MARKET OUTLOOK

Customers are cautious about investing due to modest volume growth in manufacturing and process industries, as well as container handling. The companies operating in emerging and commodity markets are particularly under pressure to save costs. The demand situation in Europe and North America is mixed. Low growth in global container throughput has led to a slow decision-making among container terminal operators. The quarterly Equipment order intake may fluctuate due to the timing of the large port crane projects.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Due to the very recent acquisition of the Terex's MHPS business, Konecranes believes that it is not appropriate to provide financial guidance for the new combined business at the present time and intends to provide financial guidance in conjunction with its Interim Report January–March 2017.

* Adjustments (corresponding to term non-recurring items in 2015) include restructuring costs, transaction costs related to the terminated merger plan with Terex Corporation, and acquisition of Terex's MHPS business and related activities, unwarranted payments due to identity theft and fraudulent actions (in the third quarter of 2015), and insurance indemnity and returned funds related to identity theft and fraudulent actions (in the second and third quarter of 2016). Konecranes' management believes that the adjusted operating profit is relevant to understanding the comparable financial performance when comparing the result for the current period with the previous periods.

**) The Board's proposal to AGM

President and CEO Panu Routila:

"We had a satisfactory performance in 2016. This makes us well-prepared for the integration of the MHPS business that was acquired in early 2017. Group order intake grew by 16.1 percent, sales by 0.7 percent, and adjusted EBIT by 17.0 percent in the fourth quarter. Cash flow strengthened toward the year-end 2016, which lowered gearing to 29 percent.

The profitability improvement, despite the lack of volume growth, demonstrates that our actions to cut manufacturing capacity and the introduction of a new operating model based on direct product line organization and P&L responsibilities have improved our competitiveness. These factors and streamlining of the middle management meant cost savings of more than EUR 30 million in 2016, which is visible in lower fixed costs.

While the fourth quarter order intake was the highest of the year, it also reflects continued challenging market conditions. The highlight of the quarter were the orders from the Virginia Port Authority for 86 automated stacking cranes valued more than EUR 200 million. This was the largest deal in the history of Konecranes. With deliveries extending to 2020, it gives a good base load for our port cranes business.

Service has prioritized efficiency over growth. Our restructuring actions in a weak market, particularly among industrial customers in the Americas, held back growth in 2016. Furthermore, low investment levels within process industries and commodity sectors weighed on the demand for industrial cranes and components. Likewise, weak growth in container throughput and a focus on M&A has affected terminal operators' appetite for capacity expansions. Our comparable order book for the current year's deliveries is therefore lower than was the corresponding situation a year ago. From this perspective, the recent strengthening of the Purchasing Managers' Indexes and return to growth in container traffic is welcome development.

Our acquisition of Terex Corporation's MHPS business was closed on January 4, 2017. We are extremely proud to combine forces with MHPS. We want to provide a home for Demag and Port Solutions, from which these businesses can grow and become stronger as part of our joint organization. The sound industrial logic of the MHPS acquisition makes it possible for us to realize a long list of synergies. Based on the initiated integration work, we continue to be confident on the targeted synergies of EUR 140 million p.a. within three years, of which EUR 35 million is expected to be implemented by the end of 2017."

2016 Board of Directors' report

MARKET REVIEW

The activity in the world's manufacturing sector, according to the aggregated JPMorgan Global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), picked up steam in the second half of 2016. This followed stagnant development in the first half of 2016. By area, growth was generally led by the US and Western Europe regions. However, the performance of the Asia region also improved.

According to the PMI surveys in the Eurozone, expansion of the manufacturing production accelerated toward year-end 2016. In December, the Eurozone manufacturing PMI was at its highest level since April 2011. National data pointed to a broad-based improvement. Growth was strongest in the Netherlands and Austria, which were closely followed by Germany and Spain. Also France, where manufacturing production contracted in the three first quarters of 2016, saw a return to growth in the fourth quarter.

Outside the Eurozone, the UK PMI posted a strong finish to 2016 following a short period of volatility around the EU referendum in June as the weaker Sterling exchange rate drove export orders higher. In Sweden, manufacturing activity continued to expand strongly throughout the year. The European Union manufacturing capacity utilization rate slightly improved in 2016.

