BJÖRN ROSENGREN, PRESIDENT AND CEO:

“Despite the continuing uncertainty in the global economy and the tough market conditions, both our order intake and net sales developed well. In the third quarter they were up by 14% and 28% respectively. Ship Power’s year-on-year performance is strong, and has been supported by both an active offshore sector and the Hamworthy acquisition. Among the highlights are a major engine and propulsion equipment order for six Brazilian drillships from Jurong Shipyard Pte Ltd, and three platform supply vessel related orders from Statoil, as well as the first four ballast water management system orders. Wärtsilä again received a record power plant order, this time for an approximately 600 MW power plant to be constructed in Jordan. It will be the world’s largest tri-fuel power plant. I am also happy to note that the growth trend for Services continues, regardless of the difficult market environment that many of our marine service customers are experiencing.

We believe that net sales will grow this year by around 10-15%, which is more than originally estimated. Our profitability now stands at 10.3% and we believe it will improve in the fourth quarter. As a result, we expect profitability for the full year to be 10.5-11%.”

WÄRTSILÄ’S PROSPECTS FOR 2012 REVISED

Wärtsilä expects its net sales for 2012 to grow by 10-15% (previously 5-10%) and its operational profitability (EBIT% before non-recurring items) to be 10.5-11% (previously 10-11%).

MARKET DEVELOPMENT

POWER PLANTS

Markets continued to be active

Despite a decrease of 39% in the overall gas and liquid fuel based power generation markets in the first half of the year, power plant market activity was at a good level in the third quarter of 2012, and the level of quoted MWs was also good. The number of quotations increased slightly, but the average size was smaller. Quotation activity remains focused on natural gas based generation. Supported by their economic growth, the emerging markets continued to invest in new power generation capacity. However, the volatility in the macro economy continues to delay investment decisions in the power generation markets overall. Activity has been strongest in the flexible baseload segment.

Power Plants market share

During H1/2012 the global orders for natural gas and liquid fuel based power generation (including all prime mover units of over 5 MW) totalled 28.8GW, a decrease of 39%. Wärtsilä’s share represents 4.9% of the market (3.3% for the full year 2011).

SHIP POWER

Offshore and specialised vessels activity continues to stand out

During the third quarter of 2012, 229 contracts for new vessels were registered. Since the beginning of 2012, 761 vessels have thus far been contracted globally. This activity level is considerably lower than in 2011, when the average quarterly contracting volume was 353 vessels. The decrease in activity is a reflection of the continuing tough market conditions for the traditional merchant segments, i.e. bulkers, tankers and

3

WÄRTSILÄ CORPORATION - INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-SEPTEMBER 2012

container vessels. In these segments owners are experiencing severe pressure resulting from low earnings and high operating expenses, including high fuel costs, as well as difficulties in accessing financing.

Contracting activity has, however, been robust for the offshore and specialised vessel markets during 2012, with offshore accounting for a notable 30% of all contracting, as measured in the number of vessels. The gas carrier market (LNG carriers and LPG carriers) has also been active with respectively 21 and 43 contracts booked this year to date. There has also been good contracting activity in the ferry segment.

China and South Korea continued to be the dominant countries in shipbuilding, capturing respectively 36% and 35% of the contracts confirmed in 2012 in terms of gross tonnage. China closed the gap on South Korea as Chinese yards diversify their product mix and are moving into the offshore segment, in particular offshore support vessels. Non-traditional shipbuilding countries are emerging with 17% of the contracts confirmed. Brazil, Norway, the USA and Turkey stand out amongst the small shipbuilding nations that have been capturing newbuilding contracts during 2012.

Ship Power market shares

Wärtsilä’s share of the medium-speed main engine market was 48% (49% at the end of the previous quarter). The market share in low-speed engines decreased to 18% (22). In the auxiliary engine market, Wärtsilä’s share was 5% (5).

SERVICES

Stable development continued in the service markets

Development in the service market continued to be at a stable level for services to both marine and power customers. The market in the different marine segments was also stable with some further improvement in the merchant segment compared to the previous quarter. Activity in the different geographic regions was relatively flat with some improvements seen in the Middle East and Asia.

