Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
Review by the Board of Directors for 2011

REVIEW BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
FOR 2011

A year of restructuring

Following a volatile 2010, demand for stainless steel began to improve somewhat from the beginning of 2011.
Recovery was supported by increasing metal prices and restocking by distributors, but turned into destocking when
metal prices began to decline in the spring. Demand weakened further after the summer period, and remained soft
for the remainder of the year, primarily as a result of increasing global economic uncertainty.

Mr Mika Seitovirta was appointed as Outokumpu’s new CEO in the spring of 2011. After he joined the Group, a short-
term agenda to improve cash flow, strengthen Outokumpu’s balance sheet and address the most critical factors
burdening profitability was launched. Actions were taken to cut costs, divest non-core assets, restructure loss-making
units and secure reserves of liquidity.

Group sales for the whole of 2011 was up by 18% and totalled EUR 5 009 million (2010: EUR 4 229 million) and
stainless steel deliveries totalled 1 391 000 tonnes, an increase of 6% compared to deliveries in 2010. The Group’s
underlying operational result was EUR -66 million (2010: EUR -91 million) and operating loss totalled EUR 260 million
(2010: EUR -83 million). The Group’s cash flow improved clearly from 2010 and was strong. Net cash from operating
activities totalled EUR 338 million (2010: EUR -497 million). Return on capital employed in 2011 was -6.5% (2010:
-2.1%) and gearing was 82.5% (2010: 77.3%). Earnings per share totalled EUR -0.99 (2010: EUR -0.68). The Board
of Directors will be proposing to the 2012 Annual General Meeting that no dividend be paid for 2011 (2010: EUR
0.25).

Stainless steel markets in 2011

In the beginning of the year, demand for stainless steel improved supported by restocking among distributors and
increasing metal prices. In the spring, volatile metal prices resulted in destocking by distributors and weaker
consumption of stainless. Following the summer period, increased global economic uncertainty resulted in further
softening in demand. The average German base price for 2mm 304 cold rolled sheet in 2011 was 1 181 EUR/tonne,
down by 6% from 2010. Higher metal prices in 2011 resulted in the transaction price for stainless steel averaging
2 871 EUR/tonne, 3% higher than the average in 2010. (CRU)

Group sales in 2011 increased by 18% to EUR 5 009 million (2010: EUR 4 229 million) as a result of higher

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
Review by the Board of Directors for 2011

Outokumpu’s underlying operational result in 2011 totalled some EUR -66 million (2010: some EUR -91 million). The
positive impact of higher delivery volumes and an improved mix was partly offset by higher costs. Outokumpu’s
operating loss in 2011 totalled EUR 260 million (2010: EUR -83 million) and included some EUR 43 million of raw
material-related inventory losses (2010: gains of some EUR 26 million) and EUR -151 million of net non-recurring
items (2010: EUR -17 million). The non-recurring items include EUR 125 million of impairments related to OSTP and
the Kloster thin strip unit, EUR 48 million of provisions related to ongoing restructuring and EUR 23 million gain from
divestment of royalty rights.

Net financial income and expenses in 2011 totalled EUR 12 million (2010: EUR -50 million) including net non-
recurring items of EUR 216 million (2010: EUR 9 million). Financial expenses includes an impairment of EUR 13
million on a loan receivable from Luvata and a EUR 13 million capital loss from the divestment of Nordic Brass
Gusum. Financial income includes EUR 242 million of capital gains from the divestment of the Group’s shareholdings
in Tibnor AB (EUR 36 million) and Talvivaara (EUR 206 million) and the initial fair valuation of financial assets.

Outokumpu’s remaining 16% stake in Talvivaara Sotkamo Ltd is classified as financial asset and valued at fair value
through profit and loss. As a result of the decline in the Talvivaara share price following the transaction in June 2011,
the initial fair value of this holding was reduced by EUR 135 million and this was booked as financial expenses.

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
Review by the Board of Directors for 2011

Net cash generated from the operating activities in 2011 improved significantly and totalled EUR 338 million (2010:
EUR -497 million) with the main cause being significant reduction in working capital as a result of clearly lower
inventories and lower metal prices. In 2011, EUR 310 million of cash was released from working capital (2010: EUR
476 million tied up in working capital). In the second quarter, cash flow from financing activities – the divestment of
financial assets consisting of holdings in Tibnor and Talvivaara – had a positive impact of EUR 162 million. At the end
of 2011, cash and cash equivalents totalled EUR 168 million (2010: EUR 150 million).

Net interest-bearing debt declined by EUR 118 million and totalled EUR 1 720 million at the end of 2011 (31 Dec
2010: EUR 1 837 million). Gearing increased to 82.5% (31 Dec 2010: 77.3%), above the Group’s target maximum of
75%. The positive impact of reduced working capital and the capital gains resulting from divestments of financial
assets was mainly offset by fair valuation of the Group’s remaining stake in Talvivaara Sotkamo Ltd, impairments
related to OSTP and Kloster thin strip unit and capital expenditure in 2011. At the end of 2011, Outokumpu’s equity-
to-assets ratio was 39.8% (31 Dec 2010: 42.2%).

In June, Outokumpu signed a three-year EUR 750 million revolving credit facility, with options to extend this by one
year in June 2012 and June 2013. This committed credit facility replaces the comparable three-year facility signed in
June 2009 and will be used for general corporate purposes. The loan agreement includes a financial covenant based
on gearing at the level of 115%.

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
Review by the Board of Directors for 2011

Capital expenditure by the Group in 2011 totalled EUR 255 million (2010: EUR 161 million) and included both annual
maintenance and ongoing investment projects: the expansion of ferrochrome production in Tornio and Kemi in
Finland and increased production capacity and capability of quarto plate at Degerfors in Sweden.

The EUR 440 million investment project to double ferrochrome production capacity at Tornio Works is on schedule
and on budget and proceeding as planned. In 2011, detailed design planning and construction work made good
progress and several equipment supply contracts were signed. Installation of equipment began in the autumn and
first long-term customer sales agreements have been finalised. Capital expenditure on the ferrochrome expansion
project in 2011 totalled EUR 129 million, with EUR 137 million since the beginning of the project. Capital expenditure
for this project in 2012 is expected to total approximately EUR 200 million.

The EUR 104 million investment project to increase quarto plate production capability and capacity at Degerfors in
Sweden is on budget and proceeding as planned. Completion is expected in 2014. Capital expenditure on this project
in 2011 totalled EUR 36 million and capital expenditure in 2012 is expected to total approximately EUR 40 million.

In June, a new acid regeneration plant at Avesta in Sweden was inaugurated. This EUR 28 million investment project
was launched in 2009. Very energy-efficient equipment to reduce acids is being employed in the facility’s annealing
and pickling line, significantly reducing the amounts of new acid used in the stainless steel production process.

