Outlook

  • Fortum currently expects the annual electricity demand growth in the Nordic countries to be on average 0.5% in the coming years.
  • Capital expenditure guidance: EUR 1.1-1.4 billion in 2013 and EUR 0.9-1.1 billion in 2014.
  • Power Division's Nordic generation hedges: For the rest of the calendar year 2013, 75% hedged at EUR 45 per MWh, and for the 2014 calendar year, 50% hedged at EUR 42 per MWh.
  • Fortum's goal is to achieve an operating income (EBIT level) of about EUR 500 million runrate in its Russia division during 2015.

Fortum's CFO Markus Rauramo

"Fortum's second-quarter operational performance was good in all divisions. Total comparable operating profit amounted to EUR 298 million and net cash flow from operating activities to EUR 400 million. The ongoing efficiency programme has proceeded well according to plan - our costs have reduced, working capital improved and we have divested a number of non-core assets. This gives additional support to our operations going forward.

Europe's challenging economic situation has continued. Industrial demand has continued to decline, however, this has been offset by an increase in non-industrial consumption. The present low electricity prices and forwards have also narrowed the energy sector's operating field.

In the beginning of July, the European Parliament approved the so-called backloading proposal, i.e. the decision to withhold the auctioning of excess carbon credits concerning the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). The decision making process is now continuing and the Council and the Parliament will have to find a final agreement before all the details are known and backloading can be executed. It is assumed that this will take the rest of the year and that execution can take place during the first half of 2014. This is the first step in strengthening the European carbon market and establishing a clear price signal for CO2-free energy production. However, Fortum considers a more profound renovation of emissions trading necessary. The carbon market has to be strengthened by setting an ambitious emissions reduction target for 2030 in order to support the long-term investment environment, and by making a structural reform of the scheme, e.g. by establishing an allowance supply adjustment mechanism.

With regard to the Swedish hydro tax, at the end of April Fortum filed a complaint with the EU Commission to find out whether the construction of the tax is in line with the EU tax and state aid regulations. Taxes on electricity should not be levied for production, and different tax rates for different production technologies may constitute state aid − just as the so-called windfall tax would in Finland. The EU Commission informed Fortum in June that it will investigate the Swedish case more in detail.

Fortum continues to explore future alternatives for its electricity distribution business. The assessment is progressing as planned, and our aim is to complete it by the end of 2013. In addition, we announced that Fortum is assessing the future alternatives for its coal-fired condensing power plant in Inkoo, Finland.

New investments were formally finalised with the inaugurations of the first waste-to-energy CHP plant in the Baltics in Klaipeda, Lithuania, and the biofuel-fired CHP plant in Järvenpää, Finland. We also aim to gain experience in different solar technologies and in operating in the Indian power market. This ambition progressed with the acquisition of a 5-MW photo-voltaic solar power plant in Rajasthan, India. Fortum also agreed to extend its district heating network in Tartu, Estonia. We now own the whole district heating network of Tartu.

In the coming months, we will continue to emphasise customers, sustainability and safety as the cornerstones in our daily operations, and we will continue to work together in our ambition to reach our strategic goal as the next generation energy company."

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.

Capex in 2013 will be EUR 1.1–1.4 billion and in 2014 EUR 0.9–1.1 billion. At the end of 2014, the cost run-rate will be approximately EUR 150 million lower compared to 2012, including growth projects.

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

The programme has proceeded well and according to plan. During January-June, additional cost reductions were achieved. The divestments of small power plants in Sweden were also completed. In addition, as part of the efficiency programme's disposals, Fortum disclosed in June that it will sell its minority holding in Härjeåns Kraft Ab and Infratek ASA.

Restatement related to IFRS changes in pension accounting

Fortum is applying an amended IFRS standard for pensions as of 1 January 2013. Adoption of the new standard is done retrospectively and comparative information for 2012 is therefore restated to reflect the change (Note 2). The change had only a minor impact on Fortum's financial results and financial position; however, it reduced the equity by EUR 124 million as of 1 January 2012. The restated comparative figures for the year 2012 are presented in the attachment to the first-quarter interim report.

Financial results

April−June

In the second quarter of 2013, Group sales were EUR 1,327 (1,284) million. Comparable operating profit totalled EUR 298 (284) million and the reported operating profit totalled EUR 438 (286) million. Fortum's operating profit for the period was affected by non-recurring items, an IFRS accounting treatment (IAS 39) of derivatives mainly used for hedging Fortum's power production and nuclear fund adjustments amounting to EUR 140 (2) million (Note 4).

The share of profits from associates in the second quarter was EUR 33 (26) million. The share of profits from Hafslund and TGC-1 are based on the companies' published first-quarter interim reports; however, the share of profits for TGC-1 fourth-quarter 2011 results were also included in the second quarter of 2012 (Note 12).

January−June

In January-June, Group sales were EUR 3,318 (3,185) million. Comparable operating profit totalled EUR 948 (938) million and the reported operating profit totalled EUR 1,041 (1,025) million. Fortum's operating profit for the period was affected by non-recurring items, an IFRS accounting treatment (IAS 39) of derivatives mainly used for hedging Fortum's power production and nuclear fund adjustments amounting to EUR 93 (87) million (Note 4).

The share of profits of associates and joint ventures was EUR 62 (19) million. The increase comes mainly from TGC-1. The share of profits from Hafslund and TGC-1 are based on the companies' published fourth-quarter 2012 and first-quarter 2013 interim reports (Note 12).

The Group's net financial expenses increased to EUR 156 (151) million. Net financial expenses were negatively affected by changes in the fair value of financial instruments of EUR 6 (8) million.

Profit before taxes was EUR 947 (893) million.

Taxes for the period totalled EUR 181 (166) million. The tax rate according to the income statement was 19.2% (18.5%). The tax rate, excluding mainly the impact of the share of profits of associated companies and joint ventures as well as non-taxable capital gains, was 20.6% (21.1%).

The profit for the period was EUR 766 (727) million. Fortum's earnings per share were EUR 0.80 (0.77), of which EUR 0.08 (0.10) per share relates to items affecting comparability.

Non-controlling (minority) interests amounted to EUR 51 (43) million. These are mainly attributable to Fortum Värme Holding AB, in which the city of Stockholm has a 50% economic interest.

Financial position and cash flow

Cash flow

In January-June 2013, total net cash from operating activities increased by EUR 174 (8) million to EUR 1,046 (872) million, mainly due to a decrease in working capital. Capital expenditures decreased by EUR 30 million to EUR 547 (577) million. Proceeds from divestments totalled EUR 40 (310) million. Cash flow before financing activities, i.e. dividend distributions and financing, decreased by EUR 59 million to EUR 520 (579) million. The strong SEK (Swedish krona) during the first half of the year had a negative impact on the cash flow through realised net foreign exchange losses related to the rollover of foreign exchange contract hedging loans to Fortum's Swedish subsidiaries. Realised foreign exchange gains and losses were EUR -139 (-113) million.

