Cargotec - Half Year financial report

Cargotec's Interim Report for January-June 2008


Cargotec Corporation, Stock Exchange Release, July 17, 2008 at 12:00
p.m. Finnish time

* Orders received during the first half of 2008 totalled EUR 2,168
    (1,864) million. During the second quarter, orders received were
    EUR 1,013 (949) million.
  * The order book continued to strengthen, reaching EUR 3,360
    (December 31, 2007: 2,865) million.
  * Sales for the first half grew by 13 percent, amounting to EUR
    1,627 (1,437) million with services sales representing 25 (25)
    percent of total sales. Sales for the second quarter were EUR 901
    (743) million.
  * Operating profit for the first half rose to EUR 107.3 (104.3)
    million with EUR 63.1 (46.3) million attributable to the second
    quarter. Operating margin for January-June was 6.6 (7.3) percent
    and 7.0 (6.2) for the second quarter.
  * Cash flow from operating activities before financial items and
    taxes totalled EUR 94.7 (83.4) million.
  * Net income for the first half amounted to EUR 70.1 (74.9)
    million.
  * Earnings per share for the first half were EUR 1.11 (1.17).
  * The number of personnel totalled 12,097 (December 31, 2007:
    11,187) at the end of June.

*          Cargotec continues to expect full year sales growth in
  2008 to be at the previous year's growth level as a result of the
  strong order intake and record-high order book. Kalmar and
  MacGREGOR profitability is estimated to develop positively in line
  with earlier expectations. However, the uncertainty on the European
  market outlook for Hiab has considerably increased. Cargotec's 2008
  operating margin is still estimated to improve from previous year's
  7.3 percent, but the uncertainty in Hiab's outlook and costs of the
  accelerated On the Move change programme are expected to result in
  the operating margin remaining below 8 percent.

Cargotec's President and CEO Mikael Mäkinen:"Cargotec's development proceeded during the second quarter of 2008
according to plans. I am especially pleased with the achievements in
our new product development in the field of energy efficiency, an
example being hybrid container handling equipment. We have an
ambitious growth target for this year and we are well in line with
the plans. The recent news on the European economy and specifically
construction market gives us reason for caution regarding Hiab's
outlook, although so far order intake has been satisfactory. We will
accelerate the On the Move change programme and the development of
our global supply footprint."

Operating Environment

The markets for load handling equipment continued to be strong in
Central and Northern Europe but slackened in other Western European
countries. With respect to Southern Europe, demand was clearly below
2007 levels in Spain and Italy due to the decline in construction
industry. The competitive environment in Europe tightened as a result
of the mixed market environment. In Asia Pacific, growth remained
healthy, with the exception of Japan. In the United States, demand
for load handling equipment continued to be weak and there are still
no signs of improvement.

The markets for container handling equipment were lively. In Europe
and Asia, the market situation remained unchanged and demand was
high. In the United States the activity level was healthy with,
however, some signs of increased caution in investment decisions. The
market for reach stackers and rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes were
especially active. Port operators' interest in automation is
increasing as evidenced by more activity in tendering.

The markets for marine cargo flow systems and offshore solutions
continued to be extremely lively. Demand for ship cranes, hatch
covers and cargo securing systems continued to be high, reflecting
strong demand for equipment to bulk carriers and general cargo
vessels. Orders for marine cargo flow solutions reflect new ship
orders with a lag. The gradual decrease in new ship orders is
expected to reduce order intake for marine cargo flow systems during
the second half of the year. Demand for offshore solutions continued
lively, and ship owners were especially interested in investing in
Active Heave Compensation (AHC) equipment.

Demand for services remained favourable. Demand for services for load
handling equipment was strong in Europe due to higher levels of
installed equipment and high usage rates whereas, in the United
States, demand was weak due to the very low usage rate of such
equipment. Demand for container handling equipment services remained
strong both in Europe and Asia. Several new orders for marine cargo
flow services were also secured. In particular, demand for conversion
projects grew.

Orders Received

Orders received by Cargotec in the first half of the year totalled
EUR 2,168 (1,864) million. The value of orders secured during the
second quarter was EUR 1,013 (949) million.


Orders received, MEUR     1-6/2008   1-6/2007   1-12/2007

Total                        2,168      1,864       4,106



Hiab

Of total orders received in January-June 2008, Hiab accounted for EUR
467 (508) million while its share of orders received in April-June
was EUR 238 (244) million. Orders received in the US during the
second quarter were clearly lower compared to the previous year.

