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 2013, 80% hedged at EUR 45 per megawatt-hour (MWh); for 2014, 45% hedged at EUR 42 per MWh.

Fortum's CFO Markus Rauramo

"Fortum's first quarter comparable result was good. Group comparable operating profit totalled EUR 650 million and was at last year's first-quarter level. Net cash flow from operating activities was EUR 646 million. The cash flow improved compared to the first quarter last year, even though the stronger Swedish krona (SEK) impacted negatively. The efficiency programme that was launched in 2012 has proceeded according to plan.

In the Power Division, the effect of increased nuclear and thermal volumes combined with declined hydro volumes, due to lower water reservoir levels, and a lower achieved power price impacted the comparable result negatively. Nuclear availability was at a high level in all of the reactors except Oskarshamn 1, which was out of operation for the entire quarter.

The Heat Division's comparable operating profit in the first quarter increased compared to the first quarter in 2012. The increase was mainly attributable to the higher volumes in Sweden, lower fixed costs and a stronger SEK currency. In Finland, a new sales concept for bio-oil was launched; besides heat and electricity, bio-oil will be produced in future CHP+ plants where pyrolysis is integrated in the CHP production.

In late March, Fortum finished the final stages in the construction of its Nyagan power plant unit 1 and, after thorough analysis, we now estimate that the commissioning of Nyagan unit 2 will take place at the end of 2013 and Nyagan 3 will be finalised at the end of 2014 at the latest. The overall schedule and financial targets of the investment programme − planned to be constructed by the end of 2014 and reaching about EUR 500 million in run-rate operating profit (EBIT) during 2015 − have not been changed. The Russia Division's comparable operating profit declined in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The positive effect from the commissioning of the new units was mainly offset by lower heat volumes.

In January, Fortum announced that the company is assessing the strategic position of its electricity distribution business. The assessment is expected to be finalised during 2013. During the first quarter, the Distribution business area's comparable operating profit increased. The result increase is mainly due to higher volumes because of colder weather than last year, a stronger SEK and the costs related to the massive storm at the end of 2011 that burdened the first-quarter result in 2012. Electricity Sales' comparable operating profit in the first quarter of 2013 was very good. The result increase was mainly the result of an bigger customer base as well as favourable wholesale market conditions during the first quarter of 2013.

During the quarter, a plan to decrease the corporate tax rate in Finland from 24.5% to 20% as of 1 January 2014 was announced. The decrease would cause a one-time positive effect. The Finnish Government also announced that the planned so-called windfall tax would be cut to EUR 50 million from EUR 170 million. At the same time, the process to update and increase the real estate taxation values for the year 2013 is ongoing in Sweden and is expected to be finalised in July 2013.

In April, the European Parliament voted against the backloading of carbon emissions allowances. Fortum considers the rejection of the "backloading" as a disappointment and a setback for a common European climate policy. There is an increasing risk that the European wide market-based emission trading scheme will be replaced by other measures to price CO2, such as national carbon taxes, carbon price floors and other policies, leading to a situation where there are 27 different climate policies instead of one. In such a situation, making investment decisions on electricity generation becomes demanding, and total cost of energy would increase. Despite the negative outcome in the Parliament, the Commission is not withdrawing the proposal; it was referred back to the Parliament's Environmental Committee.

Customers, sustainability and safety are cornerstones in our daily work. The safety of our own staff was at a very good level during the first quarter, however, our contractors' safety performance need improvement. We have therefore intensified the focus on safety work with our suppliers on all levels. We met our sustainability targets on CO2 emissions, but were slightly below in fuel efficiency and

plant availability. What is satisfactory, is that we clearly met the target-availability for our electricity customers, and that the number of both our heat and electricity customers continued to increase.

We will continue with our daily work to accomplish our long-term strategy. "

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 according to plan.

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 this interim report.

Financial results

January-March

In the first quarter of 2013, Group sales were EUR 1,991 (1,901) million. The comparable operating profit totalled EUR 650 (654) million and the reported operating profit totalled EUR 603 (739) 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 -47 (85) million (Note 4).

The share of profits from associates in the first quarter was EUR 29 (-7) million. The share of profits from Hafslund and TGC-1 are based on the companies' published fourth-quarter 2012 interim reports; however, the share of profits for TGC-1 fourth-quarter 2011 results were not included in the first quarter of 2012 (Note 11).

