Interim Report 2012 January-June
"In the second quarter Kemira once again was able to compensate the lower sales volumes and higher raw material prices with sales price increases. In Paper, as well as in Municipal & Industrial, sales volumes recovered slightly. Fixed costs, however, continued to increase in all segments and resulted in a decrease in the operative EBIT. ChemSolutions operative EBIT decreased substantially mainly due to an extended maintenance shutdown of ChemSolutions' Oulu plant in Finland as well as higher variable costs.
After the first half of 2012, Kemira's operative EBIT is below the comparable period of 2011. Our profitability is the fundamental issue we need to improve in order to continue to be a relevant player within the water quality and quantity management business, and to meet our guidance for 2012.
Therefore, Kemira announced today its global restructuring program "Fit for Growth" to improve the company's profitability, internal efficiency and to accelerate growth in emerging markets. The cost savings target with the planned program is EUR 60 million on an annualized basis. The ultimate goal of the program is to reach Kemira's financial targets in an accelerated mode. Revenue growth target for Kemira is above 3% in the mature markets and 7% in the emerging markets. Kemira's EBIT margin target is at least 10%.
The "Fit for Growth" restructuring program is based on the following measures:
The implementation of these measures may ultimately lead to a reduction of up to 600 positions globally, from which approximately 250 could be in Finland. Kemira will initiate the co-determination negotiations according to each country's local legislation. Kemira had 5,181 employees worldwide at the end of June 2012.
Non-recurring charges related to the restructuring program are estimated to be around EUR 85 million. These charges are expected to be accounted for within the next four quarters."

Kemira Group's revenue increased 2% to EUR 562.3 million (548.8). The negative impact of lower sales volumes year-on-year was slightly smaller than in the previous quarter and was fully compensated by sales price increases. Despite the difficult financial situation in Europe, the sales volumes recovered slightly in the Paper and Municipal & Industrial segments and also in ChemSolutions. In the Oil & Mining segment, sales volumes continued to decline mainly due to the exit from some low margin products. Currency exchange had +3% and divestments -1% impact on revenues.
In the Paper segment, revenues increased 3% to EUR 249.2 million (242.2). Sales price increases could more than offset the lower sales volumes. Currency exchange impacted revenues by +4% and divestment by -2%.
In the Municipal & Industrial segment, revenues increased 4% to EUR 173.7 million (166.6). Organic growth, mainly derived from sales price increases was 3%. Sales volumes were close to a level of the comparable period last year. Currency exchange impacted revenues by +2% and divestments by -1%.
In the Oil & Mining segment, revenues remained stable at EUR 84.5 million (84.8). Implemented sales price increases could partly compensate for the lower sales volumes. Sales volumes were lower due to the continued exit of some low margin product sales coupled with decreased natural gas price in North America which slowed down demand for some products. Exited low margin product sales impacted revenues by -6%. Currency exchange impacted revenues by +6%.

EBIT decreased 12% to EUR 32.8 million (37.3). Operative EBIT decreased 4% to EUR 35.7 million (37.3). Higher sales prices could more than offset the lower sales volumes and increased variable costs. Fixed costs were EUR 7 million higher than in the second quarter of 2011 due to higher maintenance, personnel and sales and marketing related expenses. In total, divestments, currency exchange and other items had a minor positive impact on operative EBIT (see variance analysis on page 4). The operative EBIT margin decreased to 6.3% (6.8%).
Non-recurring items affecting EBIT in the second quarter of 2012 totaled EUR -2.9 million (0), mainly relating to the manufacturing optimization in the Municipal & Industrial segment.

EBIT decreased 16% to EUR 68.9 million (82.2). Operative EBIT decreased 10% to EUR 73.9 million (82.2). Higher sales prices could more than offset the lower sales volumes and increased variable costs. Fixed costs were EUR 13 million higher than in the comparable period in 2011 mainly due to higher maintenance and personnel expenses. Kemira's headcount increased in the APAC region compared to the end of June, 2011. Maintenance expenses increased in Paper, Municipal & Industrial and ChemSolutions. In total, currency exchange, divestments and other items had a minor negative impact on the operative EBIT (see variance analysis on page 6). The operative EBIT margin decreased to 6.6% (7.4%).

