FUTURE PROSPECTS
We expect the prevailing uncertainty to continue, with no credible signs of
market recovery visible. Based on currently available information, we expect the
demand for maintenance services to remain stable. We expect the demand for
standard lifting equipment to continue on a low level, resulting in continued
margin pressure. We expect the demand for heavy lifting equipment to remain low
in general, with a high degree of fluctuation between quarters.
We still estimate the 2009 full year sales to be 17-20 percent lower than the
level of full year 2008. However, the current information indicates the actual
sales decrease to be close to the upper end of that range. Our full year
operating margin estimate is unchanged at 6.5 - 7.5 percent of sales, excluding
restructuring costs. Also the full year 2009 restructuring cost estimate is
unchanged at EUR 17 - 22 million.

President and CEO Pekka Lundmark:
“The weak market environment continued throughout the third quarter but a
certain stabilization has occurred. In spite of the rising general optimism in
the world, it is too early to call a recovery in our sector. It is hard to say
how much the positive developments in certain leading industrial confidence
indicators are driven by restocking and to what extent there might be a genuine
growth in the underlying demand behind the numbers. Due to this uncertainty, it
would not be prudent to count on a fast recovery in demand when planning our
cost base. Instead, we are streamlining our structure throughout the company.
Our relatively good margin before restructuring costs in the third quarter, in
spite of declining sales, shows that our efforts to lower our operational cost
base are bringing results.
The most positive element in our third quarter result is the cash flow. We are
now debt free, and actually have a net cash position of EUR 14.9 million. This
means that we will be able to continue our ongoing investments in product
development, manufacturing productivity and information systems. We are also
continuing our expansion strategy in the emerging markets. The acquisition of
SANMA in China is a concrete example of this.”
KONECRANES' JANUARY - SEPTEMBER 2009 INTERIM REPORT
MARKET REVIEW
Although some of the leading indicators, such as capacity utilization rates,
industrial production and business confidence showed signs of stabilization or
even slight recovery in the US and Europe during the report period, the demand
for material handling equipment and services has not yet shown any material
signs of growth in these main markets.
Among Konecranes' major customer sectors, investments in ports and shipyards
have in general remained very weak, and most of the activity has taken place in
the emerging markets. The overall weakness in global demand also continued in
the general manufacturing and process industries, although there has been some
news about increasing activity in these sectors during the past few months.
Activity in power generation, such as wind energy, nuclear power and
waste-to-energy, has remained more stable. There have not been meaningful
differences in customer behavior regionally, the only exception being China
where there has been more investment activity than in other regions.
Customers are increasingly looking for ways to cut costs and to improve
efficiency, and this has shown as an interest in outsourcing their maintenance
even in the current difficult market environment. However, in the short term the
low industrial capacity utilization rates have meant less maintenance to be
performed.
The difficult market conditions have resulted in overcapacity, which has led to
an increasing pressure on prices.
Input costs, especially for raw materials like steel and for transportation,
continued to trend down during the first half of the year. In the third quarter
cost levels stabilized.
Note: Unless otherwise stated, the figures in brackets in the sections below
refer to the same period in the previous year.
ORDERS RECEIVED
January-September orders received totaled EUR 987.7 million (1,657.5),
representing a decline of 40.4 percent compared with a year before. Orders
received declined in Service by 24.5 percent, in Standard Lifting by 43.7
percent and in Heavy Lifting by 48.4 percent. Orders received decreased in all
the regions.
In January-September, orders from emerging markets accounted for one third of
total orders. In 2008 the share of emerging markets of all orders was slightly
more than 30 percent on an annual level.
Third-quarter order intake declined by 40.2 percent from a year ago and totaled
EUR 308.5 million (515.9). Order intake decreased in Service by 26.8, in
Standard Lifting by 48.6 and in Heavy Lifting by 42.1 percent, as overall
activity in the market was very low. In general, the new equipment business is
suffering more than services but some single orders may have an impact on the
quarterly performance.
ORDER BOOK
The value of the order book at end September totaled EUR 638.4 million. The
order book decreased by 40.1 percent from a year ago and 6.2 percent from end
June. Service accounted for EUR 88.1 million (14 percent), Standard Lifting for
EUR 217.3 million (33 percent) and Heavy Lifting for EUR 347.4 million (53
percent) of the total end September order book.
The level of order cancellations remained low. A few orders have been postponed
and negotiations are going on regarding the postponement or even cancellation of
some orders with certain customers. Cancellations and postponements are
currently not expected to have a material impact on the year 2009 financial
result.
SALES
Group sales in January-September decreased by 14.4 percent from their level a
year ago and totaled EUR 1,242.4 million (1,452.1). Sales in Service decreased
by 6.9 percent, in Standard Lifting by 14.6 percent and in Heavy Lifting by 20.3
percent.
Third-quarter sales declined by 29.2 percent from a year ago and totaled EUR
368.7 million (520.4). Sales decreased in Service by 15.8, in Standard Lifting
by 28.3 and in Heavy Lifting by 42.3.
At end September, calculated on a rolling 12 months basis, the regional
breakdown was as follows: EMEA 56 (57), Americas 29 (29) and APAC 15 (14)
percent.

