INTERIM REPORT JANUARY - SEPTEMBER 2017

Sales and profitability improved, recovery of Metals, Energy & Water still
pending

"The minerals and metals processing market is slowly improving. Our order intake
in the reporting period increased by 16% and service orders by 10% from last
year. The third quarter order intake, however, was lower than last year due to
the timing of larger orders. Smaller equipment and service orders continued to
increase. Our total sales and service sales increased year on year. In the third
quarter, sales grew by 10% and service sales by 13%. Our profitability improved
significantly, due to increased sales and reduced fixed costs.

Minerals Processing improved its sales and profitability, and the segment's
adjusted EBIT margin reached 10.4% in the third quarter. The Metals, Energy &
Water result improved but remained negative. We are continuing to take action to
make this segment profitable again. We recently announced our plans to outsource
part of the segment's engineering activities, which will bring workforce
flexibility.

The demand for most metals is expected to continue strong, and we see many
attractive business opportunities. We will continue to further strengthen our
capabilities in serving our customers and our large installed base. The timing
of large plant orders is, however, still difficult to foresee," summarizes
President & CEO Markku Teräsvasara.
