"The business environment is extremely demanding and the hydrological situation is putting additional pressure on Nordic prices, which are clearly lower than a year ago. At the same time especially the prolonged outages in Oskarshamn Sweden, has burdened the result significantly. Group comparable operating profit totalled EUR 220 million in the third quarter and was weak as we expected, but still unacceptable.
Fortum has therefore launched an efficiency programme in order to maintain and strengthen its strategic flexibility and competitiveness and to enable the company to continue to reach its financial targets. Targeted actions will increase the efficiency of our core processes and lead to cost reductions.
The economic situation in Europe and globally – and the uncertainty regarding its duration – has affected Fortum and its business operations. External pressures and cost increases affecting the company are making it necessary for us to further develop the efficiency of our operations. According to the European utilities (Eurelectric Gallup poll), political and market risks are currently the biggest risk factors in the power sector. In addition, discussion and decision making around EU emissions trading and CO2 emission allowances have created uncertainty concerning the future carbon market. Also in the Nordic countries, the political climate has become less supportive towards CO2-free generation not dependent on subsidies, i.e. hydro and nuclear generation. In economically uncertain times, political predictability and consistency would be more valuable than ever.
In order to ensure the company's strategic flexibility and competitiveness, the aim is to improve the company's cash flow more than EUR 1 billion during 2013 – 2014, by reducing capital expenditures, divesting non-core assets, reducing fixed costs and through focus on working capital efficiency. Unfortunately, the efficiency programme may have an effect on our personnel. If headcount reductions are needed, they will be implemented on unit level by using natural rotation, rearranging of vacant jobs and by retirement, whenever possible.
Fortum's purpose is to create energy that improves life for present and future generations, the aim is to build on our strong Nordic core business, create solid earnings growth in Russia and build a platform for future growth."
Due to the increasingly demanding business environment, Fortum has 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.
Capex in 2013 will be EUR 1.1 – 1.4 billion and in 2014 EUR 0.9 – 1.1 billion. In 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 them, by using natural rotation and retirement whenever possible. The assessments will therefore be done at a unit level.
In the third quarter of 2012, Group sales were EUR 1,140 (1,144) million. The comparable operating profit totalled EUR 220 (297) million. Group operating profit totalled EUR 223 (314) 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 3 (17) million (Note 4).
The share of profits from associates in the third quarter was EUR 7 (-2) million. The share of profits from Hafslund and TGC-1 are based on the companies' published second-quarter interim reports (Note 12).

In January-September, Group sales were EUR 4,325 (4,494) million. The comparable operating profit totalled EUR 1,152 (1,294) million. Group operating profit totalled EUR 1,242 (1,823) 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 90 (529) million (Note 4).
Non-recurring items, mark-to-market effects and nuclear fund adjustments in January-September 2012 amounted to EUR 90 (529) million. Changes in fair values of derivatives hedging future cash flow accounted for EUR -8 (272) million. Non-recurring items totalled EUR 122 (275) million and were mainly related to the divestments of shares in power and heat operations (Note 4).
The share of profits of associates and joint ventures was EUR 26 (72) million. The decrease from last year was mainly due to the lower share of profits from Hafslund ASA, and TGC-1 as well as the share of profits from Fingrid Oyj, which was divested during Q2 2011(Note 12).
The Group's net financial expenses increased to EUR 231 (199) million. The increase is attributable to higher interest expenses, mainly due to higher SEK interest rates and to higher average net debt in 2012 than during the comparable period in 2011. Net financial expenses were also negatively affected by changes in the fair value of financial instruments of EUR 16 (2) million.
Profit before taxes was EUR 1,037 (1,696) million.
Taxes for the period totalled EUR 195 (278) million. The tax rate according to the income statement was 18.8% (16.4%). 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 21.2% (20.8%).
The profit for the period was EUR 842 (1,418) million. Fortum's earnings per share were EUR 0.91 (1.52), of which EUR 0.11 (0.49) per share relates to items affecting comparability; in 2011 the impact of the sale of the Fingrid shares was EUR 192 million.
Non-controlling (minority) interests amounted to EUR 36 (70) million. These are mainly attributable to Fortum Värme Holding AB, in which the city of Stockholm has a 50% economic interest. The decrease compared to last year is mainly due to the minority's share, EUR 32 million, of the gain recognised in the first quarter 2011 from the divestment of Fortum Värme's heat businesses outside the Stockholm area.
In January-September 2012, total net cash from operating activities decreased by EUR 158 million to EUR 983 (1,141) million. Capital expenditures in cash flow increased by EUR 55 million to EUR 919 (864) million. Proceeds from divestments totalled EUR 315 (574 ) million in cash flow. Cash flow before financing activities, i.e. dividend distributions and financing, decreased by EUR 448 million to EUR 345 (793) million. The strong SEK during the first three quarters had a negative impact on the cash flow through realised net foreign exchange losses amounting to EUR -233 (-215) million related to rollover of foreign exchange contracts hedging loans to Fortum Swedish subsidiaries.
During the reporting period, dividends totalling EUR 888 million were paid on 23 April 2012 using the cash and cash equivalents.
Total assets increased by EUR 1,147 million to EUR 24,145 (22,998 at year-end 2011) million. Noncurrent assets increased by EUR 1,266 million from EUR 20,210 million to EUR 21,476 million. The majority, EUR 1,057 million, came from the increased value of property, plants and equipment; due to the investments, strengthening Swedish krona and other currencies. The decrease in current assets was EUR 119 million, totalling EUR 2,669 million. The majority of the decrease relates to the lower trade and other receivables EUR 281 million and EUR 183 million decrease in assets held for sale relating to divestments closed during January-September. The decrease in current assets was partly offset with an increase in the amount of cash and cash equivalents, EUR 386 million.
Capital employed was EUR 19,120 (17,931 at year-end 2011) million, an increase of EUR 1,189 million. The increase was mainly due to the higher amount of total assets totalling EUR 1,147 million.
Total equity was EUR 10,239 (10,161 at year-end 2011) million, of which equity attributable to owners of the parent company totalled EUR 9,675 (9,632 at year-end 2011) million and noncontrolling interests EUR 564 (529 at year-end 2011) million.