During the reporting period, dividends totalling EUR 888 million were paid on 19 April 2013 using the cash and cash equivalents.

Assets and capital employed

Total assets decreased by EUR 587 million to EUR 23,974 (24,561 at year-end 2012) million. Noncurrent assets decreased by EUR 425 million from EUR 21,677 million to EUR 21,252 million. The majority, EUR 246 million, was a result of the decreased value of property, plants and equipment due to the weakening Russian rouble, Swedish krona and other currencies. The decrease in current assets was EUR 162 million, totalling EUR 2,722 million. The decrease relates mainly to the decrease in trade and other receivables, totalling EUR 445 million, which is offset by an increase of EUR 217 million in derivative financial instruments, and an increase of EUR 65 million in cash and cash equivalents and an increase of EUR 57 million in assets held for sale relating to contracted divestments.

Capital employed was EUR 19,348 (19,420 at year-end 2012) million, a decrease of EUR 72 million. The decrease was due to the lower amount of total assets, EUR 587 million, and a EUR 515 million decrease in interest-free liabilities.

Equity

Total equity was EUR 10,285 (10,643 at year-end 2012) million, of which equity attributable to owners of the parent company totalled EUR 9,671 (10,040) million and non-controlling interests EUR 614 (603) million.

The decrease in equity attributable to owners of the parent company totalled EUR 369 million and is mainly due to the payment of the dividends totalling EUR 888 million, net profit of EUR 715 million for the period and translation differences of EUR -268 million.

Financing

Net debt increased during January-June by EUR 221 million to EUR 8,035 (7,814 at year-end 2012) million mainly as a result of the dividend payment of EUR 888 million in April.

During the second quarter Fortum issued three new bonds with a total value of about 330 million. The amount of Fortum's Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) was lowered from EUR 2,5 billion to 2,0 billion and a majority of the facility was extended from 2016 to 2017.

At the end of June 2013, the Group's liquid funds totalled EUR 1,028 (963 at year-end 2012) million. Liquid funds include cash and bank deposits held by OAO Fortum amounting to EUR 162 (128 at year-end 2012) 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 2013 were EUR 156 (151) million. Net financial expenses include changes in the fair value of financial instruments of EUR -6 (-8) million.

Fortum Corporation's long-term credit rating with S&P was A- (negative outlook).

In February, Fortum decided to terminate the rating relationship with Moody's Investors Service. Moody's had an A2 rating with a negative outlook. As of April, Fortum and Fitch Ratings entered into an agreement. Fitch will provide a rating of Fortum Corporation and any subsequently issued securities issued under Fortum's EMTN programme. Fitch's current long-term issuer default rating of Fortum Corporation is A- (negative outlook).

Key figures

For the last twelve months, net debt to EBITDA was 3.1 (3.1 at year-end 2012) and comparable net debt to EBITDA 3.3 (3.2), impacted by EUR 888 million in dividend payments. Gearing was 78% (73%) and the equity-to-assets ratio 43% (43%). Equity per share was EUR 10.89 (11.30). For the last twelve months, return on capital employed was 10.5% (10.2%) and return on equity 15.4% (14.6%).

Market conditions

Nordic countries

According to preliminary statistics, electricity consumption in the Nordic countries during the second quarter was 86 (87) terawatt-hours (TWh). The decrease in industrial demand was to a large extent offset by an increase in non-industrial consumption. In January–June, electricity consumption in the Nordic countries was 203 (201) TWh.

At the beginning of the year, the Nordic water reservoirs were at 85 TWh, i.e. 2 TWh above the longterm average. By the beginning of the second quarter, the reservoirs had declined to 35 TWh, i.e. 6 TWh below the long-term average and 21 TWh below the corresponding level in 2012. At the end of the quarter, the reservoirs were up, at 82 TWh, which is 2 TWh below the long-term average and 4 TWh below the corresponding level in 2012. High precipitation during the second quarter of 2013 contributed to normalising of the reservoir levels, particularly in Norway.

During the second quarter, the average system spot price of electricity in Nord Pool was EUR 38.7 (28.4) per megawatt-hour (MWh). The average area price in Finland was EUR 39.9 (32.4) per MWh and in Sweden (SE3) 38.3 (29.6) per MWh. For Finland, the somewhat higher area price was mainly due to the period in early June when import capacity from Sweden was limited due to a failure in the Fenno-Skan connection that occurred while annual maintenance in Olkiluoto was under way.

During January–June 2013, the average system spot price was EUR 40.4 (33.3) per MWh. In Finland, the average area price was EUR 41.0 (37.5) per MWh and in Sweden (SE3) EUR 40.1 (34.3) per MWh.

In Germany, the average spot price during the second quarter of 2013 was EUR 32.6 (40.4) per MWh and during January–June 2013 EUR 37.4 (42.7) per MWh.

The market price of CO2 emission allowances (EUA) moved from approximately EUR 6.6 per tonne at the beginning of the year to approximately EUR 4.8 per tonne at the beginning of the second quarter and further to approximately EUR 4.2 per tonne by the quarter-end. During January–June, EUA traded between EUR 2.8 and EUR 6.7 per tonne. The volatility in prices has largely been due to the ongoing EU process on whether to implement the so-called backloading of allowances to support the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS).

At the beginning of July, the European Parliament finally approved the amendment of the emissions trading directive regarding the backloading of allowances. The approved backloading will mean a temporary withdrawal of 900 million allowances from the market in 2013-2015 and returning them towards the end of the 2013-2020 period.

Russia

Fortum operates in Urals and Western Siberia. Both 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, electricity demand increased marginally in the second quarter compared to the same period of the previous year.

According to preliminary statistics, Russia consumed 235 (232) TWh of electricity during the second quarter of 2013. The corresponding figure in Fortum's operating area in the First price zone (European and Urals part of Russia) was 175 (172) TWh. In January-June, Russia consumed 523 (524) TWh of electricity. The corresponding figure in Fortum's operating area in the First price zone (European and Urals part of Russia) was 388 (389) TWh.

In the second quarter of 2013, the average electricity spot price, excluding capacity price, increased by 13% to RUB (Russian rouble) 1,043 (925) per MWh in the First price zone.

In January-June, the average electricity spot price, excluding capacity price, increased by 11% to RUB 1,020 (920) 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 53).

April–June

In the second quarter of 2013, the Power Division's comparable operating profit was EUR 210 (222) million, i.e. EUR 12 million lower than in the corresponding period in 2012.

