------------------------------------------------------------------------------- President and CEO Pertti Korhonen:"The market environment in the minerals and metals processing industry has deteriorated in the third quarter due to increased uncertainty of China's growth outlook, weakened metal prices, and weakening of emerging market economies. Continued uncertainty has caused many producers to cut production and postpone investments further. Markets in Europe and the Middle East were more active, while those in Asia Pacific, Africa, Eurasia, and the Americas continued slow. Predominantly, investments were directed to improve the efficiency of existing operations. In the reporting period, investments into zinc, copper, and aluminum projects were more active, while gold and iron ore investments continued to be weak. Good production rates supported demand for spare parts. Our customers, however, continued to postpone discretionary upgrades and modernizations. Competition continued on an intense level. The demand for sustainable energy solutions increased in some geographical markets as governments seek to promote waste-to-energy production. In the third quarter, Outotec won several waste-to-energy projects in the UK and Canada, demonstrating the competitiveness of our technology. Our service orders in the third quarter grew 21% in comparable currencies as we were able to grow shut-down as well as operation and maintenance orders. The total order intake was flat year-on-year due to weaker capex market. Sales in the third quarter were down by 2% in comparable currencies. Our service sales grew 4% in comparable currencies. Despite the lower sales, EBITA (excluding one- time items) improved, thanks to better project execution and a higher share of services. While the company's fixed cost reduction program has progressed according to plan, the market has deteriorated more than expected, which has caused customer delays in certain projects, resulting to underutilization of resources. This combined with currency impacts, IPR related litigation costs, and acquisitions has resulted to increased fixed costs. Our net cash flow improved significantly in the third quarter. The market outlook continues to be weak due to depressed metal prices and postponements of investments in the mining and metals sector. However, Outotec has good sales opportunities relating to certain commodities, geographies, and customers as well as waste-to-energy solutions. In anticipation of prolonged market weakness, we continue looking for areas to further streamline our cost structure and improve our profitability. Our priority going forward, in addition to improving our profitability, is to secure order intake and increase service business in a difficult market."
