Cargotec's President and CEO Mikael Mäkinen:"Our performance in the first quarter was in line with our
expectations. Delivery volumes were still rather healthy, but order
intake weakened clearly compared to the record-high level during the
comparison period 2008. Cost savings from the restructuring measures
initiated were not yet visible in the result, but we are on the right
track and the results will start to show later this year. In order to
further improve our efficiency and global footprint, we plan to close
a loader crane factory in Meppel, Netherlands, and invest in a new
multi-assembly unit in Poland. In addition, we are taking a big step
in executing Cargotec's One Company strategy with the planned
combination of Hiab and Kalmar sales and services network in EMEA
region" states President and CEO Mikael Mäkinen.

Operating environment
Demand for load handling equipment was weak in the first quarter,
following the steep decline in 2008. The forestry crane markets were
the most severely affected by weakening market conditions. Decrease
in construction and new truck sales had a direct impact on demand for
load handling equipment.

The markets for container handling equipment were sluggish. A
decrease in the number of containers handled in ports prompted
customers to postpone their planned investments. Of the market areas,
Asia Pacific was slightly more active. Demand for forklift trucks and
terminal tractors fell as a result of the decline in industrial
production and the slowdown in distribution centre operations.

The markets for marine cargo flow systems plunged rapidly, as the
unprecedented shipbuilding boom of the last few years came to an end.
In the first quarter, the markets for both bulker and container ship
equipment were extremely slow as expected. Lower oil prices have led
to the postponement of investments in offshore support vessels.
Overcapacity in shipping has forced ship operators to keep ships
waiting, use ships for storage purposes, and increasingly to scrap
ships. New ship orders were very scarce. However, the number of
marine cargo flow system order cancellations so far has been
moderate.

Demand for services decreased due to the partly low equipment usage
rate, but the markets for services were clearly better than markets
for new equipment. The lower utilisation rate of cargo handling
equipment also affected spare parts sales.  While customers continued
to show an interest in more flexible operating models, the
decision-making process has become slower.

Orders Received
Orders received in the first quarter totalled EUR 456 (1,155)
million. The number of orders received fell in all business areas,
due to economic uncertainty.  It should also be noted that the order
intake during the comparison period 2008 was record-high in both
Kalmar and MacGREGOR.

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+


Hiab
Of total orders received in the first quarter, Hiab accounted for EUR
138 (228) million. Major part of the orders Hiab secured were small
individual orders, which is typical of its operations. The number of
orders received continued to decline from the end of last year, due
to low demand especially in construction-related customer segments.

In February, Hiab received a major order for 292 loader cranes from
BAE Systems Inc. in the US. Delivery of the equipment started during
the first quarter and will continue throughout the year. This order
follows the contract received in September 2008.

Kalmar
Of total orders received in the first quarter, Kalmar accounted for
EUR 224 (490) million. The economic uncertainty reflected in
customers' investment decisions lengthening decision-making
processes.  The lower usage rates of container handling equipment
reduced replacement investments.

During the first quarter, Kalmar received an order for reachstackers
and heavy range terminal tractors from Vestas Towers in the US. The
equipment will be used to lift wind turbine tower sectors and they
will be customised with special attachments designed to the customer.
This equipment will be delivered during April.

During the first quarter, Kalmar also received terminal tractor
orders from, for example, China, Tunis and Russia. A total of 50
medium range terminal tractors will be delivered to the port of
Ningbo, China. A total of 20 heavy range terminal tractors will be
delivered to the port of Sociate Tunisienne De Acconage, Tunis and 15
terminal tractors to the port of Novorossiisk Commercial Sea, Russia.

In March, Cargotec Port Security, which is part of Kalmar, won its
first commercial contract for a spreader-mounted radiation detection
system from US based Lockheed Martin. The system is designed to meet
US requirements for inbound container scanning in all ports by 2012.

Order for 62 rough terrain container handlers were received from
Tank-Automotive Armament Command (TACOM), which is part of US
Department of Defence. This equipment will be delivered during this
year.