Hiab secured a large number of individual orders, which is typical of
its operations. Strong demand for demountable systems continued, Hiab
booking an order for 90 of such units to be delivered to the United
Kingdom's Ministry of Defence. Furthermore, Hiab will deliver
demountables and deep waste collection units to the Olympic Village
in Beijing, China. Demand for forestry cranes also remained high.

Kalmar

Of total orders received in January-June, Kalmar accounted for EUR
853 (760) million while its share of orders received in April-June
was EUR 363 (367) million. A major part of the big orders received
will be delivered in 2009. Several orders include navigation,
container position verification and remote monitoring systems
developed by Kalmar.

In June, Kalmar received an order for 30 terminal tractors, seven
E-One+ rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTG) and five reachstackers from
Sociedad Portuaria Regional de Cartagena (SPRC) of Colombia. The

The smaller equipment is scheduled to be on-site by November, and the
RTGs will be operational by May of 2009.

In May, Kalmar received an order for 30 straddle carriers from
Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) of South Africa. The machines will be
delivered to TPT's container terminal in the Port of Durban starting
in July 2008 with the final units arriving in January 2009.

In March, Kalmar received an order for 48 EDRIVE® straddle carriers
for Eurogate's operations in Germany. 22 units have been ordered for
Eurogate's CTB Bremerhaven container terminal, and 13 units will go
to Eurogate's CTH Hamburg. Another 13 units will be deployed at the
MSC Gate Bremerhaven terminal, a joint venture between Eurogate and
Mediterranean Shipping Company. Equipment deliveries will start in
autumn 2008 with the last units arriving at the beginning of 2009. In
addition, Kalmar secured a contract with Steveco Oy for ten Kalmar
EDRIVE® straddle carriers for the Mussalo container terminal in
Kotka, Finland. Delivery will commence in the summer and end in
October 2008.

During the first quarter, Kalmar received E-One+ RTG orders from, for
example, Vietnam, Thailand, Brazil and Morocco. Kalmar will deliver
17 of these cranes to Vietnam International Container Terminals' Ho
Chi Minh City facility between 2008 and 2010. LCMT Company Ltd. from
Thailand ordered six RTGs for its terminal at the Port of Laem
Chabang. The cranes are due to be delivered by March 2009. South
America's largest container terminal operator, Santos Brasil S/A,
ordered 12 RTGs that will be delivered by March 2009. Furthermore,
Somaport operating in the port of Casablanca in Morocco ordered ten
RTGs that will be delivered in early 2009.

In February, Kalmar received an order for 22 E-One+ rubber-tyred
gantry cranes (RTGs) from South African Transnet Limited. The
equipment will be delivered in 2008-2009 for the new Port of Ngqura.
In February, Kalmar also secured an order from the Port of Tacoma on
the US West Coast for the supply of seven straddle carriers. These
will be used in container handling in on-dock rail facilities and
will be equipped with Kalmar's monitoring system, speeding up their
operation. Delivery of the machines is scheduled for October 2008.


MacGREGOR

Of total orders received during the reporting period, MacGREGOR
accounted for EUR 854 (597) million while its share of orders
received in April-June was EUR 415 (338) million.

During the second quarter, MacGREGOR obtained extensive hatch cover
and RoRo equipment orders, mainly from Korea and Japan. The hatch
cover orders are for a big number of container and bulk vessels to be
delivered in 2009-2012. The RoRo equipment orders include the design
and manufacture of RoRo equipment as well as liftable car decks for
four deep-sea ConRos (vessels carrying both container and RoRo
cargo). The equipment will be delivered in 2010-2011.

In June, MacGREGOR signed a contract to supply self-loading and
unloading cement handling systems for three cement carriers.
Deliveries of the systems will start during summer 2009.

In May, the Offshore division received a crane order from the
US-based Edison Chouest Offshore, its third within 18 months. The
cranes will be delivered by the first quarter of 2009. Furthermore, a
large number of orders were received, in particular for davits, for
delivery during 2008-2009. MacGREGOR Offshore is the world's leading
supplier of sophisticated davit systems.

During the first quarter, MacGREGOR received a large number of ship
crane and hatch cover orders, mainly from China and Korea. MacGREGOR
will deliver a total of 276 bulk handling cranes for vessels that
will be delivered to ship owners in Germany, Singapore, China and
Korea. MacGREGOR also agreed to deliver hatch covers for 70 container
vessels, 120 bulk vessels and 41 general cargo ships. The equipment
will be delivered in 2009-2011.

