INTERIM REPORT JANUARY - MARCH 2009



Wärtsilä Corporation INTERIM REPORT 24 April 2009 at 8.30 local time

NET SALES GREW 46% - STRONG PROFITABILITY

FIRST-QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

- Net sales grew 46% to EUR 1,241 million (850)
- Operating result (EBIT) grew 60% to EUR 130 million, or 10.5% of
net sales (EUR 81 million and 9.6%)
- Cash flow from operating activities totalled EUR 23 million (75)
- Earnings per share amounted to 0.89 (0.49)
- Order intake fell 51% to EUR 958 million (1,936)
- Materialised order cancellations totalled EUR 51 million during the
first quarter

OLE JOHANSSON, PRESIDENT AND CEO:"The first quarter of 2009 was strong for Wärtsilä. All businesses
developed favourably and Wärtsilä's total net sales grew by 46%.
Operating result grew very strongly by 60% to EUR 130 million, the
EBIT margin being 10.5%. In the Ship Power markets, conditions
remained unchanged and ship owner activity was mainly related to the
rebalancing of capacity to demand and led to further cancellations
and postponements in the market. For Wärtsilä cancellations of EUR 51
million materialised during the review period and Wärtsilä sees a
potential cancellation risk of approximately EUR 1,000 million. In
the Power Plants market activity remained strong. Services continued
its stable development but the slowdown in the marine industry has
led to shorter visibility in the marine service market. Despite the
risk of cancellations and the uncertainty in the market, Wärtsilä's
prospects for 2009 remain unchanged."

WÄRTSILÄ'S PROSPECTS FOR 2009 REITERATED
Despite the risk of cancellations, the substantial order book at the
end of the year should support a 10-20 percent growth in net sales
for 2009, which would maintain the profitability at last year's good
level.

MARKET DEVELOPMENT

SHIP POWER
The standstill in the ordering of new ships that started during the
autumn of 2008 continued during the first quarter of 2009. The very
few new big vessel orders that were registered were placed with
Korean and Chinese yards. With the current market fundamentals, there
remains very little reason to expect new vessel ordering to pick up.
The market has moved from earlier fears of under supply, to the
reality of over capacity in most major vessel segments, with
container vessels and bulk carriers being affected the most. Due to
the world short-term economic outlook, many existing vessel orders
have become unattractive for vessel owners and operators. By
contrast, shipyards are trying to hold on to the orders to secure
their record long order books. Second hand market prices for
practically new vessels have become very appealing, which is also
hampering new orders.

More cancellations and rescheduling of existing orders have occurred
during the review period and it is expected that markets will
continue to reach for balance by cancelling and reorganising orders.
The reduction of existing fleet capacity through temporary lay-ups,
scrapping and slow steaming is also being carried out.

Ship Power market shares
During the review period Wärtsilä's share of the medium speed main
engine market decreased slightly from 37% (at the end of the previous
quarter) to 35%. Wärtsilä's market share in low-speed engines
decreased to 13% (15). In auxiliary engines the market share
decreased to 6% (8).

POWER PLANTS
Inquiries for new power plants remained at a high level during the
first quarter. Market activity was good with customers showing
continued interest in new flexible capacity. However, the impact of
the financial crisis is showing through a slower conclusion of
projects mainly due to difficulties in securing financing.
Independent Power Producers (IPP) are facing challenges in closing
financing packages, which has delayed projects. Industrial
self-generation is so far the most affected market with many projects
postponed due to uncertainty in the market, or through lack of e.g.
demand for minerals.

SERVICES
The imbalance between vessel capacity and vessel demand in the
shipping industry has led to ship owners making adjustments, such as
reducing the operating frequency of some vessels and laying-up parts
of their fleets. The slowdown has led to some reductions in
maintenance volumes and demand for spare parts, but the impact on
Wärtsilä's services for the marine industry has so far been limited.
The service market for power plants continues strong and power plants
are in active operation. Furthermore, there is demand for various
Services projects, such as fuel conversions for power plants.