Capital expenditure in 2012 is expected to total approximately EUR 300 million. In addition to annual maintenance-
related capital expenditure, primary cash outflows will be connected with the Group’s ongoing ferrochrome and quarto
plate investment projects.

Implementation of Outokumpu’s short-term agenda

In April 2011, Outokumpu launched a short-term agenda in which the focus was on improving cash flow, improving
balance sheet flexibility and addressing the most critical factors burdening Group profitability.

Functional efficiency improvement

In April, Outokumpu initiated statutory personnel negotiations to improve profitability, gain more efficiency as well as
remove overlapping activities in the Group’s sales, supply chain and supporting functions in Europe. As a result, a
total of approximately 300 jobs were reduced in these functions by the end of 2011. The outsourcing of some IT-
services was further developed and an agreement with Tieto on the supply of IT infrastructure services was signed by
the year-end. As a result of this agreement, approximately 20 Outokumpu employees transfer to Tieto by 1 March
2012. The outsourcing of additional IT infrastructure services is ongoing and the finalisation of related agreements is
expected in the first quarter of 2012. Annual cost savings totalling EUR 29 million resulting from these actions are
expected in 2012 and onwards and related non-recurring provisions of EUR 13 million were booked in the second
quarter of 2011.

Disposal of non-core financial assets

In May, Outokumpu sold the Group’s 15% holding in Tibnor AB to SSAB. The total consideration for this divestment
was EUR 44 million in cash and a tax-free capital gain of some EUR 36 million was booked as financial income in the
second quarter.

In June, Outokumpu sold the whole of the Group’s stake in Talvivaara Mining Company Plc, 4.3% of total shares, to
Solidium Oy for a total consideration of EUR 60 million in cash, recording a capital gain of EUR 28 million as financial
income in the second quarter. Outokumpu also sold one-fifth of its 20% holding in the unlisted company Talvivaara
Sotkamo Ltd to Talvivaara Mining Company Plc for a total consideration of EUR 60 million. Talvivaara Mining
Company Plc was also granted an option to purchase the Group’s remaining 16% holding in Talvivaara Sotkamo Ltd
by the end of the first quarter of 2012. Should this option be exercised in full, the total consideration will amount to
EUR 240 million. Outokumpu’s 20% stake in Talvivaara Sotkamo Ltd was earlier classified in the Group’s accounts
under Associated companies. Following the change of ownership, Outokumpu no longer has significant influence in
Talvivaara Sotkamo Ltd and the remaining 16% holding is classified in Outokumpu’s financial statements as a
financial asset valued at fair value through profit or loss.

In November, Outokumpu sold its 50% stake in Nordic Brass Gusum, a brass rod mill in Sweden, to the operative
management. A capital loss of EUR 13 million was booked by the Group in the fourth quarter with only marginal
impact from consideration and cash flow.

11

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
Review by the Board of Directors for 2011

In December, Outokumpu sold the Group’s rights to royalties from the Forrestania nickel and precious metals
resources to Western Areas NL, the Australian company, for EUR 23 million. As these royalties were valued at zero
on the Outokumpu balance sheet, a non-recurring gain (no tax impact) of EUR 23 million was booked in the Group’s
fourth quarter operating results. The transaction had a positive impact of EUR 11.5 million on Outokumpu’s cash flow
in the fourth quarter of 2011 and will have a similar impact in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Outokumpu also intends to divest both the Group’s remaining brass operations in the Netherlands and its 50%
holding in Fagersta Stainless AB, a company in Sweden produces wire and wire rod.

Turnaround of the Kloster thin strip unit in Sweden

In June, a turnaround plan was designed to return Outokumpu’s loss-making thin and precision strip mill in Kloster to
sustainable profitability. Measures being taken include the simplification and optimisation of both production and the
unit’s product mix, re-segmentation of the customer base, overall cost reduction and the provision of internal material
feeds primarily from the Group’s Tornio Works in Finland. In 2011, the operating loss at the Kloster thin strip unit
totalled EUR 86 million, including impairments of EUR 60 million. Outokumpu will evaluate whether the turnaround
plan is delivering adequate results by mid-2012.

Joint venture for OSTP, Outokumpu’s tubular products business

In July, Outokumpu and Tubinoxia, an Italian company controlled by Andrea Gatti, signed a letter of intent regarding a
joint venture arrangement for OSTP, Outokumpu’s tubular business unit. The final agreement on the joint venture was
signed by Outokumpu and Tubinoxia in September. Tubinoxia now owns 36% of the shares in OSTP and has an
option to acquire additional shares up to 51% over a three-year time period. Outokumpu has an option to redeem any
shares acquired by Tubinoxia at their original value if Tubinoxia does not eventually purchase a majority holding. It
has also been agreed that Outokumpu will continue to be the primary supplier of raw materials to OSTP. Outokumpu
will initially be responsible for financing the business.

OSTP is managed through a board of directors. While Outokumpu is the majority shareholder, the majority of the
board’s members, including the chairman, will be appointed by Outokumpu. Andrea Gatti is OSTP’s managing
director and Kalle Luoto is OSTP’s Chief Financial Officer.

According to OSTP’s corporate strategy and plans for improving the company’s performance, the focus will be on
process pipes and butt-weld fittings, on consolidating production structure and reducing costs by streamlining OSTP’s
organisation. Production of process pipes and heat exchanger tubes at OSTP’s Nyby site in Sweden was closed
during 2011 with the loss of approximately 100 jobs.

The planned measures are expected to result in a visible turnaround in OSTP’s financial performance in 2012 and an
operating profit in 2013. In 2011, OSTP’s operating loss was EUR 79 million (2010: EUR -30 million) and included
impairments and restructuring provisions of EUR -52 million. OSTP will continue to be consolidated into Outokumpu’s
financial accounts as a subsidiary, with Tubinoxia’s non-controlling stake presented separately from net profit and
disclosed as a separate item in equity.

Planned reduction in costs and working capital

In October, Outokumpu announced further steps in the Group’s transition to sustainable profitability, improved cash
generation and building a solid platform for future growth. The target is a reduction of EUR 100 million in Group costs
by the end of 2012 and a reduction of EUR 250 million in working capital by mid-2013.

1. Cost reductions and ongoing job reductions

To achieve sustainable profitability, annual achieving savings of EUR 100 million by the end of 2012 are being
targeted by the cost-reduction programme initiated by Outokumpu in October. Measures include reducing the number
of production shifts, restructuring the organisation, and the outsourcing of some support functions as well as
improvements in overall efficiency. The planned measures correspond to a reduction of up to 1 300 jobs in global
terms, with most of the reductions taking place in Finland (up to 300) and in Sweden (up to 600).

