Changes in reporting Industrial Equipment’s order intake and net sales with an impact on Industrial Equipment’s reported profitability

 

Konecranes has decided to make changes in reporting Industrial Equipment’s orders received and net sales, which will also impact Industrial Equipment’s profitability. 

 

Some of Port Solutions’ key components are manufactured at Konecranes’ Industrial Equipment factory in Hyvinkää. As these internal orders from Port Solutions have increased in recent years, Konecranes has decided to report the Hyvinkää factory’s orders and sales without booking internal transactions between the two Business Segments. The change will enhance transparency of financial reporting.

 

Starting from Q1 2024, Industrial Equipment’s orders received at Konecranes’ Hyvinkää factory do not include internal orders received from Konecranes’ Port Solutions. Accordingly, Industrial Equipment’s sales do not include Hyvinkää factory’s internal sales to Port Solutions. This change does not impact Industrial Equipment’s operating profit, but it will have an impact on reported profitability as the reporting of net sales changes. The change does not affect Port Solutions’ or Konecranes’ consolidated Group figures.

 

As a result of the change, Konecranes has restated Industrial Equipment’s figures for 2023.

 

The restated Industrial Equipment’s figures for 2023 are the following:
