tendering activity, the management expects that in 2013:

  * Sales will be approximately EUR 2.1-2.3 billion (grow from 2012), and
  * Operating profit margin from business operations*) will be approximately
    9.5-10.5% (further improve from 2012)

*) excluding one-time items and purchase price allocations (PPA) amortizations

President and CEO Pertti Korhonen:"The year 2012 was very successful for Outotec and an important milestone in our
strategy implementation. For the first time, our sales exceeded two billioneuros. We also managed to improve our profitability in line with our long term
targets.

Despite the sluggish world economy, the demand for our technologies and services
continued solid throughout the year and our sales grew faster than the market.
Our customers' investment decisions are increasingly driven by environmental and
energy efficiency factors, which boosted the demand for our advanced
technologies. Environmental Goods and Services accounted for approximately 89%
of our 2012 order intake (by OECD criteria), consisting of sustainable solutions
for minerals and metals processing and environmental solutions including gas
cleaning, sulfuric acid, alternative and renewable energy.

The growth in our minerals and metals processing solutions continued strong with
new breakthroughs. The most significant and the largest single order in
Outotec's history was the turn-key ilmenite smelter delivery to Cristal Global
in Saudi Arabia. Our non-ferrous solutions business progressed strongly on all
fronts. In the environmental solutions business, we made very good progress
especially in waste-to-energy and industrial water treatment business and
received several orders. We successfully continued to grow our services business
both organically and through acquisitions, and we expanded our life cycle
services offering. I am especially delighted with the long term operation and
maintenance contract with the Russian Copper Company's Mikheevsky concentrator
(published in January 2013), and I strongly believe that this type of service
solutions leveraging our unique competence in process technology offers
considerable growth opportunities for us in the future.

We launched our current operational model and strategy in 2010 as a platform for
sustainable growth. These initiatives have been very successful, delivering
strong profitable growth even beyond our own expectations. I would like to thank
our employees for their great spirit, dedication, and the great results. In
addition to a good financial result, their commitment was demonstrated in the
high participation rate of 34% in Outotec's Employee Share Savings Plan launched
in the fourth quarter of 2012.

The mood in the world economy has somewhat improved during the past few months
but the positive trend is still fragile. Uncertainty in the market may delay our
customers' decisions to invest in new production capacity, impacting our order
intake development going forward. We believe that environmental investments will
further increase as governments are paying more and more attention to the
necessity of sustainable development, also in developing markets.

Our strong order backlog gives us a good start in 2013, and we believe that
there are plenty of growth opportunities for all our business areas. Sales
growth in 2013 is forecasted to be moderate due to only slightly higher order
intake in 2012 compared to previous year. We plan to continue to boost our
growth through acquisitions, in addition to organic development. Since 2010 we
have acquired and successfully integrated 12 companies, four of these in 2012.
Besides growth, we plan to improve further our profitability and develop our
operations in line with our strategy. Our mission is "Sustainable use of Earth's
natural resources" and we will continue our work towards this also in 2013."

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS REVIEW JANUARY-DECEMBER 2012

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

Despite the adverse global macroeconomic environment, in 2012 the demand for
Outotec's solutions continued at a good level because of the company's
competitive offering and good market position. The long term outlook for metals
demand continued to be positive, driving investments to new capacity especially
in non-ferrous metals value chain. Some mining companies announced revised
investment plans mainly in the areas of iron ore and coal. Towards year-end base
metal prices in particular strengthened and strong recovery was seen also in
iron ore prices. In addition to greenfield investments, customers continued to
seek additional operational improvements through the expansion and modernization
of existing processing capacity. Market activity continued to be high in copper,
gold, sulfuric acid, and aluminum markets but zinc, nickel, and platinum group
metals markets were more subdued. In general, Outotec's project deliveries
progressed well. Customers' production capacity utilization rates stayed high,
supporting Outotec's spare parts and services sales. In addition, there was
strong demand for operation and maintenance as well as shut down services due to
Outotec's special capabilities in these areas. The competitive landscape
remained relatively unchanged with some industry consolidation.

