Outokumpu Oyj - Company Announcement

Outokumpu publishes historical financial information for new business areas and updates definitions of certain financial key figures


OUTOKUMPU OYJ
STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE
April 15, 2016 at 4.00 pm EET

Outokumpu has today published restated historical financial information for the
new streamlined business area structure which was announced in connection with
the launch of Outokumpu’s new vision and measures to improve competitiveness
and financial performance of the company. Outokumpu’s first-quarter 2016
financial results will follow the new structure having three business areas:
Europe, Americas and Long Products. Europe and Americas will cover Outokumpu’s
entire flat products offering in these two markets, including all coil and
plate business. The current European Quarto Plate operations and sales network
in APAC will be reported as part of Europe, and the US Quarto Plate business
under Americas. The Long Products operations and financial information remain
unchanged. 

Outokumpu continues to follow underlying EBIT as its main profitability measure
because it best shows the underlying profit drivers and operational performance
of the business. However, following the changes in the European Securities and
Markets Authority’s (ESMA) Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures
related to the definition of non-recurring items, Outokumpu has updated its
definitions of underlying EBITDA and underlying EBIT: material income and
expense items earlier labelled as non-recurring items, such as restructuring
costs, impairments, and gains or losses on sale of assets or businesses, as
well as raw material related inventory gains/losses and metal derivative
gains/losses, are now reported as adjustments. These items affecting
comparability between periods are excluded from underlying EBITDA/EBIT. As the
content of the underlying profitability measures remains unchanged, this has no
effect on the historical group-level figures. 

Outokumpu has also updated definitions for the following financial key figures:
capital employed, operating capital, return on capital employed (ROCE) and
return on equity (ROE). New definitions of capital employed and operating
capital exclude defined benefit and other long-term employee benefit
obligations but include net derivative liabilities (other than interest rate
derivative). Returns will be calculated for four previous quarters on a rolling
basis. Furthermore, Outokumpu will replace net debt to EBITDA with net debt to
underlying EBITDA metric. The updated definitions are aligned with Outokumpu’s
long-term financial targets. 

The following tables include restated historical financial information for the
new business areas for 2014 and 2015 and updated Group financial key figures
and definitions for 2015. Figures are unaudited.