Wärtsilä's installed engine base in the Ship Power and Power Plant
markets totals 162,000 MW and consists of thousands of installations
distributed throughout the world. Both end markets consist of several
customer segments for Services, and Wärtsilä's portfolio is the
broadest in the market. These factors limit the impacts of
fluctuations in any individual market or customer segment.

ORDER INTAKE AND ORDER BOOK
The order intake for the review period totalled EUR 958 million
(1,936), representing a deterioration of 51% compared to the
corresponding period last year. In relation to the previous quarter
Wärtsilä's total order intake grew 16% (EUR 823 million in the fourth
quarter of 2008).

Wärtsilä Ship Power's order intake totalled EUR 127 million (758), a
decrease of 83% compared to the very high corresponding period.
Compared to the previous quarter Ship Power's order intake fell 16%
(EUR 152 million in the fourth quarter of 2008). Orders for the first
quarter of 2009 were mainly booked in the Offshore and Merchant
segments. The Offshore segment accounted for 34%, Merchant 30%
Cruise&ferry 18%, Navy 8% and Special vessels and Ship design 5%
respectively of Ship Power's total order intake.

The first quarter order intake for the Power Plant business totalled
EUR 321 million (566), which was 43% lower than the all-time high
order intake in the corresponding period last year. The main reasons
for this drop lie in the timing of large projects as well as in the
impact of the financial crisis. Compared to the previous quarter the
Power Plant business order intake grew 22% (EUR 263 million in the
fourth quarter of 2008). The largest oil-fired power plants were sold
to Pakistan, Greece and Cyprus. The latest 200 MW Pakistani order is
the fourth major power project sold by Wärtsilä to Pakistan in the
last two years. Pakistan is expected to offer interesting
opportunities in the future as well. The largest gas-fired plants
were sold to Brazil and to the Dominican Republic. The large gas
power plant order received from Brazil marks an important milestone
for Wärtsilä as it is Wärtsilä's first major gas power project in the
country. With the increased availability of gas in Brazil, the gas
power plant market for Wärtsilä is expected to grow.

Services order intake for the period January-March 2009 was strong
and amounted to EUR 507 million (611), a reduction of 17% compared to
the all-time high corresponding period of 2008. In relation to the
previous quarter Services order intake grew 24% (EUR 410 million in
the fourth quarter of 2008). During the review period, Services
received contracts from three Brazilian Independent Power Producers
(IPPs) to provide conversions for their generating stations. The
conversions will enable them to attain fuel flexibility and switch
from heavy fuel oil (HFO) to gas operation. These combined plant
conversions represent the biggest project of its kind ever undertaken
by Wärtsilä Services.

The total order book at the end of the review period stood at EUR
6,477 (7,219). At the end of the review period, the Ship Power order
book stood at EUR 4,127 million (4,810), a decrease of 14%. During
the period cancellations of EUR 51 million materialised and have been
deducted from the order book. The cancellations were mainly
concentrated within the Merchant and Special vessel segments.
Wärtsilä sees a potential cancellation risk of approximately EUR
1,000 million. The Power Plants order book stood at EUR 1,829 million
(1,822). The Services order book totalled EUR 521 million (588).

RISKS AND BUSINESS UNCERTAINTIES
Due to the uncertainty in the shipping industry the main risks in
Ship Power remain the slippage of ship yard delivery schedules, as
well as the risk of cancellation of existing orders. Wärtsilä Ship
Power sees a potential cancellation risk of approximately EUR 1,000
million.

Though the fundamentals in the Power Plants business remain
unchanged, the current financial crisis has some effect on the timing
of orders. The actual impact of the financial crisis is still small,
but the possible effect on orders in the pipeline is difficult to
predict. The financing of many future projects appears secure, and
there is an increased level of activity from utilities and
governmentally funded power producers.

For Services, the biggest risks relate to a further deterioration of
the underlying shipping industry leading to larger scale lay-ups of
ships, which could reduce demand for maintenance and services in this
segment. Currently the bulker and container ship segments are the
most affected.

Wärtsilä monitors the stability of its supplier base in the
perspective of the worldwide economic crisis and currently there are
no significant risks related to this.

Wärtsilä holds adequate credit lines to maintain liquidity in the
current business environment.

