  • Board of Directors will propose at the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 1.04 per each class A class share and EUR 1.05 per each class B share be paid.
  • 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.

The fi gures in this fi nancial statements review are audited.

Operating Environment perating

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.

Cargotec had EUR 585 million of committed credit facilities on December 31, 2007. These facilities were unused. The EUR 225 million (USD 300 million) Private Placement placed in December 2006 with U.S. institutional investors was funded in February 2007. Some 14 U.S. institutional investors participated in the transaction. The placement has been hedged through Cross Currency and Interest Rate Swaps into a fi xed interest rate euro loan. Its interest rate varies between 4.525 and 4.756 percent, depending on the maturity, which varies between 7 and 12 years.

New Products and Product Development ew

In January–December 2007, Cargotec's research and product development expenditure was EUR 46.4 (1–12/2006: 31.3) million, representing 1.5 (1.2) percent of sales. During the year special focus in R&D was placed on environmental friendliness and utilisation of automation in equipment.

During the year, Hiab launched two new loader cranes. The HIAB XS 211 loader crane complements the mid-sized loader crane range. The HIAB XS 1055 launched in Q3 is the largest Hiab loader crane by capacity, which provides users with the longest reach and highest lifting capacity delivered by any HIAB crane on the marketplace today. The most powerful of Hiab's hooklifts, the XR30, was launched in the fourth quarter and was very well received by the market. Other product launches included the XR 26 hooklift system, designed in particular for the needs of the waste management and recycling industry. Hiab continued development work on its truck-mounted forklifts by introducing the MOFFETT M4 model, attracting orders from short-range local transports and the gas industry in particular. During the fi rst quarter, Hiab launched a folding type tail lift model for the UK and French markets that requires less loading space.

Kalmar continued to develop its automated solutions and environmentally friendly equipment in 2007. Further development of container position verifi cation, and the control and monitoring systems of automated stacking cranes continued. These systems are being applied in, for instance, the automation project of the HHLA Burchardkai container terminal in Hamburg. The fi rst terminal tractors featuring a remote control system (Remote Machine Interface, RMI) developed by Kalmar were sold during the fi rst quarter. This system has been previously used in other Kalmar container handling equipment. Product development work on hybrid solutions continued through two-year terminal tractor R&D project which is a joint effort by Kalmar, the ports of New York and New Jersey and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The new generation terminal tractors with CAN-BUS monitoring system that speeds up their operation was launched to the market during autumn. In the second quarter, Kalmar introduced the remodelled E-One+ RTG crane which, similarly to its predecessor, is fully electrically operated and does not have any hydraulics. The new version brings improvements to the maintenance, operating safety and assembly of the unit. At the end of 2007, Kalmar launched a new automated product, Smartspot, designed to optimise container handling between terminal tractors and ship-to-shore cranes or RTG cranes. Also at the year end, Kalmar introduced a new spreader model designed specifi cally for the U.S. and Canadian markets. In November, the company rolled out a new F generation model for empty container handling, enabling more rapid and effi cient container hoisting. The new model also features improved environmental effi ciency.

MacGREGOR continued to develop electronically operated cargo handling solutions, including ship cranes, ramps, car decks and hatch covers. In the third quarter, the company introduced a new lift-away, multi-panel hatch cover model enabling the user to lift fi ve hatch covers at a time. The fi rst electronically controlled ship crane began operating during the second quarter. Furthermore, the company presented fully automated container fi ttings that will be subjected to fi eld tests, and continued to develop a new generation monitoring system for ship cranes. MacGREGOR delivered the fi rst electric E-Roll hatch covers for the fi rst of altogether 12 vessels ordered by a Japanese shipyard. These environmentally friendly, side-rolling hatch covers are fi rst raised from the ship deck using electrically powered cylinders, after which they are opened by a geared electrical motor. The Japanese Kawasaki shipyard ordered hatch covers of this type for three of its vessels. In 2007, MacGREGOR also introduced a new bulk cargo storage and handling system enabling vessels to take up to 50 percent more cargo. In addition, a new Hydramarine crane was launched with a lifting capacity of 400 ton and active heave compensation.

