FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

(COMPARISON TO COMBINED COMPANY FIGURES*)

  • Order intake EUR 734.5 million (656.9), +11.8 percent
  • Sales EUR 683.0 million (716.4), -4.7 percent
  • Adjusted EBITA EUR 30.6 million (8.7), 4.5 percent of sales (1.2).

MARKET OUTLOOK

Economic indicators related to manufacturing industries have strengthened, which appears to improve customers' willingness to proceed with their investment plans. Demand situation in Europe is gradually improving. Business activity in the North American manufacturing industry remains mixed. Demand in emerging markets is showing signs of bottoming out. Global container throughput growth has improved and the prospects for small and medium-sized orders related to container handling have somewhat strengthened.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

The sales in 2017 are expected to be close to the comparable combined company sales in 2016 (EUR 3,278 million). We expect the adjusted EBITA to total EUR 195–215 million in 2017 (comparable combined company adjusted EBITA was EUR 184 million in 2016).

The comparable combined company's operations comprise Konecranes' operations without the divested STAHL CraneSystems business, but including the acquired MHPS business. See the stock exchange releases published on April 10, 2017, and April 13, 2017, for further financial information including the basis of preparation for the comparable combined company.

  • This Report contains comparisons to both Konecranes' historical figures as well as combined company figures. Historical figures relate to Konecranes' stand-alone financial information as reported for 2016 (including the divested STAHL CraneSystems business).

To provide a basis for comparison, this Report contains also under separate headings comparisons to combined company's financial information on an unaudited basis estimated by the management for 2016. This financial information has been prepared to reflect the financial results of the combined company as if it had been operating as such for the full financial year of 2016. The comparable combined company's operations comprise Konecranes' operations without the divested STAHL CraneSystems business, but including the acquired MHPS business. See "Basis of preparation for comparable combined company" for further information.

Comparable combined company's financial information concerns an assumed situation and does not therefore reflect the true financial position or result of the company during 2016.

Interim Report

President and CEO Panu Routila:

"The first quarter was a defining step in the history of Konecranes as the acquisition of MHPS business was completed on January 4. The first months of the combined company have been proceeding as planned. The acquisition has been very well-received by our customers and employees. The integration of the organizations is proceeding well and we can be satisfied that our sales organization has not been distracted by the integration. The high engagement and positive sentiment among the employees gives us good grounds for the next steps.

The integration of MHPS is underway in many areas. Most of the first realized synergy benefits have related to Business Area Service and procurement. Our North American frontline operations in Service have already been combined and it was executed even faster than we originally anticipated. Integration within Business Area Industrial Equipment and Port Solutions is now in the detailing phase as planned. We continue to be confident in the targeted EBIT level synergies of EUR 140 million p.a. within three years, EUR 35 million of which is expected to be implemented by the end of 2017. Approximately a half of the targeted synergies for 2017 have already been implemented on a run-rate basis.

The divestment of Stahl CraneSystems was successfully completed on January 31. We booked a capital gain of EUR 218 million from the transaction in our first quarter result.

We had a strong start to 2017 as our comparable combined company order intake grew by 11.8 percent. Order growth was strongest in the Business Area Port Solutions, which saw a clear increase in the demand for most of its products and services. Within industrial customers, particularly the demand for parts and crane components improved in all regions. Also, industrial crane orders grew from the previous year on a comparable basis excluding the effect of some unusually large single heavy-duty crane orders that were received in the Americas in the comparison period; orders for industrial cranes rose in EMEA and APAC. Comparable

Service orders were stable year-on-year on a basis, which matched our expectation for the first quarter.

Group sales were 4.7 percent below the previous year on a comparable basis mainly due to Business Area Port Solutions. The sales decrease in Business Area Port Solutions related to the timing of deliveries and exceptionally high sales of certain products in the comparison period. Comparable Service sales grew moderately, whereas Industrial Equipment sales declined slightly year-on-year on a basis.

