Financial guidance for 2011 reiterated.
President and CEO Pertti Korhonen:"The market continued to strengthen during the first quarter of 2011 across all
Outotec's business areas. The activity was especially strong in gold, base
metals and iron industries. Our personnel were highly engaged in making new
proposals and offers to customers, and in delivering solutions and services. I
am very pleased with the strong order intake in Q1, which included the turnkey
delivery of a new copper flash smelter and related services to RTB Bor in
Serbia, as well as the delivery of an effluent treatment plant for Codelco's new
Mina Ministro Hales project in Chile, marking an important milestone in taking
our industrial water treatment strategy forward. Both our sales and
profitability developed very strongly due to strong demand and order book across
solutions, process equipment and services. We can conclude that the new
operational model, which is aimed at supporting growth and scalability, is
beginning to pay off. We acquired the phosphorus recycling technology business
of ASH DEC Umwelt AG in Austria in order to strengthen our portfolio of
environmental technologies and to emphasize the growing importance of recycling
technologies in our mission of sustainable use of Earth's natural resources. All
in all, we are on the right track in terms of planned growth and the market
outlook is good."

INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-MARCH 2011
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
The overall market conditions continued to be strong in the first quarter of
2011. The mining and metals industry was supported by a positive long term
outlook for metals demand especially in the emerging economies. In general, the
production capacity utilization rates of the Outotec's customers remained on
good level supporting the investment activity and demand for services. Companies
continued to activate their investment projects, leading to continued strong
marketing and sales activity in the first quarter. Markets in South America,
Australia and India were strong, especially with regard to copper, gold and iron
projects. Additionally, the activity in aluminum as well as zinc and nickel
projects started to strengthen again. In some technology areas, the expert
resources have been tight due to the strong activity, but delivery times and
subcontractor network capacity remained on normal levels.
The mining and metals industry benefitted from strong metals prices. The
financing market continued to recover despite the turbulence in global markets.
However, the more complex structures in financing packages slowed the overall
decision making process particularly in terms of projects involving construction
of significant new capacity.
Interest in sustainable solutions is continuously increasing and the
requirements on the technology are becoming more restrictive. This trend is
positive for Outotec, as the company delivers advanced technology solutions
enabling the customers to minimize their processes' life time costs and
environmental impacts and to maximize the recovery of valuable materials.
ORDER INTAKE
Order intake in the first quarter of 2011 amounted to EUR 343.7 million
(Q1/2010: EUR 419.4 million) including plant deliveries, technology and
equipment deliveries as well as services. In the reporting period, orders from
EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa, including CIS) represented roughly one
half of the total order intake. The second half was split evenly between the
Americas and Asia Pacific. The 18% year-on-year reduction in the order intake is
due to exceptionally strong order intake of the comparison period due to timing
of two particularly large orders in the first quarter of 2010. However, the
value of unannounced small-to-mid-size orders grew both from the comparison
period (Q1/2010) and sequentially (Q4/2010).
Major new orders in the first quarter:
* copper flash smelting furnace and related services together with SNC-Lavalin
for RTB Bor, Serbia (EUR 60 million);
* new oil shale preparation plant for Eesti Energia, Estonia (EUR 20
million);
* effluent treatment plant for Codelco, Chile (EUR 18 million); and
* key process technologies and services for a copper/gold concentrator for
Sandfire Resources, Australia (EUR 15 million).
ORDER BACKLOG
The order backlog at the end of the reporting period totaled EUR 1,444.4
million, which is 25% higher than at the end of the comparison period (Q1/2010:
EUR 1,155.7 million).
At the end of the reporting period, Outotec's order backlog included 29 projects
with an order backlog value in excess of EUR 10 million, accounting for 67% of
the total backlog. Management estimates that roughly 60% (approximately EUR 840
million) of the current backlog value will be delivered in 2011 and the rest in
2012 and beyond. The order backlog at the end of the reporting period included
roughly EUR 40 million (March 31, 2010: EUR 70 million) in suspended projects.
SALES AND FINANCIAL RESULT
Sales in the reporting period totaled EUR 247.5 million (Q1/2010: EUR 187.0
million), a 32% increase from the comparison period. Currencies did not have
material effect on sales growth. The growth resulted from strong service and
equipment sales and good progress in project deliveries especially in the Non-
ferrous Solutions business area. In addition, the Ferrous Solutions business
area returned to growth track.