12

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
Review by the Board of Directors for 2011

Negotiations with personnel representatives began immediately in all the affected units and functions. The majority of
these negotiations in Finland and Sweden were concluded in the fourth quarter and resulted in a reduction of
approximately 200 jobs in Finland and approximately 450 in Sweden. Negotiations in other countries are on-going
with finalisation expected during the first half of 2012. Outokumpu is planning additional measures to improve cost
efficiency in certain support functions. Total costs related to these personnel reductions are estimated to exceed EUR
50 million and EUR 30 million was booked in this connection in the Group’s fourth quarter accounts. The outcome of
ongoing negotiations might result in some additional negative financial impact on Outokumpu’s operating result in
coming quarters.

2. Reductions in working capital

Outokumpu’s aim is to reduce working capital by EUR 250 million primarily through improved Group-level inventory
turnover – lowering inventory days from earlier levels of 110 days to a figure closer to 90 days by mid-2013. Good
progress was achieved during the second half and the figure for inventory days was close to 100 days at the end of
the year. While working capital reductions of more than EUR 480 million achieved in 2011 were partly a result of
lower metal prices and lower inventories, improved management of accounts receivable and accounts payable also
made a significant contribution.

Streamlining of the Outokumpu’s distribution network and stock locations in Europe is expected to contribute to the
Group’s inventory reduction target and facilitate identification of the most cost-efficient routes to market. Outokumpu’s
plans include reduction of its stocking operations in Europe, serving markets from these key locations, and utilising
existing processing capacity efficiently. Outokumpu currently maintains stocks in more than 20 European countries
and has coil-processing capability at six locations. The Group also has six plate service centres in Europe.

In parallel with the Group’s own distribution network, Outokumpu has strong relationships with independent
distributors whose role is of growing importance in delivering Group products to end-use customers. Streamlining
captive stocking operations could generate opportunities for deepening cooperation with independent distributors in
some markets.

Maintenance functions at Tornio Works

In June, a study focusing on the possible outsourcing of sections of the maintenance functions at Tornio Works was
concluded. The results indicated that only marginal levels of outsourcing would be possible and development of
maintenance functions as an internal Group resource will therefore continue. The target – improvements in cost
efficiency exceeding 10% – corresponds to total savings of approximately EUR 30 million in 2012–2014.

Outokumpu’s cost reduction and efficiency improvement programmes affected Group personnel through both
announced and implemented job reductions in 2011. The efficiency improvement programme announced in April
resulted in the loss of approximately 300 jobs in non-production and among white collar functions in Europe. The
target of the ongoing cost reduction programme announced in October is aiming at reducing some 1 300 jobs by the
end of 2012. By the end of 2011, statutory negotiations already concluded resulted in the loss of approximately 200
jobs in Finland and approximately 450 in Sweden. Negotiations in other countries are on-going with finalisation
expected during the first quarter of 2012.

At the end of 2011, Outokumpu’s headcount totalled 8 253 (31 Dec 2010: 8 431) and averaged 8 651 during 2011
(2010: 8 475). Full-time employees of the Group totalled 7 886 (31 Dec 2010: 8 104) at the end of 2011 and averaged
8 299 (2010: 8 148) during the year. The net decrease in the number of full-time employees in 2011 totalled 218
(2010: increase of 350). Personnel-related costs in 2011 totalled EUR 538 million (2010: EUR 496 million, 2009: EUR
453 million). In reporting the number of company personnel, Outokumpu changed from full-time equivalent to
headcount reporting in 2011. Both figures are provided in 2011 reports.

Performance management supports the achievement of Outokumpu’s strategic goals and Performance and
Development Dialogues (PDD) are an important part of the performance management process. A majority of the
Group’s employees participated in PDD’s during 2011. Outokumpu’s target is for every employee to have at least one
formal PDD each year. In 2011, the participation rate in PDD discussions was 87%.

The 2011 Outokumpu Personnel Forum (OPF) was held in Tornio in Finland. The focus of this event was on the
implementation of Outokumpu’s short-term agenda aimed at improving cash flow, profitability and strengthening the
Group’s balance sheet. The working committee appointed by the OPF held four meetings in 2011.

14

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
Review by the Board of Directors for 2011

The lost-time injury rate (lost-time accidents per million working hours) in 2011 was 5.6 (2010: 4.7), and the Group’s
2011 target of less than 3.5 was not achieved. In the fourth quarter, the lost-time injury rate was 5.9 (III/2011: 6.1).
The lost-time injury rate target for 2012 is 4.0.

Emissions to air and discharges to water courses remained within permitted limits and the breaches that occurred
were temporary, were identified and caused only minimal environmental impact. Outokumpu is not a party in any
significant juridical or administrative proceeding concerning environmental issues, nor is the Group aware of any
realised environmental risks that could have a material adverse effect on the Outokumpu’s financial position.

Emissions trading activities have been conducted by Outokumpu in accordance with obligations, agreed procedures
and with the Group’s financial risk policy. Emissions under the EU Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) during 2011
totalled approximately 802 000 tonnes (2010: 795 000 tonnes). No external trading of EUA’s (EU emission
allowances) was carried out during the year (2010: 500 000 allowances sold for EUR 8 million). Outokumpu’s carbon
dioxide allowances in Finland, Sweden and the UK are sufficient for the Group’s planned production in 2012.
Outokumpu has applied for emissions allowances for the period 2013–2020.

Outokumpu qualified in 2011 for the OMX GES Sustainability Finland index, which consists of 40 leading companies
listed on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki stock exchange. The index criteria are based on international guidelines for
environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues.

In May, the International Stainless Steel Forum (ISSF) granted its first ISSF Sustainability Award to Outokumpu in
recognition of Outokumpu’s determined actions and substantial achievements in increasing material efficiency in
Sheffield and reducing the quantities of waste sent to landfill.

In September, the results of the annual review carried by the Sustainable Asset Management Group (SAM) for the
Dow Jones World and Dow Jones STOXX Sustainability indexes were published. Outokumpu retained its
membership in both. Outokumpu also received the metal sector’s highest scores in the environmental dimension by
achieving the highest possible scores in connection with two sustainability criteria: Climate Strategy and
Environmental Policy and Management.

In October, Outokumpu was commended by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and the Group features in the
CDP's "Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index" for the third time. The CDP index highlights companies listed in the
Nordic stock exchanges, which have displayed the most professional approach to corporate governance in respect of
climate change disclosure practices.

In 2011, Oekom Research AG described Outokumpu as a pioneer in achieving improved level of energy efficiency in
the metals sector.

Research and Development

Outokumpu invested EUR 21 million in research and development in 2011 (2010: EUR 22 million). The Group’s R&D
operations employ approximately 200 professionals and Outokumpu’s two research centres are located at Tornio in
Finland and Avesta in Sweden. R&D is also carried out locally at the Group’s other production sites.