The operating profit, EUR 337 (214) million, was affected by non-recurring items, an IFRS accounting treatment (IAS 39) of derivatives mainly used for hedging Fortum's power production and nuclear fund adjustments amounting to EUR 127 (-8) million (Note 4).

The system and all area prices were higher during the second quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The average system spot price of electricity in Nord Pool was EUR 38.7 (28.4) per MWh. The average area price in Finland was EUR 39.9 (32.4) per MWh and in Stockholm, Sweden, (SE3) EUR 38.3 (29.6) per MWh. Power's achieved Nordic power price was EUR 44.7 (43.9) per MWh, or EUR 0.8 per MWh higher than in the corresponding period in 2012.

Nuclear power production improved and availabilities were high except in Oskarshamn 1. The unit was restarted in May after a long outage for a test period. The Power Division's result was burdened by lower hydro power production (-1.2 TWh) compared to record-high production in 2012. The hydro availability remained very high, but production was affected by lower reservoir levels. During April– June 2013, Fortum had 0.5 TWh of thermal production in the Nordic countries. Hence, the CO2-free production amounted to 93% (97%).

The combined effect of increased nuclear and thermal volumes, a higher achieved Nordic power price as well as the lower hydro volumes had a negative impact of approximately EUR 10 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the corresponding period in 2012. Operating costs remained roughly at the same level as in April–June 2012. The higher SEK (EUR 5 million) and estimated higher taxation values (EUR 10 million) on Swedish hydro assets increased the cost level, but the negative impact was offset by the timing of costs and the savings achieved through the efficiency programme.

In the second quarter of 2013, the division's total power generation in the Nordic countries was 10.9 (11.1) TWh, which corresponds to an approximately 2% decrease compared to the same period in 2012.

January–June

In January–June 2013, the Power Division's comparable operating profit was EUR 513 (564) million, i.e. EUR 51 million lower than in the corresponding period in 2012.

Operating profit was EUR 600 (582) million. A gain of EUR 4 million, related to the divestments of small hydro plants in Sweden, was booked into the first quarter of 2013. The operating profit was also affected by the IFRS accounting treatment (IAS 39) of derivatives used mainly for hedging Fortum's power production and nuclear fund adjustments amounting to EUR 83 (-29) million (Note 4).

The achieved Nordic power price was EUR 45.2 per MWh, or EUR 0.5 per MWh lower than in January–June in 2012. Despite higher spot prices in the first half of 2013 than in the same period in 2012, the lower average price of hedges resulted in a lower achieved Nordic power price. The average system spot price was EUR 40.4 (33.3) per MWh, and the average area price in Finland EUR 41.0 (37.5) per MWh and in Stockholm, Sweden, (SE3) EUR 40.1 (34.3) per MWh.

Low water reservoir levels and lower inflow decreased hydro generation significantly compared to the comparable period in the previous year. Nuclear availability was at a high level in all reactors except in Oskarshamn 1. The total nuclear volume was thus higher than during the corresponding period in 2012. During the first half of 2013, Fortum had 1.2 TWh of thermal production in the Nordic countries. Hence, the CO2-free production amounted to 93% (97%).

The effect of increased nuclear and thermal volumes combined with lower hydro volumes and a lower achieved Nordic power price had a negative impact of approximately EUR 40 million during the first half of 2013 compared to the corresponding period in 2012. During January-June 2013, operating costs increased by approximately EUR 10 million, mainly due to the higher SEK (EUR 11 million) and estimated higher taxation values (EUR 20 million) on Swedish hydro assets. The cost increases were partly offset by the timing of costs and by savings resulting from the efficiency programme.

In January-June 2013, the division's total power generation in the Nordic countries was 24.1 (23.9) TWh, which corresponds to an approximately 1% increase compared to the same period in 2012.

Fortum has two fully-owned reactors in Loviisa, Finland, and the company is also a co-owner in eight reactors at the Olkiluoto, Oskarshamn and Forsmark nuclear power plants in Finland and Sweden. Nuclear availability was at a high level in all of the reactors except Oskarshamn 1, which was shut down on December 2012 due to a failure in an emergency diesel generator. Oskarshamn 1 was started at the end of May 2013 for a test period. Also in May, commissioning tests at Forsmark 2 were finished according to the plan and the unit has been running at the new nominal value of 1,120 MW, an increase of 120 MW.

In June, Fortum announced that it will assess future alternatives for its Inkoo coal-fired power plant (1,000 MW) located on the south coast of Finland. The alternatives assessed include the partial closure of the power plant or even discontinuing the entire production operations, among others. Consequently, Fortum started employee co-determination negotiations affecting all Inkoo power plant personnel. The negotiations began on 12 June 2013 and will last at least six weeks. There are a total of 90 employees at the power plant.

The Swedish State has increased the real-estate tax for hydropower as of 2013. The tax is based on the production volumes and, according to preliminary information, is estimated to increase Fortum's costs by approximately EUR 40 million annually. Fortum has filed a complaint with the European Commission and, according to a notification to Fortum, the European Commission has decided to investigate the matter and has asked for further information from the Swedish authorities.

Fortum's preparations for the French hydro concession bidding have progressed as planned.

April–June

The Heat Division's heat sales volumes amounted to 3.2 (3.3) TWh during the second quarter of 2013. During the same period, power sales volumes from CHP production totalled 1.0 (0.9) TWh.

The Heat Division's comparable operating profit in the second quarter was EUR 11 (24) million, EUR 13 million lower than in the corresponding period of 2012. The main reasons for the decline were a change in fuel inventories and lower heat volumes in Sweden due to warmer weather and less income from electricity certificates sales.

The operating profit in the second quarter totalled EUR 8 (21) million.

January–June

Heat sales volumes during January-June 2013 amounted to 11.4 (11.4) TWh. During the same period, power sales volumes from CHP production totalled 2.7 (2.5) TWh.

The Heat Division's comparable operating profit in January-June 2013 was EUR 181 (186) million, i.e. EUR 5 million lower than in the corresponding period of 2012. The decrease in the result was mainly due lower power sales price and a change in fuel inventories.

Operating profit in January-June 2013 totalled EUR 183 (235) million. Sales gains related to divestments totalled EUR 0 (58) million (Note 4).

Fortum operates in the well-developed industrial regions of the Urals and in the oil-producing Western Siberia.

The liberalisation of the Russian wholesale power market has been complete 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 the second quarter of 2013, 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 2013 was held at the end of 2012. In the selection auction, the majority of Fortum's power plants were selected, with a price level close to the level received in 2012. Approximately 10% (265 MW) of the old capacity was not allowed to participate in the selection for 2013, due to tightened technical requirements. It will, however, receive capacity payments at the capacity market price during 2013.

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 are 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).

