Strongest quarterly order intake in six years. Revenue growth was insufficient to generate operating leverage and improve profitability. Revenue expected to pick-up markedly in Q4. Reduction in net working capital and net debt. Continued positive momentum in mining. Cement market unchanged. Guidance for 2018 maintained.
Order intake increased 71%, driven by two large cement plant orders and a higher level of base orders in both Mining and Cement. Revenue increased 6% organically, driven by Cement.
Operating profit increased in Q3 as a result of higher revenue. The EBITA margin, however, decreased to 8.1% from 8.2% in the same quarter last year, due to higher costs related to digitalization and efficiency improvements.
ROCE increased to 10.7% as a result of higher EBITA over the past 12 months and slightly lower capital employed. Positive operating cash flow led to a reduction in the financial gearing (NIBD/EBITDA) to 1.1 in Q3, well within the long-term target.

The financial ratios have been computed in accordance with the guidelines of the Danish Finance Society and financial definitions according to note 8.15 in the Annual Report 2017.
Order intake increased 71%, driven by two large cement plant orders and a higher level of base orders in both Mining and Cement. Revenue increased 6% organically, driven by Cement.
Order intake in Q3 increased to DKK 7,164m (Q3 2017: DKK 4,193m) and was the strongest quarterly order intake in six years, representing an organic growth of 70%. The order intake contained two large cement plant orders totalling
approximately DKK 1.9bn (Q3 2017: no large orders). Even adjusting for the large orders, the order intake increased about 25% compared to Q3 last year, mainly driven by growth in both Mining and Cement capital business.
Order intake in Cement grew 161% organically compared to Q3 last year, because of growth in the capital business, whereas service order intake declined 3%.
Order intake in Mining grew 17% organically compared to Q3 last year, driven by strong growth in the capital business and a 6% increase in service order intake.
Foreign exchange translation effects had a negative impact of 3% and the acquisition of part of Sandvik Mining Systems had a 4% positive impact.

Order backlog for the Group increased to DKK 17,228m (Q2 2018: DKK 14,454m). 30% Of the backlog is expected to be converted to revenue in the remainder of 2018, 48% in 2019, and 22% in 2020 and beyond.
Revenue increased 6% to DKK 4,335m in Q3 2018 (Q3 2017: DKK 4,101m). Foreign exchange translation effects had a 2% negative impact and acquisitions a 2% positive impact on revenue. Organic growth was 6%, attributable to Cement.

