BJÖRN ROSENGREN, PRESIDENT AND CEO"The second quarter development was reasonable considering the current economic
situation, with net sales increasing by 5% and profitability at 9.6%. We
continue to work towards reaching this year's growth and profitability targets.
Marine markets are showing some signs of improvement, with the offshore and
specialised vessel segments continuing to be active. Furthermore, competitive
new building prices and the increased fuel efficiency of modern vessels are
attracting investments in the merchant segment. Overall order intake levels were
lower than in the previous year, especially in Power Plants where we are
experiencing delays in customer decision-making. We have seen some recovery in
the service markets, which was reflected in the Services' net sales increase of
4%. Supported by our solid order book and the stable Services business, our
prospects for 2013 remain unchanged."

MARKET OUTLOOK
The general macroeconomic uncertainty and the slow global growth projections are
expected to continue to impact the global power generation markets. It is
expected that the overall market for natural gas and liquid fuel based power
generation in 2013 will be similar to that of 2012. In 2013, ordering activity
is expected to remain focused on the emerging markets, which continue to invest
in new power generation capacity. In the OECD countries, there is still pent-up
power sector demand, mainly driven by CO2 neutral generation and the ramp down
of older, mainly coal-based generation.

Our outlook for the shipping and shipbuilding market in 2013 is cautious,
although market conditions are expected to be better than in 2012. Despite the
continued activity in orders, financing and overcapacity related issues are
still visible in the traditional merchant markets. The orders placed in these
markets focus more on fuel-efficient design and technology. Current emission
regulations create interesting opportunities in environmental solutions. The
contracting mix is expected to be largely in line with that seen in 2012,
favouring contracting in offshore and specialised vessel segments. The outlook
for gas demand remains healthy and the attractiveness of LNG as a fuel is
supported by its low carbon intensity, global trade, and pricing.

The overall service market outlook remains stable. A continued increase in the
medium-speed engine and propulsion installed base helps to balance the market
environment in regions such as Europe, where the market is expected to remain
challenging - especially on the marine side. The outlook for offshore services
remains positive. Interesting opportunities can be seen in long term service
agreements for gas powered vessels. Demand for services in the power segment
continues to be good. The outlook for the Middle East and Asia remains slightly
more positive, supported by interest in power plant related service projects.
The outlook is also good in the Americas, where there is a mix of marine and
power plant customers.

WÄRTSILÄ'S PROSPECTS FOR 2013 UNCHANGED
Wärtsilä expects its net sales for 2013 to grow by 0-10% and its operational
profitability (EBIT% before non-recurring items) to be around 11%.