Similar to Europe, the economic activity in the U.S. manufacturing sector, measured by the PMI, picked up toward the end of 2016. This did not yet reflect in the U.S. manufacturing capacity utilization rate, which declined slightly from 2015. The total industrial capacity utilization rate, which declined heavily in 2015 due to commodity sectors, stabilized in 2016.

Based on the PMIs, the BRIC countries remained the weakest links. The year 2016 started on a weak note in Chinese and Russian manufacturing sectors, but they finished the year in a growth mode. Modest growth could be overall observed in India. In Brazil, the PMI pointed to a continued contraction in manufacturing output the entire year.

Compared to the previous year, the demand for industrial cranes improved in 2016, mainly owing to the pick-up in orders for heavy-duty cranes in the Americas. The demand for industrial cranes was at a par with the previous year's level in EMEA, whereas the demand weakened in APAC. The demand for hoists declined in all regions.

The global container throughput grew only by approximately 1 percent in 2016. The number of idle container ships – ships not used for commercial operations – doubled in 2016 due to overcapacity. The bright spots for container traffic included Europe-Middle East, Asia-North America, and Asia-Oceania routes. The weakest routes were between Europe-South America, Asia-South America, and Asia-West Africa.

Due to weak growth in container throughput and focus on M&A, most of the terminal operators' capacity expansion plans were put under review in 2016. This affected the demand for port cranes. However, the interest in automated port solutions remained high.

The demand for lift trucks declined from the previous year, mainly due to weaker demand in the Americas. The demand was rather stable in EMEA, while the demand grew in APAC.

The demand for lifting equipment services grew in EMEA, whereas the demand for services decreased from the previous year in the Americas and APAC. The demand in the Americas and APAC was hit by commodity sectors.

Raw material prices, including steel, copper, and oil bottomed out in the first quarter of 2016 and were above the previous year's level at the end of 2016. The average EUR/ USD exchange rate was stable on a year-on-year basis.

Note: Unless otherwise stated, the figures in brackets in the sections below refer to the same period in the previous year.

ORDERS RECEIVED

In 2016, the orders received fell by 2.3 percent to EUR 1,920.7 million (1,965.5). Orders received decreased by 4.3 percent in Service and by 3.2 percent in Equipment. Orders received rose in the Americas, but fell in EMEA and APAC.

The fourth quarter order intake grew by 16.1 percent from a year before to EUR 595.1 million (512.5). Order intake decreased by 4.9 in Service, but increased by 25.3 percent in Equipment. Orders received increased in the Americas, but decreased in EMEA and APAC.

In the fourth quarter, Konecranes received an order from the Virginia Port Authority for 86 automated stacking cranes. The value of the contracts exceeded EUR 200 million. This was the largest deal in the history of Konecranes. On the other hand, the fourth quarter order intake included unusually high cancellations for approximately EUR 18 million, the majority of which related to a single port crane project.

ORDER BOOK

The value of the order book at year-end 2016 totaled EUR 1,038.0 million (1,036.5), which was 0.1 percent higher than at the end of 2015. Service accounted for EUR 173.3 million (17 percent) and Equipment for EUR 864.7 million (83 percent) of the total end-December order book.

ACQUISITION OF TEREX'S MHPS BUSINESS

On May 16, 2016, Konecranes signed an agreement to acquire from Terex Corporation ("Terex") its Material Handling & Port Solutions ("MHPS") segment ("MHPS Acquisition") against consideration consisting of cash and shares, and to terminate the previously announced business combination agreement.

The consideration for the MHPS business is USD 595 million and EUR 200 million in cash, and 19,600,000 new class B shares. Pursuant to the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement dated May 16, 2016 (the "SAPA"), the final cash consideration is subject to post-closing adjustments for cash, debt, working capital, and the closing of the sale of the STAHL CraneSystems business. The final number of class B shares may be subject to certain adjustments in accordance with the SAPA.

The MHPS Acquisition will offer significant industrial and operational synergies targeted at EUR 140 million p.a. at EBIT level within three years from closing. One-time integration expenses are expected to be EUR 130 million, with expected EUR 60 million of capex. The MHPS Acquisition is expected to be EPS accretive from inception (adjusted for non-recurring integration costs and purchase price allocationrelated amortization).