Net debt increased during the third quarter by EUR 344 million to EUR 7,764 (7,023 at year-end 2011) million.
In August, Fortum Corporation issued a EUR 1,000 million ten-year Eurobond under its EMTN (Euro Medium Term Note) programme. The bond carries a coupon of 2.25%.
At the end of September 2012, the Group's liquid funds totalled EUR 1,117 (747 at year-end 2011) million. Liquid funds include cash and bank deposits held by OAO Fortum amounting to EUR 202 (211 at year-end 2011) million. In addition to the liquid funds, Fortum had access to approximately EUR 2.7 billion of undrawn committed credit facilities.
The Group's net financial expenses during January - September 2012 were EUR 231 (199) million. The increase in financial expenses is mainly attributable to higher market interest rates for the Group's Swedish krona (SEK) and Russian rouble (RUB) denominated debt and a higher total
average net debt. Net financial expenses include changes in the fair value of financial instruments of EUR -16 (-2) million.
Fortum Corporation's long-term credit rating from S&P, A (negative) and Fortum Corporation's longterm credit rating from Moody's, A2 (stable), remained unchanged.
For the last twelve months, net debt to EBITDA was 3.1 (2.3 at year-end 2011) and comparable net debt to EBITDA 3.4 (3.0 at year-end 2011), impacted by EUR 888 million in dividend payments. Gearing was 76% (69% at year-end 2011) and the equity-to-assets ratio 42% (44% at year-end 2011). For the last twelve months, return on capital employed was 10.4% (14.8% at year-end 2011) and return on equity 13.1% (19.7% at year-end 2011). Equity per share was EUR 10.89 (10.84 at year-end 2011).
Exceptionally high annual precipitation volumes inflated the Nordic water reservoirs and depressed the power prices during the third quarter of 2012. Average area prices for Fortum's key areas, Finland and Sweden (SE3), stayed above the system price from August through September.
According to preliminary statistics, electricity consumption in the Nordic countries during the third quarter was 80 (81) terawatt-hours (TWh), i.e. some 1.0 % lower than during the same period in 2011. This was attributable to lower industrial consumption, while non-industrial consumption was fairly flat. In January–September, electricity consumption in the Nordic countries was 280 (282) terawatt-hours (TWh), i.e. some 0.5 % lower than the year before.
At the beginning of the year, the Nordic water reservoirs were at 95 TWh, i.e. 12 TWh above the long-term average. At the beginning of the third quarter, the Nordic water reservoirs were at 86 TWh, i.e. 2 TWh above the long-term average and 3 TWh above the corresponding level in 2011. Laterthan-average snow melting contributed to water reservoirs during the third quarter. By the end of the quarter, the reservoirs were 109 TWh, 8 TWh above the long-term average and 5 TWh above the corresponding level in 2011.
During the third quarter, the average system spot price of electricity in Nord Pool was EUR 20.8 (36.0) per megawatt-hour (MWh). The average area prices in Finland were EUR 30.9 (43.4) per MWh, and in Sweden (SE3) 23.2 (38.1) per MWh. The hydrological surplus as well as maintenance related and unplanned restrictions in the transmission capacity created differences in area prices, pressuring prices particularly in the hydropower intensive regions. In addition, the spot price in Finland was impacted by the reduced import of electricity from Russia.
During January-September 2012, the average system spot price was EUR 29.2 (51.5) per MWh. The average area price in Finland was EUR 35.3 (53.4) per MWh and in Sweden (SE3) EUR 30.6 (52.1) per MWh. The Fenno-Skan 2 connection between Finland and Sweden was down from 17 February to 25 April, which affected Finnish prices during that period and widened price area differences.
In Germany, the average spot price during the third quarter of 2012 was EUR 43.5 (49.2) per MWh and during January–September 2012 EUR 43.0 (51.6) per MWh.
At the beginning of the year, the market price for CO2 emission allowances (EUA) was approximately EUR 6.6 per tonne. At the end of the third quarter, CO2 emission allowances closed at approximately EUR 8.0 per tonne. The highest quoted price during January–September was approximately EUR 9.5 per tonne and the lowest EUR 6.2 per tonne.
OAO Fortum operates in the Tyumen and Chelyabinsk areas. Both in the Tyumen 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 third quarter compared to the same period of the previous year.
According to preliminary statistics, Russia consumed 229 (226) TWh of electricity during the third quarter of 2012. The corresponding figure in Fortum's operating area in the First price zone (European and Urals part of Russia) was 172 (170) TWh.
In January-September, Russia consumed 753 (741) TWh of electricity. The corresponding figure in Fortum's operating area in the First price zone (European and Urals part of Russia) was 560 (553) TWh.
In the third quarter of 2012, the average electricity spot price, excluding capacity price, increased by 15% to RUB 1,143 (993) per MWh in the First price zone.
In January-September 2012, the average electricity spot price, excluding capacity price, decreased by 3% to RUB 988 (1,014) 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 52).

In the third quarter of 2012, the Power Division's comparable operating profit was EUR 201 (268) million, i.e. EUR 67 million lower than in the corresponding period in 2011. The system and all area prices were clearly lower during the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. The average system spot price of electricity in Nord Pool was EUR 20.8 (36.0) per MWh. The average area price in Helsinki, Finland, was EUR 30.9 (43.4) per MWh and in Stockholm, Sweden, (SE3) EUR 23.2 (38.1) per MWh. The lower prices impacted the achieved power price, which was EUR 39.7 per MWh, EUR 4.6 per MWh lower than in the corresponding period in 2011. In addition, the Power Division's result was burdened mainly by the weak performance at the Oskarshamn nuclear power plant unit 1. In Sweden, prolonged repairs of Oskarshamn unit 1 were ongoing and caused a reduction in production volumes. The impact of price- and prolonged repairs was partly offset by the increased hydro generation. The hydro production was historically high for a quarter, which also led to lower physical optimisation hydro margins. Water reservoir levels were high, but inflow in the third quarter was approximately at the same level compared to the corresponding period in 2011. During the third quarter of 2012, Fortum thermal production volume in the Nordic countries was very low.