Despite continued macro-economic uncertainties, investment financing for solid
projects continued to be available. However, local legislation, tighter
environmental permitting and the complexity of financing packages slowed sales
negotiations in some projects. In alternative energy solutions, low energy
prices and uncertainties in political regulation impacted investment decisions
in some countries.

ORDER INTAKE

Order intake in 2012 totaled EUR 2,084.4 million (2011: EUR 2,005.4 million), a
4% increase from the comparison period. The largest order in 2012, and in
Outotec's history, over EUR 350 million, was received in the second quarter.
Orders received also included new breakthroughs in renewable energy as well as
industrial water and environmental solutions. Foreign exchange rates did not
have material effect on order intake growth. Orders from EMEA (Europe including
the CIS, Middle East and Africa) represented 59%, Americas 26%, and Asia Pacific
15% of the total order intake. Orders received in the fourth quarter of 2012

ORDER BACKLOG

The order backlog at the end of 2012 was EUR 1,947.1 million (December
31, 2011: EUR 1,985.1 million), a 2% decrease from the previous year-end. At the
end of 2012, Outotec had 38 projects with an order backlog value in excess of
EUR 10 million, accounting for 70% of the total backlog. Based on the 2012 year-
end project evaluation, management estimates that roughly 77% (approximately EUR
1,500 million) of the year-end order backlog value will be delivered in 2013 and
the rest in 2014 and beyond.

SALES AND FINANCIAL RESULT

Outotec's sales in 2012 totaled EUR 2,087.4 million (2011: EUR 1,385.6 million),
up 51% from the comparison period. The sales growth resulted from successful
customer project deliveries from the strong opening order backlog and growth of
services business. Recent acquisitions (Kiln Services, Energy Products of Idaho,
Numcore, Demil, TME Group, and Backfill Specialists) accounted for approximately
5% of the total growth (2011: no impact). Foreign exchange rates did not have
material effect on sales growth. Sales in the fourth quarter of 2012 totaled EUR
649.8 million (Q4/2011: EUR 496.8 million), up 31% from the comparison period.

Sales in the Services business area, which is included in the sales figures of
the three reporting segments, totaled EUR 476.0 million in 2012 (2011: EUR
343.5 million), up 39% from the comparison period and accounting for 23% of
Outotec's sales (2011: 25%). Recent acquisitions (Kiln Services, TME Group and
Demil) accounted for approximately 9% of the Services business area sales growth
(2011: no impact). Services growth was achieved by further penetrating the old
installed base and services delivered to the new installed base. In addition,
demand for operation and maintenance as well as shutdown services grew in 2012.
Sales in the Services business area in the fourth quarter of 2012 totaled EUR
184.1 million (Q4/2011: EUR 109.1 million), up 69% from the comparison period
and accounting for 28% of Outotec's sales (Q4/2011: 22%).

Operating profit from business operations in 2012 was EUR 193.8 million (2011:
EUR 121.5 million), up 60% from the comparison period and representing 9.3% of
sales (2011: 8.8%). The operating profit in 2012 was positively impacted by
higher sales as well as successful project and service deliveries. The operating
profit was negatively impacted by increased risk provisions in two customer
projects. In 2012, the company also received less license fee income than in
2011. Unrealized and realized exchange gains related to currency forward
contracts totaled EUR 2.1 million (2011: gain of EUR 1.7 million). Operating
profit in 2012 was EUR 184.3 million (2011: EUR 111.9 million), representing
8.8% of sales (2011: 8.1% of sales). The total impact of PPA amortizations in
2012 was EUR 12.5 million (2011: EUR 4.9 million). The increase in the PPA
amortizations resulted primarily from the Energy Products of Idaho (EPI)
acquisition in December 2011. One-time items in 2012 totaled a gain of EUR 3.0
million (2011: cost of EUR 4.7 million) including acquisition related costs of
EUR 2.7 million (2011: costs of EUR 2.0 million), restructuring related costs of
EUR 0.6 million (2011: costs of EUR 2.6 million) and the positive impact of EUR
6.3 million reduction from EPI earn-out payment liability of EUR 8.8 million.