According to unaudited special purpose carve-out financial information, the sales of MHPS (including Crane America Services) were USD 1,542 million (EUR 1,391 million) and the adjusted EBITDA was USD 111 million (EUR 100 million) in 2015.

On August 1, Konecranes signed EUR 1,500 million unsecured financing facilities to fund the MHPS Acquisition. The committed credit facility includes a syndicated EUR 300 million term loan with a tenor of three years, EUR 600 million amortizing term loan with a tenor of five years and EUR 400 million revolving credit facility with a tenor of five years alongside a EUR 200 million bridge term loan facility.

On December 29, Konecranes announced that the Board of Directors has decided on a directed share issue of 19,600,000 new class B shares to the Terex's affiliate Terex Deutschland GmbH. The decision on the share issue was based on the authorization granted to the Board of Directors by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on September 15, 2016, to issue a maximum of 24,583,721 new class B shares to Terex or its designated affiliates.

The MHPS Acquisition was completed on January 4, 2017.

DIVESTMENT OF STAHL CRANESYSTEMS BUSINESS

On December 7, Konecranes announced that it has signed an agreement with Columbus McKinnon Corporation ("Columbus McKinnon") regarding the divestment of the STAHL CraneSystems business ("STAHL Divestment"). The STAHL Divestment related to the European Commission's approval of Konecranes' MHPS Acquisition, which was conditional on Konecranes divesting its STAHL CraneSystems business.

The STAHL Divestment was completed on January 31, 2017. However, the consolidation of STAHL CraneSystems' operations in Konecranes' financial statements ended already in the beginning of 2017.

The final selling price was EUR 224 million. Additionally, Columbus McKinnon assumed unfunded pension liabilities that were EUR 67 million as of December 31, 2016. Konecranes expects to book an after-tax capital gain of approximately EUR 200 million from the STAHL Divestment in the first quarter of 2017.

STAHL CraneSystems' sales outside the Konecranes Group totaled approximately EUR 130 million and the EBITDA was approximately EUR 26 million in 2016.

Konecranes will use the proceeds from the STAHL Crane-Systems divestment to amortize the loans related to the MHPS Acquisition.

In addition, the General Meeting approved the shareholder's proposal for additional remuneration to members of the Board of Directors.

The General Meeting approved the Board of Directors' proposal that the Articles of Association of the company be amended. The amendments to the Articles of Association include, inter alia, the creation of a new class of B shares to be issued to Terex in connection with the closing of the

MHPS Acquisition, which have the same financial rights as Konecranes ordinary shares but are subject to voting and transfer restrictions, and confer upon Terex the right to appoint up to two members to the Board of Directors of Konecranes as long as Terex's or its Group companies' shareholding in Konecranes exceeds certain specified thresholds. As long as Terex or any of its Group companies owns class B shares, any amendment of the Articles of Association relating to class B shares requires the consent of Terex.

Terex has informed the company that its initial Board appointees will be David Sachs and Oren Shaffer, whose term as members of the Board of Directors will begin as of the closing of the MHPS Acquisition.

The General Meeting authorized the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of a maximum of 24,583,721 new class B shares in deviation from the shareholders' preemptive subscription rights during the effective period of the authorization.

The EGM further authorized the Board of Directors to resolve on all other terms and conditions of the issuance of shares.

The General Meeting confirmed the annual remuneration payable to the members of the Board of Directors to be as of the closing of the Acquisition as follows: Chairman of the Board EUR 140,000, Vice Chairman of the Board EUR 100,000, and the other Board members: EUR 70,000.

The General Meeting approved the proposal of the Nomination and Compensation Committee that the number of members of the Board of Directors shall be increased to eight (8) as of the closing of the General Meeting.

The General Meeting further approved that the number of the members of the Board of Directors shall be increased to ten (10) as of the closing of the Acquisition when the two members of the Board of Directors appointed by Terex join the Board of Directors.

PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN

The long-term incentive plan consists of one discretionary period, calendar year 2016. Approximately 200 key employees, including the members of the Group Executive Board and Senior Management, belong to the target group of the plan.

