22 Company presentation – November 2009
HYDROSolid market with excellent long-term outlook
Q1-Q3 2009
High project activity worldwide: modernization of existing plants in Europe and North America; new hydropower plants mainly in emerging markets.
Good development of order intake in all divisions, including the pumps and turbo generator businesses.
Sales and earnings increased compared to reference period of last year.
Current environment / Mid- & long-term drivers
Climate change – green electricity.
Replacement of existing aged installed base in Europe and North America.
Growing electricity demand in emerging markets.
Economic stimulus packages – renewal of infrastructure.
23 Company presentation – November 2009
PULP & PAPERDespite current downturn, unchanged strong long-term drivers
Q1-Q3 2009Low project activity in the capital business; service less affected.
Order intake substantially below last years’ reference level; order from China (Chenming, 160 MEUR) booked in Q3 2009.
Margins impacted by restructuring expenses and lower sales; price pressure in (large) capital business.
Restructuring underway.
Current environment / Mid- & long-term driversLong-term shift of production capacity from northern to southern hemisphere to continue – however, major projects currently delayed, but execution highlylikely due to pre-investments in land, plantations, etc.
Expansion of pulp capacities expected in China and Russia (medium-/long-term).
Continuing demand for biomass/recovery boilers due to increasingenvironmental regulations/incentives (e. g. USA, Canada).
Increasing project activity for recycled fiber lines in China.
24 Company presentation – November 2009
METALSBottom appears to have been reached
Q1-Q3 2009
Low project activity worldwide; however some signs of stabilization.
Order intake in Q3 2009, at 116.4 MEUR, was solid; orders mainly from emerging markets (China, Brazil).
Earnings and profitability in Q3 up despite decline in sales.
Current environment / Mid- & long-term drivers
Continuing low capacity utilization in the carbon and stainless steel industries; bottom appears to have been reached.
Weak cash flows at customers limit capex for next few quarters.
Single investments in special segments (automotive China).
25 Company presentation – November 2009
ENVIRONMENT & PROCESSStable municipial and biomass drying businesses
Q1-Q3 2009
Good project activity in municipal business (China, USA); lower demand in some industrial segments.

Sales in Q3 down; however, earnings and profitability slightly up.
Current environment / Mid- & long-term drivers
Municipal business: expected to continue at current level or higher.
Industrial business: depends on overall economy.
Growing environmental awareness and more stringent regulations to support demand for environmental equipment.
26 Company presentation – November 2009
FEED & BIOFUELFeed expected to recover, good pipeline for biomass projects
Q1-Q3 2009
Low project activity in animal feed with projects delayed due to funding restrictions; reasonable project activity for biomass/wood pelletizing equipment.
Order intake down compared to Q1-Q3 2008, weak development in Q32009.
Earnings and margins down due to higher costs for increased outsourcing.
Current environment / Mid- & long-term drivers
Large feed projects still somewhat delayed due to funding restrictions – however, expected to recover mid-term.