In March, MacGREGOR received a major bulk handling equipment order
from Taiwan Power Company for equipment to handle of coal.
MacGREGOR's Siwertell bulk handling system features a totally closed
conveying system that limits the amount of cargo dust released into
the air.

In March, MacGREGOR also received an order for 30 shipsets of tanker
cranes for a Chinese shipyard. Provision and hose handling cranes
will be delivered in 2008-2010 for tankers ordered by Turkish,
Norwegian, Russian and Cypriot ship owners.

In January, MacGREGOR received RoRo equipment orders for 12 pure
car/truck carriers (PCTCs). The orders include liftable car decks for
four vessels that will be built in the Korean Hyundai Heavy
Industries shipyard and will be delivered during 2009-2010.
Additionally, the orders include the design and delivery of key
components for eight PCTCs under construction in China.

Cargotec Services

The services market continued to be active, which was reflected in
the number of maintenance and modernisation contracts as well as
spare part orders received.

In May, a five-year operation and maintenance contract for RTGs and
reachstackers was signed with Arshiya International in Mumbai, India
and a three-year leasing and full maintenance contract for
reachstackers in the port of Gothenburg, Sweden.

Additional contracts include a five-year full service maintenance
contract on four ship-to-shore cranes that will be operated in port
of Vuosaari, Finland. Another contract in the same port covers
maintenance on straddle carriers, terminal tractors and
reachstackers.

In March, a five-year service contract was signed with the Norwegian
company, Norsteve Oslo, covering the maintenance, spare parts and
repairs of five straddle carriers at the Sjursøya container terminal
in the Port of Oslo.

During the first half of 2008, several conversion projects were
secured that will be carried out during 2008-2009. May contracts
include one for the supply of electrically driven hoistable car decks
for Finnlines' two RoRo vessels as well as a contract for conversion
of control systems on a vessel. Demand for hatch covers in
conversions is supported by legislation prohibiting the use of single
hull tankers, which leads to many of them being converted into
bulkers. During the period a major maintenance contract for ship
unloaders was received from the Philippines.

Order Book

Cargotec's order book totalled EUR 3,360 (December 31, 2007: 2,865)
million on June 30, 2008. Of the order book, Hiab accounted for EUR
238 (260) million, Kalmar EUR 790 (660) million, and MacGREGOR EUR
2,334 (1,946) million. An estimated 80 percent of MacGREGOR's order
book will be delivered by the end of 2010.


Order book, MEUR    30.6.2008   30.6.2007   31.12.2007
Hiab                      238         238          260
Kalmar                    790         693          660
MacGREGOR               2,334       1,314        1,946
Internal order book        -2           0           -1
Total                   3,360       2,244        2,865


Sales

Cargotec's sales grew by 13 percent in the first half of the year and
totalled EUR 1,627 (1,437) million. Organic growth was 9 percent.

Sales for the second quarter were EUR 901 (743) million. Hiab's sales
amounted to EUR 253 (245) million, Kalmar's sales were EUR 396 (330)
million and MacGREGOR's sales EUR 254 (169) million.

Second quarter sales grew in all business areas from the first
quarter level due to increased delivery volumes, which reflects the
strong order book. There were slight delays in MacGREGOR's offshore
deliveries during the first half of 2008 due to the large number of
orders as well as the tight timetables of shipyards. However,
offshore delivery volumes are expected to pick up in the second half
of the year.


Sales, MEUR    1-6/2008   1-6/2007   1-12/2007
Hiab                483        485         931
Kalmar              717        653       1,343
MacGREGOR           431        300         748
Internal sales       -4         -1          -4
Total             1,627      1,437       3,018


Sales for services in January-June 2008 increased by 15 percent
year-on-year and amounted to EUR 414 (359) million, representing 25
(25) percent of total sales. This growth was boosted by strong demand
for spare parts and maintenance agreements. Services accounted for 22
(17) percent of sales at Hiab, 29 (30) percent at Kalmar, and 22 (28)
percent at MacGREGOR.