The new capacity will bring income from new volumes sold and receive considerably higher capacity payments than the old capacity. However, received capacity payments will differ depending on the age, location, type and size of the plant as well as seasonality and availability. The regulator will review the guaranteed CSA payments by re-examining earnings from the electricity-only market after three years and six years, after the commissioning of a unit, and could revise the CSA payments accordingly. In addition, CSA payments can vary somewhat annually because they are linked to the Russian Government long-term bonds with 8 to 10 years maturity.

The company's extensive investment programme, due to be completed by the end of 2014, is a key driver of growth in Russia. After the completion of the investment programme, the power generation capacity of the Russia Division will have nearly doubled and will exceed 5,100 MW. Fortum's goal is to achieve an annual operating profit level (EBIT) of about EUR 500 million in its Russia Division and to create positive economic value added in Russia.

April–June

The Russia Division's power sales volumes amounted to 6.4 (5.1) TWh during the second quarter of 2013. Heat sales totalled 4.1 (4.2) TWh during the same period.

The Russia Division's comparable operating profit was EUR 20 (4) million in the second quarter of 2013. The positive effect from the new units, receiving CSA payments, amounted to approximately EUR 34 (17) million in the second quarter, and included a reversal of the CSA provisions totalling EUR 10 million for the commissioning of the Nyagan 1 plant in April.

The operating profit was EUR 21 (15) million in the second quarter of 2013.

January−June

The Russia Division's power sales volumes amounted to 13.8 (11.3) TWh during January-June 2013. Heat sales totalled 13.8 (15.5) TWh during the same period.

The Russia Division's comparable operating profit was EUR 61 (52) million in January-June 2013. The positive effect from the commissioning of the new units amounted to approximately EUR 63 (41) million including a reversal of the CSA provision totalling EUR 10 million. Lower heat volumes due to an exceptionally warm winter in 2013 in the Chelyabinsk area, and the divestment of the heating network assets in Surgut in 2012 impacted negatively.

Operating profit was EUR 61 (63) million in January-June 2013. In 2012, the operating profit included a gain of EUR 11 million relating to the divestment of heating network assets in Surgut.

In late March, Fortum finished the final stages in the construction of its Nyagan power plant unit 1. Accordingly, the company started receiving capacity payments for the unit from 1 April 2013 onwards. The unit capacity was certified to exceed 420 MW and is one of the most energy-efficient plants in Russia.

Nyagan is the first and largest greenfield thermal power plant project in Russia since 1990 and the most significant part of Fortum's investment programme. The Nyagan project, comprising three 418- MW combined-cycle gas units, is being constructed in the northern Urals, northeast of Moscow. When completed, the power production capacity of the natural gas-fuelled power plant will be approximately 1,250 MW.

Fortum estimates that the commissioning of Nyagan unit 2 will take place at the end of 2013. Nyagan 3 will be finalised at the end of 2014, at the latest, and will optimise the investment with regard to both capital and operational expenditures, received electricity sales and capacity payments. The capacity payments for the Nyagan unit 3 will start as of 1 January 2015. In accordance with the CSA terms, no penalties for unit 3 can be claimed before 1 January 2016.

There have been no changes in the overall schedule or financial targets of the investment programme: construction to be completed by the end of 2014 and reaching about EUR 500 million in run-rate in operating profit (EBIT) during 2015.

In 2008, Fortum made a provision for penalties caused by possible commissioning delays. In addition, according to the agreement with the contractor, Fortum is also entitled to adequate remedies in case of damages caused by contractor delays. The process with the main contractor continues.

Electricity Solutions and Distribution

The division is responsible for Fortum's electricity sales and distribution activities and consists of two business areas: Distribution and Electricity Sales.

Distribution

Fortum owns and operates distribution and regional networks and distributes electricity to a total of 1.6 million customers in Sweden, Finland and Norway.

April–June

The volume of distribution and regional network transmissions during the second quarter of 2013 totalled 5.6 (5.6) TWh and 3.8 (3.9) TWh, respectively.

The Distribution business area's comparable operating profit was EUR 60 (51) million. The increase was mainly due to an increased amount of relocation of cables and parts of the network, but cost savings and the stronger SEK also contributed positively. In addition, storm costs impacted the comparison period negatively.

Operating profit in the second quarter of 2013 totalled EUR 61 (52).

January–June

In January-June 2013, the volume of distribution and regional network transmissions totalled 14.2 (13.9) TWh and 8.6 (8.8) TWh, respectively.

The Distribution business area's comparable operating profit was EUR 197 (161) million. The increased profits are mainly attributable to higher volumes in the first quarter of 2013 (cold weather), due to an increased amount of relocation of cables and parts of the network, a stronger SEK and the costs related to the massive storm at the end of 2011 that burdened the first- and second-quarter results in 2012.

Operating profit in January-June 2013 totalled EUR 197 (169).

The rollout of smart metering with hourly measurement capabilities to network customers in Finland continued according to plan. By the end of the second quarter of 2013, 582,500 customers had received new electricity meters (434,000 at the end of 2012). By the end of 2013, a total of approximately 620,000 Finnish network customers will have smart metering. After the installations, customers will be invoiced based on actual electricity consumption, providing them with better control of their electricity usage. The new legislation on hourly meter reading in Finland will become effective on 1 January 2014.

In January, Fortum announced that it has decided to assess the strategic position of its electricity distribution business. The assessment has no impact on Fortum's electricity distribution customers and excludes the company's electricity retail business. Fortum expects to conclude the assessment during 2013.

In March 2013, the Finnish government made a proposal for the renewal of the electricity market act. The proposal includes implementation of the 3rd electricity market directive into national legislation and functional demands on electricity grids. According to the proposal, the maximum length of outages should be limited to six hours for urban areas and 36 hours for rural areas after a 15-year transition period. The legislation is expected to be in force from 1 September 2013. Also, gradual increases in customer compensation for long outages have been proposed; 150% of the annual grid fee after 8 days of outage and 200% of the annual grid fee for outages longer than 12 days. The maximum amount would be increased from 700 euros to 2,000 euros by 2015.

Both in Finland and Sweden, legal processes are under way concerning the appeals filed regarding the network income regulatory period 2012-2015, which came into force on 1 January 2012. In Finland, the national grid company Fingrid's appeal is being processed in the Supreme Administrative Court; in Sweden, court negotiations will be held at the beginning of the fourth quarter 2013 and a decision to the appeals is expected by end of the year.

During the second quarter of 2013, the business area's electricity volume sales to retail customers totalled 2.4 (2.4) TWh and Sales Trading 0.4 (0.6) TWh (reported until 2012 in the Other segment). The sales volume to retail customers increased due to a higher customer base, but at the same time decreased due to warmer than average weather.