The potential reward from the plan will be based on the continuation of the key employee´s employment or service and on the Konecranes Group's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). The rewards to be paid on the basis of the plan correspond to an approximate maximum total number of 700,000 Konecranes Plc shares, also including the portion to be paid in cash.

The potential reward from the plan will be paid partly in Konecranes shares and partly in cash after the discretionary period, by the end of August 2017.

The shares paid as reward may not be transferred during a restriction period established for the shares. The restriction period shall begin from reward payment and end on December 31, 2018.

The members of the Group Executive Board and Senior Management must retain 50 percent of net shares received on the basis of the plan until such member´s share ownership equals his or her annual gross base salary. Such number of shares must be held as long as such member´s employment or service at Konecranes continues.

EMPLOYEE SHARE SAVINGS PLAN

On February 23, 2016, the Board of Directors of Konecranes Plc decided on a directed share issue related to the reward payment for the Savings Period 2012–2013 of the Konecranes Employee Share Savings Plan.

On June 15, 2016, Konecranes announced that the Board has decided to launch a new Plan Period. The new plan period will begin on September 1, 2016 and end on June 30, 2017. The maximum savings amount per participant during one month is 5 percent of gross salary and the minimum is EUR 50. Each participant will receive one free matching share for every two acquired savings shares. Matching shares will be delivered to a participant if the participant holds the acquired shares from the plan period until the end of the designated holding period, February 15, 2020, and if his or her employment has not ended before this date for reasons attributable to the employee. The total amount of all savings of the commencing plan period may not exceed EUR 8.5 million. The terms and conditions of the Plan Period 2016—2017 are unchanged from the previous Plan Periods.

Shares will be acquired with the accrued savings at the market price quarterly, after the publication dates of the Konecranes interim results, commencing in October 2016.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

In 2016, Konecranes' research and product development expenditure totaled EUR 22.3 (28.7) million, representing 1.1 (1.3) percent of sales. R&D expenditure includes product development projects aimed at improving the quality and cost efficiency of both products and services.

In 2016, our development work focused on leveraging the connected data our technologies provide to create superior Industrial Internet applications. Preventive maintenance and usage analysis solutions took priority among these, centering upon further development of our TRUCONNECT systems. The remote operation of cranes was another strong focus area.

In February, Konecranes presented its repositioned TRU-CONNECT Remote Service suite and improved functionality of the yourKONECRANES.com customer portal, which became available to customers in more countries. Furthermore, Konecranes and Aalto University agreed on cooperation within the area of Industrial Internet. Moreover, Konecranes hosted its third hackathon event: the "Maritime Hack – Automated cargo handling".

In June, Konecranes announced an all-new container weighing system for lift trucks. The system can be retrofitted to existing machines, and allows the reach stacker to measure the weight of the lifted container with one percent fullscale accuracy in less than five seconds. Our fully embedded weighing solutions enable seamless interchange of data with the customer's TOS/TMS or ERP system.

In addition, in June, 2016 Konecranes introduced the new BOXPORTER rail mounted gantry crane. BOXPORTER offers the clearest view in intermodal container handling, with its new cabin giving the operator superb visibility and comfort. It also gives the operator an extended view to truck and train loading and unloading and container stacking thanks to video and control information displayed on the cabin monitor.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

2016 was a busy year to our personnel due to M&A activities and organizational changes. The matrix organization was dismantled in favor of direct product line organization. Internal changes continued with rationalization of the management layers and streamlining of the organization.

In June, we undertook an employee survey on the MHPS Acquisition, which included some parts of employee satisfaction surveys in earlier years to offer continuous progress tracking. A comparison to the earlier employee satisfaction surveys showed that the employee satisfaction and engagement had improved since 2015.

We decided to take a common learning management system globally into use and its implementation was completed in the original pilot areas and is progressing to other countries. Moreover, people-centered key performance indicators were developed further and information created by analyzing data was made visible for the management to support factbased decision-making.

