Reclassification of product management costs in Outotec's income statement
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
OUTOTEC OYJ STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE APRIL 8, 2015 at 9.45 AM
RECLASSIFICATION OF PRODUCT MANAGEMENT COSTS IN OUTOTEC'S INCOME STATEMENT
In Outotec's income statement all costs related to technical product management
have been included as of January 1, 2015, in Research and Development (R&D)
expenses, and all costs related to commercial product management have been
included in Selling and Marketing expenses. Previously some of the costs related
to product management activities were reported in the Cost of Sales above the
Gross Margin in the income statement.
Since 2011, Outotec has been developing and deploying uniform global business
processes and related information technology platforms. The company has now
established a more comprehensive technical product management process as part of
its R&D, and a commercial product management process as part of its selling and
marketing. The reclassification of product management costs is consistent with
the redefinition of the product management business processes and reflects the
true nature of these activities in the profit and loss statement.
When applying the reclassification to Outotec's 2014 income statement, EUR 19.6
million transfers from Cost of Sales to R&D expenses, and EUR 6.9 million to
Selling and Marketing expenses.
Reclassification does not impact Outotec's sales, EBITA, EBIT or 2015 financial
guidance.
