    Highlights of the second quarter of 2014

    • Good performance continued in unchanged market conditions
    • Services business developed positively
    • Orders received: EUR 947 million (EUR 968 million), of which EUR 534 million (EUR 522 million) were services orders
    • Net sales: EUR 962 million (EUR 988 million), of which EUR 507 million came from the services -business (EUR 507 million)
    • EBITA before non-recurring items: EUR 131 million or 13.6 percent of net sales (EUR 118 million, 11.9%). Non-recurring items totaled EUR 25 million (EUR 21 million)

    Financial guidance for 2014

    Our guidance for 2014 (published originally on February 6, 2014) remains unchanged. We estimate that our net sales in 2014 will be somewhat below 2013 and that our EBITA margin before non-recurring items for 2014 will be around 12 percent of net sales.

    This guidance is based on our current market outlook, order backlog for 2014, and cost efficiency actions, as well as foreign exchange rates remaining similar to those in June 2014.

    President and CEO Matti Kähkönen:

    "Market conditions have remained similar to those in the first quarter and we can be very satisfied with our second-quarter results, as we succeeded in improving our profitability substantially. Our both segments performed well and Automation also booked its highest-ever order intake. In addition, we have seen positive development in our services businesses. Demand for mining equipment was stable and we do not anticipate a rapid recovery here, although orders increased as expected compared to the first quarter. Our order intake in this area consisted of small and mid-sized orders, reflecting current market activity and current uncertainties.