Konecranes safety policy was renewed in 2016. We continued our serious injury and fatality ("SIF") prevention program, i.e. focusing on deeper analysis and incident investigations of cases with SIF potential, in terms of both incidents and near-misses. During 2016, we also introduced a globally harmonized template and a practice of the dynamic risk assessment at the job site in our service business. The LTA1 indicator for work-related accidents improved to 5.8 (5.9). There were no occupational fatalities.

Similarly to the occupational safety, we issued a completely renewed environmental policy in 2016. Many locations implemented energy-efficiency enhancing actions, such as installing improved compressed air systems and solar panels and changing to LED lights.

We continued reporting on our progress to external investor ratings, such as CDP. In the CDP survey, Konecranes achieved result B (98 C), which implies that Konecranes has taken actions to address the environmental issues beyond initial screenings or assessments. During 2016, Konecranes actively took part in creating a Finnish Circular Economy roadmap, moderated by Sitra, a Finland-based future fund.

One key effort during 2016 was the roll out of e-learning to address fraud prevention and to teach employees to recognize the most typical signs of fraud. It also highlighted the importance of our internal controls and promoted our confidential whistleblower channel.

We continued professional management of our suppliers as in the previous years. In addition, we continued piloting deeper corporate responsibility audits by a third party. The first in-depth third-party corporate responsibility audits took place in China at the end of 2015 and the pilot continued in India during 2016. In total, over 20 in-depth audits were conducted.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Konecranes operates in the emerging countries that entail political, economic, and regulatory uncertainties. Adverse changes in the operating environment of these countries may result in currency losses, elevated delivery costs, or loss of assets. Konecranes operates a crane factory in Zaporozhye, Ukraine. On December 31, 2016, the value of the total assets related to the Zaporozhye factory amounted to approximately EUR 7 million.

The operations in emerging countries have had a negative impact on the aging structure of accounts receivable and may increase credit losses or the need for higher provisions for doubtful accounts.

Konecranes has made several acquisitions and expanded organically into new countries. A failure to integrate the acquired businesses, MHPS in particular, or grow newly established operations may result in a decrease in profitability and impairment of goodwill and other assets.

One of the key strategic initiatives of Konecranes is oneKONECRANES. This initiative involves a major capital expenditure for the information systems. A higher-thanexpected development or implementation costs, or a failure to extract business benefits from the new processes and systems may lead to an impairment of assets or decrease in profitability.

Konecranes delivers projects, which involve the risks related to, for example, engineering and project execution including Konecranes' suppliers. A failure to plan or manage these projects may lead to higher-than-estimated costs or disputes with customers.

Challenges in financing, e.g., due to currency fluctuations, may force customers to postpone projects or even cancel the existing orders. Konecranes intends to avoid incurring costs for major projects under construction in excess of advance payments. However, it is possible that the cost-related commitments in some projects temporarily exceed the amount of advance payments.

The Group's other risks are presented in the Annual Report.

LITIGATION

Various legal actions, claims, and other proceedings are pending against the Group in different countries. These actions, claims, and other proceedings are typical for this industry and are consistent with the global business offering that encompasses a wide range of products and services. These matters involve contractual disputes, warranty claims, product liability (including design defects, manufacturing defects, failure to warn, and asbestos legacy), employment, auto liability, and other matters involving general liability claims.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

BOARD OF DIRECTORS' PROPOSAL FOR DISPOSAL OF DISTRIBUTABLE FUNDS

The parent company's non-restricted equity is EUR 258,938,606.48, of which the net income for the year is EUR 43,570,310.23. The Group's non-restricted equity is EUR 361,016,000.

According to the Finnish Companies Act, the distributable funds of the company are calculated based on the parent company's non-restricted equity. For the purpose of determining the amount of the dividend, the Board of Directors has assessed the liquidity of the parent company and the economic circumstances subsequent to the end of fiscal year.

Based on such assessments, the Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 1.05 be paid on each share and that the remaining nonrestricted equity is retained in shareholders' equity.

Guarantees

The guarantees are related to the fact that from time to time Konecranes provides customers with guarantees that guarantee the Company's obligations pursuant to the applicable customer contract. In sale of investment goods (machinery) the typical guarantees are the following:

tender guarantees (bid bonds) given to the customer to secure the bidding process
advance payment guarantees given to the customer to secure their down payment for project
performance guarantees to secure customers over the Company's own performance in customer contracts, and
warranty period guarantees to secure the correction of defects during the warranty period.