Capital Expenditure apital

Cargotec's capital expenditure for January–December 2007, excluding acquisitions and customer fi nancing, totalled EUR 53.2 (1–12/2006: 46.6) million. Customer fi nancing investments were EUR 37.5 (22.2) million.

In the second quarter, Hiab decided to centralise its European truck-mounted forklift production to the Dundalk production unit in Ireland. The Oude Leije production unit in the Netherlands was converted into a technical centre serving European customers. In the fi rst quarter, a new assembly unit was opened in Raisio, Finland, enabling the simultaneous assembly of up to 12 truck superstructures. The purpose of this investment is to cut delivery times and increase the unit's effi ciency.

In 2007, Hiab decided to combine its loader crane and forestry crane product lines. The new Crane product line began operating on January 1, 2008. This organisational change will strengthen the use of shared resources in crane product development, manufacturing and marketing. The Crane product line comprises the manufacture of loader cranes, forestry cranes and recycling cranes in fi ve production units in Europe and Asia. As of the beginning of 2008, Hiab also combined its forestry crane sales operations in Finland into Hiab Oy's Finnish sales. This change is part of the integration of Hiab's sales companies, which began in Germany and Sweden in January 2007.

In the United States and Ireland, Hiab adapted the operations of its load handling equipment production units to the weaker market demand in the United States. Hiab also invested in a new paintshop in its Korean assembly unit.

In May, Kalmar opened a new automation development centre in Tampere, Finland. The centre tests smart solutions developed by Kalmar before the equipment is delivered to the customer. Furthermore, the centre provides training for machine operators on Kalmar's remote monitoring systems. In 2007, the company also extended its reachstacker assembly facilities in Lidhult, Sweden and the production facilities for rough terrain container handlers in Texas, the United States.

In 2007, MacGREGOR invested in a new offshore equipment production unit in Tianjin, China. In the fourth quarter, the company initiated the extension of a production unit in Singapore that delivers offshore cranes to the Asian markets. With respect to ship cranes, MacGREGOR continued to seek new cooperation partners to meet the ongoing major increase in order book more effi ciently. Furthermore, the number of partners in hatch covers, RoRo and ship cranes production was increased.

The acquisition will increase Kalmar's resources in automated port terminal R&D. ACT specialises in developing and marketing equipment navigation control and terminal operation control hardware and software.

In April, Kalmar signed a contract to acquire the remaining

minority share in Kalmar Asia Pacifi c Ltd. Kalmar now fully owns the company.

In February, Kalmar acquired the U.S. based service company, Port Equipment Service, Inc. (PES). PES employs 56 people and had sales of approximately EUR 4 million in 2006. This acquisition strengthened Kalmar's service business, particularly in ports and railroad terminals on the U.S. East Coast.

In January, Kalmar acquired the Slovenian service company, Tagros d.o.o. Tagros services container handling equipment and forklifts. This acquisition enables Kalmar to build up its service and sales activities in Slovenia and the Northern Balkan Peninsula. Tagros employs approximately 35 people and had sales of approximately EUR 2 million in 2006.

In January, Kalmar also agreed to acquire Truck och Maskin i Örnsköldsvik AB in Northern Sweden. The acquisition was fi nalised in February and has strengthened Kalmar's sales and service network for industrial customers in the wood handling segment. Truck och Maskin employs approximately 100 people and had sales of approximately EUR 14 million in the accounting period that ended on April 30, 2006.

In December 2006, a contract was signed to acquire Kalmar's Spanish distributor, Kalmar España SA. The acquisition was fi nalised in April.