Income from associated companies increased 12% to EUR 16.6 million (14.8). Performance of the specialty TiO2 producer JV Sachtleben, (Kemira owns 39% of the company) was strongly supported by the high titanium dioxide prices.
Financing income and expenses totaled EUR -8.9 million (-7.7). Financing expenses were higher mainly due to EUR 4.8 million changes in fair values of electricity derivatives and to the currency exchange differences of EUR -1.0 million (2.5). Financing income included dividends of EUR 7.6 million received from PVO in the second quarter of 2012.
Profit before tax decreased 14% to EUR 76.6 million (89.3). Higher income from associated companies partly compensated the decreased EBIT and increased financing expenses.

The Paper segment's revenue increased 3% to EUR 249.2 million (242.2) mainly due to the implemented sales price increases. Paper segment sales volumes recovered slightly and the year-on-year negative impact on revenues was slightly smaller than in the previous quarter. Kemira's sales volumes for the Pulp customer sub-segment were lower than in the comparable quarter in 2011. This was partially due to the divestment made in November, 2011. Sales volume growth for the Packaging & Board customer subsegment accelerated especially in the Asian markets, and together with increased sales volumes for the Tissue & Specialties customer sub-segment could partly offset the lower pulp sales volumes. Sales volumes to the Printing and Writing customer sub-segment remained stable. Currency exchange impacted revenues by +4% and the divestment in November, 2011 of the hydrogen peroxide plant in Maitland, Canada by -2%.
Operative EBIT increased 1% to EUR 20.3 million (20.0). Lower sales volumes and higher raw material prices were more than compensated by the respective sales price increases. Fixed costs were EUR 2 million higher than in the comparable period in 2011 mainly due to increased sales and marketing related expenses. The operative EBIT margin remained almost stable at 8.1% (8.3%).
The Paper segment's revenue remained stable at EUR 493.8 million (495.4). Revenues in local currencies and excluding divestment decreased 1% mainly due to lower sales volumes. Sales price increases had a positive impact. Currency exchange impacted revenues by +3% and the divestment of the hydrogen peroxide plant in Maitland, Canada in November 2011 by -2%.
Operative EBIT decreased 3% to EUR 41.3 million (42.7). Higher sales prices could offset the lower sales volumes and higher variable costs. Fixed costs were EUR 4 million higher than in the comparable period in 2011 mainly due to increased sales and marketing activity and maintenance related expenses. The operative EBIT margin was 8.4% (8.6%).

The Municipal & Industrial segment's revenue increased 4% to EUR 173.7 million (166.6). Higher average sales prices continued to have a positive impact on revenues. Sales volumes were close to the level of the comparable period in 2011. Sales volumes for the Municipal customer sub-segment continued to recover, especially in North America, and together with the higher sales prices impacted the M&I segment revenue positively by +3%. In some Southern European countries sales volumes for the municipal customers have not recovered materially and remained some 15% lower than in the second quarter of 2011. In the Industrial customer sub-segment, revenues remained stable. Currency exchange impacted revenues by +2% and divestments by -1%.
Operative EBIT increased 17% to EUR 12.7 million (10.9). Sales price increases could more than offset the higher variable costs. Raw material prices remained stable, although still on a high level during the second quarter. Higher fixed costs had EUR -2 million year-on-year impact, mainly related to increased personnel expenses. In total, currency exchange and divestment had a small positive impact on the operative EBIT. The operative EBIT margin increased to 7.3% (6.5%).
The Municipal & Industrial segment's revenue increased 3% to EUR 334.7 million (324.4). Revenues in local currencies and excluding divestment increased 3% mainly due to higher sales prices. Currency exchange impacted revenues by +1% and divestments by -1%.
Operative EBIT decreased 16% to EUR 18.8 million (22.5). Increased sales prices could fully offset the higher variable costs and the impact of somewhat lower sales volumes. Fixed costs were EUR 6 million higher than in the comparable period in 2011, mainly due to higher maintenance and personnel expenses. Currency exchange and divestment did not have a material impact on the operative EBIT. The operative EBIT margin declined to 5.6% (7.0%).

