Interim Review January 1 – June 30, 2016

Metso's Interim Review January 1 – June 30, 2016

Figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period in 2015, unless otherwise stated. The Process Automation Systems (PAS) business was divested on April 1, 2015. The January-June 2015 comparison numbers for Metso Group and Flow Control including the PAS business are presented in the tables section.

Second quarter 2016 in brief

  • Mining equipment orders increased 6 percent year-on-year
  • Minerals services markets have stabilized; profitability of the business remains healthy
  • Valve orders in Flow Control were stable outside the North American market
  • Orders received totaled EUR 761 million (EUR 823 million), of which EUR 444 million (EUR 495 million) were services orders
  • Net sales totaled EUR 671 million (EUR 756 million), of which services accounted for EUR 439 million (EUR 483 million)
  • Adjusted EBITA totaled EUR 77 million, or 11.5 percent of net sales (EUR 94 million, 12.4%)
  • Free cash flow totaled EUR 74 million (EUR 78 million).

Outlook for 2016 (changes in brackets)

Metso's overall trading conditions in 2016 will be somewhat weaker compared to 2015. Demand for our products and services is expected to develop as follows:

  • remain weak for mining equipment and satisfactory for mining services
  • remain satisfactory for aggregates equipment and services
  • remain satisfactory for Flow Control products related to customers' new investments and good for Flow Control services.

From our end of June 2016 backlog, we expect to invoice about EUR 1.0 billion during the remainder of 2016. Internal efficiency actions will continue to improve competitiveness and mitigate the price pressure that can be seen in the markets that are facing weak or satisfactory demand. Restructuring costs are expected to be higher than in 2015 (on the same level as in 2015). Capital expenditure without acquisitions is expected to be lower than in 2015. Net financial costs are expected to be on the same level as in 2015.

President and CEO Matti Kähkönen:

In the second quarter, the market activity and demand for our products and services continued at roughly the same level seen in the first quarter. The mining equipment market seems to have stabilized and the demand for valves outside the North American market has held up well. We booked one large order for mining equipment during the quarter, which improved our total order intake sequentially. Overall, our orders received declined year-on-year, due to the fact that the activity both in the mining services market and in the North American oil & gas valve market softened to their current levels already during the second half of 2015.

Our financial performance during the quarter was largely dictated by a year-on-year decline in net sales in both segments. I'm pleased to see that our own cost efficiency initiatives have been timely and resolute in keeping our profitability at a good level in these circumstances. Profitability of the mining equipment business improved compared to the first quarter, and the profitability of the services business was at the same healthy level as in the comparison period. Flow Control's profitability will continue to be impacted by lower net sales in North America, which we will continue to compensate for with cost control and by making advances in other markets.

Overall, our end markets are not expected to provide us with any significant support in the near future, which means that we will continue to enhance our customer service and cost efficiency and develop our operating models to make Metso an even better company in the future.

Metso has adopted the ESMA European Securities and Markets Authority guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures which were effective from July 3, 2016. Metso uses alternative performance measures to reflect the underlying business performance and to improve comparability between financial periods. These alternative performance measures should, however, not be considered as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with the IFRS. Metso changes the previously referenced "before non-recurring items" with "adjusted items". Adjusted items affecting comparability and alternative performance measures used by Metso are defined in the tables section of this interim report.

Operating environment, orders received and backlog

The trends in our customer industries were broadly unchanged during the second quarter, although trading activity in some businesses and market areas recovered from the low levels seen in the first quarter. Mining customers' costcutting actions continued to affect the demand for our services business, which is seen especially in activity related to rebuilds and refurbishments. The demand for mining equipment remained weak. In the aggregates business, significant differences in activity still exist between market areas. Our valve customers in the oil & gas industry in North America remained cautious and the demand continued to be soft. On the other hand, activity in other oil & gas markets has been good and the demand for valves has increased in China and Asia-Pacific, in particular.

The Group's orders received in the second quarter decreased 8 percent compared to the same quarter in 2015 and totaled EUR 761 million (EUR 823 million). Compared to the first quarter, however, orders increased close to 15 percent, thanks to one large order for mining equipment from South America. Overall, Minerals' orders declined 8 percent year-on-year and Flow Control's orders declined 7 percent. Metso's services orders were EUR 444 million (EUR 495 million), which is 10 percent lower than in the comparison period. The decline resulted from lower orders in Minerals services, while Flow Control's services orders were flat. Orders were negatively impacted by the weakening of emerging market currencies.

