Cargotec - Company Announcement

Cargotec's Capital Markets Day to focus on short and mid-term performance of businesses, and will include assessment of operating profit development in 2014

CARGOTEC CORPORATION, STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE, 2 DECEMBER 2013, AT 12.30 PM EET

Cargotec will host a Capital Markets Day today, 2 December 2013, in Helsinki,
Finland. Cargotec's senior management will discuss short-term profit improvement
actions as well as mid-term outlook of the businesses in its presentations.

Operating profit development in 2014
Cargotec will in conjunction of business area presentations provide the
following update on expected operating profit development in 2014:

  * MacGregor's 2014 operating profit margin excluding restructuring costs is
    expected to fall short from 2013, with gains from acquisitions being offset
    by slow recovery in merchant marine markets due to the long cycle nature of
    the business as well as an unfavourable delivery mix and M&A related
    integration costs. The favourable order intake trend that began in 2013 is
    expected to continue in 2014, with the largest impact occurring in 2015 and
    beyond.
  * Kalmar's and Hiab's operating profit excluding restructuring costs is
    expected to improve from 2013 due to earlier announced improvement actions
    that are expected to result in a run-rate improvement of EUR 40 million by
    the end of 2014 in both business areas.

Corporate-level financial guidance for 2014 will be given in connection to the
Financial statements review 2013 on 4 February 2014.

Financial targets
Cargotec confirms the following two long-term financial targets to remain valid
for the corporation going ahead:

  * Gearing below 50 percent
  * Dividend 30-50 percent of earnings per share

Following the announced acquisitions strengthening MacGregor business area
Cargotec will emphasise operative cash flow and net debt reduction activities.
Cargotec will continue to focus on short-term ongoing turnaround and integration
actions in its businesses, and will revert to longer term profitability and
return targets during 2014.

Capital Markets Day 2013
Cargotec's Capital Markets Day will begin at 1.00 p.m. Finnish time/EET and
finish by 6.00 p.m. English-language presentation material will be published on
Cargotec's website at www.cargotec.com/investors after the event.