The Group's net financial expenses decreased to EUR 73 (77) million. Net financial expenses were negatively affected by changes in the fair value of financial instruments of EUR -2 (-7) million.

Profit before taxes was EUR 559 (655) million.

Taxes for the period totalled EUR 107 (119) million. The tax rate according to the income statement was 19.2% (18.3%). The tax rate, excluding the impact of the share of profits of associated companies and joint ventures as well as non-taxable capital gains, was 20.6% (21.0%).

The profit for the period was EUR 452 (536) million. Fortum's earnings per share were EUR 0.45 (0.56), of which EUR -0.04 (0.10) per share relates to items affecting comparability. Non-controlling (minority) interests amounted to EUR 51 (39) 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 the first quarter of 2013, total net cash from operating activities increased by EUR 93 million to EUR 646 (553) million. Capital expenditures increased by EUR 15 million to EUR 287 (272) million. Proceeds from divestments totalled EUR 37 (276) million. Cash flow before financing activities, i.e. dividend distributions and financing, decreased by EUR 135 million to EUR 401 (536) million. The strong SEK 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 -108 (-84) million.

Assets and capital employed

Total assets increased by EUR 974 million to EUR 25,535 million (24,561 at year-end 2012). Noncurrent assets increased by EUR 299 million from EUR 21,677 million to EUR 21,976 million. The majority, EUR 319 million, came from the increased value of property, plants and equipment due to investments and the stronger Swedish krona and other currencies. The increase in current assets was EUR 675 million, totalling EUR 3,559 million. The increase relates mainly to the EUR 756 million increase in liquid funds and the higher trade and other receivables of EUR 39 million. The increase in current assets was partly offset by a EUR 99 million decrease in inventories.

Capital employed was EUR 20,322 million (19,420 at year-end 2012), an increase of EUR 902 million. The increase was mainly due to the higher amount of total assets, totalling EUR 25,535 million.

Equity

Total equity was EUR 11,170 million (10,643 at year-end 2012), of which equity attributable to owners of the parent company totalled EUR 10,503 (10,040) million and non-controlling interests EUR 667 (603) million.

Financing

Net debt decreased during the first quarter by EUR 371 million to EUR 7,443 (7,814 at year-end 2012) million.

In March 2013, Fortum issued two five-year bonds under its existing Euro Medium Term Note (EMTN) programme. The total nominal value was SEK 3,150 million (about EUR 376 million) consisting of SEK 2,000 million at a floating rate and SEK 1,150 million at a 2.75% fixed rate.

At the end of March 2013, the Group's cash and cash equivalents totalled 1,719 (963 at year-end 2012) million, including cash and bank deposits held by OAO Fortum amounting to EUR 169 (128 at year-end 2012) million. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, Fortum had access to approximately EUR 2.7 billion of undrawn committed credit facilities.

The Group's net financial expenses during the first quarter of 2013 were EUR 73 (77) million. Net financial expenses include changes in fair value of financial instruments of EUR -2 (-7) million.

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

In February, Fortum decided to terminate its current 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-program. 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 3.1 (3.2). Gearing was 67% (73%) and the equity-to-assets ratio 44% (43%). Equity per share was EUR 11.82 (11.30). For the last twelve months, return on capital employed was 9.1 (10.2) and return on equity 13.0 (14.6).

Market conditions

Nordic countries

According to preliminary statistics, electricity consumption in the Nordic countries during the first quarter of 2013 increased some 3% from the corresponding period in 2012 and was 117 (113) terawatt-hours (TWh). The increase was attributable to lower temperature and thus high nonindustrial consumption.

At the beginning of the year, the Nordic water reservoirs were at 85 TWh, i.e. 2 TWh above the longterm average. By the end of the first quarter, the reservoir level had declined to 35 TWh, which is 6 TWh lower than the long-term average and 21 TWh lower than the year before.

During the first quarter of 2013, the average system spot price of electricity in Nord Pool was EUR 42.0 (38.3) per megawatt-hour (MWh). The average area price in Finland was EUR 42.1 (42.5) per MWh, and in Sweden (SE3) EUR 42.0 (39.1) per MWh. The growing deficit in the hydro reservoirs raised prices especially in the hydro-intensive areas, which led to smaller differences between these areas and other Nordic price areas. Imports from Russia decreased during the Russian peak hours.