Operating profit from business operations in the fourth quarter of 2012 was EUR
74.0 million (Q4/2011: EUR 54.9 million), representing 11.4% of sales (Q4/2011:
11.0%), and operating profit was EUR 74.9 million (Q4/2011: EUR 48.9 million),
representing 11.5% of sales (Q4/2011: 9.9%). Unrealized and realized exchange
gains related to currency forward contracts in the fourth quarter of 2012 were
EUR 2.3 million (Q4/2011: loss of 0.6 EUR million). The impact of PPA
amortizations in the fourth quarter of 2012 operating profit was EUR 3.3 million
(Q4/2011: EUR 1.3 million).

Fixed costs in 2012 were EUR 254.7 million (2011: EUR 217.7 million) equivalent
to 12% (2011: 16%) of sales. The cost increase was primarily due to expanding of
the sales and marketing network, acquisitions, R&D activities as well as
investments in developing and deploying the global operational model in line
with the strategy. Profit before taxes in 2012 was EUR 179.7 million (2011: EUR
113.3 million). It included net finance expenses of EUR 4.6 million (2011: net
finance income EUR 1.4 million) of which EUR 1.2 million was related to
impairment of loan receivables from available-for-sale investments and EUR 2.6
million related to valuation of financial items and related hedges. Net profit
for the reporting period was EUR 127.8 million (2011: EUR 79.3 million). Taxes
totaled EUR 51.9 million (2011: EUR 34.0 million). Earnings per share were EUR
2.82 (2011: EUR 1.75), up 61% from the comparison period.

Outotec's return on equity in 2012 was 29.0% (2011: 20.9%), and the return on
investment was 36.5% (2011: 26.4%).

Non-ferrous Solutions

Sales in the Non-ferrous Solutions business area in 2012 totaled EUR 1,305.5
million (2011: EUR 947.6 million), up 38% from the comparison period. The
increase was due to good progress in customer deliveries from the order backlog,
continued strong order intake, and growth in Services sales. The operating
profit from business operations in 2012 was EUR 163.2 million, 12.5% of sales
(2011: EUR 113.1 million, 11.9% of sales), and operating profit was EUR 157.5
million, 12.1% of sales (2011: EUR 107.7 million, 11.4% of sales). Operating
profit was improved due to operating leverage resulting from higher sales and
good performance in project deliveries. The unrealized and realized exchange
gains related to currency forward contracts increased profitability in 2012 by
EUR 1.8 million (2011: loss of EUR 1.3 million).

In the fourth quarter of 2012, sales were EUR 396.5 million (Q4/2011: EUR 358.8
million), the operating profit from business operations was EUR 66.1 million,
16.7% of sales (Q4/2011: EUR 54.5 million, 15.2% of sales), and operating profit
EUR 63.4 million, 16.0% of sales (Q4/2011: EUR 52.4 million, 14.6% of sales).
The unrealized and realized exchange gains related to currency forward contracts
increased profitability in the fourth quarter of 2012 by EUR 0.8 million
(Q4/2011: loss of EUR 2.4 million).

Ferrous Solutions

Sales in the Ferrous Solutions business area in 2012 totaled EUR 371.2 million
(2011: EUR 221.1 million), up 68% from the comparison period. The increase was
due to the successful execution of long term projects from the order backlog and
growth in Services sales especially related to Demil acquisition. The operating
profit from business operations in 2012 was EUR 31.4 million, 8.5% of sales
(2011: EUR 9.8 million, 4.4% of sales) and operating profit was EUR 30.0
million, 8.1% of sales (2011: EUR 6.7 million, 3.1% of sales). The unrealized
and realized exchange gains related to currency forward contracts increased
profitability in 2012 by EUR 0.6 million (2011: loss of EUR 0.0 million).