Geographically, orders received grew 11 percent in Western Europe and 2 percent in Africa and Middle East. Good development continued in India where orders increased 46 percent. Orders in South America grew 15 percent as a result of one large mining equipment order, while overall market activity remained subdued, and orders in Brazil, for example, declined 44 percent. Orders in Russia and Eastern Europe declined 12 and 25 percent, respectively. Orders from Asia-Pacific declined 24 percent. Orders from emerging countries accounted for 58 percent of the total order intake.

In January-June orders received totaled EUR 1,424, which is 9 percent lower year-on-year. Our order backlog totaled EUR 1,399, which is 10 percent higher than at the end of 2015. We expect to recognize around 72 percent of this backlog, i.e. about EUR 1 billion, as net sales in the second half of 2016.

Net sales

Net sales in April-June totaled EUR 671 million (EUR 756 million), following lower sales in both Minerals and Flow Control. Minerals sales totaled EUR 504 million, which is 10 percent lower than in the comparison period. Mining equipment sales declined 27 percent, while aggregates equipment sales declined 3 percent. Minerals services sales declined 8 percent and totaled EUR 340 million. Flow Control services sales declined 12 percent following lower valve deliveries to the oil & gas industry. When comparing to the first quarter, Metso's net sales increased 12%.

In January-June, net sales totaled EUR 1,272 million, which is 15 percent lower year-on-year. Services sales totaled EUR 848 million and accounted for 67 percent (of net sales EUR 924 million and 62 percent). A weakening of emerging market currencies had a negative impact on sales in all businesses.

Orders received, net sales and adjusted EBITA margin

EUR million

Financial performance

Adjusted EBITA (earnings before interest, taxes and amortization) in the second quarter was EUR 77 million, or 11.5 percent of net sales (EUR 94 million and 12.4%). Adjusted EBITA in January-June was EUR 133 million, or 10.5 percent of net sales (EUR 172 million and 11.6%). The decline in both the adjusted EBITA and the adjusted EBITA margin resulted from lower net sales, which was not entirely offset by tighter cost control in all businesses.

Net financing expenses in January-June were EUR 21 million (EUR 19 million). Interest expenses accounted for EUR 16 million (EUR 13 million), interest income for EUR 4 million (EUR 3 million), foreign exchange losses for EUR 3 million (EUR 2 million loss), and other net financial expenses for EUR 6 million (EUR 7 million).

Operating profit (EBIT) in the second quarter was EUR 70 million and 10.3 percent of net sales (EUR 347 million and 45.9%, including the capital gain). Operating profit for January-June was EUR 120 million and 9.4 percent of net sales. Profit before taxes was EUR 99 million (EUR 393 million). The operational tax rate for 2016 is expected to be about 30 percent, which is at the same level as in 2015. Net cash generated by operating activities totaled EUR 147 million (EUR 175 million) and free cash flow was EUR 136 million (EUR 165 million). Changes in net working capital had a EUR 4 million positive impact on cash flow.

Financial position

Metso's liquidity position remains solid. Total cash assets at the end of June 2016 were EUR 615 million (EUR 657 million at the end of 2015), of which EUR 104 million (EUR 67 million) was invested in financial instruments with an initial maturity exceeding three months, and the remaining EUR 511 million (EUR 590 million) is accounted for as cash and cash equivalents. The Group has a committed EUR 500 million revolving credit facility, which is undrawn.

The Group's balance sheet remains strong. Net interest-bearing liabilities totaled EUR 173 million at the end of June (EUR 153 million at the end of 2015) and gearing was 12.8 percent (10.6%). The equity-to-asset ratio was 47.4 percent (48.3%).

There were no changes in our credit rating during the reporting period. Standard & Poor's Ratings Services confirmed the latest rating in March 2016: long-term corporate credit rating BBB and short-term A-2, outlook stable.

Capital expenditure and RTD

Gross capital expenditure in January-June, excluding business acquisitions, was EUR 15 million (EUR 23 million). Maintenance accounted for 91 percent, i.e. EUR 13 million (70% and EUR 16 million). Capital expenditure in 2016 is expected to decline compared to 2015 (EUR 45 million). Research and development expenses in January-June totaled EUR 17 million, i.e. 1.4 percent of net sales (EUR 17 million and 1.2%).