MacGREGOR
Of total orders received, MacGREGOR accounted for EUR 96 (439)
million. The drop in orders received reflected the exceptional
shipbuilding boom strongly slowing down.

During the first quarter, MacGREGOR received significant orders to
deliver linkspans to Jordan, Morocco and Ireland. The equipment will
be delivered at the end of 2009 and at the beginning of 2010.
MacGREGOR linkspan technology is tailored to suit a particular port's
specific circumstances.

In February, a Japanese Taiheiyo Engineering ordered MacGREGOR
selfunloading systems to be installed on two coastal cement carriers
guaranteeing high capacity cargo discharging, low power consumption
and high reliability. Close co-operation with the company for many
years resulted to the order. The equipment will be delivered in 2010.

In March, MacGREGOR won a contract to deliver specially-designed RoRo
equipment to two logistic support vessels from the Australian Navy.
The equipment will be delivered in 2010 and 2011.

In March, MacGREGOR also received an order for 28 hose handling and
provision cranes from Korean shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine
Engineering Co. The cranes are destined for five very large crude
carriers and two liquid natural gas carriers and they will be
delivered during 2010 and 2012.

Cargotec Services
The general economic slowdown also affected activity in the services
market, but to a smaller extent than in the equipment market.
Although a large number of small contracts typical of the services
business were signed, customers are delaying decision-making related
to major contracts.

During the first quarter, a five-year equipment servicing and
maintenance contract was signed with the Durres Port Authority in
Albania. In addition to equipment servicing and maintenance, contract
includes the management of the parts inventory.

Order Book
Order book totalled EUR 2,772 (December 31, 2008: 3,054) million on
March 31, 2009. Of the total order book, Hiab accounted for EUR 148
(164) million, Kalmar EUR 611 (704) million and MacGREGOR EUR 2,013
(2,187) million. Hiab's order book is about two months, Kalmar's
about six months and MacGREGOR's approximately 18 months long. An
estimated 85 percent of MacGREGOR's order book will be delivered by
the end of 2010. Order cancellations booked in MacGREGOR in the first
quarter totalled EUR 60 million.

Sales
First quarter sales totalled EUR 675 (727) million. Sales declined 7
percent from the previous year mainly due to drop in volumes for load
handling equipment.

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+


Hiab's sales declined and were EUR 153 (230) million. This decline is
attributable to the low order intake in the final quarter of 2008 and
during the reporting period. The low sales volume reflects the
general uncertainty in the load handling equipment market and
customers' lack of willingness to invest.

Kalmar's sales totalled EUR 306 (322) million. Delivery volumes were
healthy, thanks to the high order book at the beginning of the year.

MacGREGOR's sales development was favourable and totalled EUR 218
(177) million. Sales growth is a result of strong order intake in
previous years.

Sales from services were on the comparison period level while growth
a year earlier was 9 percent. Sales from services amounted to EUR 187
(191) million, representing 28 (26) percent of total sales. Services
accounted for 29 (22) percent of the first quarter sales at Hiab, 29
(31) percent at Kalmar and 25 (23) percent at MacGREGOR.

Financial Result
First quarter operating profit totalled EUR 6.2 (44.2) million. The
operating profit includes EUR 8.8 (0.0) million of costs booked from
the restructuring actions initiated in September 2008.

Operating profit excluding restructuring costs for the first quarter
was EUR 15.0 (44.2) million, representing 2.2 (6.1) percent of sales.
The operating profit includes a EUR 1.5 (1.4) million cost impact for
the purchase price allocation treatment of acquisitions and EUR 2.0
(0.0) million costs from the On the Move change programme.

Operating profit, particularly in Hiab, was eroded by the low
production capacity utilisation rate. Despite of significant
restructuring actions, Hiab was unable to adjust its operations to
the plunge in demand quickly enough. Furthermore, in Hiab and Kalmar,
product profitability was weakened by deliveries with material costs
still partly on the previous upturn levels. MacGREGOR continued to
show profitable growth.

Net income for the first quarter was EUR 1.5 (31.5) million and
earnings per share EUR 0.01 (0.50).