CURRENCY RATE EFFECT
In a year-on-year comparison, the currency rates did not have a meaningful
effect on orders or sales in January-September. The reported order intake
declined by 40.4 percent whereas the corresponding figure at comparable currency
rates was 40.0 percent. Reported sales declined by 14.4 percent and by 15.2
percent at comparable currency rates. Service and Standard Lifting business
areas benefited slightly from currency effects.
Of the regions, the currency rate impact on sales in EMEA was negative with the
reported decrease being 17.3 percent compared with a decrease at comparable
currency rates of 13.8 percent. The impact was largest and most favorable in the
Americas region, where reported sales declined 11.5 percent and 19.4 percent at
comparable currency rates. The corresponding figures in APAC were -8.8 percent
and -11.7 percent.
In January-September the currency rates did not have any significant impact on
the Group's operating margin compared with the same period a year earlier.
FINANCIAL RESULT
The consolidated operating profit in January-September totaled EUR 75.8 million
(172.3), decreasing in total by EUR 96.5 million. The operating profit includes
restructuring costs of EUR 15.8 million. The consolidated operating margin
declined to 6.1 percent (11.9). The operating margin in Service declined to 10.7
percent (13.6), in Standard Lifting to 7.8 percent (17.2) and in Heavy Lifting
to 6.2 percent (7.9).
The consolidated operating profit in the third quarter totaled EUR 10.2 million
(69.0), including restructuring costs of EUR 13.9 million. The consolidated
operating margin in the third quarter declined to 2.8 percent (13.3). The
operating margin in Service declined to 10.1 percent (14.5), in Standard Lifting
to 1.7 percent (18.4) and in Heavy Lifting to 1.8 percent (9.0).
During the third quarter, the net of lower sales prices and development in input
costs had a negative effect on the Group operating margin compared with a year
before.
The share of the result of associated companies and joint ventures was EUR
-2.1 million (-0.4).
Net financial expenses totaled EUR 3.7 million (9.4). Net interest expenses
accounted for EUR 2.0 million (3.5) of this. The remainder was mainly
attributable to exchange rate differences related to USD/EUR hedges and
revaluation of financial assets and liabilities as a result of currency changes.
The January-September profit before taxes was EUR 70.0 million (162.4).
Income taxes in January-September were EUR -20.9 million (-45.8). The Group's
estimated effective tax rate was 29.8 percent (28.2). The actual effective tax
rate for the year 2008 was 29.5 percent.
Net profit for January-September was EUR 49.1 million (116.6).
Diluted earnings per share for January-September were EUR 0.84 (1.97).
On a rolling twelve-month basis, return on capital employed was 32.7 percent
(52.3) and return on equity 26.7 percent (49.6).
Balance Sheet
The consolidated balance sheet, which at end September stood at EUR 1,048.4
million, was EUR 131.5 million less than at 30 September 2008 and EUR 65.0
million less than at end June, 2009. Total equity at the end of the report
period was EUR 389.1 million (354.6). Total equity attributable to equity
holders of the parent company at 30 September was EUR 387.1 million (353.0) or
EUR 6.59 per share (6.00).
From end June 2009, net working capital decreased by EUR 49.7 million to EUR
211.1 million at end September. The decrease in receivables and inventories more
than compensated for the decrease in advance payments.
Cash Flow and Financing
Net cash from operating activities in January-September was EUR 133.2 million
(73.6), representing EUR 2.25 per diluted share (1.24). Cash flow before
financing activities was EUR 110.3 million (45.8). Cash flow before financing
activities in the third quarter was EUR 57.0 million (41.8). Cash was released
from inventories and short-term receivables.
Due to good working capital management, interest-bearing net debt was EUR -14.9
million, compared to EUR 35.5 million at end June. Solidity was 43.7 percent
(38.0) and gearing -3.8 percent (8.8).
The Group's liquidity remained healthy. At the end of the third quarter, cash
and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 88.5 million. None of the Group's EUR 200
million committed back-up financing facility was in use at the end of the
period.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
January-September capital expenditure excluding acquisitions amounted to EUR
13.9 million (18.8). This amount consisted mainly of replacement or capacity
expansion investments in machines, equipment and information technology.
ACQUISITIONS
Capital expenditure on acquisitions was EUR 11.2 million (16.4). During
January-September, Konecranes made six acquisitions, and sold one minor
operation in Austria. From the acquisitions net assets were recorded at EUR 5.0
million and they increased goodwill by 6.2 MEUR. Four of the acquisitions
related to machine tools service. In the third quarter, Konecranes moved into a
new business segment by making two acquisitions for load-handling solutions with
aluminum rail systems and manipulators.
PERSONNEL
The total number of the Group's personnel, including temporary and rented
workforce, at end September was approximately 9,750. This takes into account the
cumulative reduction of approximately 1,200 persons and the increase in
personnel through acquisitions since year-end 2008. The total number of
personnel reductions in the third quarter was approximately 370.
In January-September, the Group employed an average of 9,720 people (9,051),
excluding rented and short term temporary workforce. At 30 September, the
headcount was 9,419 (9,602). At end September, the number of personnel by
Business Area was as follows: Service 4,930 employees (5,261), Standard Lifting
2,544 employees (2,669), Heavy Lifting 1,659 employees (1,393) and Group staff
286 (279). The Group had 5,646 employees (5,522) working in EMEA, 2,298 (2,569)
in the Americas and 1,475 (1,511) in the APAC region.

