OUTOTEC OYJ STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE OCTOBER 17, 2013 at 9.35 AM
Outotec lowers its financial guidance for 2013 and publishes preliminary Q1-Q3
2013 financial information
Outotec lowers its financial guidance regarding sales and operating profit
margin for 2013. There are several factors contributing to the lower sales
guidance. The macroeconomic uncertainty has continued which has slowed down
customers' capex investments. Also some projects have progressed slower than
expected due to delays in customer payments. In addition, one project (EUR 30
million) in order backlog was cancelled in September. The lower sales volume is
the main reason for lowering the operating profit margin guidance for 2013.
New financial guidance:
Outotec expects its sales be approximately EUR 1.9-2.1 billion and operating
profit margin from business operations*) be approximately 8.5-9.5% in 2013.
*) Excluding one-time items and purchase price allocations (PPA) amortizations
Previous financial guidance:
Based on the strong order backlog, current market outlook and customer tendering
activity, the management expects that in 2013:
* Sales will be approximately EUR 2.1-2.3 billion, and
* Operating profit margin from business operations*) will be approximately
9.5-10.5%
*) Excluding one-time items and purchase price allocations (PPA) amortizations