Sales in the Services business, which is included in the sales figures of the
three reporting segments totaled EUR 71.1 million in the reporting period
(Q1/2010: EUR 50.5 million), up 41% from the comparison period and accounting
for 29% of Outotec's sales (Q1/2010: 27%).
Operating profit from business operations for the reporting period was EUR 20.2
million (Q1/2010: EUR 3.3 million), representing 8.2% of sales (Q1/2010: 1.8%).
The increase resulted from a higher sales volume and better gross margin of
26.6% (Q1/2010: 24.4%). PPA amortizations for the reporting period were EUR 1.2
million.
Operating profit for the reporting period was EUR 19.0 million (Q1/2010: EUR
-10.1 million). The unrealized and realized exchange gains related to currency
forward contracts increased profitability by EUR 3.8 million (Q1/2010:
unrealized and realized gain of EUR 0.3 million).
Fixed costs for the reporting period were EUR 50.8 million (Q1/2010: EUR 45.6
million). The increase was primarily due to investments in building Outotec's
global operational platforms, personnel increases supporting the growth, fixed
costs of the acquired companies, business development projects and costs of the
share-based incentive program. Profit before taxes for the reporting period was
EUR 18.1 million (Q1/2010: EUR -10.3 million). It included net finance expense
of EUR 0.9 million (Q1/2010: net finance expense EUR 0.2 million). The net
finance expense increased primarily due to low interest rates and fees related
to the new financing credit facilities. Net profit for the reporting period was
EUR 12.6 million (Q1/2010: EUR -7.3 million). Taxes totaled EUR 5.5 million
(Q1/2010: EUR 3.0 million positive). Earnings per share were EUR 0.28 (Q1/2010:
EUR -0.16).
Outotec's return on equity for the reporting period was 14.7% (Q1/2010: -8.9%),
and return on investment was 20.4% (Q1/2010: -11.1%).

Non-ferrous Solutions
Sales in the Non-ferrous Solutions business area in the first quarter of 2011
increased 43% over the comparison period and totaled EUR 162.0 million (Q1/2010:
EUR 113.5 million). The increase in sales was due to growth of service business
sales, strong opening backlog, good progress in deliveries and a favorable
product mix during the quarter. Operating profit from business operations was
EUR 19.1 million (Q1/2010: EUR -3.2 million) and operating profit was EUR 18.1
million (Q1/2010: EUR -15.4 million). The unrealized and realized exchange gains
related to currency forward contracts increased profitability by EUR 3.9 million
(Q1/2010: unrealized and realized loss of EUR 0.6 million). The operating profit
increase was due to the higher sales, better gross margins and good project
execution.
Ferrous Solutions
Sales in the Ferrous Solutions business area in the reporting period totaled EUR
43.6 million (Q1/2010: EUR 20.0 million). The 118% increase in sales compared to
the first quarter in 2010 was due to execution of large orders received during
2010. The operating profit from business operations was EUR 3.2 million
(Q1/2010: EUR -2.2 million) and operating profit was EUR 3.2 million (Q1/2010:
EUR -2.5 million). The operating profit improvement came from higher sales.
Energy, Light Metals and Environmental Solutions
Sales in the Energy, Light Metals and Environmental Solutions business area in
the first quarter of 2011 totaled EUR 46.1 million (Q1/2010: EUR 54.6 million).
The decline in sales was mainly due to the timing of revenue recognition of long
term projects. Operating profit from business operations was EUR 3.5 million
(Q1/2010: EUR 10.3 million) and operating profit was EUR 3.3 million (Q1/2010:
EUR 10.0 million). The comparison period's operating profit was improved by the
release of project provisions related to successful project completions. The
unrealized and realized exchange gains related to currency forward contracts
increased profitability by EUR 0.1 million (Q1/2010: unrealized and realized
gain of EUR 0.6 million).
BALANCE SHEET, FINANCING AND CASH FLOW
The consolidated balance sheet total was EUR 1,140.2 million at the end of the

The net cash flow from operating activities in the reporting period was EUR
59.8 million (Q1/2010: EUR 7.5 million). The net cash flow from operating
activities increased because of advance payments. Gearing improved further from

Outotec's working capital amounted to EUR -153.0 million at the end of the
reporting period (March 31, 2010: EUR -79.0 million). During the reporting
period, working capital developed positively due to advance payments related to
projects under execution and new orders received.
