CEO’s review
Dear shareholders,
Konecranes had a record-breaking year in 2025. Our unique business model came to the fore as geopolitical tensions and uncertainty affected markets.
Konecranes had a record-breaking year in 2025. We successfully executed on our strategy from start to finish and delivered comparable EBITA of EUR 588 million, with an all-time high margin of 14.0%. Sales remained solid and totaled EUR 4.2 billion. Order intake grew significantly, and we ended the year with a strong order book of EUR 3 billion, providing us with a solid foundation for 2026 and beyond.
A global footprint and diversified portfolio for uncertain times
Our unique business model came to the fore in 2025, as geopolitical tensions and uncertainty affected markets. The impact on industries and geographies varied, but thanks to our wide offering, multi-channel approach and global presence we did not experience a downturn, but rather a shift in the relative size of our customer segments. With our industrial customers, we saw positive order development especially in the power, aviation and aerospace, and defense sectors.
Our container handling offering is the widest and the deepest in the world, meaning that we are not overly reliant on the growth of certain sizes of ports or the popularity of single equipment categories. Instead, we remain a leading provider for both large and medium-sized terminals, from nimble mobile equipment to the largest shipyard cranes. Our unmatched service offering for both industrial and port segments forms a core part of our operations, providing resilience against economic cycles, and strong sustained profitability.
I am proud of the Konecranes team’s ability to play to our strengths in 2025 as order intake and sales increased in comparable currencies in all three Business Areas. This is now

the third year of consecutive profitability improvement in each of our three Business Areas.
Industrial Service was able to grow both order intake and sales in comparable currencies in 2025, despite challenging market conditions. I am especially happy that we managed to grow the agreement base during the year, a key component for continued growth in this profitable business. The Service team was very responsive to the market environment and its impressive profitability improvement continued thanks to pricing, execution and good cost management.
Industrial Equipment did solid work on growing orders in 2025, and secured deliveries to customers in a very volatile environment. Profitability has been a key focus within the Business Area, with continued strong progress during the year. Our cost management program continues to yield results, and good execution and mix supported profitability during 2025.
Port Solutions had an excellent year in terms of order intake, providing a solid foundation for further growth in 2026 and beyond. Sales remained on approximately the same level versus a year ago. Profitability improved in 2025, supported by good execution and mix.
Continued innovation to sustain market leadership
Alongside our excellent financial performance in 2025, we further strengthened our material handling leadership with a portfolio of safety and productivity-enhancing and sustainable solutions for customers.
We launched the D-series electric chain hoist, with its robust design making it perfect for customers operating in tough environments. The rollout of our S-series flagship hoist also continued, with strong and increasing interest from customers. Portfolio simplification and renewal continues to be a focus especially within Industrial Equipment.
Our electrified port offering was expanded in 2025, including an e-hybrid version of our popular Rubber-Tired Gantry crane and a new electric model of our reach stacker.
We are now better placed than ever to meet customer needs for productivity and sustainability and we will continue developing our offering for industrial and port customers alike. In 2026 we complete the electrification of our final product lines within the lift truck business.
With its history of innovation spanning more than a century and Core of Lifting componentry consisting of parts designed in-house for the specific purpose of lifting, Konecranes is uniquely positioned to provide leading solutions for our customers.
A business built for the whole lifecycle
Sustainability is an integral part of how we do business. We work closely with customers throughout the lifecycle of our equipment, offering productivity-enhancing services and solutions often for decades. Extending these lifecycles creates value for our customers and is a core part of how we contribute to circularity and smart resource usage.
We develop our offering with these long lifecycles in mind, and our predictive maintenance solutions have received a boost in the past few years by the usage of artificial intelligence. Combining technical, service and usage data we are now better than ever at predicting service and equipment needs – before they become acute. Customers, especially those who operate in industries where uptime is critical, very much appreciate this approach, further cementing our position as a lifecycle partner of choice.
In 2025 we tightened our emission reduction targets for our own operations, reflecting the strong progress we have already made. Since 2019 we have managed to increase sales by some 25% while simultaneously reducing value chain emissions by a fifth. This showcases our ability to innovate electrified and low-emission solutions and our customers' appetite for them, as well as strong supply chain management. Our sustainability work received further recognition in 2025, and I was proud to see us placed in the top 1% globally of all companies measured by EcoVadis.
For Konecranes, environmental sustainability is essential but not our sole focus: we also want everyone to get home safe every day and to build teams where everyone feels respected and included. Safety is a key priority in our product design, our service delivery and at the core of the company culture we want to foster, alongside inclusive and diverse teams.
Looking to 2026 and beyond
Konecranes entered 2026 in a very strong position, with a unique service proposition, renewed offering, as well as a robust and efficient business model. Our order books are on a high level, and our strong balance sheet gives us the opportunity to grow and continue to create long-term shareholder value.
Konecranes' customer base is diverse and global, with our dual-channel market approach giving us comprehensive access to customers. A focus for me as CEO is to build on these very important relationships also going forward. Our broad service and product lifecycle offering continues to give us an advantage when catering to our customers' wide needs and creates stability against customer segment demand volatility.
Our performance in 2025 would not have been possible without our great people. Continuous investment in talent and competence development is the best guarantee for that success also in the future. I am very proud and humbled to be part of such a high-performing team. I want to thank our employees, our customers, partners and shareholders for their trust in us in 2025. We have an exciting year and future ahead of us, and I look forward to the continued collaboration.
Best regards,

