FUTURE PROSPECTS
Uncertainty in the market is expected to continue making reliable long term
forecasting difficult. Based on currently available information, order intake is
estimated to stabilize especially in Service and Standard Lifting. Heavy Lifting
order intake is expected to continue to fluctuate. The full year 2009 sales are
estimated to be 17-20 percent less than in full year 2008.
The second half-year operating margin is expected to be lower than that of the
first-half of 2009. This is due to lower volumes and certain price erosion
especially in the new equipment business areas. The full year operating margin
is estimated to be 6.5 - 7.5 percent of sales excluding restructuring costs.
Actions to adjust the Group's cost base to the current demand continue. Our
target is to achieve a cost structure that would lower the total annual volume
adjusted operating cost in 2010 by approximately EUR 100 million compared with
year 2008. This cost reduction program includes both procurement development
actions and personnel reductions, but the savings target does not include
potential general material cost deflation.
By the end of June 2009, the Group headcount, including all temporary and rented
work force and excluding increase from ZAO Zaparozhje Kran, has been reduced by
850 from year-end 2008 and it is estimated to decrease by a further 750 during
the latter part of 2009. The current estimate of restructuring costs to be
booked during the second half of 2009 is EUR 15-20 million.

President and CEO Pekka Lundmark:
“The challenging market environment that the material handling industry has been
facing since the latter half of last year, continued through the second quarter
of 2009. Even though there are some differences between various regions in the
world, and between different product segments, one could roughly estimate that
close to half of the global equipment market has disappeared when compared to
the peak year 2008. The services market is also affected by low capacity
utilization within our main customer segments, but to a much lesser extent than
the equipment market. This is an exceptionally tough situation for all the
players, and will most likely lead to certain structural reshaping of our
industry.
Our response consists of three parts. First, we adjust our capacity and cost
structure to the lower demand. We are not relying on fast recovery in demand.
Instead, we intend to have, by the end of the year, a cost base that enables us
to deliver a reasonable financial result also should the current low demand
continue throughout 2010. Second, we continue to invest in R&D and information
systems to further widen the scope of our product and service offering, and to
improve our productivity. And third, we continue to expand to new geographical
territories where we are not yet strongly enough present, while at the same time
staying open for acquisition opportunities.
Our strong balance sheet is a key asset that will allow us to continue to invest
also during the recession. We believe that this strategy will help us to achieve
a further enhanced competitiveness for the time when the market recovers.”
KONECRANES' JANUARY - JUNE 2009 INTERIM REPORT
MARKET REVIEW
In the first half of the year, the economic situation has been weak portraying a
sharp downturn in both the global demand and world trade. On the positive side,
industrial confidence in the euro area, although remaining at a very low level,
increased during the second quarter. In the US, the consumer confidence was
rising sequentially from February until it retreated in June.
Despite these positive signs, capacity utilization rates and industrial
production, which are the most important leading indicators for material
handling, remained at a very low level during the period in the US, the euro
area and all the EU27 countries.
In Konecranes' major customer sectors, investment activity in ports and
shipyards has remained very weak. The general weakness in global demand has also
affected general manufacturing and process industries, where investment activity
especially in steel and mining industries has been very low. Activity in power
generation, such as wind energy, nuclear power and waste-to-energy, remained
more stable.
The impact of the stimulus packages announced for various infrastructure
investments has been visible especially in China, where investment activity has
been notably livelier than in other regions.
In the current difficult market environment, customers are increasingly looking
for ways to cut cost and improve efficiency which has become visible in their
interest towards outsourcing maintenance. The low industrial capacity
utilization rates are, however, negatively affecting the demand for maintenance
services in the short term.
Overall, the competitive environment has become tighter towards the end of the
period, and this has been visible especially in intensifying price pressure.
Input costs, especially for raw materials like steel and for transportation,
continued in general to decrease during the first half of the year.
Note: Unless otherwise stated, the figures in brackets in the sections below
refer to the same period in the previous year.