Electricity Sales' comparable operating profit in the second quarter of 2013 totalled EUR 13 (11) million. The increase was mainly a result of an increased customer base (that offset lower volumes caused by warm temperatures), favourable wholesale market conditions and Sales Trading.

The operating profit totalled EUR 26 (11) million and was affected by an IFRS accounting treatment (IAS 39) of derivatives (Note 4).

January–June

During January–June 2013, the business area's electricity volume sales to retail customers totalled 6.7 (6.4) TWh and Sales Trading 0.9 (1.2) TWh (reported until 2012 in the Other segment). The higher volume to retail customers was due to colder than average weather in the first quarter and a higher customer base.

Electricity Sales' comparable operating profit in January-June 2013 totalled EUR 28 (20) million. The increase was mainly due to cold weather in the first quarter, an increased customer base, favourable wholesale market conditions and Sales Trading.

The operating profit totalled EUR 31 (22) million and was affected by an IFRS accounting treatment (IAS 39) of derivatives (Note 4).

Capital expenditures, divestments and investments in shares

Capital expenditures and investments in shares totalled EUR 311 (348) million in the second quarter of 2013. Investments, excluding acquisitions, were EUR 300 (343) million.

Power

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. Based on the recent progress reports received from the plant supplier, AREVA-Siemens Consortium, TVO is preparing for the possibility that the start of regular electricity production at OL3 may be postponed until 2016.

The Board of Directors of TVO proposed in February a new EUR 300 million shareholder loan commitment to the company's B-series shareholders. By means of the shareholder loan, TVO will prepare to maintain a sufficient level of equity in the OL3 project and cope with possible additional delays and costs in finalising the project. In June, all the B-series shareholders signed the loan agreement in accordance with the proposal made by the Board of Directors. Fortum's share of the new shareholder loan is 25% (EUR 75 million). In addition, Fortum has earlier committed to another EUR 300 million shareholder loan in the OL3 project; Fortum's share of that shareholder loan is 25% as well.

In June, TVO withdrew EUR 100 million from the first EUR 300 million shareholder loan commitment for the OL3 project; Fortum's share was EUR 25 million.

Also in June, Fortum announced that it has agreed to sell its 33% holding in the Norwegian company Infratek ASA to a fund managed by Triton. The sales price is approximately EUR 37 million. The divestment is planned to be completed during the third quarter of 2013. Fortum will book a sales gain of approximately EUR 10 million in the Power Division's third-quarter 2013 results. The transaction is subject to the approval of the relevant competition authorities.

Wind power production was started at the Blaiken wind power park (75 MW) in the first quarter of the year. The first 30 wind mills underwent test runs in February and commercial production was started in the second quarter. The Blaiken wind power park is co-owned by Skellefteå Kraft (60%) and Fortum (40%).

Heat

In January, the cornerstone was laid in Stockholm (Värtan), Sweden, for the new EUR 500 million, biofuel-fired CHP plant that will be ready in 2016. This project is the largest ongoing investment in the Heat Division.

In addition, in the first quarter of 2013, Heat launched a new commercial concept for bio-oil in Finland. Besides heat and electricity, bio-oil will be produced in the future CHP+ plants, where pyrolysis is integrated into the production process. The first commercial scale CHP+ plant is under construction in Joensuu, Finland.

In May, Fortum's new waste-fuelled CHP plant was inaugurated in Klaipeda, Lithuania. Commercial operation started at the end of the first quarter. The Klaipeda CHP plant has a capacity of 60 MW heat and 20 MW electricity. With an efficiency of almost 90%, it is able to incinerate 230,000 tonnes of waste and biomass annually and by replacing gas-fired capacity it reduces CO2 emissions by approximately 100,000 tons annually.

In June, a new bio-fuelled CHP plant was inaugurated in Järvenpää, Finland. Commercial operation started in May. The plant's capacity is 63 MW of heat and 23 MW of electricity. Also in June, Fortum announced that it is acquiring district heating operations from the Estonian company Eraküte in the city of Tartu. Eventually, Fortum plans to connect the acquired network area to Fortum's current network supplied by the company's biomass and peat-fired Tartu CHP plant. This will enable a larger use of biomass, reduce CO2 emissions and increase efficiency of heat production. After the acquisition, Fortum owns the whole district heating network of Tartu.

Russia

In late March, Fortum finished the final stages in the construction of its Nyagan power plant unit 1. Accordingly, the company started receiving capacity payments for the unit as of 1 April 2013 onwards. The unit's capacity was certified to exceed 420 MW and is one of the most energy-efficient plants in Russia.

Distribution

In June, Fortum agreed to sell its 47.9% ownership in the Swedish energy company Härjeåns Kraft Ab to the Finnish energy company Oy Herrfors Ab, a subsidiary of Katternö Group. The sales price was SEK 445 million (approximately EUR 52 million). The transaction was completed in July and Fortum will book a sales gain of approximately EUR 15 million to Distribution's third-quarter 2013 financial result.

Other

In June, Fortum acquired a solar power plant in the state of Rajasthan, north-western India. The company's short-term ambition is to build a small photo-voltaic (PV) solar portfolio in order to gain experience in different solar technologies and in operating in the Indian power market. The power plant's nominal peak capacity is 5.4 MW and its annual production is approximately 9 gigawatthours. The plant will receive a higher, guaranteed electricity price for 25 years. The period and the prices for power generation under the government's power purchase agreement are defined to ensure a sufficient return on investment. In the short term, Fortum is looking to invest some tens of millions of euros − including this acquisition − in developing its PV solar competence and operations in India.

At the end of the period, the Power Division had 1,994 (1,846) employees, the Heat Division 2,221 (2,212), the Russia Division 4,297 (4,253), the Distribution business area 882 (870), the Electricity Sales business area 519 (509) and Other 593 (681).

Research and development

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

During the reporting period, Fortum announced that it will participate in the Sustainable Bioenergy Solutions for Tomorrow (BEST) research programme established by two Strategic Centres for Science, Technology and Innovation (SHOK), CLEEN Oy and FIBIC Oy, in Finland and India. The programme is the first joint programme of the two SHOKs, and its goal is to encompass a completely new kind of collaboration between forest and energy know-how. TERI (The Energy and Resources Institute) is the main partner from India during the first phase of the programme.

In addition, Fortum has acquired a solar power plant in the state of Rajasthan, north-western India. The company's short-term ambition is to build a small photo-voltaic (PV) solar portfolio in order to gain experience in different solar technologies and in operating in the Indian power market.

The Group reports its R&D expenditure on a yearly basis. In 2012, Fortum's R&D expenditure was EUR 41 (38) million or 0.7% (0.6%) 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 division-level indicators.