Marko Tulokas

Konecranes' global service offering is unmatched and sets it apart in the industry. Service operations account for some 40% of group net sales, the majority of which is generated by Business Area Service that serves industrial customers and the rest by Port Solutions' service operations.
The high proportion of service is the result of a steady focus on growth and a strategy to serve lifting equipment of all brands and makes. Service is a volume business for Konecranes with, as a rule of thumb, increased net sales also improving profitability. This has fueled a steady flow of smaller and targeted acquisitions, with local service companies integrated into Konecranes' offering and provided with state-of-the-art planning and maintenance tools to increase productivity.
Excellent profitability in 2025
In Industrial Service order intake totaled EUR 1,561.1 million during the year, corresponding to an increase of 2.9% in comparable currencies. Sales increased by 1.9% in comparable currencies to reach EUR 1,562.8 million.
The Business Area continued its steady profitability improvement, reaching a strong comparable EBITA margin of 21.8%. The increase in comparable EBITA margin was mainly driven by pricing, execution and good cost management.
A united customer experience for asset data, spare parts and service
Konecranes' customers have long had access to the yourKONECRANES customer portal for industry-leading asset data such as crane maintenance information, asset condition and usage statistics. Customers could

also order spare parts and accessories from the separate Konecranes Store.
In 2025, the Konecranes Portal was launched providing customers with one site for crane maintenance information, asset data, spare parts ordering and helpful content recommendations. Bringing your KONEGRANES and the Konecranes Store into one platform gives customers better transparency into their fleet and relationship with Konecranes. The Portal also streamlines Konecranes' Service processes with online customer quotation approval and quick access to historical crane data for service planning, while also serving as an excellent lead-generation tool through tailored content.
Modernizations and comprehensive maintenance
2025 was also a strong year for Konecranes in modernizing equipment in critical customer categories such as power generation. At the Lochay Power Station in the Scottish Highlands, we were proud to modernize the hydro power plant's original 1958 crane. The trolley and control systems were replaced and new Konecranes CXT hoist units installed. The upgraded system allows for slower, smoother and more precise operations, which is crucial when handling the large and delicate turbines at the plant. All this was done in a way that respects the historical values of the building, showcasing that older cranes at critical sites can be made fit for the future while preserving their significance.
In June 2025, Konecranes booked a wide-ranging service agreement with the Meyer Turku shipyard, a cornerstone of the Finnish maritime industry. The contract covers the maintenance and optimization of some 200 cranes at the site, spanning smaller units handling just 63 kg to a massive 1,200-tonne Goliath gantry crane. The agreement exemplifies Konecranes' ability to optimize large and diverse crane fleets where uptime and efficiency is key.

seamlessly on Konecranes equipment like the Konecranes KBK workstation lifting system, jib cranes and overhead cranes, making it a great fit in all kinds of industrial applications. The D-series launch started in the EMEA region, with strong interest from customers, and a global rollout is currently underway.
The Konecranes S-series hoist was designed to be able to do everything the industry staple Konecranes CXT was able to do – and more. Interest in the S-series was strong in 2025, with the offering deepened by the rollout of the double-girder variant that increases maximum lifting capacity.
Solutions for resilience
Order intake from the defense sector grew for Konecranes in 2025. The sector has been strong for Konecranes
in North America for some time, with the ramp-up of European countries' defense spending providing a boost in orders in 2025. Industrial cranes are used for both the manufacturing and repair of defense equipment such as submarines, tanks and aircraft.
We are also seeing growth in the power sector, where cranes are needed in many different applications. The construction of new nuclear power plants across the world, sparked by the advent of small- and medium-sized reactors, has generated demand for new cranes for that industry. The expansion of waste-to-energy and renewable electricity sources such as hydro power has also created demand, not least in modernizations for the Industrial Service business.