The Oil & Mining segment's revenue remained stable at EUR 84.5 million (84.8). Implemented sales price increases had a positive impact on revenues. Sales volumes were lower due to a decreased natural gas price in North America that slowed down demand for some products. Exited low margin product sales impacted revenues by -6%. Currency exchange impacted revenues by +6%.
Operative EBIT increased 23% to EUR 10.0 million (8.1). Sales price increases could more than offset the impact of the lower sales volumes. Variable costs were slightly lower than in the second quarter of 2011. This positive impact was offset by slightly higher fixed costs. The operative EBIT margin increased to 11.8% (9.6%) leading to the fourth consecutive quarter with an operative EBIT margin above 10%.
The Oil & Mining segment's revenue increased 1% to EUR 169.6 million (168.5). Revenues in local currencies increased 4% excluding the -7% impact related to some exited low margin product sales. Currency exchange impacted revenues by +4%. Acquisitions and divestments did not have an impact on the revenues.
Operative EBIT increased 26% to EUR 22.1 million (17.5). The operative EBIT improvement was driven mainly by the higher sales prices partially offset by increased fixed costs. The operative EBIT margin increased to 13.0% (10.4%).
Specialty chemicals (ChemSolutions), such as organic salts and acids, and the Group expenses not charged to the business segments (some research and development costs and the costs of the CEO Office) are included in "Other". Specialty chemicals products are delivered mainly to the food and feed, the chemicals and the pharmaceutical industries, as well as for the airport runway de-icing.
The Other revenue remained stable at EUR 54.9 million (55.2). Specialty chemicals share of the Other revenues was EUR 44.2 million (43.7). Sales price increases had positive impact on revenues. Sales volumes were negatively impacted by the maintenance shutdown of ChemSolutions' Oulu plant in Finland.
Operative EBIT decreased to EUR -7.3 million (-1.7). Specialty chemicals' share of the Other operative EBIT was EUR 0.3 million (3.8). Specialty chemicals' operative EBIT decreased mainly due to EUR 3 million higher variable costs that could not fully be compensated by the respective sales price increases. Fixed costs were slightly higher than in the second quarter of 2011. Specialty chemicals' operative EBIT margin declined to 0.7% (8.7%).
The Other revenue remained stable at EUR 117.1 million (117.3). Specialty chemicals share of the Other revenues was EUR 93.4 million (93.2). Revenues other than Specialty chemicals are service revenues in Sweden and in Finland.

Kemira's vision is to be a leading water chemistry company. Kemira will continue to focus on improving profitability and reinforcing positive cash flow. The company will also continue to invest in order to secure the future growth in the water quality and quantity management business.
Kemira's financial targets remain as earlier communicated. The company's medium term financial targets are:
The basis for growth is the expanding water chemicals market and Kemira's strong know-how in the water quality and quantity management. Increasing water shortage, tightening legislation and customers' needs to increase operational efficiency create opportunities for Kemira to develop new water applications for both current and new customers. Investment in research and development is a central part of Kemira's strategy. The focus of Kemira's research and development activities is on the development and commercialization of the new innovative technologies for Kemira's customers globally and locally.
Today, Kemira Oyj announced a global restructuring program "Fit for Growth" to improve the company's profitability, its internal efficiency and to accelerate growth in emerging markets without sacrificing business opportunities in the mature markets. The cost savings target with the planned program is EUR 60 million on an annualized basis. The ultimate goal of the program is to reach Kemira Group's targets for revenue growth and EBIT margin.
The program is based on the following measures:
The implementation of these measures may ultimately lead to a reduction of up to 600 positions globally, from which approximately 250 could be in Finland. Kemira will initiate the co-determination negotiations according to each country's local legislation. Kemira had 5,181 employees worldwide at the end of June 2012.
Non-recurring charges related to the restructuring program are estimated to be around EUR 85 million. These charges are expected to be accounted for within the next four quarters.
In 2012, Kemira expects the revenue and operative EBIT to be at approximately the same level as in 2011. In the near term, an uncertainty in Europe and a slowdown in global economic growth may affect the demand for our products in the customer industries. This guidance assumes current currency exchange rates and oil price level.