January-September orders received totaled EUR 376.5 million (498.9), showing a
decline of 24.5 percent. Sales decreased by 6.9 percent to EUR 496.8 million
(533.7). Operating profit before restructuring costs of EUR 1.2 million was EUR
54.1 million (72.8) and the operating margin 10.9 percent (13.6). Operating
profit after restructuring costs was EUR 52.9 million, 10.7 percent of sales.
The third quarter order intake decreased by 26.8 percent and totaled EUR 124.5
million (170.1). The order intake decreased in all the regions and the low
industrial activity was visible in all service business sectors. In sequential
quarters, the order intake in Service has been stable. Third-quarter sales
totaled EUR 157.6 million (187.2) and were 15.8 percent less than a year ago.
Third-quarter operating profit before EUR 0.5 million restructuring costs was
EUR 16.4 million (27.1), and the operating margin 10.4 percent (14.5). Although
the business area has been successfully defending prices, profitability has been
affected negatively by lower volumes and the change in product mix, with lower
sales of parts and higher labor content. Operating profit after restructuring
costs was EUR 15.9 million and 10.1 percent of sales.
The annual value of the contract base was flat at EUR 123 million compared with
122 MEUR a year ago and 124 MEUR at end June. The EUR 1 million decrease from
end June was mainly due to currency effects. The total number of items of
equipment included in the maintenance contract base decreased to 370,549 at end
September from 375,605 a year before and from 373,547 at end June, 2009.
Due to the lower order intake, the number of service technicians has been
reduced by 125 since end June and stood at 3,235 at end September.

