the amount of such damages, Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA presents in its claim a preliminary calculation of the alleged overcharge having been paid to the defendants as a result of the violation of the applicable competition rules by the parties which have assigned and sold their claim to Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA. In the original summons such alleged overcharge, together with accrued interest until December 31, 2008, was stated to be EUR 641.3 million.
Thereafter Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA has delivered to the attorneys of the defendants an April 14, 2011 dated brief addressed to the court and an expert opinion. In the said brief the minimum damage including accrued interest until December 31, 2010, based on the expert opinion, is stated to be EUR 475.6 million. It is further stated in the brief that the damages analysis of the expert does not include lost profit.
The process is currently pending in the Regional Court of Dortmund, Germany. It has on April 29, 2013 decided to suspend the case and to ask a preliminary ruling on jurisdiction from the Court of Justice of the European Union. Kemira defends against the claim of Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA.
Kemira Oyj has additionally been served on April 28, 2011 a summons stating that Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA has filed an application for summons in the municipal court of Helsinki on April 20, 2011 for violations of competition law applicable to the hydrogen peroxide business claiming from Kemira Oyj as maximum compensation EUR 78.0 million as well as overdue interest starting from November 10, 2008 as litigation expenses with overdue interest. The referred violations of competition law are the same as those on basis of which CDC has taken legal action in Germany in Dortmund. The municipal court has on July 4, 2013 made a decision which can not be appealed separately. In its decision the municipal court considers to have jurisdiction and that the claims made by the claimant are at least not totally time-barred. The next phase of the case is the consideration of the principal claim at the municipal court. Kemira defends against the claim of Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA.
Kemira Oyj's subsidiary Kemira Chemicals Oy (former Finnish Chemicals Oy) has on June 9, 2011 received documents where it is stated that CDC Project 13 SA was filed an action against four companies in municipal court of Amsterdam, including Kemira, asking damages for violations of competition law applicable to the sodium chlorate business. The European Commission set on June 2008 a fine of EUR 10.15 million on Finnish Chemicals Oy for antitrust activity in the company's sodium chlorate business during 1994-2000. Kemira Oyj acquired Finnish Chemicals in 2005. Next the municipal court of Amsterdam will decide in respect to its jurisdiction. Kemira defends against the claim of CDC Project 13 SA.
Kemira is currently not in a position to make any estimate regarding the duration or the likely outcome of the processes started by Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA and CDC Project 13 SA. No assurance can be given as to the outcome of the processes, and unfavorable judgments against Kemira could have a material adverse effect on Kemira's business, financial condition or results of operations. Due to its extensive international operations the Group, in addition to the above referred claims, is involved in a number of other legal proceedings incidental to these operations and it does not expect the outcome of these other currently pending legal proceedings to have materially adverse effect upon its consolidated results or financial position.
Transactions with related parties have not changed materially after annual closing 2012.

The fair values of the instruments which are publicly traded are based on market valuation on the date of reporting. Other instruments have been valuated based on net present values of future cash flows. Valuation models have been used to estimate the fair values of options.
Nominal values of the financial instruments do not necessarily correspond to the actual cash flows between the counterparties, and individual items do not therefore give a fair view of the Group's risk position.

This unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 ´Interim financial reporting´. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
All the figures in this interim financial statements have been rounded and consequently the sum of individual figures can deviate from the presented sum figure.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except as described below.
Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable total annual earnings.
Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012). The main change is the requirement for grouping items in 'other comprehensive income' based on whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss as certain conditions are fulfilled. The amendments only have an impact on the presentation of the Kemira's Consolidated Financial Statements.
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013). The standard aims to increase uniformity by providing specific definition for fair value. It also provides both requirements for determining fair value and the required disclosures under the same standard. The requirements do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards.
In the beginning of 2013, Kemira Group has applied revised Employee Benefits . The amendments to IAS 19 change the accounting for defined benefit plans. The most significant change relates to the accounting for changes in defined benefit obligations and plan assets. The amendments require the recognition of changes in defined benefit obligations and in fair value of plan assets when they occur, and hence eliminate the ´corridor approach' permitted under the previous version of IAS 19 and accelerate the recognition of past service costs. All actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately through other comprehensive income in order for the net pension asset or liability recognized in the consolidated balance sheet to reflect the full value of the plan deficit or surplus. Furthermore, the interest cost and expected return on plan assets in the previous version of IAS 19 are replaced with a 'net interest' amount under IAS 19 revised, which is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. IAS 19 revised introduces certain changes in the presentation of the defined benefit cost including more extensive disclosures in the Kemira's Financial Statements.
Q1/2013 Interim financial statements is the first financial report in which the Group has applied IAS 19 revised. Consequently, the Group has adjusted opening equity as of 1 January 2012 and the figures for 2012 have been restated as if IAS 19 revised had always been applied.