In its claim, Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA seeks an order from the Regional Court of Dortmund in Germany to obtain an unabridged and full copy of the decision of the European Commission, dated May 3, 2006, and demands that the defendants, including Kemira, are jointly and severally ordered to pay damages together with accrued interest on the basis of such decision.
Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA has stated that it will specify the amount of the damages at a later stage after the full copy of the decision of the European Commission has been obtained by it. In order to provide initial guidance as to the amount of such damages, Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA presents in its claim a preliminary calculation of the alleged overcharge having been paid to the defendants as a result of the violation of the applicable competition rules by the parties which have assigned and sold their claim to Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA. In the original summons such alleged overcharge, together with accrued interest until December 31, 2008, was stated to be EUR 641.3 million.
Thereafter Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA has delivered to the attorneys of the defendants an April 14, 2011 dated brief addressed to the court and an expert opinion. In the said brief the minimum damage including accrued interest until December 31, 2010, based on the expert opinion, is stated to be EUR 475.6 million. It is further stated in the brief that the damages analysis of the expert does not include lost profit.
The process is currently pending in the Regional Court of Dortmund, Germany. Kemira defends against the claim of Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA.
Kemira Oyj has additionally been served on April 28, 2011 a summons stating that Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA has filed an application for summons in the municipal court of Helsinki on April 20, 2011 for violations of competition law applicable to the hydrogen peroxide business claiming from Kemira Oyj as maximum compensation EUR 78.0 million as well as overdue interest starting from November 10, 2008 as litigation expenses with overdue interest. The referred violations of competition law are the same as those on basis of which CDC has taken legal action in Germany in Dortmund. Kemira defends against the claim of Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA.
Kemira Oyj's subsidiary Kemira Chemicals Oy (former Finnish Chemicals Oy) has on June 9, 2011 received documents where it is stated that CDC Project 13 SA has filed an action against four companies, including Kemira, asking damages for violations of competition law applicable to the sodium chlorate business. The European Commission set on June 2008 a fine of EUR 10.15 million on Finnish Chemicals Oy for antitrust activity in the company's sodium chlorate business during 1994-2000. Kemira Oyj acquired Finnish Chemicals in 2005. Kemira defends against the claim of CDC Project 13 SA.
Kemira is currently not in a position to make any estimate regarding the duration or the likely outcome of the processes started by Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA and CDC Project 13 SA. No assurance can be given as to the outcome of the processes, and unfavourable judgments against Kemira could have a material adverse effect on Kemira's business, financial condition or results of operations. Due to its extensive international operations the Group, in addition to the above referred claims, is involved in a number of other legal proceedings incidental to these operations and it does not expect the outcome of these other currently pending legal proceedings to have materially adverse effect upon its consolidated results or financial position.
In June 2012 Kemira Oyj received dividends EUR 5.3 million and paid in capital EUR 27.3 million from the associated company Sachtleben. Other transactions with related parties have not changed materially after annual closing 2011.

The fair values of the instruments which are publicly traded are based on market valuation on the date of reporting. Other instruments have been valuated based on net present values of future cash flows. Valuation models have been used to estimate the fair values of options.
Nominal values of the financial instruments do not necessarily correspond to the actual cash flows between the counterparties, and individual items do not therefore give a fair view of the Group's risk position.