Operating profit, EUR 205 (273) million, was affected by non-recurring items, a EUR 12 (11) million IFRS accounting treatment (IAS 39) of derivatives mainly used for hedging Fortum's power production and nuclear fund adjustments (Note 4).
In the third quarter of 2012, the division's total power generation in the Nordic countries was 11.5 (11.5) TWh, which is at the same level as in the corresponding period in 2011. Power's achieved Nordic power price amounted to EUR 39.7 per MWh, which was EUR 4.6 per MWh lower than in the third quarter of 2011. The high area price hedging level affected the achieved price.
The negative effect of lower nuclear volumes and the lower achieved power price in spite of higher hydro volumes was approximately EUR 45 million during the third quarter of 2012 compared to the corresponding period in 2011. Operating costs increased by approximately EUR 20 million due to the stronger SEK (EUR 12 million) and higher nuclear fuel costs as well as higher nuclear waste fees in Sweden. In addition, longer outage costs, higher co-owned nuclear procurement costs due to increased depreciation and interest costs impacted the operating cost level.
In January-September 2012, the Power Division's comparable operating profit was EUR 764 (850) million, i.e. EUR 86 million lower than in the corresponding period in 2011. The achieved power price was EUR 2.8 per MWh lower than in the corresponding period in 2011, as the system and all area prices were clearly lower in January-September 2012 than during the same period a year ago. The average system spot price was EUR 29.2 (51.5) per MWh and the average area price in Helsinki, Finland, EUR 35.3 (53.4) per MWh, and in Stockholm, Sweden, (SE3) EUR 30.6 (52.1) per MWh. High water reservoir levels as well as high inflow increased hydro generation significantly. Nuclear availability was at a high level in all reactors except Oskarshamn 1 in Sweden; it has been shut down for the whole year 2012. The total nuclear volume was thus lower than during the corresponding period in 2011. Thermal production was clearly lower than a year before, due to low power prices.
Operating profit was EUR 786 (1 033) million. A gain of EUR 47 million, related to the divestments of small hydro plants in Finland, was booked in the first quarter of 2012. Operating profit was also affected by a EUR -1 (199) million IFRS accounting treatment (IAS 39) of derivatives used mainly for hedging Fortum's power production and nuclear fund adjustments (Note 4).
The combined effect of increased hydro generation, lower nuclear and thermal volumes as well as a lower achieved power price had a negative impact of approximately EUR 25 million during January-September 2012 compared to the corresponding period in 2011. Operating costs increased by approximately EUR 60 million, mainly due to a stronger SEK (EUR 14 million), higher nuclear fuel prices, higher nuclear waste fees in Sweden, longer outage costs, higher co-owned nuclear procurement costs mainly caused by longer outages, increased depreciation and interest costs.
In January-September, the prolonged shutdown of Oskarshamn 1 in Sweden has had an over EUR 30 million negative impact, mainly due to lost production, but also due to somewhat higher costs. For the full year 2012, the increase in waste fees is estimated to be approximately EUR 15 million and the increase in nuclear fuel prices approximately EUR 15 million.
In January-September 2012, the division's total power generation in the Nordic countries was 35.4 (34.9) TWh. Power's achieved Nordic power price amounted to EUR 43.7 per MWh, which was EUR 2.8 per MWh lower than in the same period of 2011. The system price and both Finnish and Swedish area prices were clearly lower during January-September 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.
Fortum has two fully-owned reactors in Loviisa and the company is also 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 Oskarshamn 1 and 3. Oskarshamn 1 was shut down at the end of October 2011 for an extensive turbine overhaul and, according to current data, is estimated to be back in operation in November 2012. Oskarshamn 3 has continued the commissioning tests after the successfully executed and tested recovery actions to stabilise production at the increased power level of 1,400 MW. Some of the power increase-related tests have not yet been completed.
European-wide safety evaluations have been carried out after the Fukushima incident in 2011. As part of the evaluations, so-called peer reviews were carried out in several European nuclear power plants, including the Loviisa nuclear power plant, in March 2012. The results from the evaluations were announced during the summer and some additional safety criteria will be introduced for nuclear power plants based on the evaluations. However, they will be implemented for the Loviisa nuclear power plant within the framework of the annual investment programmes.
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.

The Heat Division's heat sales volumes amounted to 1.9 (2.1) TWh during the third quarter of 2012. During the same period, power sales volumes totalled 0.4 (0.8) TWh. The decrease in volumes was mainly attributable to the divestments in Finland and Estonia in January 2012. In addition, the restructuring of the Turku region energy production in Finland decreased volumes.
The Heat Division's comparable operating profit in the third quarter was EUR -11 (-14) million, EUR 3 million higher than in the corresponding period of 2011. Volumes were lower due to restructuring; the decline was offset by higher sales of CO2 emission allowances and by the stronger SEK compared to the same period last year.
Operating profit in the third quarter totalled EUR -12 (-10) million.
Heat sales volumes during January-September 2012 amounted to 13.3 (16.1) TWh. During the same period, power sales volumes totalled 2.9 (4.7) TWh. The divestment in Sweden in March 2011 and the divestments in Finland and Estonia in January 2012 reduced volumes. In addition, the restructuring of the Turku region energy production in Finland decreased volumes.
The Heat Division's comparable operating profit in January-September 2012 was EUR 173 (182) million, i.e., EUR 9 million lower than in the corresponding period of 2011. The decrease in the result was mainly due to lower volumes attributable to divestments and restructuring.
Operating profit in January-September 2012 totalled EUR 221 (280) million, and includes a gain of EUR 57 (79) million related to divestments.

OAO 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 third quarter of 2012, OAO Fortum sold approximately 81% of its power production at a liberalised electricity price.