Contingent liabilities relating to litigation

Various legal actions, claims and other proceedings are pending against the Group in various countries. These actions, claims and other proceedings are typical for this industry and consistent with a global business offering that encompasses a wide range of products and services. These matters involve contractual disputes, warranty claims, product liability (including design defects, manufacturing defects, failure to warn and asbestos legacy), employment, vehicles and other matters involving claims of general liability.

While the final outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, Konecranes is of the opinion, based on the information available to date and considering the grounds presented for such claims, the available insurance coverage and the reserves made, that the outcome of such actions, claims and other proceedings, if unfavorable, would not have a material, adverse impact on the financial condition of the Group.

The Company continues to have healthy gearing ratio of 29,1% (31.12.2015: 44.6%) which is in compliance with the bank covenants the Company has to comply with. The Group has no quantitative targets for the capital structure but the optimal longterm gearing ratio is in the range of 50 – 80%. However, in the short term, the gearing can also be significantly higher or lower than this range depending on the short-term changes in working capital. The MHPS acquisition in 2017 will change the capital structure significantly and the Group considers new quantitative targets for capital structure management. The objectives of the Group's capital management have been met in recent years.

Derivatives are initially recorded in the balance sheet at fair value and subsequently measured at fair value at each balance sheet date. All derivatives are carried as assets when fair value is positive and liabilities when fair value is negative. Derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges (hedge accounting) are measured at fair value, and the change in fair value is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. When the derivative is designated as a hedge (hedge accounting) the effective part of the change in fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income. Any ineffective part is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. The foreign exchange forward contracts are measured based on the closing date's observable spot exchange rates and the quoted yield curves of the respective currencies. Interest rate swaps are measured based on present value of the cash flows, which are discounted based on the quoted yield curves.

14.2 Fair values

Set out below is a comparison, by class, of the carrying amounts and fair value of the Group's financial assets and liabilities:

Account and other payables	130.5	171.0	130.5	171.3

The management assessed that cash and short-term deposits, trade receivables, trade payables, bank overdrafts and other current payables approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Long-term fixed-rate and variable-rate borrowings are evaluated by the Group based on parameters such as interest rates and the risk characteristics of the loan.

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

The Group enters into other foreign exchange and electricity forward contracts or currency options with the intention of reducing the risk of expected sales and purchases, these other contracts are not designated in hedge relationships and are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The majority of currency options relates to the hedging structure of the Terex MHPS acquisition currency risk.

CASH FLOW HEDGES

Foreign currency risk

Foreign exchange forward and option contracts measured at fair value through OCI are designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges of forecast sales and purchases in US dollar. These forecast transactions are highly probable, and they comprise about 84.7% of the Group's total hedged transaction flows of which 64.2% is related to the hedging of the purchase price of MHPS acquisition denominated in USD (595 million).

The foreign exchange forward contract balances vary with the level of expected foreign currency sales and purchases and changes in foreign exchange forward rates.

At the inception of these deals the Company assess whether the critical terms of the foreign currency forward contracts match the terms of the expected highly probable forecast transactions. On a quarterly basis the Company performs quantitative effectiveness test using the dollar value method approach by comparison of past changes in the cash flows of the hedged item that are attributable to the hedged risk with past changes in the cash flows of the hedging instrument and reviews whether the actual results of the hedge are within a range of 80–125 per cent. As a result, no hedge ineffectiveness arises requiring recognition through profit or loss.

Interest rate risk

At December 31, 2015, the Group had an interest rate swap agreement in place with a notional amount of EUR 100 million whereby the Group received a variable interest rate equal to EURIBOR 1 month and paid interest at a fixed swap rate on the notional amount. The swap was being used to hedge the cash flow exposure on interest.

The cash flow hedges of the expected future sales in 2016 and 2015 were assessed to be highly effective and a net unrealized loss, with a deferred tax asset of relating to the hedging instruments, is included in OCI. The amounts recognized in OCI are shown in the table below and the reclassifications to profit or loss during the year are as shown in the consolidated statement of income.