At the end of the first quarter of 2011, Outotec's cash and cash equivalents
totaled EUR 318.2 million (March 31, 2010: EUR 232.1 million). The company

68 new national patens were granted (Q1/2010: 31).
In February, Outotec acquired the technologies, trademarks and patents of ASH
DEC Umwelt AG. This Austrian based company has developed a process to extract
recycled phosphorus fertilizer from ash which is also a by-product of
incinerated biomass/sludge. The ASH DEC process complements Outotec's existing
biomass incineration solutions based on fluidized bed technology. The
acquisition price was not disclosed.

personnel, approximately 349 (March 2010: 230) full-time equivalent, contracted
professionals working in project execution. The number of contracted workers at
any given time changes with the active project mix and project commissioning,
local legislation and regulations as well as seasonal fluctuations.
In the reporting period, salaries and other employee benefits totaled EUR 62.6
million (Q1/2010: EUR 50.6 million). The increase from the comparison period was
due to wage inflation, bonuses and incentive programs, acquisitions, and
personnel increases.
SHARE-BASED INCENTIVE PROGRAMS AND EXECUTIVE BOARD SHARE OWNERSHIP PLAN
Share-based Incentive Program 2010-2012
Outotec's Board of Directors decided on April 23, 2010 to adopt a share-based
Incentive Program for the company's key personnel. The Program comprises three
earning periods: calendar years 2010, 2011 and 2012. The Board of Directors
determines the amount of the maximum reward for each individual, the earning
criteria and the targets established for them separately on an annual basis. The
maximum value of the rewards for the entire program equals approximately
1,000,000 shares, including a cash payment which equals income taxes.
Earning period 2010
The reward paid to 68 individuals was determined by reaching of the targets set
by the Board of Directors for cost savings, order intake and earnings per share.
The reward is paid in shares and as a cash payment, with the shares (138,554 no
of shares) allocated to the key personnel in the spring of 2011. The reward to
the President and CEO Pertti Korhonen is paid in Outotec shares (9,824 no of
shares) and amount of cash which equals income taxes. The person must hold the
earned shares for at least two years after the end of the earning period.
The former President and CEO Tapani Järvinen participated, according to his CEO
agreement, also in the Incentive Program 2010-2012 earning period 2010. The
reward is paid in Outotec shares (9,824 no of shares) and amount of cash which
equals income taxes.
Earning period 2011
The Board of Directors approved (March 1, 2011) 94 individuals for the Program's
2011 earning period and set targets for order intake, earning per share and
sales growth. The maximum total reward (including a cash payment which equals
income taxes) for the 2011 earning period equals 435,625 Outotec shares.
Executive Board share ownership plan
In 2010 Outotec's board of directors determined a new share ownership plan
directed to the members of the Outotec executive board. As part of the plan, the
members of the executive board established Outotec Management Oy company, whose
entire share capital is owned by them. The purpose of the plan is to commit
executive board members to Outotec by encouraging them to acquire and hold
Outotec shares and thus increase the company's shareholder value in the long
run. They invest a considerable amount of their own funds in company shares and
partly through a loan provided by Outotec. The company's board of directors
granted to Outotec Management Oy an interest-bearing loan at the maximum amount
of EUR 4,980,000 to finance the acquisition of the Outotec shares. The members
of the executive board members hold approximately 0.34% of Outotec shares
through the company.
Outotec has consolidated Outotec Management Oy into the Group's balance sheet.
At the end of the reporting period, Outotec Management Oy held 191,211 (April
29, 2011: 191,211) Outotec shares which have been accounted as treasury shares
in Outotec's balance sheet.

SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Risks related to the global operating environment
Outotec's global business operations are subject to various political, economic
and social conditions. Operations in global markets may present risks related to
economic and political instability. Conditions may rapidly change and create
delays and changes in order placement and execution.
Risks related to Outotec's business
As part of the overall project delivery Outotec gives performance guarantees and
is liable for the warranty period defects. In the project risk assessment during
the reporting period, all unfinished projects were evaluated and provisions for
performance guarantees and warranty period guarantees were updated. There were
no material changes in the Group's project risk provisions.
The global economic uncertainty may reduce the demand for Outotec's products and
services. Volatility in sales may affect the operating profit margin as the
adjustments in fixed costs may become effective with a delay. Outotec's gross
margin is also impacted by project mix. Particularly orders which include
license fees may have a major impact on the gross margin. Also changes in labor
costs especially when operating in high inflationary countries, changes in
prices of raw materials and purchased services as well as the availability of
components can affect Outotec's profitability.