Outokumpu’s R&D operations involve process, product and application development. Process development work
supports the Group’s Business Areas in improving energy and cost efficiency and the environmental profile of the
production technologies employed and in securing high-quality and consistent stainless steel products. In product
development, Outokumpu has identified global challenges such as securing adequate energy supplies and the need
for clean water and clean air as major drivers of product innovation.

In many applications, life-cycle analyses and life-cycle cost considerations support the use of stainless solutions.
Outokumpu’s focus is on developing low-nickel and no-nickel stainless grades, such as duplex and ferritic stainless
steels, and on differentiation through the development of value-added special products such as high-corrosion-
resistance, heat-resistant and high-strength stainless steels. Outokumpu 654 SMO®, a high-performance stainless
steel grade, was launched in 2011. As well as offering superior corrosion resistance and superior mechanical
properties, this new grade is a cost-effective alternative for applications in which nickel alloys and titanium are
presently employed.

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
Review by the Board of Directors for 2011

Risks and uncertainties

Outokumpu operates in accordance with the risk management policy approved by the Group's Board of Directors.
This policy defines the objectives, approaches and areas of responsibility of risk management activities. As well as
supporting Outokumpu’s strategy, risk management aims to identify, evaluate and mitigate risks from the perspective
of shareholders, customers, suppliers, personnel, creditors and other stakeholders.

Outokumpu has defined risk as anything that could have an adverse impact on achieving the Group's objectives.
Risks can therefore be threats, uncertainties or lost opportunities connected with current or future operations. During
2011 the Group’s risk tolerance and key risks were reviewed and updated by the Group Executive Committee and
risk workshops were arranged for some functions and sites, for example at the Group’s Tornio Works in Finland. In
the workshops held at Tornio Works, the goal was to identify, evaluate and mitigate the operational risks, including
hazard risks.

No major damage to property or business interruptions occurred in 2011. The most significant risks realised in 2011
were associated with overcapacity in stainless steel markets, global economic uncertainty, the deepening financial
crisis in Europe and the negative impact on Outokumpu's profitability and gearing resulting from the decline in nickel
and molybdenum prices.

Strategic and business risks

Strategic risks for Outokumpu are mainly associated with the Group's business portfolio and strategic decision
making. Business risks relate to the economic outlook markets for stainless steel and to the behaviour of customers,
suppliers and competitors. Important risks which Outokumpu currently faces include structural overcapacity and weak
markets for stainless steel; Outokumpu's ability to implement its chosen strategy; risk of a steeper economic
downturn in Europe; business risks connected with special products; the future of growth markets and ferrochrome
production; adverse trade political actions or changes affecting environmental legislation and the increased cost of
inputs.

To ensure Outokumpu’s cost-competitiveness and a return to profitability, the Group has taken action to cut costs and
reduce working capital. A lack of success in strategy implementation could prevent the Outokumpu from achieving its
vision and objectives. Key actions in connection with achieving the Group’s strategic objectives include: increasing
capacity utilisation at Tornio Works; capacity and cost adjustments as well as product differentiation in Specialty
Stainless; and the ongoing investment to expand ferrochrome production. To secure future growth, Outokumpu
recently specified APAC (Asia Pacific) as a Focus Area.

Operational risks

Operational risks include inadequate or failed internal processes, employee actions, systems, or events such as
natural catastrophes and misconduct or crime. Risks of these types are often connected with production operations,
logistics, financial processes, major investment projects, other projects or information technology and, should they
materialise, can lead to personal injury, liabilities, loss of property, interrupted operations or environmental impacts.
Outokumpu's operational risks are partly covered by insurances. The Group aims to identify and mitigate possible
risks and any resulting impact on stakeholders. Key operational risks for Outokumpu are: a major fire or accident, IT
dependency, lack of harmonised business processes and information systems; project implementation risks and
personnel-related risks.

To minimise possible damages to property and business interruptions which could result from fire at some of its major
production sites, Outokumpu has instituted systematic fire and security audit programmes. Fire risks are to some
extent covered by insurances. Some 30 fire safety audits have now been carried out using the Group’s own
resources and expertise in co-operation with external advisors. People-related risks are associated with weak
performance and leadership cultures, the poor utilisation of talent and Outokumpu’s possible lack of attractiveness as
an employer. To mitigate such risks, the focus in personnel development within the Group is on the resources and
competences required to meet the changing needs of the business and the environment where Outokumpu operates.

Financial risks

Key financial risks for Outokumpu include changes in price of nickel, molybdenum, electricity and fuels; currency risks
associated with the euro, the Swedish krona and the US dollar; interest rate risks connected with the Swedish krona
and the euro; risks related to certain equity prices; risks associated with a loan receivable from Luvata; other credit
risks; limitations on financial flexibility and the risk of financial distress.

16

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
Review by the Board of Directors for 2011

In 2011, declining prices for nickel and molybdenum had a negative impact on the Group’s overall financial
performance but the resulting losses were partly offset by hedging activity. The Group’s sourcing of fuels is only partly
based on fixed-price contracts and Outokumpu used hedging to partly mitigate these risks. Part of the forecast cash
flows connected with the Group’s business operations in Sweden were also hedged in 2011.

Credit risk insurances were renewed in 2011 through long-term agreements negotiated at lower premiums than in the
preceding agreements. A changed policy structure resulted in an improvement in the Group’s utilisation of credit limit
capacity. Both liquidity and refinancing risks are taken into account in capital management decisions and, when
necessary, in making investment and other business decisions. In 2011, Outokumpu signed a three-year EUR 750
million multi-currency committed revolving credit facility which will be used for general corporate purposes. This
revolving credit facility includes a financial covenant based on gearing at the level of 115%.

Civil actions regarding the divested fabricated copper
products business

In connection with the EU investigation into an industrial copper tubes cartel that was completed in May 2009,
Outokumpu has since 2004 addressed several civil complaints raised against the company and its former fabricated
copper products business.

The last pending civil complaint in the United States, filed by Carrier Corporation in 2006 against Outokumpu Oyj and
Outokumpu Copper Franklin, Inc. in the federal district court in Memphis, Tennessee, seeks an unstated amount of
damages. The complaint alleges a worldwide price fixing and market allocation cartel with respect to copper tubing
for air conditioning and heat exchangers and related applications (ACR Tube) for at least the period from 1989 to
2001. In July 2007, the complaint raised by Carrier Corporation was dismissed. Carrier subsequently filed an appeal,
and this is still pending in the Court of Appeals.