In Germany, the average spot price during the first quarter of 2013 was EUR 42.3 (45.1) per MWh.

At the beginning of 2013, the market price for CO2 European emission allowances (EUA) was approximately EUR 6.6 per tonne. During the first quarter, EUA traded between approximately EUR 3.4 and 6.7 per tonne, and closed at around EUR 4.8 per tonne. The volatility of the CO2 emission price was mainly due to the European Parliament's ENVI Committee's meeting and voting, as well as news flow concerning backloading.

Russia

OAO Fortum operates in the Tyumen and Chelyabinsk areas. In the Tyumen area, where industrial production is dominated by the oil and gas industries, the electricity demand increased approximately 4% in the first quarter compared to the same period of the previous year. During the same period in the Chelyabinsk area, which is dominated by the metals industry, electricity demand decreased by approximately 3%, mainly due to decreasing demand from the steel industry.

According to preliminary statistics, Russia consumed 288 (293) TWh of electricity during the first quarter of 2013. The corresponding figure in Fortum's operating area in the First price zone (European and Urals part of Russia) was 213 (217) TWh.

In the first quarter of 2013, the average electricity spot price, excluding capacity price, increased by approximately 10% to RUB 1,002 (915) per MWh in the First price zone compared to the first quarter in 2012.

More detailed information about the market fundamentals is included in the tables at the end of the report (page 49).

January−March

In the first quarter of 2013, the Power Division's comparable operating profit was EUR 303 (342) million, i.e. EUR 39 million lower than in the corresponding period in 2012.

Operating profit, EUR 263 (368) million, was affected by a capital gain EUR 4 (47) million, nonrecurring items, IFRS accounting treatment (IAS 39) of derivatives mainly used for hedging Fortum's power generation totalling EUR -41 (-12) million, and nuclear fund adjustments (Note 4).

The system price and Swedish area prices were higher, but the Finnish area prices slightly lower during the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The average system spot price of electricity in Nord Pool was EUR 42.0 (38.3) per MWh. The average area price in Helsinki, Finland, was EUR 42.1 (42.5) per MWh and in Stockholm, Sweden, (SE3) EUR 42.0 (39.1) per MWh. Power's achieved Nordic power price, was EUR 45.7 (47.2) per MWh, or EUR 1.5 per MWh lower than in the corresponding period in 2012.

Fortum's hydro production during the first quarter of 2013 was 0.3 TWh lower than in the first quarter of 2012. At the beginning of the year, the Nordic water reservoir levels were at 85 TWh, i.e. 2 TWh above the long-term average. By the end of the first quarter, the reservoir levels had declined to 35 TWh, 6 TWh lower than the long-term average and 21 TWh lower than last year.

Fortum's nuclear production was 0.2 TWh higher than in the first quarter of 2012, mainly due to higher production in Oskarshamn 3. The company's thermal production volume in the Nordic countries was also higher (0.5 TWh) than in the first quarter of 2012. Hence, the CO2-free production amounted to 93% (96%).

In the first quarter of 2013, the division's total power generation in the Nordic countries was 13.2 (12.8) TWh, some 3% higher than in the corresponding period in 2012.

The effect of increased nuclear and thermal volumes combined with lower hydro volumes and a lower achieved power price had a negative impact of approximately EUR 20 million during the first quarter in 2013 compared to the corresponding period 2012. During the first quarter, operating costs increased by approximately EUR 17 million, mainly due to higher SEK (EUR 6 million) and higher taxation values concerning Swedish hydro assets, which are to be confirmed in July 2013.

Fortum has two fully-owned reactors in Loviisa and is a co-owner in eight reactors at the Olkiluoto, Oskarshamn and Forsmark nuclear power plants. Nuclear availability was at a high level in all of the reactors except in Oskarshamn 1, which was out of operation throughout the entire first quarter 2013. The unit was shut down in December 2012 due to a failure in the periodic test of emergency diesel generators and, according to current data, the unit will stay shut down until the end of May 2013. Oskarshamn 3 has been running smoothly, and in March the monthly production from the unit was at the highest since the plant started commercial operation in 1985. At Forsmark 2, commissioning tests in advance of its power upgrade from 996 MW to 1,120 MW started in March; the new upgraded capacity output is expected to be in operation in May.