Despite a considerably stronger Mining order intake in 2018 compared to Q1-Q3 last year, Mining revenue fell slightly in Q3 2018 due to the time lag between order intake and revenue. Mining revenue is expected to pick-up markedly in the fourth quarter. Cement revenue is expected to pick-up in Q4 as well due to timing of projects.
Service order intake increased 3% to DKK 2,569m in Q3 (Q3 2017: DKK 2,501m), equivalent to 36% of the total order intake (Q3 2017: 60%). Two large cement plant orders, combined with a strong increase in Mining equipment orders, explained the lower share of service relative to capital business in Q3.
Service revenue decreased 5% to DKK 2,489m in Q3 (Q3 2017: DKK 2,609m), equivalent to 57% of the total revenue (Q3 2017: 64%). The decline was due to lower Mining service revenue, explained by timing of upgrade project milestones.
Operating profit increased in Q3 as a result of higher revenue. However, the EBITA margin decreased to 8.1% from 8.2% in the same quarter last year, due to higher costs related to digitalization and efficiency improvements.
Gross profit increased 6% to DKK 1,126m (Q3 2017: DKK 1,065m), entirely related to the increase in revenue. The corresponding gross margin was 26.0% (Q3 2017: 26.0%). Whilst the Group gross margin was unchanged compared to last year, it represented an improvement of 2.6%-points in Mining and 1.3%-points in Cement. Although the gross margin improved in both segments, the effect was neutral at Group level due to a higher share of, lower margin, Cement revenue and a lower share of, higher margin, Mining revenue than Q3 last year.
Q3 2018 saw total research and development costs of DKK 88m (Q3 2017: DKK 56m), representing 2.0% of revenue (Q3 2017: 1.4%), of which DKK 58m was capitalised (Q3 2017: DKK 15m) and the balance expensed as production costs. The increase in R&D costs related to several projects, of which one of the larger projects concerned comminution technology to
address the increasingly harder and more complex mine ore bodies. In addition, project-financed developments are taking place in cooperation with customers.
Sales, general and administrative costs and other operating items declined sequentially to DKK 718m in Q3, but increased compared to the same quarter last year (Q3 2017: DKK 667m). The increase on Q3 last year was explained mainly by costs related to digitalization and efficiency improvements. The cost percentage was 16.6% of revenue (Q3 2017: 16.3%).
EBITA increased 4% to DKK 350m (Q3 2017: DKK 336m) due to the increase in revenue, whilst the EBITA margin decreased to 8.1% (Q3 2017: 8.2%) as a result of the higher cost base, as explained above.
Amortisation of intangible assets amounted to DKK -96m (Q3 2017: DKK -102m). The effect of purchase price allocations amounted to DKK -40m (Q3 2017: DKK -55m) and other amortisation to DKK -56m (Q3 2017: DKK -47m). Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) increased 9% to DKK 254m (Q3 2017: 234m).
Net financial items amounted to DKK -17m (Q3 2017: DKK - 101m), of which foreign exchange and fair value adjustments amounted to DKK -21m (Q3 2017: DKK -75m) and net interest amounted to DKK 4m (Q3 2017: DKK -26m).
Tax for the period amounted to DKK -66m (Q3 2017: DKK -38m), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 28% (Q3 2017: 29%). The USA passed a new tax legislation effective 1 January 2018. The full impact is still being analysed, but it is expected that the overall consequences for the Group's effective tax rate and tax payments in 2018 will be negative based on the current business model due to the new Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT).
Profit from continuing activities increased to DKK 171m (Q3 2017: DKK 95m), mainly due to lower financial expenses.
Loss from discontinued activities amounted to DKK -9m (Q3 2017: DKK -72m). Discontinued activities are predominantly related to the bulk material handling activities that were announced for sale in connection with the third quarter interim report in 2015. The sales process is still ongoing and we are in final negotiations with a potential acquirer. Signing is expected in the near-term.
Profit for the period increased to DKK 162m (Q3 2017: DKK 23m), equivalent to DKK 3.2 per share (diluted) (Q3 2017:
ROCE increased to 10.7% as a result of higher EBITA over the past 12 months and slightly lower capital employed. Positive operating cash flow led to a reduction in the financial gearing (NIBD/EBITDA) to 1.1 in Q3, well within the long-term target.
Average capital employed decreased to DKK 14.4bn in Q3 2018 (Q3 2017: DKK 14.7bn), and 12-months trailing EBITA increased to DKK 1,539m (Q3 2017: DKK 1,476m). As a consequence, ROCE increased to 10.7% (Q3 2017: 10.0%).
Capital employed at the end of Q3 2018 amounted to DKK 14.2bn and consists primarily of intangible assets amounting to DKK 10.1bn, which is mostly historical goodwill as well as patents and rights, and customer relations. Tangible assets amounted to DKK 2.3bn and net working capital to DKK 1.8bn.
Cash flow from operating activities decreased to DKK 357m in Q3 2018 (Q3 2017: DKK 414m). Change in net working capital had a DKK 27m positive impact in Q3 2018 (Q3 2017: DKK 166m positive impact). Change in provisions had a DKK 48m negative impact in Q3 2018 (Q3 2017: DKK 30m positive impact). Cash flow from operating activities in discontinued business amounted to DKK -162m of which the majority related to change in net working capital.
Net working capital decreased to DKK 1,809m at the end of Q3 2018 (end of Q2 2018: DKK 2,003m). The corresponding net working capital ratio decreased to 9.9% of 12-months trailing revenue (end of Q2 2018: 11.1% of revenue). The decrease in net working capital from Q2 to Q3 was explained by a reduction in net work-in-progress and increased net prepayments from customers, partly offset by lower trade payables and higher inventory to support sales of products and parts.
Cash flow from investing activities increased to DKK -109m in Q3 2018 (Q3 2017: DKK -69m), due to higher capitalised research and development costs than Q3 last year.
Free cash flow (cash flow from operating and investing activities) in Q3 amounted to DKK 248m (Q3 2017: DKK 345m).
Total assets amounted to DKK 21,652m at the end of Q3 2018, largely unchanged from the previous quarter (end of Q2 2018: DKK 21,614m).
Equity at the end of Q3 2018 increased to DKK 8,048m (end of Q2 2018: DKK 7,933m), and the equity ratio was 37.2% (end of Q2 2018: 36.7%), well above the long-term target of minimum 30%.
Net interest-bearing debt (NIBD) by the end of Q3 2018 decreased to DKK 1,942m (end of Q2 2018: DKK 2,135m). As a result, the Group's financial gearing was 1.1 (end of Q2 2018: 1.2), well below the NIBD long term target of maximum two times EBITDA.
At the end of Q3 2018, the Group's capital resources consisted of committed credit facilities of DKK 7.3bn (including mortgage) with a weighted average time to maturity of 3.3 years.
FLSmidth's treasury shares amounted to 1,403,275 shares at the end of Q3 2018 (end of Q2 2018: 1,452,490 shares), representing 2.7% of the total share capital (end of Q2 2018: 2.8%). Treasury shares are used to hedge FLSmidth's long-term incentive plans.
The number of employees amounted to 11,491 at the end of Q3 2018 (end of Q2 2018: 11,781), including discontinued activities, employing 114 people. The reduction related primarily to operation & maintenance in Cement and completed maintenance work in Mining.
At the end of Q3 2018, there was a total of 1,060,394 unexercised share options under FLSmidth's incentive plan and their fair value was DKK 149m. The fair value is calculated by means of a Black & Scholes model based on a current share price of DKK 399.7, a volatility of 28.9% and a future annual dividend of DKK 8 per share. The effect of the plan on the income statement for Q3 2018 was DKK -4m (Q3 2017: DKK -5m).
At the end of Q3 2018, FLSmidth had granted a maximum of 405,600 performance share units (Q3 2017: 302,813) to 279 key employees. Full vesting after three years will depend on achievement of stretched financial targets related to the EBITA margin and the net working capital ratio. The effect of the plan on the income statement for Q3 2018 was DKK -5m (Q3 2017: DKK -6m).
Based on the results delivered in the first three quarters of 2018 and the expected developments in the remainder of 2018, it is expected that revenue will be DKK 18-20bn and that the EBITA margin will be 8-10%. The return on capital employed is expected to be 10-12%. Revenue is expected to pick-up significantly in the fourth quarter, driven by both mining and cement, and accompanied by operating leverage and higher margins.