ORDER INTAKE

Wärtsilä’s order intake for the third quarter increased by 14% to EUR 1,275 million (1,118). In relation to the previous quarter, Wärtsilä’s order intake increased by 6% (EUR 1,198 million in the second quarter of 2012). The book-to-bill ratio for the third quarter was 1.17 (1.31).

The order intake for Power Plants in the third quarter totalled EUR 453 million (466), which was 3% lower than for the corresponding period last year. Compared to the previous quarter, the order intake increased by 60% (EUR 283 million in the second quarter of 2012). During the third quarter, Wärtsilä received its largest power plant order for a 573 MW project in Jordan. This plant is the largest tri-fuel plant in the world. Other orders were for small and mid size plants, mainly in the emerging markets. The ability to deliver a wide range of power plant sizes for many types of applications demonstrates the strengths of Wärtsilä’s Smart Power Generation concept.

The third quarter order intake for Ship Power totalled EUR 391 million (196), an increase of 99% over the corresponding period last year. Compared to the previous quarter, the order intake decreased by 13% (EUR 447 million in the second quarter of 2012). During the review period, offshore and specialised tonnage related orders continued to dominate. Among the various orders in these segments, Ship Power received a major engine and propulsion equipment order for six Brazilian drillships from Jurong Shipyard Pte Ltd, an order for three new Platform Supply Vessels for use by the Norwegian oil and gas company Statoil, and an order for dual-fuel engines for China’s first LNG powered tugs from CNOOC Energy Technology & Services Ltd. The recently acquired Hamworthy related ordering activity continued to be lively, especially for oil & gas and environmental solutions.

WÄRTSILÄ CORPORATION - INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-SEPTEMBER 2012

The Offshore segment represented 53% of the third quarter order intake, while the Merchant segment’s share was 21% and Special Vessels accounted for 18%. The Navy segment’s share of the order intake was 4% and the Cruise & Ferry segment’s 3%.

The order intake for Services in the third quarter totalled EUR 428 million (455), which was 6% lower than for the corresponding period last year.

The total order intake for the review period January-September 2012 was EUR 3,583 million (3,267), which represents an increase of 10% compared to the corresponding period in 2011. The book-to-bill ratio for the review period was 1.12 (1.10). Power Plants’ order intake was EUR 1,045 million (1,138), which is 8% lower than in 2011. Ship Power’s order intake was EUR 1,114 million (675), an increase of 65% from the corresponding period last year. Services’ order intake for the review period totalled EUR 1,418 million (1,450), a decrease of 2% over the corresponding period in 2011.

Order intake in joint ventures

Order intake in the Wärtsilä Hyundai Engine Company Ltd joint venture company in South Korea, and the Wärtsilä Qiyao Diesel Company Ltd joint venture company in China, producing auxiliary engines, totalled EUR 175 million (216) during the review period January-September 2012. Wärtsilä’s share of ownership in these companies is 50%, and the results are reported as a share of the result of associates and joint ventures.

STRATEGIC PROJECTS, ACQUISITIONS, JOINT VENTURES AND EXPANSION OF THE NETWORK

The joint venture between Wärtsilä and Jiangsu CuiXing Marine Offshore Engineering Co. Ltd. for the manufacture of Wärtsilä 26 and Wärtsilä 32 medium-speed marine engines in China has been discontinued. Wärtsilä’s strategic target has not changed and preparations are ongoing to begin manufacturing engines for the Chinese markets in China. Wärtsilä Qiyao Diesel Company, a joint venture company manufacturing Wärtsilä 20 auxiliary engines, is planning to expand its production capacity.

Wärtsilä TMH Diesel Engine Company LLC, a joint venture owned 50/50 by Wärtsilä and Transmashholding, has begun construction of a modern factory located in Penza, Russia. The new plant is expected to be ready to start production in summer 2013, and will provide world-class assembly and manufacturing facilities. The joint venture is strategically important for Wärtsilä since it broadens the company's business activities into the rail market, while giving Wärtsilä a stronger industrial foothold in Russia.

The acquisition of Hamworthy was finalised on 31 January 2012, and the integration of Hamworthy into Wärtsilä’s Ship Power business is moving according to plan. Hamworthy has been divided into two business units; Flow & Gas solutions and Environmental solutions.

