INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-MARCH 2019

Positive signs in greenfield investments and good growth in Services

"The overall market sentiment developed positively in the first quarter. In addition to brownfield investments, we are seeing signs of increased greenfield investments in both minerals processing and metal refining technologies. Order intake was at the same good level as in the first quarter last year. I am pleased with the 22% growth in service orders and the 19% increase in equipment orders for Minerals Processing.

Sales decreased during the quarter primarily due to fewer plant and equipment deliveries, while service sales increased by 11%. Profitability clearly improved both in absolute and relative terms due to better gross margins. Cash flow was lower this quarter compared to the comparison period due to the timing of advance and milestone payments, as well as temporarily higher inventories.

I am pleased with the progress in our must-win battles that further improve our performance. These programs focus on strengthening customer focus, service business, product competitiveness, project competencies and people development.

In the reporting period, we were ranked as the 12th most sustainable company in the world in the Global 100 index for the 7th consecutive year. Our biggest contribution to the industry comes from our technologies that can significantly reduce CO2 emissions. Our R&D efforts continue to focus on developing technologies that enable customers to increase their profitability in a sustainable manner.

Negotiations concerning the ilmenite smelter project are ongoing in cooperation with the customer. We remain confident that we are provided adequately for the project.

After the end of the quarter, Outotec received a EUR 140 million greenfield mineral concentrator and gold processing plant order from Ma'aden in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We have a proven track record of delivering mineral processing and metals refining plants for gold applications and a long history with Ma'aden with whom we have successfully completed several projects.

We continue to be positive about the current market outlook and reiterate our 2019 guidance for sales and adjusted EBIT," concludes President & CEO Markku Teräsvasara.

INTERIM REPORT JANUARY – MARCH 2019

Q1 MARKET DEVELOPMENT

The market sentiment was positive. In addition to brownfield investments, there were signs of increased activity in greenfield investments, in both minerals processing and metal refining technologies.

Copper and gold projects were the most active. The demand for minerals processing equipment and services continued to be solid. In the Metals, Energy & Water sector, there was also some demand in hydrometallurgical and pelletizing solutions, as well in sulfuric acid plants. Plant service inquiries increased from the comparison period.

Project financing continued to be challenging, particularly for smaller mining companies. The competitive environment continued to be intense.

SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Major investments continue to develop slowly, and new investments may either be delayed or existing projects placed on hold or canceled. There is also the continued risk of credit loss, especially in receivables from emerging markets. The supply situation may tighten, which may cause delays or escalations. Any uncertainty in the global macroeconomic environment, especially China's economic outlook, may impact the demand for metals and their prices, as well as Outotec's operations and financials.

Outotec has identified a risk of disputes related to project execution, which may result in extra costs and/or penalties. In the contracts related to the delivery of major projects, the liquidated damages attributable to, for instance, delayed delivery or non-performance may be significant. In particular, Outotec has identified a significant risk of claims related to a few large projects in the Metals, Energy & Water segment. This in turn could lead to decreasing headroom under the financial covenants related to capital structure and liquidity.

Outotec has made a EUR 110 million provision for possible costs relating to the ilmenite smelter project in Saudi Arabia (Stock Exchange Releases on May 31, 2012; October 26, 2018; October 30, 2018 and February 8, 2019). The current estimated provision was based on progress made with the analysis of the furnace. The provision was booked in Outotec's fourth quarter 2018 result. The outcome of the analysis, together with other factors such as Outotec's contractual position, will determine the eventual liability and financial impact of this incident for Outotec.

Risks related to Outotec's business operations are high in certain markets, such as the Middle East, Russia, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Turkey. The geopolitical situation, including risk of trade wars, Brexit, sanctions, security situation, economic conditions, and regulatory environment may change rapidly, causing ongoing business to be delayed, suspended or canceled; or may completely prevent Outotec from operating in these areas. This may result in a material impact on Outotec's financial results and valuation of its assets.

Outotec is involved in a few disputes that may lead to arbitration and court proceedings. Differing interpretations of international contracts and laws may cause uncertainty in estimating the outcome of these disputes. The enforceability of contracts in certain market areas may be challenging or difficult to foresee.

More information about Outotec's business risks and risk management is available in the Notes to the Financial Statements and on the company's website at www.outotec.com/investors.

MARKET OUTLOOK

The market outlook for mining and metals is expected to remain positive. Global GDP growth and new uses for metals, such as electric vehicles, drive the long-term demand for metals. Outotec's efficient technologies enable extractions of metals also from challenging raw materials as well as from tailings. A continuous tightening of environmental regulations imposes stricter limits for water and energy use as well as for new permissions. In addition to brownfield investments, there are signs of increased activity in greenfield investments, both in minerals processing and metal refining technologies.

Copper, gold, and battery metal projects are expected to be the most active. Expectations for growth provides opportunities for minerals processing in process optimization, equipment modernizations, and services. Investments will continue to be driven by increased mining activity and production levels with an emphasis on the optimization of existing processes.