Order intake was particularly strong in Mining in the first three quarters of 2018, supported by higher capital expenditures in the mining industry. Despite a continued challenging cement market, Cement saw double digit growth in Q1-Q3, following the awarding of two large cement plant contracts in the third quarter.

Mining revenue increased 8% organically in Q1-Q3 2018, which is well below the growth in Mining orders and explained by the time lag between orders and revenue, especially in the capital business. Cement revenue was unchanged organically compared to the first three quarters of last year.
Gross profit increased 1% to DKK 3,381m (Q1-Q3 2017: DKK 3,363m due to higher revenue. The gross margin declined to 25.4% (Q1-Q3 2017: 25.8%) due to higher R&D costs and a higher share of capital versus service business than last year.
EBITA increased 2% to DKK 1,074m (Q1-Q3 2017: DKK 1,050m), mainly as a consequence of the increase in revenue. The EBITA margin was 8.1% (Q1-Q3 2017: 8.0%).
Due to lower amortisation and financial costs, EBT increased to DKK 733m (Q1-Q3 2017: DKK 514m), and the net profit from continuing activities increased to DKK 506m (Q1-Q3 2017: DKK 365m).
Cash flow from operating activities declined to DKK 288m (Q1- Q3 2017: DKK 519m) primarily as a consequence of a negative contribution from changes in provisions of which more than DKK 200m related to settlement of a legacy project in discontinued activities in the second quarter.
The market for mining capital expenditures showed continued good momentum in the third quarter, despite ongoing trade war uncertainty which has impacted commodity prices. After a copper price decline of more than 15% in June-July, the speculative activity against copper subsided in Q3, and the copper price has stabilised around 6,000 USD/mt and ended the quarter close to 6,200 USD/mt, well above the cash cost of most copper producers.
ICSG has estimated a world refined copper deficit of 150,000 tonnes in the first seven months of 2018, and the International Wrought Copper Council is expecting a copper supply deficit in 2018 based on solid Chinese demand growth of about 4% this year.
Demand for minerals processing equipment and brownfield projects remained solid across regions and commodities in the third quarter. Mining activity in the Americas and Asia remained healthy, with copper and gold as the driving force, but good activity within other commodities too, including coal, nickel and zinc. Australia saw increased inquiry activity within iron ore, coal and battery related commodities. Subcontinental India showed good activity within iron ore, coal, zinc and alumina in particular. Activity is slowly picking up in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, mostly related to copper, gold and coal. Across regions, customers are showing increasing interest in new technology to increase productivity and drive down costs.
Greenfield activity is still limited, although the pipeline contains a few opportunities for larger mining projects. Timing is uncertain due to lengthy processes related to environmental
approvals, internal Board approvals and, in some cases, financing.
While the miners have shown increasing interest in improving productivity and increasing capacity, they remain cautious on new investments and focused on minimising production costs. With the latter representing both an opportunity and a constraint, the mining aftermarket was largely unchanged in the quarter. Growing mine production, especially in copper, is creating a larger installed base to service, but at the same time miners are pursuing ways to operate equipment more efficiently.
Pricing for both equipment and services was unchanged in the quarter.
Order intake in Q3 2018 increased 19% to DKK 3,250m (Q3 2017: DKK 2,737m) and 17% when adjusted for currency and acquisitions, compared to the same quarter last year. The increase was driven predominantly by higher demand for projects and equipment, but also a 6% growth in service orders.
Revenue decreased 3% to DKK 2,242m in Q3 2018 (Q3 2017: DKK 2,310m), explained by lower service revenue, partly offset by higher revenue from the capital business. Currency effects had a 3% negative impact and acquisitions a 3% positive impact on revenue in the quarter.
Gross profit, before allocation of shared cost increased 6% to DKK 711m (Q3 2017: DKK 672m), and the corresponding gross margin increased to 31.7% (Q3 2017: 29.1%) due to good execution and business mix (more products, less projects).
EBITA increased 14% to DKK 299m (Q3 2017: DKK 263m), and the EBITA margin increased to 13.3%, (Q3 2017: 11.4%), reflecting the higher gross margin.
Order intake in Q1-Q3 2018 increased 27% to DKK 9,886m (Q1- Q3 2017: DKK 7,814m), explained by greater demand for equipment and brownfield projects and a 9% increase in service orders.
Revenue in the first three quarters increased 5% to DKK 7,440m (Q1-Q3 2017: DKK 7,116m), considerably below the order intake in 2018 because of the time lag between orders and revenue, particularly in the capital business which has driven the recent increase in Mining orders.
EBITA increased 4% to DKK 802m (Q1-Q3 2017: DKK 769m) as a result of the higher revenue. The EBITA margin of 10.8% was in line with last year.