long term projects, acquisitions, and growth in Services sales. The operating
profit from business operations in 2012 was EUR 22.6 million, 5.3% of sales
(2011: EUR 25.8 million, 10.9% of sales) and operating profit was EUR 20.3
million, 4.8% of sales (2011: EUR 23.8 million, 10.1% of sales). Operating
profit from business operations in 2012 decreased due to higher than planned
project costs and increased risk provisions in two customer projects in the
third and fourth quarter as well as fewer project completions compared to the
comparison period. In addition, unrealized and realized exchange losses of EUR
0.6 million (2011: gain of EUR 2.9 million) related to currency forward
contracts impacted the profitability in 2012.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, sales were EUR 134.1 million (Q4/2011: EUR 70.9

Outotec's new product launches in 2012:

Non-ferrous Solutions

Outotec agreed with Korea Zinc Company on the global marketing rights for the
Ausmelt Top Submerged Lance (TSL) technology for the fuming of zinc bearing
residues. The TSL zinc fuming technology is able to maximize the recovery of
valuable metals from zinc residues and produce an environmentally-friendly slag
product which is clean and safe as a substitute for aggregates and various
construction materials (press release on Dec 12).

Outotec delivered the world's first university-based minipilot concentrator to
the Department of Process and Environmental Engineering of the University of
Oulu, Finland. The small research and minerals processing plant is designed for
a learning environment and represents the concentrating process of the Pyhäsalmi
mine in Finland on the scale of 1:5000. It offers an innovative environment for
education and research of minerals processing unit operations (press release on
Dec 11).

Outotec launched the world's largest semi-autogenous (SAG) grinding mill to the
market in response to growing metals demand and declining ore grades. The mill
is driven by a 28 MW Gearless Motor Drive, which is the largest grinding mill
power ever used. The SAG mill offers increased efficiency and up to 15% larger
mill capacity with low energy consumption.

Outotec and Sandvik Mining announced closer cooperation in minerals processing
solutions. This enables Outotec to offer an entire processing plant, including
crushing, grinding, and concentrating as well as process testing, design, basic
engineering, and process guarantees (press release on Sep 24).

Outotec received exclusive rights from Swiss Tower Mills Minerals Ltd to
distribute and sell its Tower Mills (STM) grinding technology. High-intensity
grinding mills marketed as Outotec® HIGmill bring a new option to the market,
enabling Outotec to compete for the position of market leader in fine and ultra-
fine grinding (press release on April 5).

Outotec launched the world's largest flotation cell, the Outotec TankCell® e500.
It has been designed for plants with high material throughputs, such as large
copper and gold concentrators. Outotec offers the broadest size range of
flotation cells on the market (from 5 m³ to 500 m³), which allows for a flexible
layout with symmetrical design. The benefits include lower equipment costs and
energy consumption, less installation work, and a smaller plant footprint. Fewer
units per installation result in fewer components, spare parts, and less
maintenance.

Outotec launched the Outotec® Larox PF 180, the world's largest pressure filter.
The PF 180 series are 50% larger than the previous model and lowering operating
cost per ton.

Ferrous Solutions

Outotec has developed a new Outotec® EOS - Emission Optimized Sintering process
for iron ore sintering. Besides iron ores, it can also be applied for sintering
of manganese ore fines. The process reduces the substantial off-gas volume by
50-60% by re-circulating the off-gas and using its CO content as an energy
source. As there are less off-gases, the off-gas cleaning investment and
operational costs will be lower, and the consumption of coke used as energy can
be cut by up to 20%, which significantly reduces dust and emissions.

Outotec introduced an automated pallet car changer for iron ore sintering and
pelletizing plants. The new solution increases plant productivity since no
stoppage is necessary during the changing procedure. The automated process
allows continuous change of multiple pallet cars. The solution can be applied
both in new and brownfield sintering and pelletizing plants.

Outotec has added Direct Current Furnaces to its ferroalloy smelting technology
portfolio, and in partnership with Allied Furnace Consultants (AFC) based in
South Africa, has developed and patented a new conductive anode design which
will be installed in all new Outotec® Direct Current Smelting furnaces
worldwide.