Financial Result

Cargotec's operating profit for January-June 2008 totalled EUR 107.3
(104.3) million, representing 6.6 (7.3) percent of sales. The
operating profit includes a EUR 3.1 (2.4) million cost impact from
the purchase price allocation treatment of acquisitions and EUR 3
million costs from the On the Move change programme. Kalmar's first
quarter result was weakened by a EUR 4 million project cost
provision.

Operating profit for the second quarter was EUR 63.1 (46.3) million,
equal to 7.0 (6.2) percent of sales. Hiab accounted for EUR 18.5
(16.6) million of second quarter operating profit, Kalmar for EUR
32.3 (24.1) million, and MacGREGOR for EUR 21.9 (11.3) million.

Both Kalmar and MacGREGOR second quarter profitability improved
clearly from the first quarter level following increased delivery
volumes and a more balanced product mix. Hiab's margin declined.
Increases in raw material and component prices are more difficult to
push through to end-product prices.

Net income for January-June was EUR 70.1 (74.9) million and earnings
per share were EUR 1.11 (1.17).

Balance Sheet, Financing and Cash Flow

On June 30, 2008, Cargotec's net working capital amounted to EUR 298
(December 31, 2007: 253) million. The amount of capital employed in
components and unfinished products increased due to increased stock
levels aimed at ensuring availability. Tangible assets on the balance
sheet were EUR 266 (254) million and intangible assets EUR 778 (751)
million.

Cash flow from operating activities before financial items and taxes
for January-June 2008 was EUR 94.7 (83.4) million. The dividend
payment in January-June totalled EUR 65.7 (64.1) million and
acquisitions amounted to EUR 34.2 (163.6) million. Net debt was EUR
370 (December 31, 2007: 304) million. The total equity/total assets
ratio was 36.9 (38.3) percent while gearing increased to 41.0 (33.9)
percent.

Cargotec's financing structure is healthy. Interest-bearing debt
consists mainly of long-term corporate bonds maturing from the year
2011 onwards. On June 30, 2008, Cargotec had EUR 635 million of
unused credit facilities.

Return on equity for January-June was EUR 15.6 (17.0) percent and
return on capital employed was 15.7 (17.7) percent.

New Products and Product Development

In January-June 2008, Cargotec's research and product development
expenditure was EUR 22.8 (23.1) million, representing 1.4 (1.6)
percent of sales.

Cargotec opened in April an engineering centre in Pune, India to have
engineering resources in emerging markets to support product
development that better responds to local needs. The engineering
centre has been established as a resource pool for Cargotec R&D
centres around the world. It covers various engineering activities
from drafting to structural analysis as well as software engineering.
The size of the operation is planned to be over 50 persons by the end
of the year.

Hiab introduced a new automatic load covering system to be used with
demountable units when transporting waste and recycling materials.

During the first quarter, Hiab opened a state-of-the-art
crane-testing centre at its loader crane production facility in
Hudiksvall, Sweden. The centre offers Hiab and other business areas
the opportunity to test more and longer cranes and components as well
as ensuring testing is more precise than ever before.

In May, Kalmar launched the Pro Future(TM) concept encompassing all
of its environmentally friendly equipment. The equipment will be
rated against five ecological decision-making drivers: source of
power, energy efficiency, emissions, noise pollution and
recyclability.

During the second quarter, Kalmar introduced two Pro Future(TM)
solutions: an AC electrical forklift truck for empty container
handling and a hybrid straddle carrier. The hybrid straddle carrier
is the market's first self-charging carrier which, thanks to its
speed control, energy storage and recycling technology, enables fuel
savings and carbon dioxide emission cuts of up to 25-30 percent
compared to standard straddle carriers.

During the first quarter, Kalmar launched a new, fully-automated
shuttle carrier that is able to pick, place and transport containers
between ship-to-shore (STS) and yard stacking cranes without a
driver. The new Kalmar Autoshuttle(TM) ensures the cost efficiency
and productivity of port operations, particularly in the very big
ports of the future.

MacGREGOR continued to develop electronically operated cargo handling
solutions and a new ship crane control system. The Offshore division
focused on the development of deck equipment enabling the use of
cranes in difficult weather conditions and when operating in deep
waters.

In February, MacGREGOR signed an agreement with the US Navy on the
development of a ship-to-ship vehicle transfer system. With the help
of this system, large vehicles can be transferred from a ship to
another in motion. The prototype of the system will be delivered by
the end of 2009.

Capital Expenditure

Cargotec's capital expenditure for January-June 2008, excluding
acquisitions and customer financing, totalled EUR 29.1 (20.7)
million. Customer financing investments were EUR 20.2 (15.4) million.