Balance Sheet, Financing and Cash Flow
On March 31, 2009, net working capital decreased to EUR 289 (December
31, 2008: 324) million. The decrease resulted from strong delivery
volumes in Kalmar and MacGREGOR which reduced work-in-progress as
well as a reduction in component and material inventories. Tangible
assets on the balance sheet were EUR 295 (284) million and intangible
assets EUR 764 (754) million.

Cash flow from operating activities before financial items and taxes
for the first quarter was EUR 59.6 (50.1) million. The dividend
payment totalled EUR 34.4 (61.3) million.

Net debt at the end of the reporting period was EUR 510 (December 31,
2008: 478) million, including EUR 614 (565) million in
interest-bearing debt. The total equity/total assets ratio was 32.8
(33.0) percent while gearing increased to 63.2 (55.3) percent.
Dividend payment in March increased gearing.

Cargotec's financing structure is healthy. Interest-bearing debt
consists mainly of long-term corporate bonds maturing from the year
2012. On March 31, 2009, Cargotec had EUR 635 million of unused
credit facilities.

In order to strengthen its financial structure, Cargotec raised a
five-year Pension Premium Loan (TyEL) of EUR 50 million in March
2009.

Return on equity for the first quarter was 0.7 (14.2) percent and
return on capital employed was 1.9 (13.4) percent.

New Products and Product Development
Research and product development expenditure for the first quarter
was 9.8 (11.2) million, representing 1.5 (1.5) percent of sales.
Despite the weakened market situation, Cargotec continues to invest
in product development.

Hiab launched the first stiff boom crane for the Chinese market. In
addition, a new 30-tonne demountable was introduced in Hiab's
demountable product family.

In January Kalmar launched a new heavy range terminal tractor for
LoLo (lift-on, lift-off) operations. The tractor has been designed in
close co-operation with customers and it meets the strictest
requirements for ergonomics and driveability, power and economy as
well as environmental friendliness.

During the first quarter, Kalmar automatic stacking crane system
development concerning the final performance testing phase continued
in Hamburg CTB terminal with good results.

Kalmar was also preparing of commencing ship-to-shore crane
production in Asia. At the same time, Kalmar has changed its cranes
so that it is easier to make the final assembly on the customer's
site. This makes the transportation simpler and less expensive. All
Kalmar ship-to-shore cranes will be delivered with a new crane
control system that includes the crane's control, crane management
and fault diagnostics.

In January, MacGREGOR's Offshore division delivered the first subsea
knuckle-jib crane equipped with a system for fibre rope handling.
Technology for handling lightweight fibre rope rather than
traditional steel wire rope offers several advantages: much heavier
loads can be handled without strain to the crane at unlimited depths
and consequently, overall safety is improved due to the lighter
equipment which still can carry out heavy work operations.

Capital Expenditure
Capital expenditure for the first quarter, excluding acquisitions and
customer financing, totalled EUR 17.7 (10.2) million. Investments in
customer financing were EUR 10.0 (7.7) million.

Expansion of capacity in Malaysia for container spreaders and in
Texas, USA for rough terrain container handlers, continued during the
reporting period. In addition, the capacity expansion investment in
Narva, Estonia was in the final stage and in Shanghai, China the
doubling of production capacity was finalised.

On the Move Change Programme
In January 2008, Cargotec announced the launch of an extensive On the
Move change programme aiming at a productivity improvement of EUR
80-100 million. The change programme aims to form a basis for
profitable growth through improved customer focus and efficiency. The
implementation of the programme will continue by introducing the new
governance model in management and organisation.

At the beginning of 2009, Cargotec established a common Supply
organisation, which is responsible for sourcing and supply and which
develops the global supply closer to customers as well as towards
lower cost environments. During 2009, Cargotec will implement a
significant change in its supply footprint.

The projects in the first phase have focused on streamlining support
functions and company structure as well as initiating IT projects
that improve efficiency. These projects continue and changes in
company structure will to a large extent be finalised during the
year.

