Wärtsilä recognised EUR 2 million of nonrecurring items related to restructuring measures during the third quarter and a selling profit of EUR 32 million from the divestment of its Sampo Group holding. Wärtsilä recognised EUR 59 million (6) of nonrecurring restructuring items during the review period January-September 2010. OPERATING ENVIRONMENT AND DEMAND DEVELOPMENT SHIP POWER Market recovery continues During the third quarter, new vessel ordering activity continued to recover with more than 100 vessels being ordered per month. By the end of the third quarter, 1,150 vessels have been ordered which is notably more than for the full year 2009. Contracting activity continued to be good in the bulk carrier segment, supported mainly by Chinese ship owners. Backed by the recovery in trade volumes and attractive new building prices a pick-up was seen in the container vessel segment and this development is expected to continue. Some LNG vessel contracts were signed during the quarter after a long silent period. Activity in the offshore segment continued to be strong, and recovery in the more specialised tonnage continues. China continued to strengthen its position in the shipbuilding industry, and for the first time this year China dominated the market both in terms of number of vessels and tonnage (DWT). China’s market share in number of vessels was 49%, Korea’s 30%, Japan’s 7% and Europe’s 5%. During the review period, emerging shipbuilding regions, such as Brazil, Russia and the Philippines secured 9% of all contracts. 2 WÄRTSILÄ CORPORATION - INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-SEPTEMBER 2010 Ship Power market shares Wärtsilä’s share of the medium speed main engine market decreased from 37% (at the end of the previous quarter) to 32%. The market share in low speed engines decreased to 12% (15). In the auxiliary engine market Wärtsilä’s share increased to 3% (1). POWER PLANTS Good activity in the Power Plants market continues The Power Plants market activity continued to be at a good level during the third quarter of 2010 and several large and medium size projects were closed. Industrial output is increasing in most emerging markets, which is driving the need for more power generation. The installed base of wind power generation has also increased which is creating need for additional flexible power generation. The financial crisis led to postponing of investments for power generation in 2009 and this is now creating demand for shorter delivery times in several markets. SERVICES Services’ customers continue to focus on savings Although activity in the marine industry has started to recover and the number of idle vessels has decreased there is still pressure to reduce maintenance costs through postponing overhauls and focusing only on essential repairs. At the same time, marine customers are increasingly looking for optimisation of their assets to reduce both costs and their environmental footprint. Rising fuel prices and overcapacity have spurred containership lines to operate more of their ships at slow speeds. The power plant service market is active, and there is an increased interest in efficiency improvements and the outsourcing of plant operations and management. ORDER INTAKE Strong growth in order intake Wärtsilä’s order intake for the third quarter totalled EUR 1,004 million (725) an increase of 38%. The book-to- bill ratio for the third quarter was 0.97 (0.62). The recovery in Ship Power continued and the order intake for the third quarter totalled EUR 176 million (68), 160% above the corresponding period last year. During the quarter, Wärtsilä noted increased activity in the Offshore segment and secured several offshore orders. Wärtsilä is traditionally well positioned in this segment. Some of the orders featured Dual-Fuel engine technology that enables vessels to run on clean LNG fuel, and in general the orders highlighted the success of Wärtsilä’s strategy to be a systems integrator, ship designer and solution provider. The Offshore segment represented 43% of the total orders, Merchant 33%, Special vessels 18%, and Cruise&Ferry and Ship Design represented 2% and 3% respectively. Compared to the second quarter 2010, order intake fell by 17% (EUR 213 million during the second quarter of 2010). The order intake for Power Plants in the third quarter totalled EUR 393 million (170), which was 131% higher than for the corresponding period last year. During the third quarter, the largest power plant orders were received from the Caribbean, Russia and Bangladesh. Compared to the previous quarter, the Power Plants business order intake decreased by 10% (EUR 437 million in the second quarter of 2010). Order intake for the Services business totalled EUR 433 million (483) in the third quarter, a decrease of 10% from the corresponding period 2009. Compared to the second quarter, order intake fell 7% (EUR 465 million 3 WÄRTSILÄ CORPORATION - INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-SEPTEMBER 2010 in the second quarter of 2010). As an example of the customers’ increased focus on cost savings and reducing their environmental footprint, Wärtsilä signed a turnkey contract with Tarbit Shipping of Sweden to convert a product tanker to LNG propulsion. The conversion of the 25,000 dwt product tanker ‘Bit Viking’ will enable the vessel to qualify for lower emission taxes under the Norwegian government’s fund scheme. The project to convert the ship’s main propulsion to LNG is the first of its kind in the world. In the third quarter, Wärtsilä also signed a landmark contract with the A.P. Moller Maersk Group. The order covers the installation of Wärtsilä Slow Steaming Upgrade Kits to 34 more of the company’s large container vessels. The upgrade kits will lead to fuel savings as well as reduced CO2 emissions. Wärtsilä expects environmental upgrades and conversions to continue. In the power plant service market Wärtsilä signed several important Operations & Management contracts in Brazil during the quarter. Wärtsilä now has O&M agreements for power plants with a combined output of 1,500 MW in the country. Several contracts were also signed in Europe. For the review period January-September 2010, Wärtsilä’s total order intake amounted to EUR 3,002 million (2,468), which represents an increase of 22% compared to the corresponding period 2009. The book-to-bill ratio for the review period was 0.97 (0.66). Ship Power’s order intake was EUR 479 million (262), an increase of 83% from the corresponding period last year.