In April, Cargotec formed a subsidiary, Cargotec Port Security, to
develop enhanced container security solutions. Cargotec has been
exploring and investing in the area of radiation detection in
container security for the past two years. It has entered into an
exclusive global technical licensing agreement with US-based
Innovative American Technology, and field testing of spreader-mounted
radiation detection has started.

During the second quarter, Hiab initiated the extension of a tail
lift production plant in Oborniki, Poland. The project will be
completed during 2008. In Korea, Hiab is investing in a new painting
line at the loader cranes production unit. Another project was
finalised in Raisio, Finland, resulting in a major increase in the
production capacity of a demountable systems plant due to the
implementation of a more competitive production process.

During the second quarter, Kalmar started to expand its production
facility for rough-terrain container handling equipment in Cibolo,
Texas, USA as well as initiated an expansion of capacity in Ipoh,
Malaysia for container spreaders. Investments in first quarter
include expanding presence in the Americas by opening a new sales
company in Mexico as well as a new service unit in Zeebrugge,
Belgium.

In March, MacGREGOR opened a new offshore equipment production unit
in Tianjin, China, approximately half of its production being
delivered to various parts of China. The new unit also enables
production optimisation and efficiency improvements in the Offshore
production units of Norway and Singapore. Part of offshore cranes
production has been moved from Norway to Singapore to give room for
increased production of bigger size cranes in Norway. The additional
capacity provided by the own investments as well as investments made
by MacGREGOR's partners play an important role in the major increase
in deliveries planned for this year.

On the Move change programme

In January, Cargotec announced the launch of an extensive On the Move
change programme aiming at a profitability improvement of EUR 80-100
million. The change programme aims to form a basis for profitable
growth through improved customer focus and efficiency. The projects
in the first phase have focused on streamlining support functions and
company structure as well as initiating IT projects that improve
efficiency. The country structure streamlining started in Finland has
been expanded to several countries during the spring. In Finland and
Sweden all operations will be transferred to one company per country
at the year-end. These projects are, due to an accelerated timetable,
expected to incur costs of approximately EUR 10 million in 2008,
which is clearly more than expected in the beginning of the year.

Going forward the focus will be on developing the global supply
footprint closer to customers as well as towards lower cost
environments.

The first joint supply chain projects proceeded during the spring in
China and Estonia. The decision to double the production capacity in
Shanghai, China was made. The expansion will include moving Hiab's
assembly unit to the same site as the existing Kalmar facility. The
capacity and productivity of the production unit in Narva, Estonia,
acquired in 2007, are being upgraded in order to meet increased
component needs. Investments initiated so far to expand Cargotec's
global supply footprint are expected to amount to close to EUR 50
million for 2008.

Acquisitions

During the first half of 2008, Cargotec completed six acquisitions of
which four were in Hiab's business area.

In order to strengthen its R&D capabilities, Cargotec acquired 60
percent of Idea Designing & Consulting S.r.l. in Massa, Italy. The
company employs ten people for product design.

In June, Hiab concluded an agreement to acquire the business of a
long-term distributor for tail lifts in New Zealand. In addition to
tail lift sales, the business comprises installation, repairs,
maintenance and spare parts sales.

At the end of March, Hiab concluded an agreement to acquire the
operations of the South African company Bowman Cranes (Pty) Limited,
Hiab's long-term agent in the region. This company supplies, installs
and services truck-related load handling equipment. In 2007, its
turnover was approximately EUR 18 million and it employs 70 people.
The acquisition was finalised at the end of June.

In February, Hiab signed an agreement to acquire 70 percent of the
operations of an Australian company, O'Leary's Material Handling
Services Pty Ltd., the leading supplier of tail lifts in Western
Australia. The company employs 24 people and had sales of
approximately EUR 2.6 million in 2007.

In February, Hiab also agreed to acquire UK-based Del Equipment (UK)
Limited and US-based Ultron Lift Corp. Both of these companies
manufacture tail lifts. The aggregate sales of the companies in 2007
were approximately EUR 23 million and the companies employ 164
persons.

In April, MacGREGOR signed an agreement to acquire US-based Platform
Crane Service, Inc (PCS). The sales of the company in 2007 were USD
16 million and the company employs 105 persons. The acquisition was
closed in May.