The governance model established in early February is based on three
key functions: solutions, supply and support. These functions develop
Cargotec's processes over business area borders.

Acquisitions
During the period, Cargotec acquired an 18 percent minority of Kalmar
España S.A., after which Cargotec owns all the shares of the company.

Personnel
On March 31, 2009, Cargotec employed 11,467 (11,524) people. Hiab
employed 4,178 (4,592) people, Kalmar 4,516 (4,555), and MacGREGOR
2,495 (2,278). The average number of employees during the first
quarter was 11,649 (11,284).

Of Cargotec's total employees, 20 (22) percent were located in
Sweden, 12 (13) percent in Finland and 31 (30) percent in the rest of
Europe. North and South American personnel represented 10 (12)
percent, Asia Pacific 25 (22) percent and the rest of the world 2 (1)
percent of total employees.

In March, negotiations to expedite the shut-down of the Salo
facility, agreed in late 2008, were concluded. These negotiations
resulted in the reduction of 83 employees in March and a gradual
reduction of 33 people by the end of September.

As a result of the restructuring measures initiated in September
2008, the number of personnel decreased by 514 by the end of the
first quarter: by 308 in Hiab, by 196 in Kalmar, and by 10 in
corporate functions. These restructuring measures will lead to a
total personnel reduction of 960; including 270 in Finland and 240 in
Sweden.

Restructuring measures continued in the first quarter of 2009 as
market conditions weakened further. The co-operation negotiations
undertaken involve 260 employees in Hiab, almost 400 in Kalmar, and
65 in MacGREGOR. In addition, a significant number of temporary
lay-offs have been agreed on in several locations.

the trade register according to the schedule published earlier, not
later than May 15, 2009. Trading with the new shares together with
the old shares will begin at NASDAQ OMX Helsinki after the
registration.

The subscription period with 2005B option rights ended March 31,
2009. A total of 333,570 Cargotec class B shares were subscribed with
2005B option rights during the subscription period. After the end of
the subscription period, the unused option rights have become null
and void and will be removed from their holders' book-entry accounts.
The Company has no valid option programme.

Market Capitalisation and Trading
On March 31, 2009, the total market value of class B shares was EUR
363 million, excluding treasury shares held by the Company. The
period-end market capitalisation, in which unlisted class A shares
are valued at the average price of class B shares on the last trading
day of the reporting period, was EUR 429 million, excluding treasury
shares held by the Company.

The closing price of class B shares on March 31, 2009 was EUR 7.00.
The average share price for January-March was EUR 7.61 the highest
quotation being EUR 9.54 and the lowest EUR 6.37. In January-March,
approximately 19 million class B shares were traded on the NASDAQ OMX
Helsinki, corresponding to a turnover of approximately EUR 144
million.

Short-term Risks and Uncertainties
The global economic situation is uncertain. Cargotec's operations are
subject to significant short-term risks and uncertainty factors,
related to the effects of the drop in demand for Cargotec's products
and services and the willingness of customers to invest. The fact
that many factors underlying this uncertainty are beyond the control
of the Company merely serves to amplify the challenge confronting
risk analysis.

Prolonged market uncertainty and credit drought increases the risk of
lower, general willingness to invest and consequently demand for
Cargotec's products and services could further decrease. The credit
crunch may also defer investment decisions or lead to postponement
and cancellation of orders. Furthermore, customers' and suppliers'
financial situations will affect the collection of receivables and
the level of bad debt.

Cargotec continues to expect that the potential risk for
cancellations in MacGREGOR is approximately 20 percent of the order
book at the beginning of the year.

The company is currently implementing a large number of restructuring
measures. The efficient implementation of these measures is a
prerequisite for profitability improvement.

Events after the reporting period
Cargotec is proceeding with an investment plan for a multi-assembly
unit (MAU) in Stargard Szczecinski in Northern Poland, to improve its
global supply footprint. Land purchase is estimated to be finalised
in early summer 2009 and production is planned to start initially in
rented premises in the same region during 2009. The new MAU in
Stargard Szczecinski is planned to support the production of a wide
range of Cargotec equipment. Production start in own premises on the
new site is planned for the second quarter in 2010. Estimated cash
flow impact of the investment cost in 2009 is close to EUR 20
million.