January-September orders received totaled EUR 388.6 million (690.1), showing a
decline of 43.7 percent. Sales decreased by 14.6 percent to EUR 494.6 million
(579.0). Operating profit before restructuring costs of EUR 12.4 million was EUR
50.8 million (99.8) and the operating margin 10.3 percent (17.2). Operating
profit after restructuring costs was EUR 38.4 million and 7.8 percent of sales.
The third quarter order intake fell by 48.6 percent and totaled EUR 114.7
million (223.1). Orders were depressed by the overall weakness of industrial
activity in all the regions. Compared with the second quarter of 2009 the order
intake decreased by 19 percent. The continuing low demand was emphasized by the
even lower than usual figures for the summer months. Due to the structural over
capacity in the industry, price competition has also intensified. The Standard
Lifting business area has defended its prices, which in certain markets led to
lower than anticipated volumes. Third-quarter sales totaled EUR 148.3 million
(206.7) and were 28.3 percent less than a year ago. Third-quarter operating
profit before EUR 11.7 million restructuring costs was EUR 14.3 million (38.1),
and the operating margin 9.6 percent (18.4). Profitability was negatively
affected by intensifying price competition and by a less favorable product mix.
Operating profit after restructuring costs was EUR 2.6 million and 1.7 percent
of sales.
The order book decreased by 48.1 percent from a year before to EUR 217.3 million
(418.2).

January-September orders received totaled EUR 293.7 million (569.6), showing a
decline of 48.4 percent. Sales decreased by 20.3 percent to EUR 350.3 million
(439.6). Operating profit before restructuring costs of EUR 2.2 million was EUR
24.1 million (34.8) and the operating margin 6.9 percent (7.9). Operating profit
after restructuring costs was EUR 21.9 million and 6.2 percent of sales.
The third quarter order intake decreased by 42.1 percent and totaled EUR 92.2
million (159.1). Significant fluctuations continued between the quarters and the
order intake increased clearly from the second quarter. The order intake for the
process crane sector has stabilized, but on a rather low level. The port sector
booked some sizeable projects during the third quarter. Third-quarter sales
totaled EUR 92.7 million (160.5) and were 42.3 percent less than a year ago.
Third-quarter operating profit before EUR 1.6 million restructuring costs was
EUR 3.3 million (14.5), and the operating margin 3.5 percent (9.0).
Profitability was negatively affected by substantially lower volumes especially
in the ports business unit. High-quality project execution has helped to
maintain good profitability in the process cranes unit year-on-year. Operating
profit after restructuring costs was EUR 1.6 million and 1.8 percent of sales.
The order book decreased by 34.7 percent from a year before to EUR 347.4 million
(531.7).
Group Overheads
Unallocated Group overhead costs in the reporting period were EUR -40.0 million
(-31.4), representing 3.2 percent of sales (2.1). The increase is mainly due to
investments in procurement, information systems and R&D.

The EGM authorized the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of shares as
well as the issuance of special rights entitling to shares. The amount of shares
to be issued based on this authorization shall not exceed 12,000,000 shares,
which corresponds to approximately 19.4 % of all the shares in the Company. The
authorization is effective until the end of the next Annual General Meeting,
however no longer than until 11 September 2010.
The EGM authorized the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase and/or on
the acceptance as pledge of the company's own shares. The amount of own shares
to be repurchased and/or accepted as pledge shall not exceed 6,000,000 shares in
total, which corresponds to approximately 9.7 % of all the shares in the
Company. However, the Company together with its subsidiaries may not at any
moment own and/or hold as pledge more than 10 per cent of all the shares in the
Company. Only the unrestricted equity of the Company can be used to repurchase