The annual report for 2008 contains a thorough description of
Wärtsilä's risks and risk management.

MARKET OUTLOOK
With the exception of China and India, all the leading economies have
negative GDP development this year, which implies that trade and
demand for transportation and energy are declining. As a consequence,
the outlook for shipping and shipbuilding is quite dismal at the
moment. Ship owners continue laying up capacity in an attempt to
re-balance the market. Managing existing fleets, and attempts to
digest the existing orders on hand, are the shipping industry's main
focus points today. For the offshore industry there would be market
rationale to continue exploration and production investments, but the
current financial crisis is effectively hindering progress in such
projects.

During 2009 there will not be any major changes in the new ordering
outlook for the major merchant vessel types, such as container
vessels, bulk carriers and tankers. Much will, however, depend on the
general sentiments in the economy, as certain owners, having
benefited from the recent shipping boom, are still financially very
sound. If prices for new vessels and concrete signs of a recovering
economy converge, it might have a positive effect on the launch of
new projects. In the Offshore segment the recovery of the market
depends on oil price development as well as on the easing of
financing. New orders will most probably be placed for more
specialised tonnage where over capacity is not a problem. National
stimulus packages benefit mainly governmental projects, such as the
Navy sector.

The demand in the Power Plants market remains at a good level. The
fundamental global need for a more flexible, efficient and
environmentally friendly power generation mix remains and continues
to position Wärtsilä well for the future. The quest for increased
efficiency and better energy security through fuel versatility and
flexibility are trends that clearly work in Wärtsilä's favour. The
flexible baseload segment is forecasted to remain active throughout
the Middle East, Africa and the Americas. Increased interest for grid
stability and peaking solutions throughout the developed world can be
seen, whereas the industrial self-generation segment shows lower
activity. Power Plants ordering activity is expected to remain at a
good, albeit lumpy level.

Services continues its stable development, but due to the uncertainty
of the marine industry, visibility has become shorter.

WÄRTSILÄ'S PROSPECTS FOR 2009 REITERATED
Despite the risk of cancellations, the substantial order book should
support a 10-20 percent growth in net sales for 2009, which would
maintain the profitability at last year's good level.

WÄRTSILÄ INTERIM REPORT JANUARY - MARCH 2009
This interim financial report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34
(Interim Financial Reporting) using the same accounting policies and
methods of computation as in the annual financial statements for
2008. All figures in the accounts have been rounded and consequently
the sum of individual figures can deviate from the presented sum
figure.

Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
valuation of the reported assets and liabilities and other
information, such as contingent liabilities and the recognition of
income and expenses in the income statement. Although the estimates
are based on the management's best knowledge of current
events and actions, actual results may differ from the estimates.

Of the amended International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and
interpretations mandatory as of 1 January 2009 the following are
applicable on the Group reporting:
-          IFRS 8 Operating Segments
-          IAS 23 Borrowing Cost
-          IAS 1 Presentation of financial Statement
-          IFRIC 16 Hedges of Net Investment in a foreign Operation
The adaption of the revised standards and interpretations does not
have any material effect on the interim report.

Wärtsilä's business
Wärtsilä provides and delivers power solutions for the marine and
energy markets. Wärtsilä offers its customers product concepts,
products, maintenance and spare parts based on engine technology and
applied to different circumstances. Customer service that spans the
life of the delivered equipment is an integral part of business. The
service is the same regardless of the equipment's purpose of use.

Internal management reporting is used to monitor the development of
operations on the basis of market-based business areas. Reporting
serves goal setting and budget control and is thus a management tool
rather than an actual external economic indicator.

Wärtsilä's highest operative decision maker (CODM, Chief Operating
Decision Maker according to IFRS 8) is the Group President with the
support of the Board of Management and, in some cases, the Board of
Directors. The Group President assesses the Group's financial
position and its development as a whole, not based on the results of
the business areas. As the Group's level of integration is high, the
reported indicators from business areas do not give a true picture of
the business areas' financial position and development. It is also
considered that they are of limited value to an external reader due
to poor comparability, for example.

Against this background, Wärtsilä's business cannot be divided into
separate operative segments with individual reporting.