Outotec has developed an ilmenite smelting process which applies Outotec's
ferroalloy smelting technology. The new technology will be implemented in
Cristal Global's mega size ilmenite smelter project in the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia (stock exchange release on May 31). The initial annual capacity of one of
the world's largest ilmenite plants will be 500,000 tonnes of titanium dioxide
slag, and 235,000 tonnes of high purity pig iron.

Energy, Light Metals and Environmental Solutions

Outotec has developed a patented clay calcination process to activate different
clay minerals in a fluidized bed furnace. Depending on the quality requirements,
solid fuels can also be used as an energy source for the reaction. In Outotec's
trial plants, diverse samples can be produced for verification of the product
quality. Clay calcination offers a significant reduction in carbon dioxide
compared to the traditional clinker production process.

The acquisition of Energy Products of Idaho has significantly improved Outotec's
capabilities to offer biomass and waste-to-energy systems which can operate on
over 200 different biomass fuels and fuel mixes. Covering the entire chain of
converting different biomass materials into energy, our circulating and
stationary fluidized bed systems allow utilization of a variety of fuel
substances - from waste wood up to biomass sludge such as lignin sludge from
bio-ethanol production. The new energy systems will be applied, for example, in
the Karton 90 MW biomass power plant in Turkey (press release on Nov 16) and in
the advanced sewage sludge thermal treatment plant in Zürich, Switzerland (press
release on Nov 9).

SUSTAINABILITY

In October, Outotec was recognized for the fourth consecutive year in Carbon
Disclosure Leadership Index.

framework for sustainability in the Indonesian mining and metals processing
industries. The seminar was organized jointly with the Indonesian Ministry of
Environment. Outotec presented sustainable solutions and environmental
considerations in minerals and metals processing as well as trends in
environmental legislation in Europe.

Outotec published its sustainability report for 2011 in April. The report is

where potential economic sanctions or trade restrictions may cause project
delays or even prevent project execution and Outotec's business operations.

As part of its overall project delivery, Outotec often gives performance
guarantees and takes liabilities for the warranty period defects. Projects in
Outotec's order backlog may contain risks related to delivery, quality,
functionality or costs. Large turnkey projects may involve more risks, for
example, due to their complex scope, long delivery times, and contractual
liabilities. Operation and maintenance service contracts may include
performance, personnel, and working capital related risks. In order to manage
these business risks, Outotec has developed close management of both the project
itself but in particular, the supply chain. Outotec aims to mitigate project
risks through contract management, advance and milestone payments as well as
gradual booking of orders in the backlog according to actual project progress in
some cases. According to standard practice, all unfinished projects are
evaluated quarterly and provisions for performance guarantees and warranty
period guarantees are updated.

Outotec follows the percentage of completion method for project revenue
recognition. Based on project time schedules, management estimates the revenues
to be recognized from the order backlog for the calendar year. As a result,
deviations in project time schedules may have an impact on the company's
financial projections. Financial result may also fluctuate due to the sales mix
and relative share of Services, changes in foreign exchange rates, timing of new
orders, license fee income, and project completions. The nature of international
business, different interpretations of international and local tax rules and
regulations may cause additional direct or indirect taxes for Outotec, thus
reducing the company's net result.

Acquisitions are an integral part of Outotec's strategy. Goodwill may be
generated from acquisitions and if estimated synergy benefits do not materialize
it may lead to goodwill impairment.

Outotec's business model is primarily based on customer advance and milestone
payments as well as on-demand guarantees issued by Outotec's relationship banks.
Securing the continuity of Outotec's business operations and supporting the
strategic objectives requires that the company has sufficient funding available
under all circumstances. Cash held by the company is primarily invested in short
term bank deposits and in Finnish corporate short term certificates of deposit.
Outotec's customers and subcontractors may experience financial difficulties and
lack of financing may result in project and payment delays or credit losses.