The achievements of the sustainability targets are monitored through monthly, quarterly and annual reporting. As of the beginning of 2013, results of the sustainability indicators are also regularly

reported to Fortum's Board of Directors. In June 2013, the Board of Directors decided on a more systematic handling of sustainability issues and supplemented their working order with the approval of Fortum Corporation's Sustainability Policy, sustainability target setting as well as follow-up and review of Fortum's Sustainability Report.

The renewed sustainability targets since the beginning of 2013 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 company is listed on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index World, Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index and the STOXX Global ESG Leaders, the NASDAQ OMX and OMX GES Sustainability Finland indices.

Fortum's Sustainability Report 2012 was published in March 2013 and is available on the company's website.

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: comparable net debt/EBITDA around 3). In addition, Fortum also 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 environmental incidents and noncompliances. At the end of June 2013, ISO 14001 certification covered 96% 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 2013, the five-year average for specific CO2 emissions from power generation in the EU was at 63 (63) g/kWh and the total specific CO2 emissions from energy production was at 182 (173) g/kWh, both better than the target level.

Fortum's total CO2 emissions in January–June 2013 amounted to 12.1 (10.7) million tonnes (Mt), of which 3.6 (2.6) 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. The European Commission has not yet confirmed the free allocation for 2013. The preliminary estimate for Fortum is about 2.9 Mt, which is clearly less than the 5.4 Mt in 2012.

Emissions in Russia 3.7 3.2 8.5 7.9 15.6 16.1

Fortum's energy efficiency target is to raise the overall efficiency of fuel use to 70% as a five-year average. In January–June 2013 the overall efficiency of fuel use was 62% (67%) and the five-year average after June was 66% (68%), meaning that the target level was not met.

Fortum's target is to have less than 40 environmental incidents annually. In January–June 2013, altogether 21 (18) environmental incidents took place in Fortum's operations. This includes nine leaks or spills of oil into the environment, seven fires, one explosion, one International Nuclear Event Scale 1 incident (INES) and three environmental non-compliances. None of these incidents had significant environmental or financial impacts.

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 2013, OHSAS 18001 certification covered 71% of Fortum's power and heat production and distribution operations worldwide.

During the first half of 2013, the average energy availability of Fortum's European CHP plants was 94.1% (95.8%), which is above the annual target level of 92%. In electricity distribution, the cumulative SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index) was 35 (44) minutes in January– May, while the annual target is less than 110 minutes.

In January–June 2013, the Group-level lost workday injury frequency (LWIF) was 1.2 (1.7), which is close to the target level of less than one per million working hours for Fortum's own personnel. In contrast to Fortum's own employees, contractor safety has not developed as desired. A fatal

contractor accident took place in Fortum's Russian operations in May. Several safety improvements will be implemented as a result of the accident; Fortum's defined 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 Fortum Supplier Code of Conduct. In January–June 2013, Fortum audited three suppliers: a biofuel supplier in Brazil, a partner in Poland and a contractor in Sweden.

Changes in Fortum's Management

In March, Fortum Corporation's President and CEO Tapio Kuula was diagnosed with a condition requiring medical treatment. He started his sick leave immediately.

During Tapio Kuula's leave of absence, Fortum's CFO Markus Rauramo assumes responsibility for the duties of President and CEO.

Annual General Meeting 2013

Fortum Corporation's Annual General Meeting, which was held in Helsinki on 9 April 2013, adopted the financial statements of the parent company and the Group for 2012 and discharged the members of Fortum's Board of Directors as well as the President and CEO from liability for 2012.

The Annual General Meeting decided to pay a dividend of EUR 1.00 per share for 2012. The record date for the dividend payment was 12 April 2013 and the dividend payment date was 19 April 2013.

The Annual General Meeting confirmed the number of members in the Board of Directors to be seven. Sari Baldauf was re-elected as Chairman and Christian Ramm-Schmidt as Deputy Chairman, and members Minoo Akhtarzand, Heinz-Werner Binzel, Ilona Ervasti-Vaintola, Kim Ignatius and Joshua Larson were re-elected.

The Annual General Meeting confirmed the annual 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 Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee if he or she is not at the same time acting as Chairman or Deputy Chairman. In addition, a EUR 600 fee is paid for Board meetings as well as for committee meetings. The meeting fee is doubled for Board members who live outside Finland but in Europe and tripled for members living elsewhere outside Finland. Members of the Board of Directors are compensated for travel expenses in accordance with the company's travel policy.

The Annual General Meeting also resolved to appoint a permanent Shareholders' Nomination Board to prepare proposals concerning Board members and their remuneration to the Annual General Meeting, and, if necessary, to an Extraordinary General Meeting. The Nomination Board will consist of four members, three of which shall be appointed by the Company's three largest shareholders, who will appoint one member each. The Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors serves as the fourth member. The Chairman of the Board of Directors shall convene the first meeting of the Nomination Board. The Nomination Board shall elect a Chairman from its members and the Nomination Board's Chairman shall be responsible for convening subsequent meetings. The Nomination Board is established to exist and serve until the General Meeting of the Company decides otherwise. The members shall be nominated annually and their term of office shall end when new members are nominated to replace them. The Nomination Board shall forward its proposals for the Annual General Meeting to the Company's Board of Directors by 31 January each year. Proposals intended for an Extraordinary General Meeting shall be forwarded to the Company's Board of Directors in time for them to be included in the notice to the General Meeting.

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

Updated dividend policy

In April 2013, Fortum's Board of Directors decided to update the company's dividend policy. The new dividend policy ensures that shareholders receive a fair remuneration for their entrusted capital, supported by the company's long-term strategy that aims at increasing earnings per share and thereby the dividend. When proposing the dividend, the Board of Directors looks at a range of factors, including the macro environment, balance sheet strength as well as future investment plans. Fortum Corporation's target is to pay a stable, sustainable and over time increasing dividend in the range of 50-80% of earnings per share excluding one-off items.

Outlook

Key drivers and risks

Fortum's financial results are exposed to a number of strategic, political, financial and operational risks. The key factor 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.

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 emission allowance prices, and this could maintain downward pressure on the Nordic wholesale price for electricity in the short term. In the Russian business, the key factors are 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 the 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 SEK and 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 will continue to gain a higher share of the total energy consumption. Fortum currently expects the average annual growth rate in electricity consumption to be 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 the second quarter of 2013, the prices of coal, oil and CO2 weakened. The forward prices of electricity for the upcoming twelve months in the Nordic area and in Germany decreased as well.

In mid-July 2013, the future quotation for coal (ICE Rotterdam) for the rest of 2013 was around USD 79 per tonne, and the price for CO2 for year 2013 about EUR 4 per tonne.

In mid-July 2013, the electricity forward price in Nord Pool for the rest of 2013 was around EUR 39 per MWh. For 2014, the price was around EUR 36 per MWh and for 2015 around EUR 34 per MWh. In Germany, the electricity forward price for the rest of 2013 was around EUR 39 per MWh and for 2014 EUR 38 per MWh.