Cargotec plans to combine its Hiab and Kalmar sales and services
networks in Europe, Middle-East and Africa (EMEA) during 2009 in a
significant reorganisation and efficiency initiative. The new
operating model will be aligned with Cargotec's One Company approach
with a strong combined customer frontline and service organisation.
With these measures, Cargotec improves further its customer focus and
efficiency. The target is to achieve a running rate of savings of EUR
15 million by the end of 2009, with a further EUR 5 million in 2010.

Due to the prevailing market situation the production of loader
cranes located in Meppel in the Netherlands is planned to be closed
during 2009. The closure is part of developing the global supply
presence. The plan is aligned with earlier announced actions to
consolidate crane manufacturing and to adjust Hiab's production
capacity in Europe. Cargotec has initiated co-operation negotiations
regarding the possible layoffs of factory's some 100 employees.

The initiated reorganisation in and the factory closure are estimated
to create restructuring charges of EUR 25 million, the majority in
2009.

Outlook
The economic situation and investment activity continue to be
uncertain, which makes it difficult to estimate demand for Cargotec's
products. This is further complicated by possible order postponements
and cancellations. Sales in MacGREGOR are expected to grow in 2009.
Sales of Hiab and Kalmar are expected to clearly decline from 2008
level. A total of approximately EUR 40 million of restructuring costs
improving competitiveness are expected to be booked in 2009, of which
EUR 9 million was booked in the first quarter.

Acquisitions
In March, Cargotec acquired the 18 percent minority share of Kalmar
España, S.A. After acquisition, Cargotec has
100% ownership of the company's shares.
Hiab has established a small joint-venture focusing on the
environmental segment in China.




Accounting Principles
The interim report has been prepared according to the International
Accounting Standard 34: Interim
Financial Reporting. The accounting policies adopted are consistent
with those of the annual financial
statements of 2008. All figures presented have been rounded and
consequently the sum of individual figures
may deviate from the presented sum figure.

Adoption of new and revised standards starting on January 1, 2009

Starting from January 1, 2009 Cargotec has adopted the following new
and revised standards by the IASB
published in 2008:
- IFRS 8, Operating segments: The adoption of the new standard does
not have a material effect on the
interim financial statements, as Cargotec segment reporting was also
previously aligned with management
reporting, and the accounting principles of the management reporting
are consistent with those of the
financial reporting.
-IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements: The adoption of the
revised standard has an impact on the
presentation of interim financial statements.
- IAS 23, Borrowing Costs: The amended standard requires that also
the borrowing costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition of the qualifying asset form part of
the cost of that asset. In previous years,
Cargotec has expensed such borrowing costs as incurred. The amendment
has no material
impact on the result for the interim reporting period.

Calculation of key figures

                        Total equity attributable to the shareholders
                        of
                        the parent company
Equity / share    =     ______________________________________
                        Share issue adjusted number of shares at the
                        end of period (excluding treasury shares)

Interest-bearing        Interest-bearing debt* - interest-bearing
net debt          =     assets

                        Total equity
Total equity /      100
total assets (%)  =  x  ______________________________________                 Total assets - advances received

                        Interest-bearing debt* - interest-bearing
                        assets
                    100
Gearing (%)       =  x  ______________________________________
                        Total equity

                        Net income for period
Return on equity    100
(%)               =  x  ______________________________________
                        Total equity (average for period)

                        Income before taxes + interest and other
                        financing expenses
Return on capital   100
employed (%)      =  x  ______________________________________
                        Total assets - non-interest-bearing debt
                        (average for period)

                        Net income for the period attributable to the
                        shareholders of the parent company
Basic earnings /
share             =     ______________________________________
                        Share issue adjusted weighted average number
                        of shares during the period (excluding
                        treasury shares)

* Including cross currency hedging of the USD 300 million Private
Placement corporate bond.