Minerals' orders received improved from the first quarter, but still came in 8 percent lower year-on-year, due to softer market activity than in the comparison period. Mining equipment orders increased 6 percent due to a large order for a copper mine in South America. Orders for mining services declined 15 percent due to the fact that mining companies have continued their cost-efficiency actions, which intensified already during the second half of 2015. This has impacted our engineered services, i.e. rebuilds and refurbishments, in particular. Mining services orders for the first half of 2016 were roughly at the same level as in the second half of 2015. In the aggregates industry, activity was unchanged during the quarter. Orders from aggregates customers declined overall 8 percent, resulting from a 9 percent decline in equipment and a 7 percent decline in services orders. This was largely due to low activity in Brazil, while the North American and European markets were more active.

Minerals' net sales improved 11 percent from the first quarter and totaled EUR 504 million (EUR 560 million), of which 67 percent was services. Mining sales decreased 14 percent and aggregates sales 7 percent. Mining equipment sales decreased 27 percent and lower sales of engineered services led mining services to a 10 percent decline year-onyear. Aggregates sales declined by 9 percent in new equipment and 3 percent in services. Minerals' January-June sales were down 15 percent and totaled EUR 957 million.

The segment's adjusted EBITA was EUR 54 million, which is 10.8 percent of net sales (EUR 60 million and 10.8%). Adjusted EBITA in January-June was EUR 91 million or 9.5 percent of net sales (EUR 116 million and 10.3%). Profitability of the services business in the second quarter was at the same healthy level as in the comparison period, thanks to better sales mix and cost control. However, the stable profitability of the services business was not enough to compensate for the decline in mining equipment net sales. Operating profit was EUR 50 million, or 9.9 percent of net sales, in the second quarter (EUR 58 million and 10.4%) and EUR 85 million, or 8.8 percent of net sales, in January-June (EUR 112 million and 10.0%).

The order backlog in Minerals at the end of June was EUR 1,113 million, which is 11 percent higher than at the end of 2015. We expect 65 percent of the order backlog to be delivered in 2016.

*Comparison numbers including PAS are presented in the tables section

Flow Control's orders received totaled EUR 168 million in April-June, which is 7 percent less than in the same period last year. Services orders were flat and accounted for 64 percent of the total orders. In January-June, orders received were 6 percent lower year-on-year following a weaker demand for valves in the North American oil & gas sector where orders declined 32 percent during the period. Oil & gas valve orders from other markets increased 20 percent, driven by significant growth in China and Asia-Pacific.

Net sales in April-June decreased 14 percent following lower project and day-to-day valve deliveries for oil & gas customers. Valve sales to the pulp & paper industry grew 3 percent and valve control deliveries increased 7 percent. In January-June, net sales were 13 percent lower than in the comparison period and totaled EUR 315 million. Services sales decreased by 8 percent to EUR 185 million.

Flow Control's adjusted EBITA for April-June declined 39 percent year-on-year to EUR 22 million or 13.2 percent of net sales (EUR 36 million and 18.6%). Adjusted EBITA in January-June was EUR 41 million or 13.0 percent of net sales (EUR 65 million and 17.8%). The decline was due to lower net sales. Operating profit was EUR 21 million and 12.8% of net sales (EUR 36 million and 18.6%) in the second quarter and EUR 40 million or 12.6 percent of net sales in January-June (EUR 64 million and 17.4%).

Flow Control's order backlog at the end of June was EUR 286 million, which is 9 percent higher than at the end of 2015. We expect 98 percent of the order backlog to be delivered in 2016.

Events after the review period

On July 12, 2016, Metso completed the divestment of its head office building in Helsinki, Finland, for a value of EUR 19.6 million. Following the divestment, Metso expects to book a EUR 10 million capital gain before taxes during the third quarter of 2016. Metso's head office will move to a new location in Helsinki in December 2016.

Changes in Metso's Executive Team

On June 9, 2016, Metso announced the following changes in its Executive Team.

Jani Puroranta, who will start as Chief Digital Officer on August 1, and Urs Pennanen, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Customer Operations, will both become members of the Executive Team.

Olli-Pekka Oksanen was appointed Senior Vice President, Strategy and Business Development and a member of the Metso Executive Team. Olli-Pekka Oksanen is currently Vice President, Strategy and Business Development, Flow Control business area. Simo Sääskilahti, currently Senior Vice President, Strategy and Business Development, will start as the head of Valve Technologies in the Flow Control business area, as part of Metso's normal job rotation. As announced earlier, Eeva Sipilä will join Metso as Chief Financial Officer on August 1. Harri Nikunen, currently holding this position, was appointed Senior Vice President, Mergers and Acquisitions and special projects.