More than 50% 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 substantially fluctuate, but most cash-flow-related
risks are hedged over the short term and long term. In the short term, currency
fluctuations may create volatility in profitability. The forecasted and probable
cash flows are selectively hedged and are always subject to 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 primarily forward agreements.

The most relevant risks related to Outotec's business are presented in more
detail at the company's website www.outotec.com.

MARKET OUTLOOK

Many global macroeconomic indicators including metals prices have been
strengthening during recent months due to the more positive GDP growth outlook
in the BRIC countries, Africa, the USA, and Europe. The overall market outlook
for minerals and metals as well as alternative energy and industrial water
treatment is positive due to the favorable megatrends. In addition, project
financing is available and interest rate levels are expected to stay low.

In minerals and metals processing, new investments are needed as current
production capacity and ongoing investments in new capacity are not sufficient
to fulfill the long term demand of metals. The main drivers for increasing
metals demand are global GDP growth and the growing middle class in emerging
economies. In addition, declining ore grades and more complex ores require
investments in capacity and advanced technology to enable sufficient recovery of
metals. In addition to these production capacity drivers, tightening
environmental regulations, increasing energy efficiency requirements, and
reducing of energy costs, carbon dioxide and other emissions as well as scarcity
of fresh water increase investments in sustainable technology. Additionally,
many developing countries, which in the past have been exporting raw materials
with low value, are now investing in domestic capacity in order to capture more
value from their natural resources. All in all, the industry is increasingly
focusing on the social and environmental impacts of their operations and this is
increasing the demand for sustainable processing technologies.

There are still uncertainties in the world economy. However, metal prices are
currently at a good level, and therefore, mining and metal companies are seeking
ways to increase the capacity of their existing operations, which is often the
fastest route to a return on investment. As a result, the industry CAPEX has
been somewhat shifting from large greenfield projects requiring significant
infrastructure investments to brownfield modernization and capacity
enhancements. Outotec believes that the market continues to be solid in
brownfield and mid-tier projects as well as services. New projects are
developed, especially in the CIS, Middle East, Africa, and South-East Asia.
Large turnkey projects are currently being developed more slowly as investment
costs have been increasing, environmental permitting has been getting stricter,
and industry's human resources continue to be scarce. These trends create
favorable opportunities for Outotec's life cycle solutions when the company can
provide the best return on the customer's investment with predictable investment
cost, time to market, and process performance, leveraging the company's unique
technologies and core competencies.

Demand for alternative energy solutions continues to be stable, but in many
countries current low energy prices and the lack of local regulations are
slowing down the growth of investments in this area. However, niche waste-to-
energy projects, where several raw materials can be used to create renewable
energy for solving a local waste problem, are identified globally.

REVISED FINANCIAL GUIDANCE FOR 2013 (EARLIER GUIDANCE IN PARENTHESIS)

Based on the strong order backlog, current market outlook and the customer
tendering activity, the management expects that in 2013:

  * Sales will be approximately EUR 2.1-2.3 billion (grow from 2012), and
  * Operating profit margin from business operations*) will be approximately
    9.5-10.5% (further improve from 2012)

NOTES TO THE STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Outotec  has applied the following revised  or new standards and interpretations
since  the beginning of 2012, which  do not have material  impact on the Group's
financial statements:

  * IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments, Disclosures - Transfer of Financial Assets
    (Amendment to IFRS 7). The amendment introduces new disclosure requirements
    about transfer of financial assets in two cases; financial assets that are
    not derecognized in their entirety and financial assets that are
    derecognized in their entirety but for which the entity retains continuing
    involvement. This amendment will promote transparency and improve
    understanding of the risk exposures relating to transfers of financial
    assets. Currently Outotec Group does not have such transferred financial
    assets and thus the amendment does not impact on the published information.
  * IAS 12 - Income taxes, Deferred tax. - Deferred tax accounting for
    investment property at fair value (Amendment to IAS 12). The amendment
    introduces an exception to the existing principle for the measurement of
    deferred tax assets or liabilities arising on investment property measured
    at fair value according to IAS 40 (Investment property). Outotec Group does
    not have currently investment properties measured using the fair value model
    in IAS 40 and thus the amendment does not impact on the published
    information.
The following new standards and interpretations have been published, but they
are not effective in 2012, neither has Outotec early adapted them. These changes
are not expected to have material impact on Outotec's figures.