The capacity selection for generation built prior to 2008 (CCS -"old capacity") for year 2012 was held in September 2011. The majority of Fortum's power plants were selected in the auction, with a price level close to the level received in 2011. Approximately 4% (120 MW) of Fortum's old capacity was not allowed to participate in the selection, due to tightened minimal technical requirements. The capacity will, however, receive capacity payments at the average capacity market price for two additional years. The same amount of Fortum's old capacity, as in the selection for 2012 held in 2011, was allowed to participate for the year 2013 capacity selection.
The generation capacity built after 2007 under the government capacity supply agreements (CSA – "new capacity") receive guaranteed payments for a period of 10 years. 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. Possible penalties can be claimed if the new capacity is delayed or if the agreed major terms of the capacity supply agreement are not otherwise fulfilled. 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).
OAO Fortum'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, 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 and revising the CSA payments accordingly. In addition, CSA payments can vary annually somewhat because they are linked to Russian Government long-term bonds with 8 to 10 years maturity.
After completing the ongoing investment programme, 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.
The Russia Division's power sales volumes amounted to 5.3 (4.4) TWh during the third quarter of 2012. Heat sales totalled 2.3 (2.2) TWh during the same period.
The Russia Division's comparable operating profit was EUR -12 (-16) million in the third quarter of 2012. Due to seasonal effects the third quarter usually is the weakest quarter during the year. The positive effect from the commissioning of the new units in 2011 amounted to approximately EUR 19 (10) million in the third quarter.

The Russian Government decided to increase gas prices as of the beginning 1 July 2012; the increase was approximately 15%.
In September, Fortum's subsidiary in Russia, OAO Fortum, requested the delisting of its shares on the Moscow Stock Exchange. Stocks of OAO "TGK-10" (OAO Fortum) were excluded from the Moscow Stock Exchange List B already in October 2008 and have since been included in the unlisted securities section. Over 90% of OAO Fortum has been owned by Fortum Corporation since 2008.
The Russia Division's power sales volumes amounted to 16.6 (14.6) TWh during January-September 2012. Heat sales totalled 17.8 (17.5) TWh during the same period.
The Russia Division's comparable operating profit was EUR 40 (39) million in January-September 2012. The positive effect from the commissioning of the new units amounted to approximately EUR 61 (29) million. January-September 2011 included a reversal of the CSA provision totalling EUR 22 million. Decreased capacity payments and volumes for the old capacity had a negative impact.
Operating profit was EUR 51 (39) million in January-September 2012 and includes a gain of EUR 11 million relating to a divestment of heating network assets (Note 4).
Fortum is committed to its EUR 2.5 billion investment programme in Russia, and the schedule of the programme is to commission the last new units in 2014. The value of the remaining part of the investment programme, calculated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of September 2012, is estimated to be approximately EUR 750 million as of October 2012. Altogether, the investment programme consists of eight new power plant units, of which the first three units were commissioned in 2011.
The commissioning of Fortum's largest new investment greenfield projects in Nyagan was somewhat further postponed during the second quarter of 2012. Fortum has ongoing discussions with its main contractor, and Fortum estimates the commissioning of Nyagan 1 to take place during the first quarter of 2013 and Nyagan 2 during the first half of 2013 due to construction delays. This does not change the overall schedule or financial targets of the investment programme. In 2008, Fortum made a provision for penalties caused by possible commissioning delays. According to the agreement with the contractor, Fortum is entitled to adequate remedies in case of damages caused by contractor delays.
During the second quarter of 2012, Fortum announced that it will build the last two units of its Russian investment programme in Chelyabinsk instead of in Tyumen. The units are to be constructed at Chelyabinsk GRES. The last new units are planned to be commissioned by the end of 2014. Fortum also plans to modernise and upgrade the existing equipment of the power plant.
The division is responsible for Fortum's electricity sales and distribution activities and consists of two business areas: Distribution and Electricity Sales.
Fortum owns and operates distribution and regional networks and distributes electricity to a total of 1.6 million customers in Sweden, Finland and Norway.

The volume of distribution and regional network transmissions during the third quarter of 2012 totalled 4.9 (4.9) TWh and 3.8 (3.6) TWh, respectively.
The Distribution business area's comparable operating profit was EUR 57 (62) million. Costs relating to the accelerated improvement of network reliability in Finland impacted the result negatively in the third quarter of 2012.
Operating profit in the third quarter of 2012 totalled EUR 58 (60) million.
In January–September 2012, the volume of distribution and regional network transmissions totalled 18.8 (19.1) TWh and 12.6 (12.3) TWh, respectively.
The Distribution business area's comparable operating profit was EUR 216 (246) million. The decrease in the result was mainly due to warm weather during the early part of 2012, the timing of the relocation of cables and parts of the network, higher fault repair costs and customer compensations related to the 2011 year-end storm.
The operating profit in January-September 2012 totalled EUR 225 (437) million. The January-September 2011 figure includes a gain of EUR 192 million relating to the divestment of Fingrid Oyj shares.
The rollout of smart metering with hourly measurement capabilities to network customers in Finland continued; by the end of the third quarter of 2012, 375,000 customers had received new meters (160,000 at the end of 2011). Before the end of 2013, a total of approximately 620,000 network
customers will have smart metering. The benefits of the new system include invoicing based on actual electricity consumption and better control of the use of electricity. The new Finnish legislation on hourly meter reading will become effective as of 1 January 2014.
In Sweden, the Government's bill on the hourly measurement of electricity consumption for household customers was passed in the Parliament in mid-June 2012. The legislation stipulates that network companies should be able to offer hourly measurement to customers who have signed an electricity sales agreement that requires hourly measurement. It will come into force on 1 October 2012. The aim is to have all household customers within the hourly system by the end of 2015.
Both in Finland and Sweden, legal processes are under way concerning the industry appeals made regarding the network income regulatory period 2012-2015, which came into force on 1 January 2012.

Fortum completed the divestment of small hydropower plants in Finland during the first quarter of 2012. The capital gains from these transactions were EUR 47 million, which were booked in the Power Division's first-quarter results.
