Cargotec Corporation's Financial Statements Review January–December 2007
Q4

The fi gures in this fi nancial statements review are audited.
Demand for Hiab's load handling equipment was very buoyant during 2007 in Europe and Asia Pacifi c. Demand increased in various customer segments, particularly in Eastern Europe, Russia and in many markets of Asia Pacifi c. The lengthening of truck delivery times in Europe during the year also lengthened the delivery times of loader cranes and demountable systems. In the United States, demand for load handling equipment was weak particularly for truckmounted forklifts and tail lifts, following the fall in construction market in late spring. Demand for new trucks was also sluggish in the United States. Demand for forestry cranes continued strong in forest machines.
Demand for Kalmar's container handling equipment was healthy throughout 2007. In particular, demand for reachstackers grew signifi cantly whereas that for straddle carriers was lower than in 2006. The terminal tractor market slackened somewhat during the fourth quarter but, considering the whole year, the markets remained healthy. In the Middle East, market activity was lively. With respect to heavy industrial forklifts, the markets continued to be very strong in Europe.
Demand for MacGREGOR's marine cargo fl ow and offshore solutions was record-high in 2007. The number of new vessel orders in shipyards around the world increased. Demand for ship cranes reached a record level, refl ecting strong demand for bulk carriers and general cargo vessels. The RoRo equipment market was very buoyant, particularly with respect to PCTCs (pure car and truck carriers). Demand for offshore solutions was very lively throughout the year with MacGREGOR securing several major orders. With respect to bulk handling equipment, markets were strong in Asia and healthy in the Middle East and Europe.
Demand for Cargotec Services remained favourable throughout the year. Demand for load handling equipment services was strong in Europe due to higher levels of installed equipment whereas in the United States demand fell due to the low usage rate of such equipment. Demand for container handling equipment services remained high throughout the year, particularly in Europe and Asia. The
market for marine cargo fl ow services remained strong, particularly in Europe and Asia. The conversion of tankers into bulk ships is increasing demand for conversion projects.
Orders received by Cargotec in 2007 totalled a record high of EUR 4,106 (1–12/2006: 2,910) million. The value of orders secured during the fourth quarter amounted to EUR 1,214 (10–12/2006: 716) million.

During the fi nancial period, salaries and remunerations to employees totalled EUR 356 (1–12/2006: 300) million.
Acquisitions concluded by Cargotec in 2007 signifi cantly increased the number of personnel in Europe and Asia, in addition to which new personnel were recruited for various operations in Asia Pacifi c and Europe. In the United States, the operations of the load handling equipment production units were restructured and, consequently, the number of personnel decreased in line with weaker market demand.
In 2007, Cargotec's HR management adopted a new, shared reporting practice providing more extensive information on employees to support its decision-making on a global level. Furthermore, Cargotec's people strategy action plan focused on the planning and implementation of a human resources development and training structure as well as the development of uniform processes and tools supporting the activities of the fi rm's HR management. Other focus areas included recruiting and competence management.
Cargotec's environmental policy defi nes the Company's environmental principles. The main environmental effects of Cargotec's operations are related to the use of its products. Compared to these, the environmental effects of Cargotec's own factories are insignifi cant, relating mainly to energy and material use, recycling and waste. For this reason, environmental life cycle assessments are increasingly focused
on product development and service operations.
The recyclability of most of Cargotec's products is high, due to their substantial steel content. Other product benefi ts include a long useful life and good serviceability. Careful and regular servicing of equipment reduces its environmental effects and extends its useful life. Improving the energy effi ciency of products forms an important part of product development.
The certifi ed ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 quality and environmental management systems form the basis of Cargotec's environmental management. The Company's regular external audits and management audits are aimed at monitoring the achievement of the related objectives.
Cargotec seeks to create certifi ed environmental management systems for all of its production sites. Eight of Hiab's 16 production units and two of its sales companies apply environmental management systems certifi ed under ISO 14001. These systems cover over two thirds of the sales of Hiab's production units. Five of Kalmar's seven production units apply certifi ed environmental management systems, these systems covering over half of the sales of Kalmar's production units. Furthermore, two of Hiab's production units and two of Kalmar's production units are planning to certify their environmental management systems during 2008. MacGREGOR commissions most of its products from selected partners independently responsible for their production processes. Operational guidelines related to the management of environmental issues are included in the quality systems of most of MacGREGOR units.