ORDERS RECEIVED
January-June orders received totaled EUR 679.3 million (1,141.6), representing a
decline of 40.5 percent compared with a year before. Orders received declined in
Service by 23.3 percent, in Standard Lifting by 41.3 percent and in Heavy
Lifting by 50.9 percent. Orders received decreased clearly in all the regions.
In January-June, orders from emerging markets accounted for more than 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.
Second-quarter order intake declined by 46.6 percent from a year ago and totaled
EUR 309.6 million (579.3). Order intake decreased in Service by 26.8, in
Standard Lifting by 42.2 and in Heavy Lifting by 65.8 percent as general
activity in the market was very low.
Regionally, the second quarter order intake decreased most in EMEA and
especially in Heavy Lifting. In Americas the slow demand affected all the
business areas. In APAC the order intake was boosted by some sizeable process
crane orders.
ORDER BOOK
The value of the order book at end June totaled EUR 680.6 million. The order
book decreased by 33.8 percent from a year ago and 14.1 percent from end March.
Service accounted for EUR 93.9 million (14 percent), Standard Lifting for EUR
244.6 million (35 percent) and Heavy Lifting for EUR 357.9 million (51 percent)
of the total end June order book. The total order book corresponds to some 4-5
months of sales.
The level of order cancellations in the first half of the year remained low. A
few postponements have taken place and negotiations are going on regarding
postponements or even cancellations of some important orders with certain
Eastern European customers. The effect of cancellations and postponements on the
year 2009 financial result is currently not expected to be material.
SALES
Group sales in January-June decreased by 6.2 percent from a year ago and totaled
EUR 873.7 million (931.6). Sales in Service decreased by 2.1 percent, in
Standard Lifting by 7.0 percent and in Heavy Lifting by 7.7 percent.
Second-quarter sales declined by 12.4 percent from a year ago and totaled EUR
431.6 million (492.4). Sales decreased in Service by 6.1, in Standard Lifting by
17.5 and in Heavy Lifting by 11.7.
At end June, calculated for a rolling 12 months, the regional breakdown was as
follows: EMEA 57 (57), Americas 28 (30) and APAC 15 (13) percent.

CURRENCY RATE EFFECT
In a year-on-year comparison, the currency rate effect in January-June was
negligible in order intake and slightly positive in sales. The reported order
intake declined by 40.5 percent whereas the corresponding figure at comparable
currency rates was 40.6 percent. Reported sales declined by 6.2 percent and by
7.7 percent at comparable currency rates. Differences between business areas
were negligible.
Of the regions, the currency rate impact on sales in EMEA was negative with the
reported decrease being 8.8 percent compared with a decrease at comparable
currency rates of 5.1 percent. The impact was largest and most favorable in the
Americas region, where reported sales declined 5.7 percent and 15.2 percent at
comparable currency rates. The corresponding figures in APAC were +3.0 percent
and -0.7 percent.
In January-June 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-June totaled EUR 65.6 million
(103.3). Operating profit decreased in total by EUR 37.7 million. Operating
profit includes approximately 2 MEUR restructuring costs booked to the second
quarter. The consolidated operating margin declined to 7.5 percent (11.1). The
operating margin in Service declined to 10.9 percent (13.2) and in Standard
Lifting to 10.3 percent (16.6). In Heavy Lifting, the operating margin rose to
7.9 percent (7.3).
The consolidated operating profit in the second quarter totaled EUR 28.8 million
(58.3) including restructuring costs. The consolidated operating margin in the
second quarter declined to 6.7 percent (11.8). The operating margin in Service
declined to 10.8 percent (13.0) and in Standard Lifting decreased to 8.6 percent
(17.1). In Heavy Lifting, the operating margin was 8.0 percent (8.7).
During the second quarter, the net of lower sales prices and development in
input costs had a negative effect on the Group operating margin.
The share of the result of associated companies and joint ventures was EUR
-1.4 million (0.4).
Net financial expenses totaled EUR 1.4 million (4.8). Net interest expenses
accounted for EUR 1.3 million (2.7) of this. The remainder was mainly
attributable to exchange rate differences related to USD/EUR hedges.
The January-June profit before taxes was EUR 62.8 million (98.9).