Through its interest in TVO (Teollisuuden Voima Oyj), Fortum is participating in the building of Olkiluoto 3, a 1,600 MW nuclear power plant unit in Finland. Based on the information submitted by AREVA-Siemens Consortium, Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO) estimates that the Olkiluoto 3 nuclear power plant unit will not be ready for regular electricity production in 2014. During the second quarter of 2012, TVO received an International Chamber of Commerce arbitration tribunal decision concerning a few partial payments previously made, to a blocked account, and to be released to the Olkiluoto 3 plant supplier. The decision takes no position on the delay of the plant unit and the cost resulting from the delay.
In September, Teollisuuden Voima Oyj submitted a claim and defence in the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) arbitration proceedings concerning the delay and the ensuing costs incurred at the Olkiluoto 3 nuclear power plant project. The quantification estimate of TVO's costs and losses is approximately EUR 1.8 billion (Note 20).
TVO completed plant upgrades and further improved the safety of the Olkiluoto nuclear power plant during 2010 – 2012. As a result, the power output of both Olkiluoto 1 and Olkiluoto 2 increased by approximately 20 MW each.
In addition, TVO has started the bidding and engineering phase of the company's fourth nuclear unit at Olkiluoto. Fortum's share of the commitment for this phase is approximately EUR 77 million. By the end of September, TVO raised EUR 50 million in shareholder loans; Fortum's share of this is approximately EUR 13 million.
In January, Fortum concluded its divestment of Fortum Energiaratkaisut Oy and Fortum Termest AS to EQT Infrastructure Fund. The total sales price, including net debt, was approximately EUR 200 million. Fortum's sales gain was EUR 58 million. The divestment is in line with the strategy to focus on large-scale CHP production.
The energy production of the co-owned Turun Seudun Maakaasu ja Energiatuotanto Oy (TSME) started on 1 January, as agreed by the different partners in late 2011. TSME is a co-owned company that consolidates the energy production in the Turku region in Finland.
In February, Fortum opened up the possibility for customers to sell their own surplus heat to Fortum's grid at market price in Stockholm, Sweden. The first agreement was signed in June and is part of a pilot project. Many customers have expressed their interest by signing letters of intent. The first customers will be able to sell surplus heat in 2012; the aim is for all customers to be able to sell their surplus heat starting in 2013.
In March, Fortum decided to invest about EUR 20 million in the commercialisation of new technology by building a bio-oil plant connected to the Joensuu power plant in Finland. The total value of the investment is about EUR 30 million, of which the Ministry of Employment and the Economy has granted EUR 8.1 million as a new technology investment.
In April, Fortum started the construction of the first large-scale bio-fuel CHP plant in Jelgava, Latvia. The construction of the Klaipeda waste-to-energy CHP plant, the first of its kind in the Baltics, has progressed as planned.
In August, automatic meter reading instalments were started for the customers in Jelgava, Latvia. The first phase of the test phase was successfully finished in early September and the project has moved into the second phase, which is planned to be implemented by the end of December.
The modernisation of the district heating networks continued in Poland during January–September 2012 and the production plants were upgraded at the same time. The aim is to increase efficiency and the usage of biomass. During 2012, the use of biomass has increased at the Czestochowa CHP plant in Poland; the long-term target is to increase the amount of biomass from 25% to 35%.
In Finland, new district heating offerings are under development and two new customer offerings were started as a pilot in the market during the third quarter.
Construction of the four CHP plants in Sweden, Finland, Latvia and Lithuania is advancing according to plan. In Stockholm, Sweden, the construction of a new silo for biofuel and a new transporting system has been started. The project is scheduled for completion at the end of 2013 and operational testing will start at the beginning of 2014. The investment will increase the amount of biofuel in the heating system and reduce CO2 emissions by 50 000 tons on a yearly basis.
In June, Fortum sold its heating network assets in Surgut, Russia, to Surgut City Grid LLC. Fortum does not have its own CHP production in Surgut. In addition, Surgut is distant from the other operations of Fortum's Russian subsidiary OAO Fortum. The divestment was finalised on 30 June 2012, and resulted in a EUR 11 million gain.
In addition, Fortum announced its decision to build the last two 250-megawatt 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 in the Capacity Supply Agreement, originally agreed upon in 2008. Fortum has received final approval for this relocation from the Russian Government. The new units are to be constructed at Chelyabinsk GRES. Fortum also plans to completely modernise and upgrade the existing equipment of the power plant.
According to a deal signed with Imatran Seudun Sähkö on 20 December 2011, Imatran Seudun Sähkö acquired Distribution's Estonian subsidiary Fortum Elekter. In connection with the agreement, Distribution also sold its ownership in Imatran Seudun Sähkö Oy. The deal was finalised at the beginning of January 2012.
Fortum agreed to sell its 18.7% ownership in the Swedish electricity supplier Dala Kraft AB to the energy company Jämtkraft AB. The transaction was done 21 September 2012. The effect of the divestment on Fortum's financial result is very minor. The sales gain from the transaction was booked in the third quarter financial result.

At the end of September 2012, 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 118,949. The Finnish State's holding in Fortum was 50.8% and the proportion of nominee registrations and direct foreign shareholders was 26.2% 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.
Fortum's operations are mainly based in the Nordic countries, Russia and the Baltic Rim area. The company has employees in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Russia, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Great Britain. The total number of employees at the end of the period was 10,584 (11,041), including summer trainees.
At the end of the period, the Power Division had 1,921 (1,902) employees, the Heat Division 2,341 (2,627), the Russia Division 4,270 (4,488), the Distribution business area 870 (894), the Electricity Sales business area 514 (507) and Other 668 (623).
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 January–September, Fortum decided to invest in the commercialisation of new technology by building a bio-oil plant connected to the Joensuu power plant in Finland. The CHP-integrated bio-oil plant, based on fast pyrolysis technology, is the first of its kind in the world on an industrial scale. The new technology has been developed in co-operation between Metso, UPM, VTT (as part of the TEKES Biorefine research programme) and Fortum. The bio-oil plant, which will be integrated with the CHP plant in Joensuu, will produce electricity and district heat, and, in the future, 50,000 tonnes of bio-oil per year. The bio-oil raw materials will include forest residues and other wood-based biomass.