The handling of environmental risks and responsibilities forms part of continuous company processes. In the context of corporate acquisitions and divestments, Cargotec analyses environmental issues as part of the due diligence process and manages any identifi ed responsibilities according to standardised practices. An environmental assessment was performed in connection with all acquisitions completed in 2007. Furthermore, a programme has been drawn up for carrying out an environmental assessment at all of Cargotec's current production sites.
Cargotec's President and CEO and the Executive Board are responsible for the Company's risk management activities and their implementation and control, and report to the Board of Directors. The Company has an internal auditing function which is responsible for internal control and business risk auditing. The internal auditing reports to the Board's Audit Committee. It is the task of the corporate
Treasury function to manage fi nancial risks centrally, while business areas and units are responsible for managing the risks involved in their own operations. Matters related to risk management are systematically evaluated during the various business units' quality and environmental system audits and management reviews, and as part of corporate restructuring.
Risk is defi ned as any internal or external threat or uncertainty that may prevent or restrict it from carrying out its operations and achieving its goals. Risks are classifi ed into strategic and business risks, fi nancial risks, and operational risks and hazard risks.
Cargotec has launched a project aimed at developing its internal controls. The purpose of this project is to create a system enabling the management to evaluate whether the Company's activities are effi cient and in line with targets, whether its reporting is reliable and whether it operates in accordance with the legislation, rules and regulations in force. The system will be established in line with the generally accepted COSO framework (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission). After the current status of internal controls has been analysed, the various functions will draw up plans regarding the development of the measures required. The Audit Committee will monitor the progress of the development projects.
Strategic and business risks are related to business cycles in the global economy and Cargotec's customer industries, the availability and price development of raw materials and components, acquisitions, and dealers' and subcontractors' activities.
Cargotec's treasury operations and fi nancial risk management principles are defi ned in the Treasury Policy. The Company's fi nancial risks are centrally managed and administered by Cargotec Treasury, which draws up fi nancial risk reports for the management on a regular basis. Financial risks arising from Cargotec's business activities include currency, interest rate, refi nancing and liquidity, counterparty and operative credit risks. The Company seeks to protect itself against these risks in order to ensure a fi nancially sound basis for developing its business operations.
Operational risks and hazard risks relate to persons, property, processes, products and information technology. The materialisation of such risks may lead to bodily injuries, property damage, business interruption or product liability claims. Cargotec's main activities related to the management of these risks are related fi rst and foremost to increasing product safety and information security and assuring business continuity. With respect to key person risks,
succession plans for leadership and key assignments are updated on an annual basis.
Responsibility for the management of key operational risks and hazard risks lies with the Company's risk management function and business area and unit management, in particular. Cargotec's main hazard risks include risks related to property, business interruption, general and product liability and logistics. In addition to preventive risk management measures, the Company protects itself against these risks by taking out insurance policies that cover all units.

In January 2007, Cargotec published its new fi nancial targets and a share-based incentive programme for the key managers for the years 2007–2011. The purpose of the programme encouraging share ownership is to align the interests of key managers to Cargotec's strategy and fi nancial targets as well as contribute to making them long-term shareholders of the Company. The incentive programme covers some 60 individuals. The programme offers key managers a possibility to earn a reward in Cargotec class B shares based on accomplishment of set targets.
Cargotec's fi nancial targets are the following: annual sales growth exceeding 10 percent (incl. acquisitions), raising the operating profi t margin to 10 percent, and maintaining the gearing below 50 percent. The targets have been set for the years 2007–2011.
The incentive programme consists of four earnings periods, of which the fi rst is two years and the following three periods one year each. The Board of Directors decides on the target group of the earnings period and their maximum reward at the beginning of each earnings period.
Potential rewards from the incentive programme during 2007–2011 are based on achievement of fi ve-year sales and operating profi t targets as defi ned in Cargotec's strategy.
The rewards will be paid during 2009–2012 in both class B shares and cash. The cash portion is dedicated to cover possible taxes and tax-related payments resulting from the reward. The shares distributed as reward will contain a prohibition to hand over or sell the shares within one year of the end of an earnings period with the exception of the fi nal earnings period when no prohibitions are included. The maximum amount to be paid out as shares is 387,500 class B shares currently held by the Company as treasury shares.