MacGREGOR's Acquisitions acGREGOR's

During the fi rst half of the year, MacGREGOR expanded its operations into the offshore vessel segment. In March, MacGREGOR agreed to acquire Norwegian Hydramarine AS and Singaporean Plimsoll Corporation Pte Ltd. The acquisitions were fi nalised in April. Hydramarine specialises in the development of sub sea load handling equipment such as cranes. In 2006, Hydramarine had sales of EUR 63 million and employed 150 people. Plimsoll Corporation Pte Ltd is the leading company in producing hydraulic deck machinery equipment for offshore oil and gas and marine industry in the Asia Pacifi c region. In 2006, Plimsoll's sales totalled approximately EUR 43 million and the company employed approximately 600 people. MacGREGOR acquired 90 percent of both Hydramarine and Plimsoll with the remaining shares being owned by the employees.

In June, MacGREGOR established a new division, MacGREGOR Offshore. The division consists of Hydramarine and Plimsoll and concentrates on achieving synergy benefi ts between the acquired companies and expanding the business. The new division employs close to 900 people.

In May, a contract was signed to acquire Vestnorsk Hydraulikkservice AS (VNH) of Norway. VNH specialises in the maintenance of hydraulic systems and turnkey deliveries of offshore solutions for offshore support vessels and other types of ships. VNH's sales amount to approximately EUR 5 million. The company employs 21 people. The acquisition was fi nalised in June.

Employees mployees

In 2007, the average number of employees at Cargotec was 10,276 (2006: 8,026) people. At the end of the reporting period, Cargotec employed 11,187 (December 31, 2006: 8,516) people. Hiab employed 4,418 (3,647) people, Kalmar 4,459 (3,705) and MacGREGOR 2,223 (1,117). Of Cargotec's total employees, 14 percent were located in Finland, 22 percent in Sweden and 30 percent in the rest of Europe. North and South American personnel represented 11 percent, Asia Pacifi c 22 percent and the rest of the world 1 percent of total employees. 15 percent of the personnel were female and 85 percent male. 3 percent of Cargotec's total employees worked part time and 97 percent full time.

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.

Environment nvironment

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.

Risks and Risk Management isks

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.

Cargotec's Financial Targets and Incentive argotec's Programme for Key Managers rogramme

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.

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.

Short-term Risks and Uncertainties hort-term

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.

Board of Directors' Proposal on the Distribution oard of Profi t

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.

Outlook

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.

Annual General Meeting nnual

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.

In March, MacGREGOR agreed to acquire 90 percent of the Norwegian Hydramarine AS and Singaporean Plimsoll Corporation Pte Ltd. The acquisitions were fi nalised in April. The accounting of these two business combinations includes also the minority share with the redemption obligation. The debt-free acquisition price of these business combinations was approximately EUR 136 million and the goodwill recognised according to the calculations was EUR 123 million. In May, a contract was signed to acquire Vestnorsk Hydraulikkservice AS (VNH) of Norway. The acquisition was fi nalised in June.

Management estimates that the consolidated sales for January 1–December 31, 2007 would have been approximately EUR 3,057 million, if the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2007.

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.

Accounting Principles

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.

Adoption of new or revised IFRS standards and interpretations starting in January 1, 2007

Starting from January 1, 2007 Cargotec has adopted the following new and amended standards and interpretations by the IASB published in 2006:

  • IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures
  • IAS 1 Amendment, Capital Disclosures
  • IFRIC 10, Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment
  • IFRIC 11, IFRS 2 Group and Treasury Share Transactions

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.

Reclassifi cation of income statement items

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.

Share-based payments

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.

Calculation of Key Figures

Equity / share = Share issue adjusted number of shares at the end of period (excluding treasury shares)
Interest-bearing net debt = Interest-bearing debt – interest-bearing assets
Total equity / total assets (%) = Total equity
100 x ________________
Total assets – advances received
Gearing (%) = 100 x Interest-bearing debt – interest-bearing assets
________________
Total equity
Return on equity (%) = Net income for period
100 x ________________
Total equity (average for period)
Return on capital employed (%) = Income before taxes + interest and other fi nancing expenses