Despite the sales decrease, our comparable adjusted EBITA margin expanded by 3.3 percentage points to 4.5 percent of sales. In Service, the adjusted EBITA margin increased by 1.9 percentage points thanks to the moderate sales growth and lower fixed costs. In Industrial Equipment, the 5.3 percentage points' improvement in the adjusted EBITA margin related mainly to the cost-saving measures implemented in 2016, as well as successful deliveries. In 2016, Konecranes reduced industrial crane manufacturing capacity in several countries including China, India, Brazil, and the US. Sales growth in lift truck and service operations, as well as good project execution leading to better than expected margins from some completed projects lifted Port solutions' EBITA margin by 1.4 percentage points. Comparable gross margin rose and fixed costs were below the previous year's level in both Industrial Equipment and Port Solutions.

Free cash flow was very strong at EUR 88 million on the back of improved profitability and positive change in the net working capital. Coupled with the proceeds from the STAHL Crane-Systems divestment, this significantly strengthened our balance sheet and our interest-bearing net debt amounted to EUR 536 million at the end of March.

The macroeconomic indicators started to support the order intake in the first quarter. Market sentiment has become more positive and this is reflected in our market outlook."

Interim report January–March 2017

COMPARISONS TO HISTORICAL AND COMBINED COMPANY FIGURES

This Report contains comparisons to both Konecranes' historical figures as well as combined company figures. Historical figures relate to Konecranes' stand-alone financial information as reported in 2016 (including the divested STAHL CraneSystems business).

To provide a basis for comparison, this Report contains also under separate headings comparisons to combined company's financial information on an unaudited basis estimated by the management for 2016. This financial information has been prepared to reflect the financial results of the combined company as if it had been operating as such for the full financial year of 2016. The comparable combined company's operations comprise Konecranes' operations without the divested STAHL CraneSystems business, but including the acquired MHPS business. See "Basis of preparation for comparable combined company" for further information.

Comparable combined company's financial information concerns an assumed situation and does not therefore reflect the true financial position or result of the company during 2016.

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

MARKET REVIEW

The activity in the world's manufacturing sector, according to the aggregated JPMorgan Global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), continued to expand in January–March 2017. The average reading over the first quarter as a whole was the best outcome since the second quarter of 2011.

The euro area remained a bright spot within the global manufacturing sector. Its PMI rose to a near six-year record high, with growth improving in each of the Eurozone's big-three nations (Germany, France, and Italy). Outside the Eurozone, the performance of the UK and particularly the Swedish manufacturing sectors remained solid during the first quarter, as well. The European Union manufacturing capacity utilization rate continued to improve slightly.

Similar to Europe, the economic activity in the U.S. manufacturing sector, measured by the PMI, expanded in January–March 2017. Correspondingly, the U.S. manufacturing capacity utilization rate showed an uptick after having slightly declined since the end of 2014. However, the total industrial capacity utilization rate did not yet show an improvement.

Compared to the previous year, PMIs also rose in the BRIC countries, but the rate of expansion remained more modest than in Europe or the U.S.A. Activity in the Brazilian manufacturing sector continued to deteriorate in January–March, but the rate of contraction eased toward the end of the first quarter.

Compared to the previous year, the demand for industrial cranes weakened due to lower orders in the Americas where the comparison period included some unusually large single heavy-duty crane orders. The demand for industrial cranes improved in EMEA and APAC. The demand for crane components rose across the globe. The demand for lifting equipment services remained stable.

Following a recovery in the second half of 2016, the global container traffic remained robust as it increased by approximately 5 percent on a year-on-year basis in January–March 2017. Correspondingly, the market for port cranes showed signs of a recovery in the first quarter of 2017. Particularly, small and medium-sized investment projects were more active. Also, demand for lift trucks was brisk.

Raw material prices, including steel, copper, and oil, which bottomed out in the first quarter of 2016 were above the previous year's level at end-March 2017. The average EUR/USD exchange rate was approximately stable on a year-on-year basis.