  * IAS 1 - Financial statement presentation. The main change resulting from
    these amendments is a requirement for entities to group items presented in
    'other comprehensive income' (OCI) on the basis of whether they are
    potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently (reclassification
    adjustments). The amendments do not address which items are presented in
    OCI. The standard is not expected to have material impact on Outotec's
    financial statements. Standard will be applied for accounting periods
    beginning on January 1, 2013.
  * IAS 19 - Employee benefits. The amendment will eliminate the corridor
    approach and will recognize all actuarial gains and losses in OCI as they
    occur; to immediately recognize all past service costs; and to replace
    interest cost and expected return on plan assets with a net interest amount
    that is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit
    liability (asset). The standard is not expected to have material impact on
    Outotec's financial statements. Standard will be applied for accounting
    periods beginning on January 1, 2013.
  * IAS 32 - Financial instruments: Presentation. These amendments are to the
    application guidance to the standard and clarify some of the requirements
    for offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities on the balance
    sheet. Outotec estimates the impact of the change and intends to adopt
    changes during the accounting period beginning on or after January 1, 2014.
  * IFRS 9 - Financial instruments. The standard addresses the classification,
    measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities.
    The two parts of the IFRS 9 were issued in November 2009 and October 2010.
    It replaces the parts of IAS 39 that relate to the classification and
    measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9 requires financial assets to be
    classified into two measurement categories: those measured as at fair value
    and those measured at amortized cost. The determination is made at initial
    recognition. The classification depends on the entity's business model for
    managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow
    characteristics of the instrument. The main change regarding the financial
    liabilities is that, in cases where the fair value option is taken for
    financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to an entity's
    own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than the
    income statement, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. Outotec is yet
    to assess IFRS 9's full impact and intends to adopt IFRS 9 wholly no later
    than the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
  * IFRS 10 - Consolidated financial statements. The new standard of
    consolidated financial statements' builds on existing principles by
    identifying the concept of control as the determining factor as to whether
    an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of
    the parent company. The standard provides additional guidance to assist in
    the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. The standard
    is not expected to have material impact on Outotec's financial statements.
    Standard will be applied for accounting periods beginning on January
    1, 2014.
  * IFRS 11 - Joint arrangements. IFRS 11 is a more realistic reflection of
    joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the parties
    to the arrangement rather than its legal form. There are two types of joint
    arrangement: joint operations and joint ventures. Joint operations arise
    where a joint operator has rights to the assets and obligations relating to
    the arrangement and therefore accounts for its share of assets, liabilities,
    revenue and expenses. Joint ventures arise where the joint venturer has
    rights to the net assets of the arrangement and therefore equity accounts
    for its interest. Proportional consolidation of joint ventures is no longer
    allowed. The standard is not expected to have material impact on Outotec's
    financial statements. Standard will be applied for accounting periods
    beginning on January 1, 2014.
  * IFRS 12 - Disclosures of interests in other entities. The standard includes
    the disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities,
    including joint arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and other
    off balance sheet vehicles. Outotec has yet to assess IFRS 12's full impact
    and intends to adopt IFRS 12 no later than the accounting period beginning
    on or after January 1, 2014.
  * IFRS 13 - Fair value measurement. The standard provides a precise definition
    of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure
    requirements for use across IFRSs. The standard is not expected to have
    material impact on Outotec's financial statements. Standard will be applied
    for accounting periods beginning on January 1, 2013.
Use of estimates

IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions which 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 realisability of certain assets, the useful
lives of tangible and intangible assets, income taxes, provisions, pension
obligations and impairment of goodwill. These estimates are based on the
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.