Regardless of a very strong order intake in the third quarter, the market for new cement capacity was unchanged and remains subdued on a global scale. The awarding of two large cement plant orders, however, underlines FLSmidth's position as the clear leading supplier in the premium market. It also demonstrates, once again, the local nature of the cement market, where good regional opportunites can arise in a globally subdued market.
The cement pipeline is still charactarised by a limited number of large potential projects and a healthy level of small to mid-sized opportunities within upgrades, retrofits, single equipment and grinding plants. The cement market as a whole remains very competitive with stable pricing at a low level.
Cement activity in Subcontinental India picked up in the first half of 2018 and remained at this level in Q3. Despite a strong US economy and a pent-up need to maintain infrastructure, North America shows no signs of adding significant new capacity, but interest in smaller upgrades, retrofits and single equipment persists. In South America and Asia customers are mostly focused on plant optimisations to reduce operating costs and, in some cases, adding smaller grinding or clinker production plants.
The cement aftermarket was overall stable in the third quarter but characterised by significant regional differences. Low plant utilisation in most regions means few new plants are coming online and limited opportunities for first time spares. On the other hand, customers are increasingly looking for retrofits and
rebuilds to reduce costs and environmental impact of existing plants. In both India and China cement companies are increasingly requesting plant improvements to ensure compliance with stricter environmental regulation. In Europe, customers show increased interest in alternative fuel systems to substitute fossil fuel.
Order intake in Q3 2018 increased 159% to DKK 3,858m (Q3 2017: DKK 1,489m). Order intake in Q3 included two large cement plant orders, together worth around DK 1.9bn (Q3 2017: no large cement orders). Even adjusted for the two large orders, the order intake increased substantially compared to the same quarter last year, driven by an increase in capital orders.
Revenue increased 11% to DKK 2,038m in Q3 2018 (Q3 2017: DKK 1,843m), explained by higher revenue from the capital business. Currency had no revenue impact in the quarter.
Gross profit, before allocation of shared cost increased 18% to DKK 432m (Q3 2017: DKK 367m), and the corresponding gross margin increased to 21.2% (Q3 2017: 19.9%) due to good execution and business mix (more products, less projects).
EBITA decreased 48% to DKK 41m (Q3 2017: DKK 79m), and the corresponding EBITA margin fell to 2.0%, (Q3 2017: 4.3%).
The decrease in EBITA was mainly explained by digitalisation and efficiency improvement costs, and a very low cost base in the comparison quarter.
The short-term outlook for large cement projects remains stable, subdued, and pricing pressure is ongoing. Consequently, action has been taken to improve efficiency and profitability in Cement, and notice has been given to more than 100 people, globally, during the second half of 2018. The expected EBITA improvement in 2019 is approximately DKK 80m (everything else being equal). FLSmidth will continue to invest in white spots, digitalization and standardisation.
Order intake in Q1-Q3 2018 increased 11% to DKK 7,357m (Q1- Q3 2017: DKK 6,612m), explained by the strong order intake in the third quarter.
Revenue in the first three quarters of 2018 declined 3% to DKK 5,869m (Q1-Q3 2017: DKK 6,077m) but was unchanged compared to last year when adjusted for currency.
EBITA decreased 6% to DKK 254m (Q1-Q3 2017: DKK 271m) as a result of the lower revenue, and the corresponding EBITA margin was 4.3% (Q1-Q3 2017: 4.5%).