Income taxes in January-June were EUR -17.9 million (-27.7). The Group's
effective tax rate was 28.5 percent (28.0).
Net profit for January-June was EUR 44.9 million (71.2).
Diluted earnings per share for January-June were EUR 0.76 (1.20).
On a rolling twelve-month basis, return on capital employed was 42.7 percent
(48.3) and return on equity 40.8 percent (51.0).
Balance Sheet
The consolidated balance sheet, which at end June stood at EUR 1,113.4 million,
was EUR 0.8 million less than at 30 June 2008 and EUR 92.0 million less than at
year-end 2008. Total equity at the end of the report period was EUR 385.4
million (302.0). Total equity attributable to equity holders of the parent
company at 30 June was EUR 382.6 million (300.5) or EUR 6.51 per share (5.11).
From end March 2009, net working capital decreased by EUR 6.2 million to EUR
260.8 million at end June. The decrease in receivables and inventories was able
to compensate for the decrease in advance payments and accounts payable.
Cash Flow and Financing
Net cash from operating activities in January-June was EUR 67.0 million (22.1),
representing EUR 1.13 per diluted share (0.37). Cash flow before financing
activities was EUR 53.3 million (4.0). Cash flow before financing activities in
the second quarter was EUR 25.7 million (-0.4).
Interest-bearing net debt decreased slightly to EUR 35.5 million from EUR 37.8
million at end March. The consolidation of ZAO Zaparozhje Kran in Ukraine at
June 30, 2009 increased the interest-bearing net debt of the Group by
approximately EUR 17.8 million. The solidity was 41.1 percent (33.7) and gearing
9.1 percent (24.4).
The Group's liquidity remained healthy. At the end of the second quarter, cash
and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 96.9 million. None the Group's EUR 200
million committed back-up financing facility was in use at the end of the
period.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

million (9.7). This amount consisted mainly of replacement or capacity expansion
investments in machines, equipment and information technology.
ACQUISITIONS
Capital expenditure on acquisitions was EUR 2.9 million (14.2).
During January-June, Konecranes made four acquisitions, for which the net assets
were recorded at EUR 1.7 million. Goodwill of 1.2 MEUR was booked from the
acquisitions. During the second quarter 2009 Konecranes sold its small Austrian
subsidiary STAHL CraneSystems Ges.m.b.H.
PERSONNEL
The total number of the Group's personnel at year-end 2008, including all
temporary and rented work force, was approximately 10,500. Since that, the
number has been reduced by more than 300 during the first quarter and by 550
during the second quarter. Taking into account the total decrease of 850 persons
and the increase of 386 persons via ZAO Zaparozhje Kran, the total headcount
number including temporary and rented work force was approximately 10,000 at end
June.
In January-June, the Group employed an average of 9,820 people (8,868). At 30
June, the headcount was 9,691 (9,354). At end June, the number of personnel by
Business Area were as follows: Service 5,106 employees (5,132), Standard Lifting

January-June orders received totaled EUR 252.0 million (328.8), showing a
decline of 23.3 percent. Sales decreased by 2.1 percent to EUR 339.2 million
(346.5). Operating profit was EUR 37.0 million (45.7) and the operating margin
10.9 percent (13.2). The January-June operating profit includes about EUR 0.6
million restructuring costs.
The second quarter order intake decreased by 26.8 percent and totaled EUR 126.4
million (172.6). The order intake decreased in all the regions and the low
industrial activity was visible in all service business sectors. Compared with
the first quarter of 2009, the overall order intake was flat. Second-quarter
sales totaled EUR 169.5 million (180.5), which was 6.1 percent less than a year
ago. Second-quarter operating profit was EUR 18.2 million (23.5), and the
operating margin 10.8 percent (13.0). Profitability has been affected negatively
by lower volumes and the change in product mix, with lower sales of parts and
higher labor content.
The annual value of the contract base increased clearly to EUR 124 million from
EUR 115 million a year before, but declined somewhat from EUR 128 at end March.