The Metals, Energy & Water segment has business opportunities in several sectors. Copper, gold and lithium projects are expected to be the most active in the short-term. There is also an increasing global need for waste-to-energy and sludge incineration solutions.

MAIN EVENTS AFTER THE END OF Q1

April 30: Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Ma'aden) awarded Outotec a EUR 140 million gold processing plant order.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE FOR 2019 REITERATED

Based on the current market outlook, we expect sales to increase, and adjusted EBIT* to increase significantly from the 2018 adjusted EBIT (EUR 63.8 million), excluding the provision for the ilmenite smelter project.

Outotec presents certain key figures (alternative performance measures) as additional information to the financial measures presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, financial position and cash flows prepared in accordance with IFRS. In Outotec's view, alternative performance measures provide meaningful supplemental information on its operational results, financial position and cash flows and are widely used by analysts, investors and other parties.

To improve the comparability between periods, Outotec presents adjusted EBIT, being EBIT adjusted by material items beyond the ordinary course of business. Gross profit and research and development expenses are presented as complementing measures to the measures included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income because, in Outotec's view, they increase the understanding of Outotec's results of operations. Net interest-bearing debt, gearing, equity-to-asset ratio, return on investment and return on equity are presented as complementing measures because, in Outotec's view, they are useful measures of Outotec's ability to obtain financing and service its debts. Net working capital and capital expenditure provide additional information concerning the cash flow needs of Outotec's operations.

In addition, Outotec presents net interest-bearing debt, gearing, equity-to-asset ratio and return on investment for 2019 excluding the impact of implementation of the IFRS 16 standard to improve the comparability between periods, as Outotec did not retrospectively restate the 2018 figures in the transition to the IFRS 16 standard on January 1, 2019.

Alternative performance measures should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute to the IFRS financial measures. All companies do not calculate alternative performance measures in a uniform way, and therefore Outotec's alternative performance measures may not be comparable with similarly named measures presented by other companies.

NOTES TO THE STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME AND FINANCIAL POSITION

These Interim Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. In these Interim Financial Statements, the same accounting policies and methods have been applied as in the latest Annual Financial Statements, except for the changes specified below. These Interim Financial Statements are unaudited.

The following new standards and interpretations have been adopted as of January 1, 2019:

IFRS 16 – Leases

Outotec has adopted the IFRS 16 standard as of January 1, 2019. As a result, right-of-use assets of EUR 70.7 million and a lease liability of EUR 70.7 million were recognized in the consolidated financial statements as of January 1, 2019. The standard change will slightly improve operating profit, and the impact on net profit is immaterial. Outotec transitioned to IFRS 16 in accordance with the modified retrospective approach. The prior year figures were not adjusted. Right-of-use assets were measured at the amount of the lease liability (adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease expenses).

Non-current lease liability 55.9

Background

The new standard aims to provide better transparency for a lessee's financial leverage and capital employed. IFRS 16 introduces a single, on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. The requirements for lessors remain mainly unchanged. IFRS 16 replaces the IAS 17 standard and related interpretations.

Transition to IFRS 16 and changes in accounting principles

Outotec conducted a Group-wide analysis of the Group's lease contracts. Outotec's lease portfolio consists primarily of offices, warehouses and company cars.

As part of the initial application of the IFRS 16, Outotec has decided not to apply the new guidance to leases whose contract term will end within twelve months of the date of initial application. These leases will be accounted for as short-term leases and the related lease payments will be recognized as an expense. In addition, Outotec has chosen to apply the relief option, which allows it to adjust the right of use asset by the amount of any provision for onerous leases recognized in the statement of financial position immediately prior to the date of initial application.

Outotec will apply the exemptions for short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value, and will not recognize the right-of-use asset and lease liability for these lease contracts. The lease expenses related to these types of contracts will be recognized on a straightline basis in the statement of comprehensive income. Outotec assesses on an annual basis whether possible lease contract extension or termination options are exercised. If these options are to be exercised, the lease term will be adjusted accordingly. Currently, Outotec does not have lease contracts with perpetual lease terms. In the event of a perpetual lease contract, Outotec will estimate the lease term for the contract to be used for the right-of-use asset and lease liability calculations.

In the statement of financial position, a right-of-use asset is recognized for lease contracts. The right-of-use asset is measured at the amount of lease liability and any prepayments or initial direct costs incurred. Lease liability is recognized at the present value of the remaining lease payments in the statement of financial position. Lease payments are discounted with the interest rate implicit in the lease contract or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, Outotec's incremental borrowing rates will be used. Outotec has decided to use the risk free currency-based rate as the base rate for the incremental borrowing rate. On top of the currency-based rate, Outotec's margin is added, based on the cost of Outotec's external debt. In addition, the lease term is taken into account in the incremental borrowing rate. Upon the initial application of IFRS 16, the lease liabilities were discounted at the incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. The weighted average discount rate was 3.4%.