In addition, Fortum decided to support Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) in the establishment of a solar economy professorship, which is the first in its research field in Finland. The professorship will strengthen LUT's curriculum in electricity, energy and environmental technology. Fortum also increased its funding in the wave energy technology developed by the Finnish company AW-Energy Oy and signed a co-operation agreement with Nissan on quick charging in the Nordic countries. The objective is to create quick-charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in order to make them a viable option for all car drivers. It is one of the biggest quick charging projects in the Nordic countries.
The Group reports its R&D expenditure on a yearly basis. In 2011, Fortum's R&D expenditure was EUR 38 million (2010: 30 million) or 0.6% of sales (2010: 0.5%) and 1.1% of total expenses (2010: 0.8%).
Fortum strives for balanced management of economic, social and environmental responsibility in the company's operations. The company's sustainability approach defines Group-level targets guiding operations and the key indicators to monitor them. Based on these, the divisions set their divisionlevel targets and indicators and outline the measures needed to achieve the targets.
The company is listed on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index World (the only Nordic utility in the index), Global Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index, and Fortum is also included in the STOXX Global ESG Leaders indices and in the NASDAQ OMX and GES Investment Service's new OMX GES Sustainability Finland index.
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.
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 management system certifications. In addition, the divisions have defined their own environmental goals related to their respective business. The achievements of the environmental targets are monitored through monthly, quarterly and annual reporting.
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 September 2012, the five-year average for specific CO2 emissions from power generation in the EU was at 61 g/kWh and the specific CO2 emissions from the total energy production was at 176 g/kWh, both better than the target level. Fortum's total CO2 emissions in January - September 2012 amounted to 14.4 (17.5) million tonnes (Mt), of which 3.1 (6.4) Mt were within the EU's emissions trading scheme (ETS).
In January - September 2012, approximately 68% (62%) of the power generated by Fortum was CO2-free. The corresponding figure for Fortum's generation within the EU was 94% (84%).The main reason behind the high share of CO2-free power is that very little condensing power was produced at the Inkoo and Meri-Pori coal-fired power plants.
Overall efficiency of fuel use was 67% as a five-year average; the target is >70%. At the end of the third quarter of 2012, 99% of Fortum's operations globally had ISO 14001 environmental certification. In August, OAO Fortum's operations in Russia received the certification.

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 and ensuring a safe working environment for all employees and contractors at Fortum sites are emphasised. A Group-level target has been defined for occupational safety. In addition to ISO 14001, the goal is to have OHSAS 18001 certification for all operational management systems. In
January - September 2012, the Group-level lost workday injury frequency (LWIF) continued at a good level at 1.6 (1.7). An unfortunate fatal accident occurred to a Fortum contractor in Russia in April. Fortum's safety target is to reach a LWIF level that is less than one per million working hours for its own personnel. This reflects the Group's zero tolerance for accidents.
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–September 2012, altogether eight supplier audits were conducted. In the beginning of 2012, Fortum joined the Bettercoal Initiative, aiming for continuous improvement of corporate responsibility in the supply chain of coal.
Markus Rauramo (43), M.Sc., Political Sciences, was appointed as the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at Fortum Corporation. He is a member of the Fortum Management Team and reports to President and CEO Tapio Kuula. Markus Rauramo joined Fortum from Stora Enso, where he held various managerial and leadership positions since 1993, most recently as CFO. Markus Rauramo started at Fortum in August 2012 and as a CFO on 1 September 2012.
Fortum's long-time CFO, Juha Laaksonen, will retire according to his terms of employment at the beginning of 2013.
Fortum Corporation's Annual General Meeting, which was held in Helsinki on 11 April 2012, adopted the financial statements of the parent company and the Group for 2011, discharged Fortum's Supervisory Board from liability for the time period 1 January - 4 April 2011, and Fortum's Board of Directors as well as the President and CEO from liability for 2011.
The Annual General Meeting decided to pay a dividend of EUR 1.00 per share for 2011. The record date for the dividend payment was 16 April 2012 and the dividend payment date was 23 April 2012.
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 and Joshua Larson were re-elected. Kim Ignatius was elected as a new member to the Board of Directors.
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 confirmed the appointment of a Nomination Board to prepare proposals concerning Board members and their remuneration for the next Annual General Meeting. The Nomination Board will consist of the representatives of the three main shareholders and, in addition, the Chairman of the Board of Directors as an expert member. The Nomination Board will be convened by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, and the Nomination Board will choose a chairman from among its own members. The Nomination Board shall give its proposal to the Board of Directors of the company at the latest by 1 February preceding the Annual 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.
The European Commission published its final report on the nuclear stress tests on October 4. It was concluded that the design basis for the Loviisa nuclear power plant is proper in terms of external events. Additionally, Fortum has improved the safety of the Loviisa power plant with comprehensive measures for several decades. The implementation of the required actions at the Loviisa power plant can be done within the framework of the annual investment programmes and they will not affect the power plant's availability.
Fortum's co-owned nuclear companies in Sweden, OKG AB in Oskarshamn and FKA in Forsmark, have submitted plans to improve safety by September 15th as was requested by Swedish Radiation Safety Authority, SSM. The authority expects to get the national plan ready by the end of year 2012. This plan will outline how SSM and Swedish nuclear licence holders will follow up on the stress tests required by the European Commission.
Fortum sees the harmonisation of safety requirements for nuclear power plants as necessary and considers it necessary that national authorities have supervisory responsibility. Nuclear liability should be implemented in the frame of the Paris convention and harmonised at European level.
Hafslund, an associated company of which Fortum owns 34.1%, announced on 16 October that their third quarter 2012 profit after tax will be negatively affected by NOK 551 million due to extraordinary write-downs and provisions. The company stated that this was a result of challenging market conditions and negative profit development within BioWood Norway AS and Bio-El Fredrikstad, and a tax provision following the development of an ongoing tax dispute. Fortum will book the share of the impact approximately EUR -25 million in its fourth quarter result.
Helena Aatinen, MSc Econ., has been appointed Senior Vice President, Corporate Communications and member of Fortum Corporation's Management Team. Helena Aatinen will report to President and CEO Tapio Kuula.
