Cargotec's CEO Mika Vehviläinen:
Hiab's strong development continued during the third quarter and profitability
improved compared to the previous year. Hiab's core business orders were at a
good level, but we did not receive any big defence industry orders as we did
during the comparison period.
Kalmar's result was also satisfactory; however, the pace of customer decision
making has slowed down, which could be seen in declining order numbers. Kalmar's
long-term market potential is still strong: bigger ship sizes and the need to
develop ports and make operations more effective require investments in port
technology and automation. The number of potential projects is still large, but
customers are delaying their investment decisions.
The challenging market situation continued in MacGregor. The global merchant
ship market is facing overcapacity and new ship orders are at an exceptionally
low level. Industry consolidation, alliances and possible new ship routes create
uncertainty in the industry. We are continuing with our measures to lower the
MacGregor cost level.
Our strategic focus areas are services, digitalisation and leadership
development. In services we see tremendous business potential that we need to
grasp with increased determination. We have increased our efforts in this area;
for example, Hiab opened a spare parts web shop in September, MacGregor
strengthened its spare parts delivery cooperation relationships in Asia, and
Kalmar has initiated new measures to speed up the growth in services. In terms
of digitalisation, we are developing Cargotec IoT Cloud-based solutions with our
customers regarding, for example, automation effectiveness and proactive
maintenance. Our internal leadership development programme is expanding to the
next phase now that the first 200 leaders have completed the intensive training
programme.
We are focusing our efforts on projects that improve competitiveness, the cost
efficiency of products and digitalisation. Additionally, we are investing in
global systems and procedures that in future enable higher efficiency in
operational activities as well as in support functions.
Alternative performance measures (APMs) used in Cargotec's financial reporting
New ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) guidelines on
Alternative Performance Measures (Alternative performance measure (APM) =
financial measure other than financial measure defined or specified in IFRS) are
effective as of 3 July 2016. The new guidelines have had no impact on
performance measures used by Cargotec, but in accordance with the guidelines,
Cargotec publishes the explanation of use, definitions as well as
reconciliations of its APMs to IFRS financial statements.
APMs are used at Cargotec to better convey the underlying business performance
and to enhance comparability from period to period. APMs are not substituting
the performance measures stipulated by IFRS, but are instead reported as
complementary information.
The alternative performance measures used by Cargotec are:
* Operating profit excluding restructuring costs= Operating profit +
restructuring costs
* Operating profit excluding restructuring costs, % of sales = (Operating
profit + restructuring costs) / Sales * 100
* Interest-bearing net-debt = Interest-bearing debt - interest-bearing assets
+/- Foreign-currency hedge of corporate bonds
Restructuring costs include restructuring provisions, asset impairments and
disposals, expenses for vacant premises and other restructuring-related expenses
in case of a significant restructuring programme of Cargotec or its business
area. In the interim report, the reconciliation of operating profit excluding
restructuring costs to operating profit of the statement of income is presented
in note 3. Reconciliation of interest-bearing net debt to interest-bearing
liabilities and assets is presented in note 6.