Under IFRS 16 depreciation on right-of-use asset and interest expense on the discounted lease, liability is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in comparison to a lease expense recognized under IAS 17. In the consolidated statement of cash flows, net cash from operating activities will increase and net cash used in financing activities will decrease as the repayment of the principal portion of the lease liabilities is classified as cash flows from financing activities.

The Group's activities as a lessor are not material and hence the new standard did not have any significant impact on the financial statements.

IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over income tax treatments

Outotec has adopted the IFRIC 23 interpretation as of January 1, 2019. Outotec transitioned to IFRIC 23 in accordance with the modified retrospective approach. Based on the analysis of uncertain tax treatments in the light of IFRIC 23, Outotec recognised additional income tax liabilities totaling EUR 0.6 million affecting the opening balance of retained earnings. Before the restatement, income tax liabilities on January 1, 2019 totaled EUR 8.4 million, and after restatement of EUR 0.6 million, the income tax liabilities were EUR 9.1 million.

The new interpretation should be applied to the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatment under IAS 12. Based on IFRIC 23, an entity must consider whether it is probable that the relevant tax authority would accept each tax treatment used in its income tax filings, assuming full visibility of all relevant information. Each uncertain tax treatment is to be considered separately or together as a group, and the impact of uncertainty is to be measured using either the most likely

amount or the expected value method, depending on which approach better predicts resolution of the uncertainty.

Amendments to IAS 19

Outotec has adopted the amendments to IAS 19 (Employee benefits) as of January 1, 2019. The amendments did not have a material impact on the Group's financial statement. The amendments to IAS 19 clarify the accounting for defined benefit plan amendments, curtailments and settlements.

The following new standards and interpretations have been published, but they are not effective in 2019, nor has Outotec early-adopted them:

Amendments to IFRS 3 and IAS 1

The amendment to IFRS 3 (Business combinations) revises the definition of a business. The amendments to IAS 1 (Presentation of financial statements) and consequential amendments to other IFRS standards clarify the definition of materiality. These amendments are effective for periods after January 1, 2020, but have not yet been endorsed by the EU and are not expected to have a material impact on the Group's financial statements.

Accounting estimates and judgements

IFRS requires management to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts. The most significant accounting estimates and judgements made by the management relate to customer contracts, impairment of goodwill, valuation of inventories and trade receivables, provisions, pension obligations and deferred tax assets and liabilities. Although these estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current events and actions, the actual results may differ from the estimates used in the financial statements.

Note 7. Changes in significant provisions

On December 31, 2018, Outotec recorded a provision of EUR 110 million for possible costs relating to the ilmenite smelter project in Saudi Arabia. The provision was estimated based on progress made with the analysis of the furnace. The outcome of the analysis, together with other factors such as Outotec's contractual position, will determine the eventual liability and financial impact of this incident for Outotec. There were no changes in the provision during the first quarter of 2019. EUR 50 million of the provision is recognized under non-current liabilities and EUR 60 million under current liabilities.

Note 8. Changes in credit facilities

Outotec's committed revolving credit facilities (EUR 100 million unsecured multicurrency facility and EUR 60 million unsecured facility) have their final maturity in January 2020 and therefore have become short-term credit facilities during the first quarter of 2019. Both credit facilities were fully unutilized as of March 31, 2019.

Note 9. Commitments and contingent liabilities

No securities or collateral have been pledged.

Commercial guarantees relating to project performance obligations and equipment deliveries totaled EUR 494.6 million on March 31, 2019 (March 31, 2018: EUR 459.9 million, December 31, 2018: EUR 490.7 million). These are issued by financial institutions or Outotec Oyj on behalf of Group companies.

The total value of the commercial guarantees above does not include advance payment guarantees issued by the parent or other Group companies, or guarantees for financial obligations. The total amount of guarantees for financing issued by Group companies amounted to EUR 5.5 million as of March 31, 2019 (March 31, 2018: EUR 5.0 million, December 31, 2018: EUR 4.4 million) and for commercial commitments including advance payment guarantees EUR 620.6 million as of March 31, 2019 (March 31, 2018: EUR 647.7 million, December 31, 2018: EUR 688.1 million). The high exposure of on-demand guarantees may increase the risk of claims that may have an impact on Outotec's liquidity.

Techniques used for the valuation of financial instruments included in the level 2-3 fair value hierarchy:

  • For interest rate swaps (level 2), the present value of the estimated future cash flows is based on observable yield curves.
  • For foreign currency forwards (level 2), the present value of future cash flows is based on the forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
  • For unlisted equity securities (level 3), the fair value is estimated based on market information for similar types of companies.

The Group's finance department, which reports to the chief financial officer (CFO), performs the valuations of non-property assets required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values. Changes in level 3 fair values are analyzed at the end of each reporting period. In the event of any changes, the team will present a report to the CFO explaining the reason for the fair value movements.