About half of the decrease comes from the currency rate effect and the other
half is due to some lost contracts. Another factor is that, even though the
number of contract customers continued to increase, some customers are
downsizing the scope of their contracts, in consequence of their decreased
capacity utilization. The total number of equipment included in the maintenance
contract base rose to 373,547 at end June, from 329,964 a year before and from
366,024 at end March, 2009.
The number of service technicians at end June was 3,360.

January-June orders received totaled EUR 273.9 million (467.0), showing a
decline of 41.3 percent. Sales decreased by 7.0 percent to EUR 346.3 million
(372.3). Operating profit was EUR 35.8 million (61.7) and the operating margin
10.3 percent (16.6). The January-June operating profit includes about EUR 0.7
million restructuring costs.
The second quarter order intake fell by 42.2 percent and totaled EUR 141.4
million (244.8). Orders were depressed by the overall weakness of industrial
activity in all the regions. Compared with the first quarter of 2009 the order
intake increased by 6.6 percent, mainly as a result of a few sizeable orders.
The development was most favorable in APAC. Second-quarter sales totaled EUR
168.2 million (203.9) and were 17.5 percent less than a year ago. Second-quarter
operating profit was EUR 14.5 million (34.9), and the operating margin 8.6
percent (17.1). Profitability was negatively affected by intensifying price
competition, decreased component production volumes, and by a less favorable
product mix. The ongoing cost adjustment measures were not able to fully offset
the effect of these factors.
The order book decreased by 36.9 percent from a year before to EUR 244.6 million
(387.8).

January-June orders received totaled EUR 201.5 million (410.5), showing a
decline of 50.9 percent. Sales decreased by 7.7 percent to EUR 257.6 million
(279.0). Operating profit was EUR 20.2 million (20.3) and the operating margin
7.9 percent (7.3). The January-June operating profit includes about EUR 0.6
million restructuring costs.
The second quarter order intake decreased by 65.8 percent and totaled EUR 67.8
million (198.4). Both the port and the process crane sectors were substantially
down in total, although the process crane sector continued to show good activity
in APAC. The order intake was clearly on a lower level than in the first quarter
of 2009, and this was partly due to some sizeable projects that were booked in
the first quarter. Second-quarter sales totaled EUR 127.9 million (144.8) and
were 11.7 percent less than a year ago but almost on the same level as in the
first quarter 2009. Second-quarter operating profit was EUR 10.2 million (12.6),
and the operating margin 8.0 percent (8.7).
The order book decreased by 32.2 percent from a year before to EUR 357.9 million
(528.0).
Group Overheads
Unallocated Group overhead costs in the reporting period were EUR -28.5 million
(-21.7), representing 3.3 percent of sales (2.3). The increase is mainly due to
investments in procurement, information systems and R&D.
SHARE CAPITAL AND SHARES
The company's registered share capital at June 30, 2009 totaled EUR 30.1
million. At 30 June, 2009, the number of shares including treasury shares
totaled 61,831,720. At June 30, 2009, Konecranes held a total of 2,542,600
treasury shares, corresponding to 4.1 percent of the total number of shares and
at that date having a market value of EUR 42.6 million.
SHARES REGISTERED UNDER STOCK OPTION RIGHTS
Pursuant to Konecranes' stock option plans, 219,400 new shares were registered
in the Finnish Trade Register in January-June, of which 92,400 during the second
quarter. As a result of these subscriptions, the total number of Konecranes
shares (including treasury shares) increased to 61,831,720 shares.
The stock options issued under Konecranes Plc's ongoing stock option schemes at
end June entitle holders to subscribe a total of 2,846,100 shares, which would
increase the total number of Konecranes shares (including treasury
shares) to 64,677,820. The option programs include approximately 150 key
persons.
All shares carry one vote per share and equal rights to dividends.
The terms and conditions of the stock option programs are available on
Konecranes' website at www.konecranes.com.
MARKET CAPITALIZATION AND TRADING VOLUME
The closing price for Konecranes Plc's shares on June 30, 2009 was EUR 16.75.