WÄRTSILÄ CORPORATION - INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-SEPTEMBER 2012

PERSONNEL

Wärtsilä had 18,961 (17,875) employees at the end of September 2012. On average, the number of personnel for January-September 2012 totalled 18,809 (17,838). Power Plants employed 921 (830) people. Ship Power employed 2,112 (989) people, Services 11,239 (11,200), and PowerTech 3,840 (4,062) people. The increase in Ship Power’s number of employees relates mainly to the acquisition of Hamworthy.

Of Wärtsilä’s total number of employees, 19% (19) were located in Finland and 36% (36) elsewhere in Europe. Personnel employed in Asia represented 33% (33) of the total.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PRODUCT LAUNCHES

Progress with regard to ballast water management systems continues. All testing of the AQUARIUS UV (ultraviolet) system has been completed, and type approval is anticipated by December 2012. The first orders for the ultraviolet based systems have been received conditional upon receipt of type approval. IMO Basic Approval was granted to the AQUARIUS EC (electro-chlorination) based system on 1 October 2012. The remaining sea trial tests will be completed by December 2012 and the type approval is expected in July 2013. The Aquarius name is now a registered trademark. Testing of Trojan’s MARINEX ultraviolet system continues. Both land and sea based trials have yet to be completed, but type approval is anticipated by the end of December 2012.

Wärtsilä today has the widest portfolio of scrubbing systems, and the most extensive reference list on the market. The portfolio consists of open-loop exhaust gas scrubbers which are well established. Closed-loop scrubbing technology has recently been introduced to the market. After initial parameter tuning, the closed loop exhaust gas scrubber is now in operation and Wärtsilä has several projects currently under delivery. A combination of these two systems, the hybrid system, is just being introduced and the first pilot orders have been received. Wärtsilä has to date a total of 45 exhaust gas cleaning scrubbers delivered or on order, for a total of 23 vessels.

On 20 August 2012 Wärtsilä Finland Oy began the consultation process regarding the reorganisation of the Fuel Cell function in Espoo. These negotiations came as a result of Wärtsilä’s renewed product development strategy, where the development of fuel cells is not seen as a contributing activity to company operations in a mid-term perspective. In spring 2012, Wärtsilä, together with an external co-operation partner, also started to evaluate the possibilities for securing a continuation of the activities. The consultation process has now been finalised and there are a total of 24 people at risk of dismissal. The establishment of a new company is still in process, but if realised, it would employ 8 people.

CHANGES IN THE ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE

To further strengthen competitiveness and to serve customers more effectively, Wärtsilä has changed its organisational set up within Ship Power and Wärtsilä Industrial Operations. With this change, Wärtsilä aims to further increase the flexibility of its operations and ensure faster decision making; factors that are needed for meeting both customer demands and intensified competition. The new organisational set-up will also lead to a better utilisation of resources. No job reductions are planned as a result of the changes in the organisational structure. The new set up became effective as of 1 October 2012.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Wärtsilä is well positioned to reduce emissions and the use of natural resources, thanks to its various technologies and specialised services. Wärtsilä’s R&D efforts continue to focus on the development of advanced environmental technologies and solutions. The company is committed to supporting the UN Global Compact and its principles with respect to human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. Wärtsilä’s share is included in several sustainability indices.

RISKS AND BUSINESS UNCERTAINTIES

In the Power Plants business, uncertainty in the financial markets may impact the timing of bigger projects.

The business environment for the shipping and shipbuilding industry is challenging and concerns over the global economy continue to cause uncertainty. The traditional merchant segments are under particular pressure and risks related to cancellations and delayed deliveries in this area have elevated.

Increasing risks in the financial markets may have a negative impact on Services’ order intake. The challenging conditions in the marine merchant markets are also seen as a potential risk.

The annual report for 2011 contains a more specific description of Wärtsilä’s risks and risk management.

MARKET OUTLOOK

The power generation market is expected to remain active during the remainder of 2012. Ordering activity continues to be focused on emerging markets, which continue to invest in new power generation capacity. In the OECD countries, there is still pent-up power sector demand, mainly driven by CO2 neutral generation and the ramp down of older, mainly coal-based generation. Despite the continuing interest for new power generation investments, the macro economic uncertainty may delay investment decisions.