In mid-July 2013, Nordic water reservoirs were about 5 TWh below the long-term average and 12 TWh below the corresponding level of 2012.

Power

The Power Division's Nordic power price typically depends on such factors 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 Division'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 Division will be affected by the possible thermal power generation volumes and its profits.

The ongoing Swedish nuclear investment programmes, lasting for several years, will 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.

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.

Capacity not under CSA competes in the competitive capacity selection (CCS – "old capacity"). The capacity selection for 2013 was held at the end of 2012. The majority of Fortum's power plants were selected in the auction, with a capacity price level close to the level received in 2012. Approximately 10% (265 MW) of the old capacity was not allowed to participate in the selection for 2013, due to tightened technical requirements. It will, however, receive capacity payments at the capacity market price for 2013.

The Russia Division's new capacity will be a key driver for earnings growth in Russia as it will bring income from new volumes sold and 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. The regulator will review the earnings from the electricity-only market after three years and six years, after the commissioning of a unit, and could revise the CSA payments accordingly. CSA payments can vary somewhat annually because they are linked to Russian Government long-term bonds with 8 to 10 years maturity.

Fortum estimates that the commissioning of the Nyagan unit 2 will take place at the end of 2013 and that Nyagan 3 will be finalised at the end of 2014 at the latest. This will optimise the investment with regard to both capital and operational expenditures, received electricity sales and capacity payments. The capacity payments for Nyagan unit 3 will start as of 1 January 2015. In accordance with the CSA terms, no penalties for unit 3 will be claimed before 1 January 2016.

The last two units of Fortum's Russian investment programme that are also under construction will be built in Chelyabinsk instead of Tyumen, as originally planned. The units are to be constructed at the Chelyabinsk GRES power plant. These last new units of the CSA agreement are planned to be constructed by the end of 2014. In addition, Fortum plans to modernise and upgrade the existing equipment of the power plant.

The value of the remaining part of the investment programme, calculated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of June 2013, is estimated to be approximately EUR 490 million as of July 2013. The main reasons for why the value has not changed compared to the end of March are the cost increases related to construction work and equipment purchases at the Chelyabinsk GRES power plant.

After completing the on-going investment programme by the end of 2014, Fortum's goal is to achieve an operating profit level (EBIT) of about EUR 500 million run-rate in its Russia Division during 2015 and to create positive economic added value in Russia.

A commission for heat business development has been set up by the Russian Government. The top priorities will be issues regarding heat regulation, centralised district heating and co-generation efficiency.

In February 2013, the Board of Russia's Federal Tariff Service (FTS) adopted a decision according to which the wholesale gas price for industrial consumers is to be decreased by 3% as of the second quarter 2013, compared to first quarter. Since the beginning of 2013, wholesale gas prices (except private household and industrial consumers) have been reviewed quarterly. The Russian Government decided to increase the gas prices as of the beginning 1 July 2013; the increase in 2013 is expected to be approximately 15% compared to 2012.

Capital expenditure and divestments

Fortum currently expects its capital expenditure in 2013 to be EUR 1.1–1.4 billion and in 2014 EUR 0.9–1.1 billion, excluding potential acquisitions. The annual maintenance capital expenditure is estimated to be about EUR 500–550 million in 2013, somewhat below the level of depreciation.

Taxation

The effective corporate tax rate for Fortum in 2013 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, a plan to reduce the corporate tax rate from 24.5% to 20% as of 1 January 2014 has been presented. The decrease would cause a one-time positive effect that would be booked in the fourth quarter 2013. In Sweden, the corporate tax rate was decreased from 26.3% to 22% as of 1 January 2013.

The process to update the real estate taxation values for the year 2013 is ongoing in Sweden and is expected to be finalised in the third quarter 2013. Based on the latest Swedish Government budget proposal, it is estimated that Fortum's costs would increase by approximately EUR 40 million in 2013 compared to 2012. The update is done on a six-year cycle. At the end of April, Fortum filed a complaint with the EU Commission on the Swedish hydro tax to find out whether the construction of the tax is in line with the EU tax and state aid regulations. The EU Commission informed Fortum in June that it will investigate the case in more detail.

In March 2013, the Finnish Government announced that the planned so-called windfall tax, to be introduced in 2014, will be cut to EUR 50 million from EUR 170 million.

Hedging

At the end of June 2013, approximately 75% of the Power Division's estimated Nordic power sales volume was hedged at approximately EUR 45 per MWh for the rest of the calendar year 2013. The corresponding figures for the calendar year 2014 were about 50% at approximately EUR 42 per MWh.

The hedge price for the Power Division'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 division'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 2013 decided to pay a dividend of EUR 1.00 per share for 2012. The record date for the dividend was 12 April 2013, and the dividend payment date was 19 April 2013.

Translation differences

Translation differences impacted equity attributable to owners of the parent company with EUR -265 million during Q1-Q2 2013 (Q1-Q2 2012: 64) mainly relating to RUB, SEK and NOK amounting to EUR -243 million in Q1-Q2 2013 (Q1-Q2 2012: 56).

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 29 million during Q1-Q2 2013 (Q1-Q2 2012: -5), 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 dividend

A dividend for 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.

The dividend in respect of 2011 of EUR 1.00 per share, amounting to a total dividend of EUR 888 million, was decided at the Annual General Meeting on 11 April 2012. The dividend was paid on 23 April 2012.

Non-cash flow items and divesting activities

Non-cash flow items and divesting activities consist mainly of changes in provisions (including nuclear) EUR -98 million (Q1-Q2/2012: -19), adjustments for unrealised fair value changes of derivatives EUR -59 million (Q1-Q2/2012: 21) and capital gains EUR -4 million (Q1-Q2/2012: -121). The actual proceeds for divestments are shown under cash flow from investing activities.

Realised foreign exchange gains and losses and other financial items

Realised foreign exchange gains and losses of EUR -139 million for Q1-Q2/2013 (Q1-Q2/2012: -113) related mainly to financing of Fortum's Swedish subsidiaries and the fact that the Group's main external financing currency is EUR. The foreign exchange gains and losses arise for rollover of foreign exchange contracts hedging the internal loans as major part of these forwards is entered into with short maturities i.e. less than twelve months.

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 2012.

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 2012 except for the policies and presentation described below.

Changes in accounting policies for pensions

Fortum has applied the amended IAS19 Employee benefits - standard starting from 1 January 2013. The amendment changes the accounting for defined benefit plans by eliminating the corridor approach. Accordingly actuarial gains and losses are immediately recognised in the period they occur in equity. The change did not have a material effect on Fortum's financial results or financial position, however it impacted equity through other comprehensive income.