Employees

On June 30, 2008, Cargotec employed 12,097 (June 30, 2007: 10,962)
people, the year-on-year increase being attributable to the
acquisitions concluded in second half of 2007 and 2008. Hiab employed
4,685 (4,483) people, Kalmar 4,737 (4,341), and MacGREGOR 2,527
(2,066). In anticipation of slackening demand, Hiab is preparing to
implement production adjustment measures in its loader crane plants
in Europe and truck-mounted forklift plant in the United States.

Of Cargotec's total employees, 14 (14) percent were located in
Finland, 20 (22) percent in Sweden and 30 (30) percent in the rest of
Europe. North and South American personnel represented 11 (12)
percent, Asia Pacific 23 (21) percent and the rest of the world 2 (1)
percent of total employees.

Decisions Taken at Cargotec Corporation's Annual General Meeting

Cargotec Corporation's Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on
February 29, 2008 in Helsinki. The meeting approved the financial
statements and consolidated financial statements as well as granted
discharge from liability to the President and CEO and the members of
the Board of Directors for the accounting period January 1-December
31, 2007.

The AGM approved a dividend of EUR 1.04 for each of the 9,526,089
class A shares and EUR 1.05 for the 52,789,559 outstanding class B
shares.

The number of members of the Board of Directors was confirmed at six
according to the proposal of the Board's Nomination and Compensation
Committee. Henrik Ehrnrooth, Tapio Hakakari, Ilkka Herlin, Peter
Immonen, Karri Kaitue and Antti Lagerroos were elected as members of
the Board of Directors.

Authorised public accountants Johan Kronberg and
PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy were re-elected as auditors according to
the proposal of Audit Committee of Cargotec's Board of Directors.

In addition, the AGM resolved to amend the Articles of Association
mainly due to and to align with the new Finnish Companies Act
effective as from 2006.

Authorisations Granted by the Annual General Meeting

The AGM authorised the Board of Directors of Cargotec to decide on
acquisition of the Company's own shares with non-restricted equity.
The shares may be acquired in order to develop the capital structure
of the Company, finance or carry out possible acquisitions, implement
share-based incentive plans, or to be transferred for other purposes
or to be cancelled. The shares may be acquired through a directed
acquisition as defined in Finnish Companies Act, Chapter 15 § 6.

Altogether no more than 6,400,000 own shares may be purchased, of
which no more than 952,000 are class A shares and 5,448,000 are class
B shares. The above-mentioned amounts include the 1,904,725 class B
shares in the Company's possession on the AGM date, which were
purchased during 2005-2007. The proposed amount corresponds to less
than 10 percent of the share capital of the Company and the total
voting rights. The acquisition of own shares will decrease the
non-restricted equity. The authorisation is in effect for a period of
18 months from the date of decision of the AGM.

In addition, the AGM authorised the Board of Directors to decide on
transfer of treasury shares. The Board of Directors was authorised to
decide to whom and in which order the treasury shares will be
transferred. The Board of Directors may decide on the transfer of
treasury shares otherwise than in proportion to the existing
pre-emptive right of shareholders to purchase the Company's own
shares. The treasury shares may be used as compensation in
acquisitions and in other arrangements as well as to implement the
Company's share-based incentive plans in the manner and to the extent
decided by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has also
the right to decide on the transfer of the shares in public trading
at the OMX Nordic Exchange, Helsinki to be used as compensation in
possible acquisitions. This authorisation is in effect for a period
of 18 months from the date of decision of the AGM.

Organisation of the Board of Directors

Cargotec's Board of Directors in its organising meeting elected Ilkka
Herlin to continue as Chairman of the Board and Henrik Ehrnrooth to
continue as Deputy Chairman. Cargotec's Deputy CEO Kari Heinistö
continues to act as secretary to the Board of Directors. Cargotec's
Board of Directors decided that the Audit Committee, Nomination and
Compensation Committee as well as Working Committee continue to
assist the Board in its work.

The Board of Directors elected among its members Ilkka Herlin, Karri
Kaitue and Antti Lagerroos as members of the Audit Committee. Karri
Kaitue was re-elected as Chairman of the Audit Committee. Board
members Henrik Ehrnrooth, Tapio Hakakari, Ilkka Herlin and Peter
Immonen were elected to the Nomination and Compensation Committee.
Ilkka Herlin was re-elected as chairman of the Nomination and
Compensation Committee. Board members Tapio Hakakari, Ilkka Herlin
and Peter Immonen were elected to the Working Committee. Ilkka Herlin
was re-elected as chairman of the Working Committee.