Pekka Vauramo, M.Sc. (Eng.) was appointed Kalmar's President as of October 1, 2007. Vauramo started at Cargotec on September 1, 2007. Kalmar's previous President, Christer Granskog, retired at the end of 2007 in accordance with his service contract.
Cargotec Corporation's Annual General Meeting was held on February 26, 2007 in Helsinki. The meeting approved the fi nancial statements and consolidated fi nancial statements. The meeting granted discharge from liability to the President and CEO and the members of the Board of Directors for the accounting period January 1–December 31, 2006.
The Annual General Meeting approved the Board's proposal of a dividend of EUR 0.99 for each of the 9,526,089 class A shares and EUR 1.00 for the 53,815,646 outstanding class B shares. The meeting also approved the remuneration of the Board members as well as that of the auditors.
The number of members of the Board of Directors was confi rmed at six according to the proposal of Cargotec's Nomination and Compensation Committee. Carl-Gustaf Bergström, Henrik Ehrnrooth, Tapio Hakakari, Ilkka Herlin, Peter Immonen and Karri Kaitue were re-elected as members of the Board of Directors.
Authorised public accountants Johan Kronberg and PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy were elected as auditors according to the proposal of the Audit Committee of Cargotec Corporation's Board of Directors.
The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors of Cargotec to decide to repurchase the Company's own shares with assets distributable as profi t. The shares may be repurchased in order to develop the capital structure of the Company, fi nance or carry out possible acquisitions, implement the Company's share-based incentive plans, or to be transferred for other purposes or to be cancelled.
Altogether no more than 6,400,000 own shares may be repurchased, of which no more than 952,000 are class A shares and 5,448,000 are class B shares. The abovementioned amounts include the 704,725 class B shares at that time in the Company's possession. This authorisation remains in effect for a period of 18 months from the date of decision of the Annual General Meeting.
In addition, the Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to decide on the distribution of any shares repurchased. The Board of Directors is authorised to decide to whom and in which order the shares will be distributed. The Board of Directors may decide on the distribution of repurchased shares otherwise than in proportion to the existing pre-emptive right of shareholders to purchase the Company's own shares. The shares may be used as compensation in acquisitions and in other arrangements as well as to implement the Company's share-based incentive plans in the manner and to the extent decided by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has also the right to decide on the distribution of the shares in public trading at the Helsinki Stock Exchange to be used as compensation in possible acquisitions. This authorisation remains in effect for a period of 18 months from the date of decision of the Annual General Meeting.
In its organising meeting Cargotec's Board of Directors elected Ilkka Herlin to continue as Chairman of the Board and Henrik Ehrnrooth to continue as Deputy Chairman. Cargotec's Senior Executive Vice President and CFO Kari Heinistö continues to act as secretary to the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors re-elected among its members Ilkka Herlin, Peter Immonen and Karri Kaitue as members of the Audit Committee. Karri Kaitue was elected to continue as Chairman of the Audit Committee. Board members Carl-Gustaf Bergström, Tapio Hakakari, Ilkka Herlin and Peter Immonen were re-elected to the Nomination and Compensation Committee. Ilkka Herlin was elected to continue as chairman of the Nomination and Compensation Committee. Board members Tapio Hakakari, Ilkka Herlin and Peter Immonen were elected to the Working Committee. The Board elected Ilkka Herlin as chairman of the Working Committee.
Cargotec's Board of Directors decided to exercise the authorisation of the Annual General Meeting to repurchase the Company's own shares.
The maximum amount of repurchased own shares will be less than 10 percent of the Company's share capital and total voting rights.
Class B shares will be purchased at public trading in the Helsinki Stock Exchange at the market price. Class A shares will be purchased outside the Stock Exchange at the price equivalent to the average price of class B shares paid in the Helsinki Stock Exchange on the purchase date. Share repurchases will be published on the transaction days through stock exchange announcements.
In the second half of the year, a total of 1,200,000 own class B shares were repurchased. Altogether, Cargotec holds 1,904,725 class B shares in treasury.
Cargotec's principal short-term risks and uncertainties are related to general economic development and the availability of components.