Heat

The Heat Division consists of combined heat and power (CHP) generation, district heating activities and business-to-business heating solutions in the Nordic countries and other parts of the Baltic Rim.

January−March

The Heat Division's heat sales volumes amounted to 8.2 (8.1) TWh during the first quarter of 2013. During the same period, power sales volumes totalled 1.7 (1.7) TWh. The increase in heat volumes was attributable to somewhat colder weather and good availability in base production, particularly in Sweden. In Finland, restructurings in the beginning of last year reduced heat and steam volumes.

The Heat Division's comparable operating profit in the first quarter was EUR 170 (162) million, EUR 8 million more than in the corresponding period of 2012. The increase was mainly attributable to the higher volumes in Sweden, lower fixed costs and stronger SEK currency.

Operating profit in the first quarter totalled EUR 175 (214) million. Sales gains related to divestments totalled EUR 0 (58) million.

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

The liberalisation of the Russian wholesale power market has been completed since the beginning of 2011. However, all generating companies continue to sell a part of their electricity and capacity – an amount equalling the consumption of households and a few special groups of consumers – under regulated prices. During the first quarter of 2013, Fortum sold approximately 83% 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 minimal 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 15).

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 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 of about EUR 500 million in its Russia Division and to create positive economic value added in Russia.

January−March

The Russia Division's power sales volumes amounted to 7.4 (6.2) TWh during the first quarter of 2013. Heat sales totalled 9.7 (11.3) TWh during the same period.

The Russia Division's comparable operating profit was EUR 41 (48) million in the first quarter of 2013. The positive effect from the new units, receiving CSA payments, amounted to approximately EUR 29 (24) million in the first quarter. The main reasons for the decreased result were lower heat volumes, which were a result of an especially warm winter in 2013 in the Chelyabinsk area, and the divestment of the heating network assets in Surgut in 2012. In addition, the good hydrological situation in Russia pressured electricity spot prices.

Operating profit was EUR 40 (48) million in the first quarter of 2013.

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 in the Tyumen energy system with an efficiency rate exceeding 57%.

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 has worked hard to resolve the construction delays in Nyagan; after thorough analysis, the company now 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 regards to both capital and operational expenditures, and received electricity sales as well as 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 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.

The last two units of Fortum's Russian investment programme 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.

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.

January−March

The volume of distribution and regional network transmissions during the first quarter of 2013 totalled 8.6 (8.3) TWh and 4.8 (4.9) TWh, respectively. The higher distribution network transmission volumes were a result of a cold January and March this year.

The Distribution business area's comparable operating profit was EUR 137 (110) million. The result increase is mainly due to higher volumes because of colder weather than last year, a stronger SEK and the costs related to the massive storm at the end of 2011 that burdened the first-quarter result in 2012.

Operating profit in the first quarter of 2013 totalled EUR 136 (117) million.

In January, Fortum announced that the company 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.

The rollout of smart metering with hourly measurement capabilities to network customers in Finland continued as planned. By the end of the first quarter of 2013, approximately 487,000 customers had received new meters (434,000 at the end of 2012). By the end of this year, a total of approximately 620,000 network customers will have smart metering. Invoicing based on actual electricity consumption and better control of the use of electricity are among the benefits of the new system.

A new network income regulation came into effect both in Finland and Sweden on 1 January 2012, covering the current regulatory period 2012-2015. In Finland, the industry appealed the decision introduced by the Energy Market Authority (EMV) to the Market Court. The Market Court ruling came in December 2012. The process continues, since Fingrid, the national transmission system operator, decided to appeal the Market Court ruling regarding the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) to the Supreme Administrative Court. The outcome is still pending.

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 currently in parliament and is expected to be in force from 1 July 2013. Also, gradual increases of 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 750 euros to 2000 euros by 2015.

In Sweden, the Energy Market Inspectorate (EI) introduced a new network income regulation model with a first ex ante regulatory period of 2012-2015 and with an income decided by EI in advance. Among other things, the new model introduced a transition rule that Fortum and approximately half of the Swedish network companies believe lacks legal ground. The network companies therefore appealed the new network regulation. During the fall, EI agreed to some adjustments to the model. A second commenting round is on-going as a preparation for the court process. The court ruling is expected by the end of 2013.