Anne Brunila, Executive Vice President, Corporate Relations and Strategy and member of the Management Team joined Fortum Corporation in September 2009. She will leave her position on her own request. Anne Brunila will continue in agreed development projects until spring 2013 and report to President and CEO Tapio Kuula.
The changes will come into effect on 1 November 2012.
Fortum's financial results are exposed to a number of risks i.e. strategic, political, financial and operational. 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.
The continued global economic uncertainty and Europe's sovereign-debt crisis weaken the outlook for economic growth in the mid-term, especially in the Euro zone. The overall economic uncertainty impacts the commodity and CO2 emission allowance prices and this in combination with the stronger hydrological situation in the Nordic region, could maintain downward pressure on the Nordic wholesale price for electricity in the short-term. In the Russian business, the key factors are the development of the regulation around electricity and capacity markets and operational risks related to the investment projects according to the investment programme. In all regions, fuel prices and power plant availability also impact the profitability. In addition, increased volatility in exchange rates due to financial turbulence might have both translation and transaction effects on Fortum's financials especially through the SEK and RUB.
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 the macroeconomic development in Europe and especially in the Nordic countries.
During the third quarter of 2012, the price of crude oil decreased steadily, whereas the decrease in the coal price stabilised towards the end of the quarter. The price of CO2 emissions allowances (EUA) weakened somewhat during the quarter. The forward price of electricity for the next twelve months came down both in the Nordic area and in Germany.
In mid-October 2012, the future quotations for coal (ICE Rotterdam) for the rest of 2012 were around USD 88 per tonne and the market price for CO2 emissions allowances (EUA) for 2012 was about EUR 8 per tonne.
In mid-October 2012, the electricity forward price in Nord Pool for the rest of 2012 was around EUR 39 per MWh. For 2013, the electricity forward price was around EUR 38 per MWh and for 2014 around EUR 39 per MWh. In Germany, the electricity forward price for the rest of 2012 was around EUR 47 per MWh and for 2013 EUR 47 per MWh.
In mid-October 2012, Nordic water reservoirs were about 8 TWh above the long-term average and 4 TWh above the corresponding level of 2011.
The Power Division's Nordic power price typically depends on e.g. the hedge ratio, hedge price, 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 might, 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.
European-wide safety evaluations have been carried out post Fukushima. As part of the evaluations, so-called peer reviews were carried out in March 2012 in several European nuclear power plants, including the Loviisa nuclear power plant. The European Commission submitted a consolidated report of the national reports to the European Council in October 2012. Some additional safety
criteria were already introduced after the spring-evaluations for nuclear power plants. The required improvements will be done within the framework of the annual investment programmes and planned maintenance.
Legislation in Sweden calls for nuclear waste fees and guarantees to be updated at regular intervals. At the end of December 2011, the Government decided upon fees and guarantees for 2012-2014. The negative impact from increased nuclear waste fees on Fortum's comparable operating profit is estimated to be approximately EUR 15 million per year in 2012-2014.
Nuclear fuel costs in all Fortum nuclear power plants are expected to increase in total by approximately EUR 15 million in 2012, due to the increased market price of uranium and enrichment.
The Russian wholesale power market was liberalised from the beginning of 2011. 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.
Capacity not under CSA competes in competitive capacity selection (CCS – "old capacity"). The capacity selection for 2012 was held in September 2011. The majority of Fortum's power plants were selected in the auction, with a price level close to the level received in 2011. Approximately 4% (120 MW) of the old capacity was not allowed to participate in the selection due to tightened minimal technical requirements. It will, however, receive capacity payments at the capacity market price for two additional years. The same amount of Fortum's old capacity, as in the selection for 2012 held in 2011, was allowed to participate for the year 2013 capacity selection.
The generation capacity built after 2007 under government Capacity Supply Agreements (CSA – "new capacity") receive guaranteed payments for a period of 10 years. Prices for capacity under CSA are defined in order to ensure a sufficient return on investments.
OAO Fortum'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 age, the 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 and could revise the CSA payments accordingly. CSA payments can vary annually somewhat because they are linked to Russian Government long-term bonds with 8 to 10 years maturity.
The commissioning of Fortum's largest new investment greenfield projects in Nyagan were somewhat further postponed during the second quarter of 2012. Fortum has ongoing discussions with its main contractor: Fortum estimates the commissioning of Nyagan 1 to take place around the turn of the year and Nyagan 2 during the first half of 2013 due to construction delays. This does not change the overall schedule or financial targets of the investment programme. In 2008, Fortum made a provision for penalties caused by possible commissioning delays. According to the agreement with the contractor, Fortum is entitled to adequate remedies in case of damages caused by contractor delays.
In June, Fortum announced its decision to build the last two 250-megawatt (MW) 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. The new units are to be constructed at Chelyabinsk GRES. Within the scope of the project, Fortum also plans to modernise and upgrade the existing power plant equipment. Fortum is planning to commission the last new units of its EUR 2.5 billion investment programme in Russia by the end of 2014. The value of the remaining part of the
investment programme, calculated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of September 2012, is estimated to be approximately EUR 750 million as of October 2012.
After completing the ongoing investment programme, Fortum's goal is to achieve an operating profit level of about EUR 500 million in its Russia Division 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, centralized district heating and co-generation efficiency.
The Russian Government is likely to increase gas prices beginning 1 July 2013; the increase is expected to be 15%.
Due to the increasingly demanding business environment, Fortum has 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. In the end of 2014, the cost run rate will be approximately EUR 150 million lower compared to 2012, including growth projects.
Fortum has updated its capital expenditure estimate. Fortum currently expects its capital expenditure in 2012 to be around EUR 1.5 billion, in 2013 EUR 1.1 -1.4 billion and in 2014 EUR 0.9 – 1.1 billion, excluding potential acquisitions. The main reason for the high capital expenditures in 2012 is the acceleration of Fortum's Russian investment programme. The annual maintenance capital expenditure is estimated to be about EUR 500-550 million in 2012, somewhat below the level of depreciation.