A major decline in construction activities in the United States has been refl ected in the demand for Cargotec's load handling equipment. The generally higher uncertainty related to the global economic development makes estimating short-term future more diffi cult. A more general slackening of economic growth in the U.S. and its refl ection in other parts of the world might decrease Cargotec's customers' willingness to invest.
Cargotec has outsourced a signifi cant proportion of its component production and part of its assembly operations. Cargotec strives to anticipate its component needs so that subcontractors can fl exibly meet demand. Due to generally high demand for many of the components used by Cargotec, their availability remains tight. Additionally, high demand for trucks in Europe may have an adverse impact on the delivery schedules of Hiab products during the fi rst half of the year.
Cargotec has made a signifi cant number of acquisitions during the past 12 months. Although these acquisitions are relatively small in size and geographically dispersed, integrations always involve a degree of uncertainty.
The parent company's distributable equity on December 31, 2007 is EUR 890,371,965.27 of which net income for the period is EUR 95,444,925.87. The Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General meeting convening on February 29, 2008, that of the distributable profi t, a dividend of EUR 1.04 per each of the 9,526,089 class A shares and EUR 1.05 per each of 54,694,284 class B shares in circulation be paid, totalling EUR 65,336,169.51. The rest of the distributable equity, EUR 825,035,795.76, will be retained and carried forward.
No signifi cant changes have occurred in the Company's fi nancial position after the end of the fi nancial year. The Company's liquidity is good and, in the Board of Directors' view, the proposed distribution of dividend does not pose a risk to the Company's fi nancial standing.
Investments in the strategic development of Cargotec will continue and growth in services is expected to remain strong. Based on the record high order book at the beginning of the year management estimates sales growth in 2008 to be at the year 2007 level. General market activity and Cargotec's orders received are expected to continue healthy although in MacGREGOR the achievement of the exceptionally high order intake level of 2007 is a stretch. Operating margin in 2008 is expected to improve from the 2007 level. The U.S. market continues weak without yet any signs of improvement.
Cargotec Corporation's Annual General Meeting will be held at the Marina Congress Center in Helsinki on Friday, February 29, 2008 at 10 a.m.

A goodwill of EUR 10.2 million was recognised of the acquisition of the minority shares of Kalmar India Pvt. Ltd and Kalmar Asia Pacifi c Ltd. The cash outfl ow from these acquisitions was EUR 13.1 million.
The goodwill is attributable to the experienced and capable personnel employed by the businesses and to the synergies. Management estimates that synergies are gained from services' greater global presence, utilisation of economies of scale and integration of sourcing and sales network for new products. Synergies are also expected from the possibility to expand operations to new market areas and to utilise new product knowhow and new technologies in developing current business.
The fi nancial statements review has been prepared according to the International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the annual fi nancial statements of 2007. All fi gures presented have been rounded and consequently the sum of individual fi gures may deviate from the presented sum fi gure.
Starting from January 1, 2007 Cargotec has adopted the following new and amended standards and interpretations by the IASB published in 2006:
The adoption of the new and revised standards and interpretations did not have a material effect on the consolidated fi nancial statements except on the notes information.
In annual fi nancial statements of 2007 share of associated companies' and joint ventures' net income is presented above operating profi t if they relate to Cargotec's business. The comparative fi gures of 2006 have been restated accordingly.
The share-based incentive scheme for top management that was approved by the Board of Directors in July 2005 has ended in March 2007. The members of the scheme received 20,660 Cargotec 2005B-option rights and in cash 65,000 synthetic option rights. Fair value of a synthetic option was EUR 28.22 at payment day.
In January 2007, Cargotec published a new share-based incentive scheme for the Company's key managers for the years 2007–2011. The rewards will be paid during 2009–2012 in both class B shares and cash. The cash portion is dedicated to cover possible taxes and tax-related payments resulting from the total reward. Shares distributed as reward will contain a prohibition to hand over or sell the shares within one year of the end of an earnings period with the exception of the fi nal earnings period when no prohibitions are included. The shares will be lost if the holder leaves the Company before the prohibition period ends.
At the end of December 2007, the earnings period 2007–2008 involves 66 persons. If they were to receive the maximum number of shares in accordance with the scheme, a total of 144,925 shares, their shareholding obtained via the programme would amount to 0.1 percent of the total voting rights of Company's class A and B shares. The incentive scheme is booked and valued according to the Share-based payments -accounting principle presented in the annual fi nancial statements of 2006.