Share Repurchases

Cargotec's Board of Directors decided to exercise the authorisation
of the AGM to acquire the Company's own shares.

In accordance with the authorisation the shares will be acquired in
order to develop the capital structure of the Company, finance or
carry out possible acquisitions, implement share-based incentive
plans, or to be transferred for other purposes or to be cancelled.

Class B shares will be purchased at public trading in the OMX Nordic
Exchange Helsinki at the market price. Class A shares will be
purchased outside the Stock Exchange at the price equivalent to the
average price of class B shares paid in the OMX Nordic Exchange
Helsinki on the purchase date.

A total of 86,000 own shares were repurchased following the AGM and
until end of June 2008 at an average price of EUR 26.25. Cargotec
held a total of 1,990,725 class B shares on June 30, 2008.

Short-term Risks and Uncertainties

The global economic development is affected by significant
uncertainty, which increases short-term risks. Cargotec considers
that its principal short-term risks and uncertainties are related to
general economic development and the availability and price
development of raw materials and components.

Accelerating inflation, high oil price and increasing financing costs
in addition to the decline of the US economy may negatively affect
the investment propensity of Cargotec's customers throughout the
world. There is an increased risk of European economy and especially
the construction sector slowing. So far, the weak US economy has been
visible in low demand for Hiab products. There is, however, an
increased risk for cautiousness spreading into general investment
activity, which could affect demand for other Cargotec equipment.

Cargotec has outsourced a significant proportion of its component
production and part of its assembly operations. Due to generally high
demand for many of the components used by Cargotec, their
availability remains restricted, thus making it more difficult to
optimise assembly plant operations and causing a risk of extra costs
and delivery delays. Furthermore, there have been significant
increases in raw material and component prices during the first half
of the year with a continued pressure for additional price increases.

Outlook

Cargotec continues to expect full year sales growth in 2008 to be at
the previous year's growth level as a result of the strong order
intake and record-high order book. Kalmar and MacGREGOR profitability
is estimated to develop positively in line with earlier expectations.
However, the uncertainty on the European market outlook for Hiab has
considerably increased. Cargotec's 2008 operating margin is still
estimated to improve from previous year's 7.3 percent, but the
uncertainty in Hiab's outlook and costs of the accelerated On the
Move change programme are expected to result in the operating margin
remaining below 8 percent.

Acquisitions 2008

During the first half of 2008 Cargotec made six acquisitions of which
four in Hiab's business area.

In February, in order to strengthen its R&D capabilities, Cargotec
acquired 60 percent of Idea Design & Consulting
S.r.l., Italy. The accounting of this business combination also
includes the minority share, which include a
redemption obligation. The acquisition was finalised in February.

In February, Hiab made an agreement to acquire the UK-based Del
Equipment (UK) Limited and the US-based
Ultron Lift Corp. These companies manufacture tail lifts in the UK
and the US. The acquisitions were finalised at
the end of March.

In February, Hiab signed also an agreement to acquire 70 percent of
the operations of an Australian company,
O'Leary's Material Handling Services Pty Ltd., the leading supplier
of tail lifts in Western Australia.  The
acquisition was closed in April.

At the end of March, Hiab concluded an agreement to acquire the
majority of the operations of the South African

and services truck-related load handling
equipment. The acquisition was finalised in June.

In April, MacGREGOR signed an agreement to acquire US-based Platform
Crane Service, Inc (PCS). The

million, if the acquisitions had been completed on January 1, 2008.

2008. The business combinations were
accounted as preliminary as the determination of fair values to be

The business combinations of Hydramarine AS, Indital Construction
Machinery Ltd, Bay Equipment Repairs Inc and Balti ES were accounted
as preliminary at the end of 2007, as the determination of fair
values was still unfinished. The accounting of these acquisitions has
been finalised during the review period. It had no impact on the
previous year's comparison figures.


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 2007. All figures presented have been rounded and
consequently the sum of individual figures may deviate from the
presented sum figure.

Adoption of new interpretation starting in January 1, 2008

Starting from January 1, 2008 Cargotec has adopted the following new
interpretation by the IASB published in 2007:

- IFRIC 14, IAS 19 - The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum
Funding Requirements and their interaction.

The adoption of the interpretation does not have a material effect on
the interim financial statements.