globally launched the E-Hybrid version of its popular Rubber-Tired Gantry (RTG) crane. The launch expands hybrid power beyond traditional diesel-battery RTG operation to electric-battery operation. In addition, we also launched the Konecranes Noell Hydrogen Fuel Cell Straddle Carrier, with test results from a German customer showing the same high performance as diesel and hybrid versions. To date, hydrogen fuel cells have mainly been used with light material handling equipment, so the launch marked an important step forward for heavy material handling equipment. Within the lift truck business, we also unveiled the new electric reach stacker in 2025. The launches are part of Konecranes' broader strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and we remain well on track towards our goal of having all-electric variants for our entire product portfolio by 2026. Our solutions were on show in 2025, with notable orders including an order for 25 new RTG cranes and 10 retrofits for a major Colombian container terminal. BCT Gdynia in Poland helped us make history in August, as their order of eight hybrid RTGs included our 3,000th ever RTG. Mobile Harbor Cranes, among others,
also had a strong year in terms of orders, with the announced orders including terminals in Greece, Brazil, Latvia, Italy, Chile and the Netherlands.
Strong in America
Konecranes has a leading and established position with American port customers and has been actively preparing for increased demand for US-made port cranes. Konecranes has the capability to increase the production of US-made port cranes, following the work in 2024 and 2025 to establish a network of partners for production in the country. The concept, built on an initial mix of friendshoring and domestic manufacturing, includes ship-to-shore (STS) cranes, rail-mounted gantry (RMG) cranes and yard cranes. In addition to outright new equipment, Konecranes offers leading modernization solutions to existing port cranes with the latest technology and cybersecurity standards. This offering improves safety, productivity and sustainability of customer operations and is available also for cranes not originally manufactured by Konecranes.

Building on over a century of innovation, Konecranes' product development also supports environmental sustainability, safety and cybersecurity in the industry. In 2025, Konecranes' R&D expenditure amounted to 78.1 MEUR.
Reimagining material flow
Through Zero4, a research and innovation program co-funded by Business Finland, Konecranes is co-creating a unified material flow platform that seamlessly tracks, orchestrates, visualizes and optimizes the flow of material and intralogistics equipment fleets.
The level of ambition in the project necessitates a broad network of expertise and since its launch in 2023, the program ecosystem has grown to involve more than 90 partners, working across a dozen projects. These projects tackle information barriers, greenhouse gas emissions, energy waste and safety incidents within material flow. One of the projects that has advanced the furthest is MixedFleet, which focuses
on enhancing the collaboration between machines and humans, accelerating the adoption of automation in industrial settings. The project has advanced to the demo stage at Konecranes' Hyvinkää factory, with promising results on effortless collaboration between automated overhead cranes, automated guided vehicles and humans.
Cybersecurity is essential
Industrial manufacturing continues to be a sector highly affected by cyber-attacks. Protecting customer data, building a secure customer offering and safeguarding business continuity remain top priorities for Konecranes. In 2025, Konecranes launched a web-based cybersecurity assurance center for customers to easily access information on our cybersecurity practices. It also allows for reporting of security incidents to Konecranes. Easily accessible and reassuring information is important as customers, especially within critical sectors such as defense, increasingly prioritize cybersecurity.
Konecranes' dedication to cybersecurity is reflected in the numerous certifications obtained, such as ISO 27001 for security management, IEC 62443 4-1 for product development and the UK Cyber Essentials certification.
In 2025, Konecranes strengthened its own business continuity by onboarding a threat intelligence service, improving factory security in all regions, and focusing on the security
of Konecranes' suppliers impacted by new product security regulations in key regions such as the European Union.
Artificial intelligence boosting productivity
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the ways companies operate. Konecranes has a strategic and systematic approach to integrating AI across our business to drive efficiency and new innovation.
Several AI enabled improvements are already delivering measurable results. In addition to building new customer solutions, AI is utilized to boost productivity across multiple functions and business operations. Cranes rely on advanced software-based control systems, and AI has increased the speed with which our software developers can work on them. In service operations, technicians can now use AI-powered app features to instantly access the right equipment manuals on their mobile devices—saving time and improving service accuracy and safety.
To increase AI-awareness and competencies, Konecranes initiated a phased learning program that focuses on building AI literacy. Employees are encouraged to build foundational AI skills, while technical teams deepen their expertise through targeted learning opportunities. At the same time, we continue to build strong in-house AI capabilities to maintain our competitive edge.