As of August 1, 2016, the Metso Executive Team will consist of: Matti Kähkönen, President and CEO (Chairman of the Executive Team) Eeva Sipilä, CFO João Ney Colagrossi, President, Minerals Perttu Louhiluoto, President, Services John Quinlivan, President, Flow Control Merja Kamppari, Senior Vice President, Human Resources Olli-Pekka Oksanen, Senior Vice President, Strategy and Business Development Urs Pennanen, Senior Vice President, Customer and Marketing Operations Jani Puroranta, Chief Digital Officer

Short-term business risks and market uncertainties

Uncertainties surrounding economic growth globally might affect our customer industries and weaken the demand for Metso's products and services. A significant slowdown in global growth might further reduce market size and lead to tougher price competition. Our backlog, projects under negotiation and other business operations might also be adversely affected by political turbulence seen in many regions.

Exchange rate fluctuations might adversely affect our order intake, sales and financial performance although the wide geographical scope of our operations limits the exposure to single currencies. Metso hedges currency exposure linked to firm delivery and purchase agreements. Sufficient funding and financing is crucial at all times in order to ensure the continuity of our own operations. Our current cash assets and funding are considered sufficient to secure liquidity and flexibility in the short and long run.

A prolonged uncertainty in the Chinese economy might affect our business negatively through declining foreign investments made in the country and falling commodity prices. Low commodity prices reduce the investment appetite and cut spending among our customers. This may cause projects to be postponed, delayed or discontinued. A tougher pricing environment also makes it harder to integrate increasing labor and manufacturing costs into our prices.

Under the present market conditions, there is an increased risk of lawsuits, claims and disputes to be taken against Metso in various countries related, among other things, to Metso's products, projects and other operations.

Outlook for 2016 (changes in brackets)

Metso's overall trading conditions in 2016 will be somewhat weaker compared to 2015. Demand for our products and services is expected to develop as follows:

From our end of June 2016 backlog, we expect to invoice EUR 1.0 billion during 2016. Internal efficiency actions will continue to improve competitiveness and mitigate the price pressure that can be seen in the markets that are facing weak or satisfactory demand. Restructuring costs are expected to be higher than in 2015 (on the same level as in 2015). Capital expenditure without acquisitions is expected to be lower than in 2015. Net financial costs are expected to be on the same level as in 2015.

Acquisitions and disposals of businesses

Metso made no business acquisitions during 2016 or 2015.

On April 13, 2015, Metso completed the sale of its Tampere foundry in Finland to a Finnish company TEVO Oy. The divestment was treated as sale of fixed assets and it had no significant effect on Metso's result.

On April 1, 2015 Metso closed the disposal of Process Automation Systems (PAS) business. The PAS business included process automation solutions for the pulp, paper and power industries, covering automation and quality control systems, analyzers and measurements and related services and was reported in Metso's Flow Control segment.

The final cash consideration was EUR 312 million. The net assets of the entity disposed were EUR 55 million, direct transaction costs were EUR 6 million and related cumulative translation adjustments were EUR 1 million positive, whereby Metso booked a gain of EUR 252 million on the transaction.

Fair value estimation

For those financial assets and liabilities which have been recognized at fair value in the balance sheet, the following measurement hierarchy and valuation methods have been applied:

  • Level 1 Quoted unadjusted prices at the balance sheet date in active markets. The market prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, market information service system, pricing service or regulatory agency. The quoted market price used for financial assets is the current bid price. Level 1 financial instruments include debt and equity investments classified as financial instruments available-for-sale or at fair value through profit and loss.
  • Level 2 The fair value of financial instruments in Level 2 is determined using valuation techniques. These techniques utilize observable market data readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, market information service system, pricing service or regulatory agency. Level 2 financial instruments include:
  • Over-the-counter derivatives classified as financial assets/liabilities at fair value through profit and loss or qualified for hedge accounting.
  • Debt securities classified as financial instruments available-for-sale or at fair value through profit and loss.
  • Fixed rate debt under fair value hedge accounting.
  • Level 3 A financial instrument is categorized into Level 3 if the calculation of the fair value cannot be based on observable market data. Metso had no such instruments.

The table below present Metso's financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. There has been no transfers between fair value levels during 2015 or 2016.
