*Software sales includes Navis business unit and automation software
**Excluding restructuring costs
***Last four quarters' EBITDA

Cargotec's CEO Mika Vehviläinen: Excellent development at Hiab continued

The development of our business continued to be positive during the second
quarter of 2017. The operating profit, excluding restructuring costs, was the
highest in Cargotec's history. The business developed particularly well at Hiab,
where the orders received increased by 17 percent and profitability improved to
a record high level. In Kalmar, the orders received declined compared to last
year. Nevertheless, the customer interest in port automation solutions continued
to be high. Despite the positive development of container throughput, customers
are considering their larger investments carefully. Kalmar's operating profit
continued to improve. The market situation for MacGregor is still difficult,
even though orders received increased compared to the first quarter. We managed
to keep MacGregor's operating profit, excluding restructuring costs, positive
also during the second quarter.

We are especially pleased with the development of our software business during
the second quarter. Our software sales grew strongly during the quarter. We also
defined a broader software strategy for Navis, part of Kalmar, during the first
half of the year. The strategy offers a more comprehensive set of solutions to
optimise the performance of terminals and carriers. Our cloud-based
collaboration model will add transparency, efficiency and profitability to the
network of ocean carriers, terminal operators and logistics providers.

We are continuing to increase our efficiency as planned. During the second
quarter, we announced that we are targeting EUR 50 million savings from 2020
onwards by reducing indirect purchasing spend, streamlining business support
processes and establishing Cargotec Business Services operations.