Robust contracting activity, in line with the activity levels seen during 2011 and so far in 2012, is expected for the offshore, gas carrier, and other specialised vessel markets. The outlook for overall vessel contracting activity during 2012 is slightly negative, with full year contracting expected to be less than during 2011. The decrease is largely driven by the low contracting levels in the traditional merchant segments. Interesting opportunities are being seen in the following areas: efficiency improvement, gas as a fuel, and environmental solutions. These are now central issues in many newbuilding discussions and are expected to grow in importance going forward.

The outlook for the overall service market is stable despite the continued uncertainty in the global economy. The outlook for service activities in the merchant segment remains challenging, while the outlook for offshore remains promising. Activity in the other marine markets is expected to be stable. Market conditions for power plants related services are expected to remain on a good level.

WÄRTSILÄ’S PROSPECTS FOR 2012 REVISED

Wärtsilä expects its net sales for 2012 to grow by 10-15% (previously 5-10%) and its operational profitability (EBIT% before non-recurring items) to be 10.5-11% (previously 10-11%).

WÄRTSILÄ INTERIM REPORT JANUARY – SEPTEMBER 2012

This interim financial report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting) using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as in the annual financial statements for 2011. All figures in the accounts have been rounded and consequently the sum of individual figures can deviate from the presented sum figure.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the valuation of the reported assets and liabilities and other information, such as contingent liabilities and the recognition of income and expenses in the statement of income. Although the estimates are based on the management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may differ from the estimates.

IFRS amendments

Of the amended International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations mandatory as of 1 January 2012 the following are applicable on the Group reporting:

  • Amendment to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments : Disclosures

The adaption of the revised standards and interpretations does not have any material effect on the interim report.

This interim report is unaudited.

ACQUISITIONS 2012

Hamworthy plc

On 31 January 2012 Wärtsilä acquired all the shares of and obtained control of Hamworthy plc, listed on the London Stock ExchangeAIM, through a recommended cash offer.

The total consideration of the transaction was EUR 456 million, 825 pence in cash for each Hamworthy share.

Hamworthy is a global provider of specialist equipment and services to the marine, oil & gas and industrial sectors. The acquisition of Hamworthy will enable Wärtsilä to strengthen its position as a total solutions provider, and to be the most valued partner for its customers with a complete range of products, integrated solutions, and services to the marine and offshore industries. The combination of Wärtsilä’s and Hamworthy’s strengths will speed up and ease the means for customers to reduce operating costs and achieve compliance with environmental legislation.

The following tables summarise the consideration paid for Hamworthy, the cash flow from the acquisition and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognised at the acquisition date.

The fair values at the date of acquisition are provisional as work continues to complete the initial accounting for the acquisition. The provisional fair values of acquired identifiable intangible assets (including technology, customer relationships and trademarks) amounted to approximately EUR 116 million.

The fair value of current trade receivables and other receivables is approximately EUR 81 million and includes trade receivables with a fair value of approximately EUR 49 million. The fair value of trade receivables does not include any significant risk.

17

WÄRTSILÄ CORPORATION - INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-SEPTEMBER 2012

The preliminary goodwill of EUR 301 million reflects the value of know-how and expertise in marine, oil & gas and industrial sectors. The combined resource and competence base creates an exciting platform for long term growth in the offshore, marine gas and environmental solutions markets to the benefit of shareholders, customers and employees alike. The goodwill recognised for Hamworthy is not tax deductible.

The Group incurred during 2012 acquisition-related costs of EUR 3 million related to external legal fees and due diligence costs. The costs have been included in the other operating expenses in the consolidated statement of income. The total acquisition-related costs are estimated to be approximately EUR 4 million.

In the eight months to 30 September 2012 Hamworthy contributed net sales of EUR 232 million and operating result of EUR 25 million to the Group’s results. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2012, management estimates that consolidated net sales would have been EUR 3,217 million, and consolidated operating result for the period would have been EUR 313 million. In determining these amounts, management has assumed that the fair value adjustments, determined provisionally, that arose on the date of acquisition would have been the same if the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2012.

Other acquisitions

On 1 April 2012 Wärtsilä acquired the business of MMI Boiler Management Pte Ltd., a Singapore based company specialising in the service and maintenance of boilers for marine and industrial applications. The purchase price is approximately EUR 3 million resulting in a goodwill of approximately EUR 1 million.