Amendments in IAS19 entail that the financial information for 2012 is recalculated. More information about the impact from the recalculation can be found in the Q1/2013 report.

New disclosures for financial assets and liabilities

Fortum has applied the new IFRS 13 Fair value measurement -standard and amended IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities -standard from 1 January 2013 onwards. IFRS 13 establishes guidance under IFRS for all fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not change when to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted. The application of IFRS 13 has not materially impacted the fair value measurements carried out by Fortum. IFRS 13 also requires specific disclosures on fair value hierarchy. These disclosures are given in Note 5.

IFRS 7 as amended requires disclosures for financial instruments such as fair value and carrying amount disclosures for each class of financial assets and liabilities as well as information on collaterals. This information is disclosed in Notes 5, 13, 14 and 17.

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 2012.

1) Carrying amount including current portion of long-term receivables EUR 5 million (Dec 31 2012: 8).

Long-term loan receivables include receivables from associated companies EUR 1,309 million (Dec 31 2012: 1,332), mainly from Swedish nuclear companies, OKG AB and Forsmarks Kraftgrupp AB, EUR 1,200 million (Dec 31 2012: 1,249). These companies are mainly funded with shareholder loans, pro rata each shareholder's ownership. The decrease is mainly due to weakening of Swedish krona.

Long-term loan receivables also include receivables from the associated company Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO) amounting to EUR 85 million (Dec 31 2012: 58). Olkiluoto 3, the nuclear power plant being built by TVO, is funded through external loans, share issues and shareholder loans according to shareholders' agreement between the owners of TVO. In March 2009, TVO's shareholders committed to providing a EUR 300 million subordinated shareholders' loan to TVO. The facility will be available until the end of 2015. Fortum's share of this commitment is at maximum EUR 75 million of which EUR 25 was outstanding at end of June 2013. In March 2012 a subordinated shareholder loan was given to fund planning of Olkiluoto 4, where Fortum´s share of the commitment is EUR 72 million of which EUR 15 was outstanding at end of June 2013. In June 2013, TVO's shareholders committed to providing additional EUR 300 million subordinated shareholders' loan related to Olkiluoto 3. The facility will be available until the end of 2018.

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 costs are estimated to increase mainly due to higher costs for interim and final storage of spent fuel and decommissioning of the power plant. The liability will be decided by the Ministry of Employment and Economy by end of year 2013.

The legal liability on 30 June 2013, decided by the the Ministry of Employment and Economy in December 2012, was EUR 996 million. The legal liability at the end of 2013, based on the proposal to the Ministry of Employment and Economy, is expected to increase to 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 due to the new cost estimates by EUR 51 million compared to 31 December 2012, totalling EUR 729 million on 30 June 2013. 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 2012 is EUR 996 million. Fortum has in Q2 paid the fee of EUR 40 million whereafter Fortum's share of the State Nuclear Waste Management Fund is fully funded. The Fund is from an IFRS perspective overfunded with EUR 267 million, since Fortum's share of the Fund on 30 June 2013 was EUR 996 million and the carrying value in the balance sheet was EUR 729 million.

Effects to comparable operating profit and operating profit

Following the updated cost estimates, Fortum had in Q2 2013 a one-time effect to Comparable operating profit of EUR +4 million in Power segment due to lower forecasted nuclear waste management costs related to already spent fuel. Any cost change which is related to already spent fuel is always recognized immediately in Comparable operating profit.

Operating profit in Power 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 2013 of EUR +34 million, compared to EUR -7 million in Q2 2012. The cumulative effect 2013 was EUR +31 million compared to EUR -16 million in 2012.

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 extensive 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 for possible penalties amounts to EUR 150 million (Dec 31 2012: 178). The effect on the provision from changes in the timing of commissioning of new power plants is assessed at each balance sheet date and provision is adjusted accordingly. During Q2 EUR 10 million of the provision was reversed to the income statement relating to the finalisation of Nyagan 1. The increase in the provision due to the unwinding of the discounting during Q1-Q2 2013 amounted to EUR 7 million (Q1-Q2 2012: 7). This amount was recognised in other financial expenses. Paid penalties during Q1-Q2 2013 amounted to EUR 16 million (Q1-Q2 2012: 4).

21. Legal actions and official proceedings

The legal actions and official proceedings presented below should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012. No other material changes have occurred during Q1-Q2 2013 compared to the year-end 2012.

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 according to the new model. 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).

Fortum received income tax assessments in Sweden for the year 2009 in December 2011. The appeal process is ongoing and based on legal analysis, no provision has been accounted for in the financial statements.

Fortum Sweden AB, Fortum Nordic AB and Fortum 1 AB have received income tax assessments for the year 2010 in December 2012 from the Swedish tax authorities. According to the tax authorities, Fortum would have to pay additional income taxes for the reallocation of the loans between the Swedish subsidiaries in 2004-2005 and for financing of the acquisition of TGC 10 (current OAO Fortum) in 2008. The claims are based on the change in tax regulation as of 2009. Fortum considers the claims unjustifiable and has appealed the decisions. No provision has been recognised in the financial statements. If the decision by the tax authority remains final despite the appeals process, the impact on the net profit for the period would be approximately SEK 444 million (EUR 51 million). Years 2009 and 2010 assessments are totally SEK 869 million (EUR 99 million).

Fortum has 2012 received an income tax assessment in Belgium for the year 2008. 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. No provision has been accounted for in the financial statements. If the decision by the tax authorities remains final despite the appeal process, the impact on the net profit for the period would be approximately EUR 36 million. The tax is already paid. If the appeal is approved, Fortum will receive a 7% interest on the amount.

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

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. Installation of the other components and engineering of the plant automation system continued. Based on the progress reports of AREVA-Siemens Consortium, TVO estimates that the start of the regular electricity production of the plant unit may be postponed until year 2016. The supplier is responsible for the time schedule.

In 2012 TVO submitted a claim and defense in the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) arbitration proceedings concerning the delay and the ensuing costs incurred at the Olkiluoto 3 project. The quantification estimate of TVO's costs and losses was approximately EUR 1.8 billion, which included TVO's actual claim and estimated part. The arbitration proceedings may continue for several years and TVO's claimed amounts will be updated. The proceedings were initiated in December 2008 by the OL3 supplier, AREVA-Siemens. The supplier's latest monetary claim including indirect items and interest is approximately EUR 1.9 billion. TVO has considered and found the claim by the supplier to be without merit.

In addition to the litigations described above, some Group companies are involved in tax and other disputes incidental to their business. In management's opinion the outcome of such disputes will not have material effect on 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 2012. No material changes have occurred during year 2013.

The Finnish State owned 50.76% of the shares in Fortum 30 June 2013. There has been no change in the shareholding during 2013.