A comprehensive approach to sustainability
Sustainability is a core part of Konecranes' strategy and business operations and is focused on four sustainability commitments with measurable targets.
Konecranes wants to be in the forefront of cutting emissions in the material handling industry. Customer needs for electrified and low-emission equipment generate demand for Konecranes' solutions and support emission-reduction targets. The offering is continuously being developed to meet this demand, visible in 2025 through several new product launches.
Konecranes prioritizes safety both in its manufacturing and service operations as well as in the design of its solutions. Getting people safe home every day is one of our most important objectives and the industry-leading safety capabilities of our solutions help customers do the same. Konecranes believes creating high-performing teams requires an inclusive and diverse working environment, and the company actively follows and develops a sense of belonging among its workforce. Konecranes expects high ethical standards from itself and its partners when conducting business.
Strong sustainability performance also in 2025
In 2025, Konecranes' sustainability work was ranked in the highest Platinum tier by sustainability rating agency EcoVadis, putting Konecranes in the top 1% of over 150,000 rated companies globally. The ranking reflects Konecranes' successful ongoing execution of its sustainability agenda and the quality of how it manages sustainability.
Konecranes updated its near-term science-based targets by raising the ambition of own operations' decarbonization efforts, as the original target was reached in 2022.
Konecranes continued the roll-out of the recently renewed Supplier Code of Conduct in 2025, with the increase in coverage supporting even more robust requirements relating to topics such as human rights and environmental responsibility. In 2025, Konecranes fulfilled its commitment set the year prior of paying a living wage to all its employees. The living wage generally goes beyond nationally set minimum wage laws.
Konecranes monitors an Inclusion Index to systematically follow and improve its working environment. In 2025, the Inclusion Index showed a score of 83, which indicates a strong sense of inclusion.

Konecranes’ sustainability commitments and progress in 2025
We enable a decarbonized and circular world
Konecranes’ science-based targets are in line with the Paris Agreement’s objective of limiting global warming to 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels.
Our climate transition plan includes, among other things, the increased usage of low-emission steel and the expansion of fully electrified product offerings, identified as the most impactful actions for future emission reductions. In 2025, our port offering saw the introduction of the electric reach stacker,

electric empty container handler, an E-Hybrid Rubber-Tired Gantry (RTG) crane as well as a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Straddle Carrier. For industrial customers within selected countries in Europe, a low-emission steel option for the overhead crane box girder was made available, enabling a 40 percent reduction in the full crane climate impact according to Life Cycle Assessment calculations (cradle to gate).
Circular economy business models remain central to Konecranes’ operations, exemplified by the company’s leading and extensive service offering. In 2025, the company evaluated new circular business opportunities such as improved waste management and facilitating the reuse of service van shelving. In 2025 Konecranes also reviewed its circularity metrics and targets. As a result, we introduced two new key indicators: revenue linked to circular services and share of landfill waste in manufacturing operations.
We deliver safe and secure material handling
During 2025, Konecranes was able to improve its safety performance with a TRI rate of 5.2, advancing towards the target of less than 3 by 2030. This was mainly achieved by conscious improvement actions, improved management engagement and identification of systemic issues. A global program for sharing safety knowledge was launched as well as more granular reporting on safety performance, allowing better visibility to steer actions.

Konecranes' climate targets
TRANSITION PLAN
External market transformation:
- Customer industries decarbonization
- Steel industry decarbonization
- Energy market decarbonization
Konecranes' own actions:
- Electrifying our offering
- Purchasing steel with lower emissions
- Advancing eco-design and circularity
- Decarbonizing our own operations
Science-based targets, aligned with limiting global warming to $1.5^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$:
1) Original science-based target to halve emissions from own operations by 2030 reached in 2022. New target for own operations (Scope 1 & 2) set in 2025: $60\%$ absolute GHG emission reduction by 2030 from base year 2019.
2) Value chain (Scope 3) science-based target: $50\%$ absolute GHG emission reduction from purchased goods and services and the use of sold products by 2030 from base year 2019. As part of the science-based targets update process in 2025, Konecranes also updated its emission calculations with more accurate information, for example related to energy use assumptions for key products, leading to lower total emissions than previously reported.
In addition to the science-based targets, Konecranes has a separate target of achieving carbon neutral manufacturing operations. Carbon neutrality means first reducing absolute emissions as much as possible, and then offsetting the unavoidable emissions through the purchase of verified carbon credits, which have an immediate impact by delivering finance to emission reduction projects elsewhere.