January−March

During the first quarter of 2013, the business area's electricity volume sales to retail customers totalled 4.4 (4.2) TWh and Sales Trading 0.4 (0.3) TWh (reported until 2012 in other segment). The higher volume to retail customers was due to colder than normal weather in January and March.

Electricity Sales' comparable operating profit in the first quarter of 2013 totalled EUR 15 (9) million. The increase was mainly a result of colder than normal weather in January and March, an increased customer base as well as favourable wholesale market conditions in the first quarter.

Operating profit totalled EUR 5 (11) million and was affected by non-recurring items and 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 222 (218) million in the first quarter of 2013. Investments, excluding acquisitions, were EUR 221 (218) million.

Fortum expects to start the supply of power and heat from new power plants and to upgrade existing plants as follows:

Power

Through its interest in Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO), Fortum is participating in the building of Olkiluoto 3, 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 Olkiluoto 3 may be postponed until 2016.

In February, the Board of Directors of TVO proposed a new shareholder loan commitment of EUR 300 million to the shareholders of the company. Fortum's share in TVO's Olkiluoto 3 (OL3) project is about 25%. By means of the proposed new shareholder loan, the company is prepared to maintain a sufficient level of equity for the OL3 project, cope with possible additional delays and possible additional costs in finalising the project. TVO has committed to finance the OL3 project so that the shareholders' share of the share capital or shareholder loans is kept at the minimum of 25% .

Heat

In January, the cornerstone was laid in Stockholm 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 March, the new waste-fuelled Klaipeda CHP plant in Lithuania reached full-capacity operation, and the plant was taken into commercial operation. The formal inauguration will take place during May.

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

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 from 1 April 2013 onwards. The unit's capacity was certified to exceed 420 MW and is one of the most energy-efficient units in the Tyumen energy system with an efficiency rate exceeding 57%.

Shares and share capital

Fortum Corporation is listed on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. In January-March 2013, a total of 165.2 (157.2) million Fortum Corporation shares, totalling EUR 2,399 million, were traded on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. The highest quotation of Fortum Corporation shares during the reporting period was EUR 16.38, the lowest EUR 13.10, and the volume-weighted average was EUR 14.52. The closing quotation on the last trading day of the first quarter of 2013 was EUR 15.72 (18.20). Fortum's market capitalisation, calculated using the closing quotation on the last trading day of the quarter, was EUR 13,965 million.

In addition to the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd., Fortum shares were traded on several alternative market places, for example at Boat, BATS Chi-X and Turquoise, and on the OTC market. During January-March 2013, approximately 54% of Fortum's traded shares were traded on markets other than NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd.

At the end of the first quarter 2013, Fortum Corporation's share capital was EUR 3,046,185,953 and the total number of registered shares was 888,367,045. Fortum Corporation did not own its own shares. The number of registered shareholders was 134,541. The Finnish State's holding in Fortum was 50.8%, and the proportion of nominee registrations and direct foreign shareholders was 23.6% at the end of the review period.

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

Group personnel

Fortum's operations are mainly based in the Nordic countries, Russia and the Baltic Rim area. The total number of employees at the end of the period was 10,313 (10,371 at year-end 2012).

At the end of the first quarter 2013, the Power Division had 1,884 (1,846) employees, the Heat Division 2,192 (2,212), the Russia Division 4,284 (4,253), the Distribution business area 866 (870), the Electricity Sales business area 502 (509) and Other 585 (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.

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. The company's sustainability approach consists of Group-level 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.

The renewed 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 and the STOXX Global ESG Leaders, the NASDAQ OMX and OMX GES Sustainability Finland indices.

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, goods 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, and 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 carbon-dioxide emissions, energy efficiency and environmental performance management. The achievements of the environmental targets are monitored through monthly, quarterly and annual reporting. During the first quarter 2013, ISO certifications for the Polish plants in Zabrze and Bytom were completed. All Fortum's Polish operations are now ISO-certified. At the end of March 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 comprise specific CO2 emissions from power generation in the EU of below 80 grams per kilowatt-hour (g/kWh) and specific CO2 emissions from the total energy production (electricity and heat) of below 200 g/kWh, covering all operating countries. Both targets are calculated as a five-year average. At the end of March 2013, the fiveyear average for specific CO2 emissions from power generation in the EU was at 62 g/kWh and the specific CO2 emissions from the total energy production was at 180 g/kWh, both better than the target level.