In 2010, certain companies in the Carrier Group brought a civil action in the UK courts against Outokumpu Oyj (and
two other defendant groups). The claimants allege that they suffered losses across Europe as a result of the cartel
and are seeking recovery from the three main defendant groups either jointly or jointly and severally. The claimants’
initial claim for alleged losses is some GBP 20 million excluding interest. Outokumpu will be challenging the
jurisdiction of the UK courts to hear this claim. In any event, Outokumpu believes that the allegations regarding
damages caused by the cartel are groundless and, if pursued, Outokumpu will defend itself in any proceedings. In
October 2011, the High Court of Justice has rendered its decision and rejected the applications to contest jurisdiction.
All the defendants have filed applications for permission to appeal against this judgment in the Court of Appeal. The
decision is expected in early 2012.

No provisions have been booked by Outokumpu in connection with these claims.

Customs investigation of exports to Russia by Tornio
Works

In March 2007, Finnish Customs authorities initiated a criminal investigation into the Group’s Tornio Works’ export
practices to Russia. It was suspected that a forwarding agency based in south-eastern Finland had prepared
defective and/or forged invoices regarding the export of stainless steel to Russia. The preliminary investigation
focused on possible complicity by Outokumpu Tornio Works in the preparation of defective and/or forged invoices by
the forwarding agent. In June 2009, the Finnish Customs completed its preliminary investigation and forwarded the
matter for consideration of possible charges to the prosecution authorities. The process of considering possible
charges was completed in November 2010 and the public prosecutor concluded that the Customs authorities’
suspicions regarding possible accounting offences and forgery were groundless.

The case was nevertheless taken to court in March 2011 as charges were pressed against Outokumpu and five of its
employees for alleged money laundering in connection with export practices to Russia by Tornio Works during
2004–2006. On behalf of the Finnish State, the prosecutor also presented a claim for forfeiture of the funds subject to
money laundering. In a judgement delivered in June 2011, the Court dismissed all claims and the Finnish State was
ordered to pay a total of EUR 1.2 million in compensation. In August, Finland’s State Prosecutor lodged an appeal
against the District Court verdict and legal proceedings are expected to commence in the Kouvola Court of Appeal in
February 2012.

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
Review by the Board of Directors for 2011

2011 Annual General Meeting

The 2011 Annual General Meeting (AGM) approved a dividend of EUR 0.25 per share for 2010. Dividends totalling
EUR 45 million were paid on 5 April 2011.

The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to decide to repurchase the Group’s own shares. The maximum number
of shares to be repurchased is 18 000 000, currently representing 9.84% of the total number of registered shares.
Based on earlier authorisations, Outokumpu currently holds 1 040 888 of its own shares. The AGM authorised the
Board of Directors to decide to issue shares and to grant special rights entitling to shares. The maximum number of
new shares to be issued through the share issue and/or by granting special rights entitling to shares is 18 000 000,
and, in addition, the maximum number of treasury shares to be transferred is 18 000 000. The authorisation includes
the right to resolve upon directed share issues. These authorisations are valid for 12 months or until the next AGM,
however no longer than 31 May 2012. To date the authorisations have not been used.

The AGM decided that the number of Board members, including the Chairman and Vice Chairman, should be seven.
Evert Henkes, Ole Johansson, Anna Nilsson-Ehle, Jussi Pesonen and Olli Vaartimo were re-elected as members of
the Board of Directors, and Elisabeth Nilsson and Siv Schalin were elected as new members. The AGM re-elected
Ole Johansson as Chairman and elected Olli Vaartimo as Vice Chairman of the Board. The AGM also resolved to
form a Nomination Board to prepare proposals on the composition and remuneration of the Board of Directors for
presentation to the next AGM.

At its first meeting, the Board of Directors of Outokumpu appointed two permanent committees consisting of Board
members. Olli Vaartimo (Chairman), Anna Nilsson-Ehle and Jussi Pesonen were elected as members of the Board
Audit Committee. Ole Johansson (Chairman), Evert Henkes, Elisabeth Nilsson and Siv Schalin were elected as
members of the Board Remuneration Committee.

KPMG Oy Ab, Authorised Public Accountants, was re-elected as the Company’s auditor for the period ending at the
close of the next AGM.

Outokumpu’s Nomination Board

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 24 March 2011 decided to establish a Nomination Board to prepare
proposals on the composition of Outokumpu’s Board of Directors and directors’ remuneration for the following AGM.

The AGM also decided that the Nomination Board consists of representatives of Outokumpu’s three largest
shareholders, as registered in the Finnish book-entry securities system on 1 October 2011, which accept the
assignment.

Outokumpu’s Nomination Board consists of representatives if the following three shareholders: Solidium Oy, The
Social Insurance Institution of Finland and Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company. Representatives
nominated by these shareholders are Kari Järvinen, CEO (Solidium Oy); Liisa Hyssälä, Director General (The Finnish
Social Insurance Institution) and Harri Sailas, CEO (Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company) as their
representatives on the Nomination Board. Ole Johansson, the Chairman of the Outokumpu Board of Directors,
serves as an expert member and Kari Järvinen as Chairman among its members. The Nomination Board was
required to submit its proposals to Outokumpu’s Board of Directors no later than 31 January 2012.

Events after the review period

On January 31 2012, Outokumpu announced the plan to combine of Outokumpu and Inoxum. Please see separate
release published by Outokumpu: “Outokumpu and ThyssenKrupp to combine their stainless steel businesses to
create a new global leader in stainless steel”.

Short-term outlook

Following a softening in demand for stainless steel in the fourth quarter of 2011, demand for standard grades began
to show signs of improvement in the new-year with distributor purchasing supported by a slight increase in the nickel
price. However, no significant change has been seen in underlying demand. Lead times are currently normal at 6–8
weeks. As a result of the destocking that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2011, distributor inventories in Europe
are estimated to be below normal levels.

20

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
Review by the Board of Directors for 2011

Outokumpu’s order intake has been encouraging in the beginning of the year. Based on current levels of order intake,
Outokumpu’s delivery volumes in the first quarter of 2012 are expected to be clearly above levels seen in the fourth
quarter of 2011.

Following the decline in base prices in the fourth quarter, Outokumpu has been able to increase prices slightly in both
standard and special grades. The resulting impact on the Group’s average base prices will be visible towards the end
of the first quarter.

Higher delivery volumes and slightly higher base prices are expected to lead to Outokumpu’s underlying operational
result*) being around break-even or slightly positive in the first quarter of 2012. At current metal prices, marginal raw-
material related inventory gains are expected. Outokumpu’s operating result in the first quarter of 2012 might be
impacted by non-recurring items associated with the Group’s ongoing efficiency improvement programmes.

*) Underlying operational result=operating profit/loss excluding raw material-related inventory gains/losses and non-
recurring items.