FLAGGING NOTIFICATIONS
In September, Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company informed Konecranes
that their holding in Konecranes had fallen below 5 percent. The total number of
shares owned by Ilmarinen was 3,176,689 on September 18, 2009, or 4.92 percent
of Konecranes' shares.
COST REDUCTION PROGRAM
The EUR 100 million cost reduction program is proceeding according to plan.
During the report period several measures were taken.
In January-September, the total number of personnel has been reduced by
approximately 1,200, with approximately 370 of these during the third quarter.
The personnel reductions for the full year 2009 are estimated to total at
approximately 1,600. Personnel reductions are being achieved through
rationalization and efficiency improvement measures across the company. As part
of the program, the Group has announced planned closures of the crane
manufacturing sites in Ettlingen, Germany and Loughborough, UK, and has decided
to discontinue certain products. The Group procurement development program is
also proceeding according to the plan. A global category management has been
established, and the consolidation of suppliers is lowering our cost.
All in all, the program is proceeding as planned and is expected to achieve the
targeted EUR 100 million savings during 2010. EUR 15.8 million restructuring
costs were booked in January-September, with EUR 13.9 million of this in the
third quarter. The current estimate for restructuring costs is unchanged at EUR
17 - 22 million for the full year 2009.
SHORT-TERM RISKS
The Group's principal short-term risks and uncertainties derive from a prolonged
downturn in the world economy or other unforeseen events. A decrease in demand
for Konecranes' products and services may have a continuing negative effect on
the Group's sales volume and pricing power, and thus result in decreasing
profits and a possible impairment of goodwill and other assets. Konecranes is
closely following developments in issues that could potentially cause
disruptions to its operations, including risks to the health of its workforce,
and is preparing to take action if needed.
The shortage of credit may cause difficulties to Konecranes' customers,
suppliers, and financial and other counterparties. The risk may be realized as
credit losses, inventory obsolescence, a shortage of supplies or defaulting
liabilities. So the Group has paid special attention to securing customer
payments and requiring strict terms for possible postponements by customers.
Increased attention is also being paid to the financial status and business
continuity of key subcontractors and vendors. As of now, no such major risks
have materialized.
The continuing financial crisis may also lead to challenges in securing
liquidity. Although Konecranes has not faced difficulties in financing its
business operations, the Group aims to keep more cash in the balance sheet than
normally. Konecranes is supported by its solid financial position and strong
balance sheet in securing its liquidity.
Challenges in financing may lead customers to postpone projects or even to
cancel existing orders. Currently the financial stringency has mainly been
visible in prolonged decision making times. As of now, no major cancellations
have occurred and advance payments represent about one fourth of the order book.
However, if longer postponements and potential cancellations of some important
projects actually occur, this may deteriorate the quality of the order book and
cause losses. Konecranes is paying increased attention to order book quality and
the status of orders is being continuously monitored.
Currency rate fluctuations may significantly affect the company's performance.
The USD/EUR exchange rate has the largest impact on financial performance
through a combination of the translational effect and transactional exposure.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
We expect the prevailing uncertainty to continue, with no credible signs of
market recovery visible. Based on currently available information, we expect the
demand for maintenance services to remain stable. We expect the demand for
standard lifting equipment to continue on a low level, resulting in continued
margin pressure. We expect the demand for heavy lifting equipment to remain low
in general, with a high degree of fluctuation between quarters.
We still estimate the 2009 full year sales to be 17-20 percent lower than the
level of full year 2008. However, the current information indicates the actual
sales decrease to be close to the upper end of that range. Our full year
operating margin estimate is unchanged at 6.5 - 7.5 percent of sales, excluding
restructuring costs. Also the full year 2009 restructuring cost estimate is
unchanged at EUR 17 - 22 million.

Summary Financial Statements and Notes
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The presented financial information is prepared in accordance with International
Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU.
As of January 1, 2009 Konecranes applied two new or amended standards: IFRS 8,
Operating Segments and IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements - Revised.
IFRS 8 replaces the IAS 14, Segment Reporting standard. In accordance with IFRS
8, the identification of operating segments is based on management reporting.
The new standard did not change the present Segment reporting, because the
Business Segments specified according to internal reporting are nowadays the
Group's primary form of managerial reporting. IAS 1 change impacted primarily to
the presentation of the statement of income and the statement of changes in
equity. Otherwise Konecranes applies the same accounting policies as were
applied in the year 2008 annual financial statements.
The figures presented in the tables above have been rounded to one decimal,
which should be taken into account when reading the sum figures.
The interim report has not been subject to audit.

Contingent liabilities relating to litigations
Various legal actions, claims and other proceedings are pending against the
Group in various countries. These actions, claims and other proceedings are
typical for this industry and consistent with a global business offering that
encompasses a wide range of products and services. These matters involve
contractual disputes, warranty claims, product liability (including design
defects, manufacturing defects, failure to warn and asbestos legacy),
employment, vehicles and other matters involving claims of general liability.
While the final outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty
Konecranes is of the opinion, based on the information available to date and
considering the grounds presented for such claims, available insurance coverage
and the reserves made, that the outcome of such actions, claims and other
proceedings, if unfavorable, would not have a material, adverse impact on the
financial condition of the Group.