Fortum's total CO2 emissions in January-March 2013 amounted to 7.1 (6.6) million tonnes (Mt), of which 2.3 (1.9) Mt were within the EU's emissions trading scheme (ETS). As of 2013, electricity production does not receive free allowances in the EU ETS. The Commission has not yet confirmed the free allocation for heat and other industrial sectors for 2013. The European Commission has not yet confirmed the allocation of free emission allowances for 2013. The preliminary estimate for Fortum is about 2.9 Mt, which is clearly less than the 5.4 Mt in 2012.

Fortum's energy-efficiency target is to raise the overall efficiency in fuel use to 70% as a five-year average. In January-March 2013, the overall efficiency of fuel use was 69% (72%) and the five-year average after March was 67% (68%), which is below the target.

Fortum's target is to have less than 40 major environmental incidents annually. In January-March 2013, 11 (8) environmental incidents took place in Fortum's operations. This includes 4 leaks or spills of oil into the environment, 3 fires, one explosion and one INES 1 nuclear incident (INES=International Nuclear Event Scale). None of these incidents caused material damage or liability to Fortum.

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

In January-March 2013 the average energy availability of the Heat Division's CHP plants was 91% (93%), slightly below the annual target level of 92%. In electricity distribution, the cumulative SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index) was 21 (32) minutes, while the annual target is less than 110 minutes.

In January-March 2013, the Group-level lost workday injury frequency (LWIF) improved to 0.9 (1.3). Fortum's safety target is to reach an LWIF level that is less than one per million working hours for its own personnel. This reflects the Group's zero tolerance for accidents.

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 among 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.

Events after the balance sheet date

In April, 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.

In addition, in mid-April, the European Parliament rejected the proposal to temporarily withdraw 900 million emission allowances from the market (so called backloading) by 334 votes against vs. 315 in favour. The Commission will not withdraw the proposal, and the proposal was referred back to the Parliament's leading Environmental Committee.

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 first quarter of 2013, the price of coal and CO2 emissions allowances (EUA) declined clearly. The forward price of electricity for the upcoming twelve months increased in the Nordic area but decreased in Germany. The Nordic prices for the rest of 2013 are clearly above the short run marginal cost of coal-fired production, due to the low Nordic hydrological balance, which is a result of exceptionally low precipitation over winter.

In late April 2013, the future quotations for coal (ICE Rotterdam) for the rest of 2013 were around USD 80 per tonne, and the market price for CO2 emissions allowances (EUA) for 2013 was about EUR 3 per tonne.

In late April 2013, the electricity forward price in Nord Pool for the rest of 2013 was around EUR 37 per MWh. For 2014, the electricity forward price was around EUR 36 per MWh and for 2015 around EUR 35 per MWh. In Germany, the electricity forward price for the rest of 2013 was around EUR 37 per MWh and for 2014 EUR 39 per MWh.

In late April 2013, Nordic water reservoirs were about 7 TWh below the long-term average and 21 TWh below the corresponding level of 2012.

Power

The Power Division's Nordic power price typically depends on such factors as the 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 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 amount and its profit.

The several years of ongoing Swedish nuclear investment programmes 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 Russian wholesale power market is liberalised. However, all generating companies continue to sell a part of their electricity and capacity equalling the consumption of households and a special group of consumers (Northern Caucasus Republic, Tyva Republic, Buryat Republic) under regulated prices.

The generation capacity CSA built after 2007 under government receives guaranteed 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 Capacity Supply Agreements (CSA – "new capacity") competes in 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 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 minimal 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 Capacity Supply Agreement. 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 has worked hard to resolve the construction delays in Nyagan; after thorough analysis, the company now estimates the commissioning of 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 regards to both capital and operational expenditures, and received electricity sales as well as 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.

