Presentation of the VDM business and certain service centers as discontinued
operation 

On November 30, 2013 Outokumpu announced comprehensive measures aimed at
strengthening the company's balance sheet and to divest the Terni remedy
assets, the VDM business and certain service centers to ThyssenKrupp.
Consequently, Outokumpu presents the VDM business and service centers in
Willich, Germany; Barcelona, Spain; Tours, France and Gebze, Turkey as
discontinued operations. These businesses will be reported in the 2013
financial statements separately from the continuing operations according to
IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations standard,
which means that the income statement is restated as of January 1, 2013 and the
statement of financial position is reclassified as of November 30, 2013. 

Finalization of accounting for Inoxum transaction

Outokumpu has finalized the accounting related to the Inoxum transaction in
2012 based on the final valuation of the identifiable asset and liabilities.
Outokumpu had 12 months from the closing of the transaction to retrospectively
adjust the provisional amounts that had been presented in detail in the note 4
of Outokumpu's financial statements 2012. The completion did not materially
change the provisional fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed
and did not have a material impact on the 2013 income statement. 

Adoption of a new definition for net interest bearing debt and gearing

In addition, Outokumpu has decided to change its net interest-bearing debt and
gearing definitions to be more aligned with common market practice. The
calculation of gearing continues to be net interest-bearing debt divided by
equity. The change relates to the net interest-bearing debt definition which
now includes long-term and current debt, less cash and cash equivalents. In the
previous Outokumpu definition, certain investments and receivables, derivative
financial instruments, accrued interests, and assets and liabilities held for
sale were included in the net interest-bearing debt calculation.