The volume-weighted average share price in January-June was EUR 14.42, the
highest price being EUR 18.44 in May and the lowest EUR 10.61 in January. In
January-June, the trading volume totaled 62 million Konecranes Plc shares,
corresponding to a turnover of approximately EUR 905 million. The average daily
trading volume was 511,663 shares, representing an average daily turnover of EUR
7.4 million.
On June 30, 2009, the total market capitalization of Konecranes Plc's shares was
EUR 1,035.7 million including treasury shares held by the company and EUR 993.1
million excluding the treasury shares.
IMPORTANT EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD
In May, the Konecranes Group's executive management established a company named
KCR Management Oy, whose entire share capital the management owns. As part of
the arrangement, the Board of Directors of Konecranes Plc has resolved to grant
KCR Management Oy an interest-bearing loan of a maximum of approximately MEUR
7.1 to finance the acquisition of the Company's shares. The Board of Directors
sees this as a way to increase management commitment to long term shareholder
value. Shares owned by KCR Management Oy totaled 517,696 at the end of the
period. Konecranes has consolidated KCR Management into the Group's balance
sheet, which has decreased its equity by EUR 7.1 million.
The Group announced in May that it is strengthening its sales management
structure with the establishment of a Market Operations function. Harry Ollila
was appointed in charge of the new function. Market Operations is responsible
for sales management and sales support, global account management, and the
development of solution marketing. Konecranes' regional organizations will
report to Harry Ollila. The new organization will take effect as from September
1, 2009. External reporting of the geographical regions will remain unchanged.
In connection with this, on September 1, 2009, Konecranes will switch to a
two-tiered management structure consisting of the Group Executive Board and the
Extended Management Team. The members of the Group Executive Board are: Pekka
Lundmark, President and CEO, and Chairman of the Group Executive Board; Hannu
Rusanen, Service; Mikko Uhari, Equipment; Harry Ollila, Market Operations; Teo
Ottola, Chief Financial Officer; Pekka Lettijeff, Procurement; and Ari
Kiviniitty, Technology.
The Extended Management Team will in addition to the members of the Group
Executive Board include the Presidents of the regional organizations; Director,
General Counsel; Director, Talent Management and Director, Marketing and
Communications.
As a result of Konecranes increasing its influence in the Ukrainian associated
company ZAO Zaparozhje Kran, it was consolidated at June 30 into Konecranes'
balance sheet. Konecranes currently has a 43.5 percent holding in the company.
The arrangement increased the interest-bearing net debt of the Group by
approximately EUR 17.8 million and decreased equity by EUR 4.6 million. In
January-June, ZAO Zaparozhje Kran had a negative result. The company currently
employs 386 persons, which is 250 less than in the beginning of 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 the development in such issues that could potentially cause
disruptions to its operations or to the well-being of its employees 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 of key
subcontractors and vendors. As of now, no such major risks have materialized.
Continuing financial crises 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
Uncertainty in the market is expected to continue making reliable long term
forecasting difficult. Based on currently available information, order intake is
estimated to stabilize especially in Service and Standard Lifting. Heavy Lifting
order intake is expected to continue to fluctuate. The full year 2009 sales are
estimated to be 17-20 percent less than in full year 2008.
The second half-year operating margin is expected to be lower than that of the
first-half of 2009. This is due to lower volumes and certain price erosion
especially in the new equipment business areas. The full year operating margin
is estimated to be 6.5 - 7.5 percent of sales excluding restructuring costs.
Actions to adjust the Group's cost base to the current demand continue. Our
target is to achieve a cost structure that would lower the total annual volume
adjusted operating cost in 2010 by approximately EUR 100 million compared with
year 2008. This cost reduction program includes both procurement development
actions and personnel reductions, but the savings target does not include
potential general material cost deflation.
By the end of June 2009, the Group headcount, including all temporary and rented
work force and excluding increase from ZAO Zaparozhje Kran, has been reduced by
850 from year-end 2008 and it is estimated to decrease by a further 750 during
the latter part of 2009. The current estimate of restructuring costs to be
booked during the second half of 2009 is EUR 15-20 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.

Leasing contracts follow the normal practices in corresponding countries.
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.