Board of Directors’ proposal for profit distribution

In accordance with the Board of Directors' established dividend policy, the pay-out ratio over a business cycle should
be at least one-third of the Group’s profit for the period with the aim to have stable annual payments to shareholders.
In its annual dividend proposal, the Board of Directors will, in addition to financial results, take into consideration the
Group’s investment and development needs.

The Board of Directors is proposing to the Annual General Meeting scheduled for 14 March 2012 that no dividend be
paid from the parent company’s distributable funds per 31 December 2011 and that all distributable funds be
allocated to retained earnings.

According to the Group’s financial statements on 31 December 2011, distributable funds of the parent company
totalled EUR 747 million. No material changes have taken place in the company’s financial position after the end of
the reporting period.

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
Auditor's report

AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Annual General Meeting of Outokumpu Oyj

We have audited the accounting records, the financial statements, the report of the Board of Directors, and the
administration of Outokumpu Oyj for the year ended 31 December 2011. The financial statements comprise the
consolidated statement of financial position, statement of income, statement of comprehensive income, statement of
changes in equity and statement of cash flows, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, as well as the
parent company’s balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and notes to the financial statements.

Responsibility of the Board of Directors as well as the
President and CEO

The Board of Directors and the President and CEO are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial
statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as
adopted by the EU, as well as for the preparation of financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors that
give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the financial
statements and the report of the Board of Directors in Finland. The Board of Directors is responsible for the
appropriate arrangement of the control of the company’s accounts and finances, and the President and CEO shall
see to it that the accounts of the company are in compliance with the law and that its financial affairs have been
arranged in a reliable manner.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements, on the consolidated financial statements and
on the report of the Board of Directors based on our audit. The Auditing Act requires that we comply with the
requirements of professional ethics. We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland.
Good auditing practice requires that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors are free from material misstatement, and whether the
members of the Board of Directors of the parent company or the President and CEO are guilty of an act or
negligence which may result in liability in damages towards the company or have violated the Limited Liability
Companies Act or the articles of association of the company.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and the report of the Board of Directors. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of financial statements and
report of the Board of Directors that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal
control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements and the report of the Board of Directors.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.

Opinion on the consolidated financial statements

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows of the group in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as
adopted by the EU.

Opinion on the company’s financial statements and the report of the Board
of Directors

In our opinion, the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors give a true and fair view of both the
consolidated and the parent company’s financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and

22

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
Auditor's report

regulations governing the preparation of the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors in Finland.
The information in the report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the information in the financial statements.

Other opinions

We support the adoption of the financial statements. The proposal by the Board of Directors regarding the treatment
of distributable funds is in compliance with the Limited Liability Companies Act. We support that the Board of
Directors of the parent company and the President and CEO be discharged from liability for the financial period
audited by us.

consolidated financial statements

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of Outokumpu have been prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRSs) adopted by the European Union. The consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in compliance with the IAS and IFRS standards as well as the SIC and IFRIC interpretations in force on 31
December 2011. The consolidated financial statements also comply with the regulations of Finnish accounting and
company legislation complementing the IFRSs.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of euros and have been prepared under the historical
cost convention, unless otherwise stated in the accounting principles. All figures presented have been rounded and
consequently the sum of individual figures may deviate from the presented aggregate figure. Key figures have been
calculated using exact figures.

The consolidated financial statements of Outokumpu for 2011 have been prepared on a going concern basis.

As from 1 January 2011, Outokumpu has applied the following amended standards and interpretations. These
amendments did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for 2011.

Revised IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures: The revised standard clarifies the definition of a related party in order to
simplify the identification of related party relationships particularly in relation to significant influence and joint control.
A partial exemption from the disclosures has been included for government-related entities.

Amendment to IAS 32 Financial instruments: Presentation – Classification of Rights Issue: The amended standard
classifies a certain rights issue as an equity instrument instead of a derivative with the fair value changes through
profit or loss if certain criteria are met.

Amendments to IFRIC 14 IAS 19—The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their
Interaction—Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement: The amended interpretation allows certain
voluntary prepayments of a minimum funding requirement to be accounted for as assets.

IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments: The interpretation clarifies accounting treatment
in cases where equity instruments are issued to a creditor to extinguish a financial liability.

In addition, Outokumpu has applied the Improvements to IFRSs (issued in May 2010), which concern in total seven
standards. The amendments are mandatorily effective and adopted by the EU for the reporting periods beginning
on 1 January 2011.

Adoption of new and amended IFRS standards and
interpretations

Outokumpu has not yet applied the following new and amended standards and interpretations already issued. The
Group will adopt them as of the effective date or, if the date is other than the first day of the reporting period, from the
beginning of the subsequent reporting period (* = not yet endorsed by the European Union).

Amendment to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July
2011). The amendment promotes transparency in the reporting of transfer transactions of financial instruments and
enables the users of financial statements to better evaluate the risk exposures related to transfers of financial
instruments and the effect of those on the entity’s financial position, particularly when securitisation of financial
assets is in question. Outokumpu estimates that the amended standard has no significant impact on the
disclosures.

Amendment to IAS 12 Income Taxes* (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012). The
amendment relates to the presumption used in the recognition of deferred taxes. According to the amendment, the
carrying amount of certain assets measured at fair value, such as investment properties, is assumed to be mainly
recovered through the sale of the asset in future instead of through continuing use. The amendment is not expected
to have any impact on Outokumpu’s financial statements.

2. Accounting principles for the consolidated accounts

Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements* (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July
2012). The key change is the requirement to group items of other comprehensive income by whether they will
subsequently be reclassified through profit or loss if certain conditions are met. After the amendment comes into
effect, Outokumpu will present items of other comprehensive income grouped in accordance with the amended
standard.

Amendment to IAS 19 Employee Benefits* (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013). In
future, all actuarial gains and losses are immediately recognised in other comprehensive income, thus eliminating
the so-called corridor approach, and finance costs are calculated on a net funding basis. The amendment will affect
Outokumpu’s future financial statements as the corridor approach is waived. Outokumpu estimates that the
amendment has approximately EUR 49 million negative impact on the Group’s equity in 2012. The impact on the
statement of income is limited to grouping of expenses.

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements* (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013):
IFRS 10 builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the determining factor when deciding
whether an entity should be incorporated within the consolidated financial statements. The standard also provides
additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. The new standard may
affect Outokumpu’s future financial statements as the standard comes into effect. The impact has not yet been
quantified.

IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements* (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013): In the accounting
of joint arrangements IFRS 11 focuses on the rights and obligations of the arrangement rather than its legal form.
There are two types of joint arrangements: joint operations and joint ventures. In future jointly controlled entities are
to be accounted for using only one method, equity method, and the other alternative, proportional consolidation is
no longer allowed. The new standard is not expected to have a material impact on Outokumpu’s future financial
statements as the standard comes into effect.