The geographical breakdown of revenue is based on the location of the activity or the location where the equipment is delivered. Revenue is shown for continued business.
It is the Group's policy to prepare the income statement based on an adapted classification of the cost by function in order to show the earnings before special non-recurring items, depreciations, amortisations and write-downs (EBITDA). Depreciation, amortisation, and write-downs of tangible assets are therefore separated from the individual functions and presented in separated lines.
The income statement classified by function includes allocation of depreciation, amortisation and write-downs appearing as follows:
| DKKm | Q3 2018 | Q3 2017 | Q1-Q3 2018 | Q1-Q3 2017 |

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost is approximately equal to the carrying amount.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are measured at quoted prices in an active market for similar assets or liabilities or other valuation methods, where all significant inputs are based on observable market data (level 2). Of financial assets available for sale, DKK 9m (30 September 2017: DKK 87m) are measured at quoted prices in an active market for the same type of instruments (level 1). The remaining financial assets available for sale are measured using valuation methods where all significant inputs are based on observable market data (level 2) or valuation methods where any significant inputs are not based on observable market data (level 3).
There have been no significant transfers between the levels in Q3 2018 and Q3 2017.

Non-diluted earnings per share in respect of discontinued activities amount to DKK -0.8 (2017: DKK -2.2) and diluted earnings per share in respect of discontinued activities amount to DKK -0.8 (2017: DKK -2.1).
Contingent liabilities at 30 September 2018 amounted to DKK 5.5bn (30 September 2017 DKK 5.1bn), which include performance bonds, payment guarantees and bid bonds at DKK 4.6bn (30 September 2017 DKK 4.7bn). See note 8.3 in the Annual Report 2017 for a general description of the nature of the Group's contingent liabilities.
In July 2017, FLSmidth reached an agreement to acquire a part of Sandvik Mining Systems. The acquisition closed on 1 November except for the transfer of assets in South Africa. This remaining part of the deal received final governmental approval and the deal was closed on 1 March 2018.
The assets and liabilities are measured using the information available at the date for issuing the interim report. The purchase price allocation has not been finalised. If information becomes available this could affect the calculated values.

The acquisition of activities from this part of the Sandvik Mining Systems result in negative goodwill of DKK 3m. This relates to expected redundancy costs and operating losses for which a provision cannot be recognised in the acquisition balance sheet. The negative goodwill is recognised in the Group's consolidated income statement as special non-recurring items.
The 31 December 2017 deferred payment regarding Sandvik Mining Systems acquisition amounted to SEK 158m (equivalent to DKK 121m) of which SEK 133m (equivalent to DKK 95m) has been received in Q1-Q3 2018.
In June 2018, FLSmidth reached an agreement to sell non-core business in Switzerland.

