CFO and acting CEO Jari Ålgars:
"Low metal prices, China's uncertain growth outlook and the profitability
challenges of the industry continue to put pressure on producers to cut
production and postpone investments. There was slight recovery from the
particularly weak first quarter especially in the Minerals Processing segment's
market. The Metals, Energy & Water segment's market was slow, translating into
lower order intake.
In the second quarter, our order intake declined 23% and sales declined 9% from
the comparison period in comparable currencies. We were able to reduce our fixed
costs and the adjusted EBIT was EUR 5 million. The net profit was EUR -3 million
due to restructuring costs. Outotec repaid EUR 30 million debt and the company's
liquidity and equity remained solid. Improving our free cash flow and ensuring a
solid balance sheet continue to be our key priorities.
We continued to invest in R&D with a focus on cost competitive solutions to
better meet our customers' demanding environment. We are currently delivering
the first demo cells of one of our achievements, the new modular cPlant
Flotation, which is enabling fast track to production.
The market outlook in the mining and metals industry remains weak, and therefore
the timing of projects is difficult to predict. Service demand is expected to be
weaker due to postponements in maintenance and modernization projects and
customers' focus on reducing their production costs. In the current environment,
it is increasingly difficult to finalize projects and collect overdue
receivables, and we have increased our efforts in both of these areas.
While we have made significant progress in right-sizing our fixed costs, we were
not able to fully compensate for the lower sales and the continued challenges of
the Metals, Energy & Water segment. Thus, we will continue our saving efforts."