As a result of the international project business, different interpretations of
international and local tax rules and regulations may cause additional direct or
indirect taxes for Outotec, which would reduce the company's net result.
Acquisitions are an integral part of Outotec's growth strategy. There is a risk
that the estimated synergy benefits will not materialize as planned.
Outotec is involved in a few arbitral and court proceedings. Management expects
that these cases and their outcomes will have no material effect on Outotec's
financial result.
Financial risks
There is a risk that customers and suppliers may experience financial
difficulties and a lack of financing may result in project and payment delays as
well as bankruptcies, which can also result in losses for Outotec. These risks
are reduced by advance and milestone payments and letters of credit. In the
reporting period, there were no material credit losses related to payments by
Outotec's counter-parties and at the end of the reporting period all receivables
were reviewed and credit loss provisions were updated.
Outotec's business model is based primarily on customer advance payments and on-
demand guarantees issued by Outotec's relationship banks. Changes in advance
payments received due to e.g. change in business volume have an impact on the
liquidity of Outotec. Exposure to on-demand guarantees has remained high. Cash
held by Outotec is primarily invested in short-term bank deposits and in Finnish
corporate short-term certificates of deposit. The lower interest rate levels
reduce the interest income generated from these investments.
More than half of Outotec's total cash flow is denominated in euros. The rest is
divided among various currencies, including the US dollar, Australian dollar,
Brazilian real, Canadian dollar, and South African rand. The weight of any given
currency in new projects can fluctuate substantially, but most cash-flow-related
risks are hedged in the short and long term. In the short-term, currency
fluctuations may create volatility in the operating profit. The forecasted and
probable cash flows are selectively hedged and are always on the basis of
separate decisions and risk analysis. Natural hedging is used as widely as
possible and the remaining open foreign exchange exposures related to committed
cash flows are fully hedged using forward agreements. The cost of hedging is
taken into account in project pricing.
MARKET OUTLOOK
The market activity is expected to continue strong. Several mining and metals
companies have announced increased investments in 2011 compared to 2010, as they
are reactivating many projects that were put on hold. Although project financing
is again available, decision lead times, especially in large investments, are
long. Despite of the capacity increases implemented over the last few years,
metals production is not sufficient to satisfy the continuously growing demand.
Companies in the mining and metals industries will need to increase their
production and make it more efficient. Tightening efficiency and environmental
requirements and the decreasing metal content of ore bodies continue to attract
investments in plant modernization, optimization and increased automation.
Rising energy prices are driving the industry to improve processes in order to
achieve lower unit costs. Labor costs are increasing in the key markets and the
changes in prices of raw materials, components and purchased services are
causing pricing pressures.
Non-ferrous Solutions
The activity in the non-ferrous technology market is expected to strengthen
further. Primarily gold and copper projects are being developed, but also zinc
and nickel projects are coming to the market. Investments in new mines and
concentrators are progressing faster than investments in the downstream metals
refining technologies. Competition continues to be tight in new projects.
However, long term fundamentals are strong as ore grades decline; thus, more
processing capacity and advanced technology solutions will be needed, in both
concentrators and metals refining. At the same time, environmental regulations
tighten and the cost of energy and water is climbing; increasing the need for
new and modern technological solutions.
Ferrous Solutions
The demand for raw materials used in steel making, iron ore and coking coal is
expected to continue high. The demand for stainless steel raw materials shows
strong growth and the activity in ferroalloy projects is continuously
strengthening. Brazil, India and South Africa continue to rapidly develop their
infrastructure and to utilize their large natural resource base. There are
several iron ore processing plant expansions and new investments under
development particularly in Brazil and India, catering mainly for the Chinese
market where concentrates and pellets are in continuous demand. In addition, the
depletion of lump ore deposits is driving sinter and pellet plant investments in
India. Outotec's sustainable solutions - both in iron ore as well as ferroalloys
sintering and pelletizing technologies - continue to be in strong demand because
of their energy efficiency, capacity and environmental aspects. In the future,
unconventional techniques, such as the direct reduction of iron ore, offer more
and more opportunities to use lower grade raw material resources as well as
optimized energy production and the reduction of CO2 emissions.