When preparing the interim report in accordance with the Group's accounting policies, it is necessary that Management makes estimates and lays down assumptions that affect the recognised assets and liabilities, including the disclosures made regarding contingent assets and liabilities.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions considered relevant at the time in question. These estimates and assumptions form the basis of the recognised carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the derived effects on the income statement. The actual results may deviate over time. For further details, reference is made to The Annual Report 2017, chapter 1, 'Significant accounting estimates and assessments by Management', page 72 and to specific notes.
Management is not aware of any subsequent matters that could be of material importance to the Group's financial position.
The condensed interim report of the Group for the first three quarters of 2018 is presented in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as approved by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements regarding interim reporting by listed companies.
Apart from the below mentioned changes, the accounting policies are unchanged from those applied in the 2017 Annual Report. Reference is made to note 8.13, Accounting policies, note 8.14, Implementation of standards and interpretations and to specific notes in the 2017 Annual Report for further details.
As of 30 September 2018, the FLSmidth Group has implemented all new or amended accounting standards and interpretations as adopted by the EU and applicable for the 2018 financial year, including the following accounting standards, which is the most relevant for FLSmidth:
IFRS 15 has replaced IAS 11, Construction Contracts and IAS 18, Revenue and associated interpretations.
The Group has implemented IFRS 15 using the modified retrospective application, with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard adjusted to the opening balance of retained earnings 2018. Consequently, 2017 comparative figures are reported according to IAS 11/IAS 18 and has not been restated to reflect the numbers accordingly to IFRS 15.
The most relevant changes compared to current accounting policy are:
The changes have had an effect on the following areas:
The transition effect 1 January 2018 booked to opening retained earnings is DKK 9m. The tax effect hereof is DKK -1m.
Had the Group applied the previous accounting policy for revenue according to IAS 11/IAS 18 in the tree quarters of 2018 the profit for the period would have been DKK 465m, a decrease of DKK 1m compared to the actual numbers for the first three quarters of 2018. The following line items would have been impacted and would have been presented as follows:
| DKKm | Q3 2018 | Q1-Q3 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 4,329 | 13,299 |
| Tax for the period | (65) | (227) |
| Work-in-progress for third parties | (33) | 2,073 |
| Deferred tax liabilities | 2 | 370 |
IFRS 9 has replaced IAS 39, Financial Instruments; Recognition and Measurement.
The most relevant changes compared to current accounting policy are:
The Group has implemented IFRS 9 according to the transition provisions. There was no transition effect upon implementation 1 January 2018.
Effective from 1 January 2019, the FLSmidth Group will implement IFRS 16, Leases.
IFRS 16 will replace IAS 17, Leases. IFRS 16 will require the majority of leasing contracts to be recognised as lease assets with a related lease liability. Consequently, this will have an impact on the income statement where the lease cost will be treated as depreciations and interest expenses, rather than as operating expenses.
The effects on the consolidated financial statements are being analysed, and the final effects will be based on the lease portfolio at the end of the year. The preliminary conclusion is that IFRS 16 will have limited impact to the consolidated financial statements and we expect a balance sheet increase within the range of 1-3%. Although the impacts are not expected to be significant to recognition, measurement or disclosures, the implementation requires significant preparation to processes, systems and governance.
The Group expects to implement IFRS 16 using a simplified application, with a lease asset value equal to the lease liability value upon transition. Consequently, 2018 comparative figures will be reported according to IAS 17 and will not be restated to reflect the numbers accordingly to IFRS 16. Furthermore the Group expects to apply the exemptions related to exclusion of low value assets and lease contracts with a contract term of 12 months or less.
FLSmidth's organisation consists of two industries - Cement and Mining – supported by a regional setup to strengthen customer focus and life-cycle solutions - combined with a new central digital organisation. The new organisational structure has proven its worth, so far, and has resulted in positive feedback from both customers and employees.
FLSmidth will transition from four divisions into two industries, Cement and Mining, and from a country setup into an agile regional structure. Customer relations will be decentralised in seven regions, while technology ownership for the full lifecycle offering will be anchored in the two industries. This will
create a productivity-driven organisation with a strong, unified digital approach and fewer touchpoints. At the same time, it will strengthen FLSmidth's local presence, customer-orientation, and life-cycle offering in order to capture growth.
In short:
Mining and Cement will be supported by seven regions: North America; South America; Europe, Russia & North Africa; Sub-Saharan Africa & Middle East; Asia; Subcontinental India; and Australia. The regions will drive customer relations, sales and service for both industries.
A central digital organisation will drive a unified approach to digitalization.
As of 1 July 2018, Group Executive Management consists of Thomas Schulz*) (Group CEO), Lars Vestergaard*) (Group CFO), Jan Kjaersgaard (Cement President), Manfred Schaffer (Mining President) and Mikael Lindholm (Chief Digital Officer).
The financial reporting will be aligned with the organisational structure as from the Q3 2018 Interim Report. The new reporting segments will be Cement and Mining. The restated financial figures, adjusted for discontinued activities, are presented on the following pages.