ORDERS RECEIVED

Orders received in January–March totaled EUR 734.5 million (425.1), representing an increase of 72.8 percent mainly due to the MHPS acquisition. Orders received increased by 34.7 percent in Service, by 28.5 percent in Industrial Equipment and by 254.7 percent in Port Solutions compared to the year before. Orders received grew in all regions.

Comparison to combined company figures

Orders received in January–March totaled EUR 734.5 million (656.9), representing an increase of 11.8 percent. Orders received increased by 0.4 percent in Service and by 44.1 percent in Port Solutions, but decreased by 1.8 percent in Industrial Equipment compared to the year before. Orders received grew in EMEA as well as in APAC, and were stable in the Americas.

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.

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-than-expected 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.

MARKET OUTLOOK

Economic indicators related to manufacturing industries have strengthened, which appears to improve customers' willingness to proceed with their investment plans. Demand situation in Europe is gradually improving. Business activity in the North American manufacturing industry remains mixed. Demand in emerging markets is showing signs of bottoming out. Global container throughput growth has improved and the prospects for small and medium-sized orders related to container handling have somewhat strengthened.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

The sales in 2017 are expected to be close to the comparable combined company sales in 2016 (EUR 3,278 million). We expect the adjusted EBITA to total EUR 195-215 million in 2017 (comparable combined company adjusted EBITA was EUR 184 million in 2016).

The comparable combined company's operations comprise Konecranes' operations without the divested STAHL CraneSystems business, but including the acquired MHPS business. See the stock exchange releases published on April 10, 2017, and April 13, 2017, for further financial information including the basis of preparation for the comparable combined company.

BASIS OF PREPARATION FOR COMPARABLE COMBINED COMPANY

The comparable combined company financial information is based on management's estimates and is for illustrative purposes only. The comparable combined company financial information gives an indication of the combined company's key figures assuming the activities were included in the same company from the beginning of 2016.

The comparable combined company financial information is based on a hypothetical situation and should not be viewed as pro forma financial information as differences in accounting principles have not been taken into account. The unaudited comparable combined company financial information is based on Konecranes Group's financial statements for the financial year 2016 (adjusted for restructuring costs, transaction costs and received insurance indemnity) according to IFRS and Terex Corporations's ("Terex") MHPS segment unaudited special purpose carve-out financial information for the financial year 2016 (adjusted for non-recurring items such as restructuring costs and impairments of goodwill and trademarks) according to USGAAP. The corporation allocations of Terex Group have been adjusted in MHPS income statement to illustrate the situation as the Group had been combined at the beginning of 2016.

As the financial information for MHPS has been prepared on a carve-out basis, this does not necessarily reflect what its results of operations would have been, had MHPS operated as an independent company and had it presented standalone financial information under IFRS during the period presented. Moreover, the carve-out financial information may not be indicative of MHPS's future performance of the operative activities aggregated within Konecranes.

Konecranes is unable to present a reconciliation of the comparable combined company financial information as MHPS' financials have been calculated according to USGAAP and using different accounting principles than Konecranes and as Terex has categorized MHPS as a discontinued operation in 2016.

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.

Interim Report

January-March 2017

Notes

The interest periods are on a floating three months basis for both of the EUR 300 million and 600 million term loans and fixed semi-annual basis for the EUR 50 million R&D loan. The weighted average interest rate for the term loans is 3.06%. The Company is in compliance with the quarterly monitored financial covenants (net debt to ebitda and interest-bearing net debt/equity) for these loans. No specific securities have been given for the loans. The Company continues to have healthy Interest-bearing net debt/Equity ratio of 42.8% (31.3.2016: 52.7%) which is in compliance with the bank covenants the Company has to comply with.

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.

The management assessed that cash and short-term deposits, accounts receivable, accounts payable, 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.

Notes

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 40.7% of the Group's total hedged transaction flows.

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.

The cash flow hedges of the expected future sales in 2017 and 2016 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.