In 2012, Fortum announced its decision to build the last two units of its Russian investment programme at Chelyabinsk in the Urals. Initially, the units were planned for construction in the Tyumen region in western Siberia. The units are included within the sphere of the Capacity Supply Agreement originally agreed in 2008 and are to be constructed at the Chelyabinsk GRES power plant. Fortum also plans to modernise and upgrade the existing power plant equipment.

The value of the remaining part of the investment programme, calculated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of March 2013, is estimated to be approximately EUR 490 million as of April 2013.

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. 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 (FST) 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. According to FST, this reduction follows the decrease in the estimated price of Russian natural gas in Europe. The reduction in the gas price has been driven by the price drop in heating oil, especially fuel oil, in Europe. Since the beginning of 2013, wholesale gas prices (except private household and industrial consumers) have been reviewed quarterly, following quarterly updates of fuel oil and gas oil prices in the nine-month period in Europe. According to applicable legislation, the price for natural gas will increase 15% year-on-year.

Efficiency programme 2013-2014

Due to the increasingly demanding business environment, Fortum started an efficiency programme in order to maintain and strengthen strategic flexibility and competitiveness and to enable the company to reach its financial targets in the future.

The aim is to improve the company's cash flow by more than approximately EUR 1 billion during 2013—2014 by reducing capital expenditures (capex) by EUR 250—350 million, divesting approximately EUR 500 million of non-core assets, reducing fixed costs and focusing on working capital efficiency. At the end of 2014, the cost run-rate will be approximately EUR 150 million lower compared to 2012, including growth projects.

The Board's decision to review the strategic position of the electricity distribution business does not change the basics of the efficiency programme, which will continue as originally planned.

Capital expenditure

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% starting 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% starting 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 July 2013. It is estimated, based on the latest Swedish Government budget proposal, 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.

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 March 2013, approximately 80% of the Power Division's estimated Nordic power sales volume was hedged at approximately EUR 45 per MWh for the rest of the year 2013. The

corresponding figures for the calendar year 2014 were about 45% 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 62 million during Q1 2013 (Q1 2012: 207) mainly relating to RUB and SEK amounting to EUR 77 million in Q1 2013 (in Q1 2012 mainly relating to RUB: 181).

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 2013 (Q1 2012: 23), 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. These Financial statements do not reflect this dividend. 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 mainly consist of adjustments for unrealised fair value changes of derivatives EUR 46 million (Q1 2012: 16) and capital gains EUR -4 million (Q1 2012: -110). 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 EUR -108 million for Q1 2013 (Q1 2012: -84) mainly related 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.

Restated quarterly information for 2012 (including effects for segments) is presented in the attachment to this interim report. The following table summarises the adjustments made to the statement of financial position.

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, 12, 13 and 16.

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.

Nuclear related provisions

The liability regarding the Loviisa nuclear power plant is calculated according to the Nuclear Energy Act and was decided by the Ministry of Employment and Economy in December 2012. The liability is based on a technical plan, which is made every third year. The technical plan and the cost estimates were last updated in Q2 2010. New technical plan has been published and the related cost estimates will be updated in Q2 2013.

The legal liability on 31 March 2013 was EUR 996 million. The provision in the balance sheet related to nuclear waste management is based on cash flows for future costs which uses the same basis as the legal liability. The carrying value of the nuclear provision, calculated according to IAS 37, increased by EUR 6 million compared to 31 December 2012, totalling EUR 684 million on 31 March 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 paid after the interim reporting the fee of EUR 40 million at 2 April 2013 whereafter Fortum's share of the State Nuclear Waste Management Fund is fully funded. The Fund is from an IFRS perspective overfunded with EUR 272 million, since Fortum's share of the Fund on 31 March 2013 was EUR 956 million and the carrying value in the balance sheet was EUR 684 million.

Effects to comparable operating profit and 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 Q1 2013 of EUR -3 million, compared to EUR -9 million in Q1 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 173 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. The increase in the provision due to the discounting during Q1 2013 amounted to EUR 4 million. This amount was recognised in other financial expenses. Paid penalties during Q1 2013 amounted to EUR 11 million (Q1 2012: 0).

20. 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 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 53 million). Years 2009 and 2010 assessments are totally SEK 869 million (EUR 104 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 current 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.

21. 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 Q1 2013.

The Finnish State owned 50.76% of the shares in Fortum 31 March 2013. There has been no change in the shareholding during 2013.