Energy, Light Metals and Environmental Solutions
Rising oil prices and the depletion of oil reserves increase the demand for
alternative energy sources, such as oil shale, oil sands, and biomass. The
world's recoverable oil shale and oil sand resources are at least ten times
greater than those of conventional oil reserves, with large deposits found in
the US, Canada, Brazil, China, Jordan, Russia and Estonia. Outotec and Eesti
Energia have jointly developed a new technology solution, Enefit, utilizing
Outotec's circulating fluidized bed technology. This technology will be used in
Eesti Energia's oil shale plant currently under construction in Narva, Estonia.
The Enefit technology can be applied globally for processing oil shales as well
as oil sands in the future.
The demand for aluminum is growing. Consequently, aluminum and thus bauxite and
alumina projects are being revitalized. The Middle East is leveraging its
advantageous energy position by building new smelters and refining capacity.
The business area's environmental solutions include sulfuric acid plants as well
as applications for gas cleaning and heat recovery systems. The outlook for the
sulfuric acid market remains positive as sulfuric acid is needed in
hydrometallurgical processes and is produced as a by-product in the
pyrometallurgical processes including the minimization of environments impacts
of the process. The sulfuric acid market is also driven by continuous need from
the fertilizer industry. In addition to sulfuric acid plants, any metallurgical
processes require off-gas cleaning and effluent and water treatment technologies
to limit environmental impacts.
New opportunities in environmental technologies, such as materials recycling and
waste management as well as industrial waste water treatment are continuously
increasing. The technologies acquired in the first quarter further strengthen
the business area's portfolio.
Services business
Outotec's Services business is driven by a life cycle service concept involving
increase of capacity utilization levels, modernizations, upgrades and new
capital investment projects. Customer needs for spare parts, services and
modernizations are increasing due to re-commissioning of production lines and
higher utilization rates. Customers have various needs for services ranging from
single spare parts to completely outsourced service agreements. This industry
trend creates growth opportunities on many levels and supports the company's
goal to be a life cycle partner for its customers. The businesses acquired in
2010 further bolster Outotec's service offering and strengthen capabilities
globally.
FINANCIAL GUIDANCE FOR 2011
Outotec reiterates the previous guidance for the year 2011. Based on a strong
opening order backlog and active market, in 2011:
* order intake is expected to continue to grow,
* sales are expected to grow to approximately EUR 1.25-1.35 billion, and
* operating profit is expected to improve from 2010 and operating profit
margin from business operations is expected to be approximately 8-9%.
Operating profit is dependent on exchange rates, product mix, timing of new
orders and project completions.

NOTES TO THE STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME AND FINANCIAL POSITION
These interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34
Interim Financial Reporting. The same accounting policies and methods have been
applied in these interim financial statements as in the recent annual financial
statements and also the following revised standards have been applied which have
been effective from the beginning of 2011. These interim financial statements
are unaudited.
Adoption of new and revised IFRS standards and IFRIC -interpretations
Outotec has applied the following revised or new standards and interpretations
since the beginning of 2011, which do not have material impact on the Group's
interim financial statements or financial statements:
* IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures. The changed standard simplifies the
disclosure requirements for government-related entities and clarifies the
definition of a related party.
* IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation: Classification of Rights Issues.
The amendment concerns the accounting of rights issues denominated in a
currency other than the issuer's operating currency. A derivative associated
with the party's equity is an equity instrument if it entitles to receive a
fixed number of shares in the company for a fixed amount of currency or
other financial receivable. Previously, such subscription rights were
classified as derivative liabilities.
* IFRIC 14 - Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement (an interpretation
of IAS 19). The interpretation removes unintended consequences arising from
the treatment of prepayments when there is a minimum funding requirement.
The amendment results in prepayments of contributions in certain
circumstances being recognized as an asset rather than as an expense.
* IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments.
According to the interpretation a debtor and creditor may renegotiate the
terms of a financial liability with the result that the liability is fully
or partially extinguished by the debtor issuing equity instruments to the
creditor. This way the debt is swapped for equity. Such equity instruments
are "consideration paid," in accordance with IAS 39.41 and the difference
between the financial liability (or part thereof) and the fair valuation
price of the granted equity instruments is recognized through profit and
loss statement.
* Annual Improvements of IFRS standards
Use of estimates
IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period.
Accounting estimates are employed in the financial statements to determine
reported amounts, including the realizability of certain assets, the useful
lives of tangible and intangible assets, income taxes, provisions, pension
obligations, impairment of goodwill. These estimates are based on management's
best knowledge of current events and actions; however, it is possible that the
actual results may differ from the estimates used in the financial statements.