Previous guidance: Fortum currently expects its capital expenditure in 2012 to be around EUR 1.6- 1.8 billion and in 2013-2014 around EUR 1.1 -1.4 billion, excluding potential acquisitions.
The effective corporate tax rate for Fortum in 2012 is estimated to be 19-21%, excluding the impact of the share of profits of associated companies and joint ventures, non-taxable capital gains and non-recurring items. In Finland, the corporate tax rate was decreased to 24.5% from 26% starting 1 January 2012. In Sweden, according to the budget proposal, the corporate tax rate will be decreased to 22% from 26.3% 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 by the end of 2012. The update is done in a cycle of six years.
2012, the Finnish Government announced that a so-called windfall tax will be introduced in 2014.
At the end of September 2012, approximately 70% of the Power Division's estimated Nordic power sales volume was hedged at approximately EUR 48 per MWh for the rest of the calendar year 2012. The corresponding figures for the calendar year 2013 were about 60% at approximately EUR 45 per MWh and the corresponding figures for the calendar year 2014 were about 30% at approximately EUR 43 per MWh.
The hedge price for Power Division's Nordic generation excludes hedging of 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.
Write-downs and provisions, announced by Hafslund, are estimated to impact Fortum's results by EUR - 25 million or approximately EUR - 0.03 per share. The impact will be booked in the fourth quarter 2012 result according to Fortum Group's accounting standards.
The Annual General Meeting decided to pay a dividend of EUR 1.00 per share for 2011. The record date for the dividend payment was 16 April 2012 and the dividend payment date was 23 April 2012.

Translation differences impacted equity attributable to owners of the parent company with EUR 215 million during Q1-Q3 2012 (Q1-Q3 2011: -219) mainly relating to RUB, SEK and NOK amounting to EUR 201 million in Q1-Q3 2012 (Q1-Q3 2011: -206).
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.
The impact on equity attributable to owners of the parent from fair valuation of cash flow hedges, EUR -67 million during Q1-Q3 2012 (Q1-Q3 2011: 420), 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.
The dividend for 2011 was decided at the Annual General Meeting on 11 April 2012. The dividend was paid on 23 April 2012. The dividend for 2010 was decided at the Annual General Meeting on 31 March 2011. See Note 9 Dividend per share.

1) Including cash balances of EUR 16 million relating to assets held for sale as of 31 December 2011.
Non-cash flow items and divesting activities mainly consist of adjustments for unrealised fair value changes of derivatives EUR -9 million for Q1-Q3 2012 (Q1-Q3 2011: -284) and capital gains EUR -122 million for Q1-Q3 2012 (Q1-Q3 2011: -275). The actual proceeds for divestments are shown under cash flow from investing activities.
Realised foreign exchange gains and losses EUR -233 million for Q1-Q3 2012 (Q1-Q3 2011: -215) 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.

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 2011. 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.
The legal liability on 30 September 2012 was EUR 968 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 17 million compared to 31 December 2011, totalling EUR 670 million on 30 September 2012. 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 contributes funds to the 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 based on the legal liability decided in December 2011 and approved periodising of the payments to the Fund is EUR 941 million. Fortum has paid the fee of EUR 38 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 271 million, since Fortum's share of the Fund on 30 September 2012 was EUR 941 million and the carrying value in the balance sheet was EUR 670 million.
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 Q3 of EUR -8 million, compared to EUR -6 million in Q3 2011. The cumulative effect 2012 was EUR -24 million compared to EUR -18 million in 2011.
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 (8 units) 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 new rules for the long-term capacity market were approved in the beginning of 2011. This brought also more clarity to the possible penalties imposed on late delivery. Penalties are now defined on power plant level. This means that Fortum's risk for penalties under CSA agreement is proportionally decreasing when a new unit starts operation.
The effect of changes in the timing of commissioning of new power plants is assessed at each balance sheet date and provision is changed accordingly. The increase in the provision due to the discounting during Q1-Q3 2012 amounted to EUR 11 million. This amount was booked in other financial expenses.

The size of the securities given is updated yearly in Q2 based on the decisions regarding the legal liabilities and the funding target which takes place around year end every year.

Guarantees and other contingent liabilities on behalf of associated companies and joint ventures mainly consist of guarantees relating to Fortum's associated nuclear companies (Teollisuuden Voima Oyj, Forsmarks Kraftgrupp AB and OKG AB). The guarantees for Forsmarks Kraftgrupp AB and OKG AB for 2012-2014 have been increased from SEK 2,574 million (EUR 305 million) to SEK 3,696 million (EUR 437 million) during the third quarter 2012.
The guarantee given on behalf of Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO) to the Finnish fund amount to EUR 39 million at 30 September 2012 (31 December 2011: 44).
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).
In Finland, the Energy market authority has issued methodology decisions for the years 2012-2015. The decisions were appealed by more than 70 distribution companies. Main points of the appeal relate to the changes in WACC-calculation and increased quality sanctions. Market Court ruling is expected earliest by the end of 2012.
Fortum's subsidiaries, Fortum Sweden AB and Fortum Nordic AB, have received an income tax assessment for the year 2009 from the Swedish tax authorities. According to the tax authorities, Fortum would have to pay additional income taxes for the year 2009 for the reallocation of the loans between the Swedish subsidiaries in 2004-2005. The claim is based on the change in tax regulation as of 2009. Fortum considers the claim unjustifiable and has appealed the decision. No provision has been accounted for 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 420 MSEK.
During the reporting period 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 is approximately EUR 1.8 billion, which includes 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.
During the second quarter 2012 TVO received an International Chamber of Commerce arbitration tribunal decision concerning a few partial payments previously made, to a blocked account, to be released to the Olkiluoto 3 plant supplier. The decision takes no position on the delay of the plant unit and the cost resulting from the delay.
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.
No other material changes in legal actions and official proceedings have occurred during Q1-Q3 2012 compared to the year-end 2011.
Related parties are described in the annual financial statements as of the year ended 31 December 2011. No material changes have occurred during year 2012.