IFRS 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities* (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January
2013): IFRS 12 includes the disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including associates,
joint arrangements, structured entities and other off-balance sheet vehicles. The new standard will have an impact
on the disclosures of Outokumpu’s future financial statements.

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement* (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013): IFRS 13
establishes a single source of all fair value measurements and disclosure requirements for use across IFRSs. The
new standard also provides a precise definition of fair value. IFRS 13 does not extend the use of fair value
accounting, but it provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRSs when fair value is required or
permitted. Outokumpu estimates that the new standard will have no material impact on the financial statements.

IAS 27 (revised 2011) Separate Financial Statements* (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January
2013): The revised standard includes the provisions on separate financial statements that are left after the control
provisions have been included in the new IFRS 10. The revised standard is not expected to have a significant
impact on Outokumpu’s financial statements.

IAS 28 (revised 2011) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures* (effective for annual periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2013): Following the issue of IFRS 11 the revised IAS 28 includes the requirements for joint
ventures, as well as associates, to be equity accounted. The revised standard is not expected to have a significant
impact on Outokumpu’s financial statements.

IFRIC 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine* (effective for annual periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2013): The interpretation provides guidance to the accounting treatment of stripping costs in the
production phase of a surface mine, when benefit from the stripping activity is realised in two ways: in the form of
mineral ores to the production of inventory, and on the other hand in the form of improved access to further
quantities of material that will be mined in future periods. The new interpretation is not expected to have a
significant impact on Outokumpu’s future financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures* (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2013): The amended standard requires the presentation of information that will allow evaluation of the
effects of netting arrangements on the entity’s financial position. The disclosures required by those amendments are
to be provided retrospectively. The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on Outokumpu’s
financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation* (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2014): The amendments provide clarifications on the application of requirements for offsetting financial
assets and financial liabilities on the statement of financial position. The amended standard is to be applied
retrospectively. The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on Outokumpu’s financial
statements.

2. Accounting principles for the consolidated accounts

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments* and subsequent amendments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2015): IFRS 9 is the first step of the IASB’s three-phase project to replace the current IAS 39 Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The amendments resulting from the first phase address the
classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. Different ways of
measurement for financial assets have been retained, but simplified. Based on measurement, financial assets are
classified into two main groups: financial assets at amortised cost and financial assets at fair value. Classification
depends on a company’s business model and the characteristics of contractual cash flows. For financial liabilities,
the standard retains most of the IAS 39 requirements. IFRS 9 is estimated to have a significant impact on the
Group’s accounting for financial instruments.

Use of estimates and management judgements

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRSs requires management to make judgements and
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the reporting date, as well as the reported amounts of income and
expenses during the reporting period. Accounting estimates and assumptions are employed in the financial
statements to determine reported amounts, including how realisable certain assets are, the useful lives of tangible
and intangible assets, income taxes, inventories, provisions, pension obligations, impairment of goodwill and other
items. These are those financial statement items that are mostly affected by management judgements made. The
basis of the estimates is described in more detail in these accounting principles and in connection with the relevant
disclosure to the financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of
current events and actions at the end of the reporting period, actual results may differ from the estimates and
assumptions. The management estimates and judgements are continuously monitored and they are based on prior
experience and other factors, such as future expectations assumed to be reasonable considering the circumstances.

Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements include the parent company Outokumpu Oyj and all those subsidiaries where
over 50 % of the subsidiary’s voting rights are controlled directly or indirectly by the parent company, or the parent
company is otherwise in control of the company at the end of the reporting period. Control is the power to govern the
financial and operational policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The existence of potential
control is also taken into account if the instruments entitling to potential voting rights are currently exercisable.
Acquired subsidiaries are consolidated from the date that control was obtained by the Group, and disposed
subsidiaries until control ceases.

Acquired or established subsidiaries are accounted for by using the acquisition method. The consideration
transferred and the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquired company are measured at fair
value at the acquisition date. The consideration transferred includes any assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities
incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer. Also
contingent liabilities or contingent assets measured at fair value are included in the consideration transferred. Any
contingent consideration related to the business combination is measured at fair value at the acquisition date and it is
classified as either liability or equity. Contingent consideration classified as liability is remeasured at its fair value at
the end of each reporting period and the subsequent changes to fair value are recognised in profit or loss. Contingent
consideration classified as equity is not subsequently remeasured. The consideration transferred does not include
any transactions accounted for separately from the acquisition, which is accounted for in profit or loss in conjunction
with the acquisition. All acquisition-related costs, with the exception of costs to issue debt or equity securities, are
recognised as expenses in the periods in which costs are incurred and services rendered.

Goodwill arising on an acquisition is recognised as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and
the amount of any non-controlling interests or previously held equity interests in the acquiree, over the Group’s share
of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Non-controlling
interest in the acquiree is measured acquisition-by-acquisition either at fair value or at value, which equals to the
proportional share of the non-controlling interest in the identifiable net assets acquired. Changes in the parent
company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions if the parent company retains
control of the subsidiary.

34

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
2. Accounting principles for the consolidated accounts

To those business combinations, which have taken place before 1 January 2010, accounting principles effective at
that time have been applied.

All intra-group transactions, receivables, liabilities and unrealised margins, as well as distribution of profits within the
Group, are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated financial statements. The result for the period and items
recognised in other comprehensive income are allocated to the owners of the parent company and non-controlling
interests and presented in the statement of income and other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are
presented separately from the equity allocated to the owners of the parent. Comprehensive income is allocated to the
owners of the parent company and to non-controlling interests even in situations where the allocation would result in
the non-controlling interests’ share being negative, unless non-controlling interests have an exemption not to meet
obligations which exceed non-controlling interests’ investment in the company.

Associated companies

Companies, where Outokumpu generally holds voting rights of 20–50% and in which Outokumpu otherwise has
significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies, are included in the consolidated
financial statements as associated companies. Associated companies are consolidated by using the equity method
from the date that significant control was obtained until control ceases.

The Group’s share of the associated company’s profit for the period is separately disclosed after operating profit or
loss in the consolidated statement of income. Outokumpu’s share of changes recognised in associated company’s
other comprehensive income is recognised in the Group’s other comprehensive income. When Outokumpu’s share of
the associated company’s losses exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, the investment is recognised at
zero value in the statement of financial position and recognition of further losses is discontinued, except to the extent
that the Group has incurred obligations in respect of the associated company. The interest in an associated company
comprises the carrying amount of the investment under the equity method together with any long-term interest that, in
substance, forms a part of the net investment in the associated company.

Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets held for sale (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts are
expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use. Classification as held for sale
requires that the following criteria are met: the sale is highly probable, the asset is available for immediate sale in its
present condition subject to usual and customary terms, the management is committed to the sale and the sale is
expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification. Prior to classification as held for sale, the
assets or assets and liabilities related to a disposal group in question are measured according to the respective IFRS
standards. From the date of classification, non-current assets (or a disposal group) held for sale are measured at the
lower of the carrying amount and the fair value less the costs to sell, and the recognition of depreciation is
discontinued. Assets included in disposal groups but not in the scope of the measurement requirements in IFRS 5, as
well as liabilities, are measured according to the related IFRS standards also after the date of classification. Assets
held for sale, disposal groups, items recognised in other comprehensive income related to assets held for sale, and
liabilities included in disposal groups are presented in the statement of financial position separately from other items.

Segment reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn
revenues and incur expenses, and for which discrete financial information is available.

Outokumpu’s operating segments are General Stainless and Specialty Stainless. Pricing of intersegment transactions
is based on arm’s length prices. Operating segments are determined based on differences in product range and
information provided internally to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who is Outokumpu’s Chief Operating Decision
Maker. Due to Outokumpu’s integrated operating model, the revenues and expenses of operating segments are
strongly linked with each other. Operating profit of the operating segments is reported to the CEO regularly in order
for him to review their performance and make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments. Operating
profit is defined correspondingly in management reporting as in these accounting principles.

Other operations mainly consist of such business development and Corporate Management expenses that are not
allocated to the businesses as well as the remaining brass business.

35

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
2. Accounting principles for the consolidated accounts

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions of each subsidiary included in the consolidated financial statements are measured using the currency
that best reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to that subsidiary (“the
functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in euros which is the functional currency of
the parent company. Group companies’ foreign currency transactions are translated into local functional currencies
using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Receivables and liabilities in foreign currencies
are translated into functional currencies at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Foreign
exchange differences arising from interest-bearing assets and liabilities and related derivatives are recognised in
finance income and expenses in the statement of income. Foreign exchange differences arising in respect of other
financial instruments are included in operating profit under sales, purchases or other operating income and expenses.
The effective portion of exchange differences arisen from instruments designated as hedges of the net investments in
foreign operations is recognised in other comprehensive income.

For those subsidiaries whose functional and presentation currency is not the euro, the income and expenses for
statement of comprehensive income and items for statement of cash flows, are translated into euro at the average
exchange rates during the reporting period. The assets and liabilities for the statement of financial position are
translated using the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. The translation differences arising from the use
of different exchange rates are recognised in Group’s other comprehensive income. Any goodwill arising on the
acquisition of foreign operations and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
arising on the acquisition of those foreign operations are treated as assets and liabilities of those foreign operations.
They are translated into euro using the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. When a foreign operation is
sold, or is otherwise partially or completely disposed of, the translation differences accumulated in equity related to
the disposed part are reclassified in profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on the sale.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised after the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the sold products have been
transferred to the buyer, and the Group retains neither a continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually
associated with ownership, nor effective control of those goods. Usually this means that revenue is recognised upon
delivery of goods to customers in accordance with agreed terms of delivery.

Outokumpu ships stainless steel products to customers under a variety of delivery terms. The used terms are based
on Incoterms 2010 collection of delivery terms, published and defined by the International Chamber of Commerce
Terms of Trade.

The most common delivery terms used by Outokumpu are “C” terms, whereby the Group arranges and pays for the
carriage and certain other costs. The Group ceases to be responsible for the goods and revenue is recognised once
the goods have been handed over to the carrier to be delivered to the agreed destination.

Less frequently used are “D” terms, under which the Group is obliged to deliver the goods to the buyer at the agreed
destination, in which case revenue is recognised when the goods are delivered to the buyer. Also “F” terms are less
frequently used, under which the buyer arranges and pays for the carriage, and revenue is recognised when the
goods are handed over to the carrier contracted by the buyer.

Income taxes

The Group’s income tax expense in the statement of income includes taxes of the Group companies based on
taxable profit for the period, together with tax adjustments for previous periods and the change in deferred income
taxes. Tax effects related to transactions recognised in profit or loss or other events are recognised in profit or loss. If
the taxes are related to items of other comprehensive income or to transactions or other events recognised directly in
equity, income taxes are recognised within the respective items. The share of results in associated companies is
reported in the statement of income as calculated from net profit and thus including the income tax effect.

Deferred income taxes are stated using the liability method, as measured with enacted tax rates or substantially
enacted tax rates for the following financial year, to reflect the net tax effects of generally all temporary differences
between the carrying amounts for financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities at the reporting date. The
main temporary differences arise from the depreciation difference on property, plant and equipment, fair value
measurement of net assets in acquired companies, fair value measurement of available-for-sale financial assets and
hedging instruments, intra-group inventory margins, pension obligations, provisions, appropriations and tax losses

36

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
2. Accounting principles for the consolidated accounts

and credits carried forward. Deductible temporary differences are recognised as a deferred tax asset to the extent
that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available, against which the deductible temporary difference can
be utilised. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position in full.

Research and development costs

Research costs are expensed in the reporting period in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalised
when it is probable that the development project will generate future economic benefits for the Group, and certain
criteria related to commercial and technological feasibility are met. These projects relate to the development of new
or substantially improved products or production processes. Capitalised development costs mainly comprise
materials and supplies and direct labour costs as well as related overhead costs. Development costs recognised as
expenses are not subsequently capitalised.

Subsequent to initial recognition, capitalised development costs are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation
and impairment losses. Capitalised development costs are recognised as expenses on a straight-line basis over their
estimated useful lives which is generally five years. Recognition of depreciation is commenced as the asset is ready
for use. The accounting treatment of the government grants received for research and development activities is
described below under Government grants.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

Goodwill arising on a business combination is recognised at the acquisition date at an amount representing the
excess of the consideration transferred in an acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired,
liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest and any previously held equity interests in the acquiree, if any.
Goodwill is not amortised, but tested annually for impairment. In respect of associated companies, goodwill is
included in the carrying amount of the investment. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

The Group’s other intangible assets include customer relations, capitalised development costs, patents, licenses and
software. An intangible asset is recognised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits attributable to the
asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. All other expenditure is expensed as
incurred. Other intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Cost comprises the
purchase price and all costs directly attributable to bringing the asset ready for its intended use. Other intangible
assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Development and
acquisition costs of software projects clearly associated with an identifiable computer programme controlled by the
Group, are recognised as an intangible asset and amortised over the expected useful life. Such computer programme
should generate probable economic benefits to the Group beyond one year.

Intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives. Intangible assets tied to a
certain fixed period are amortised over the contract term. Amortisation periods used for intangible assets are the
following:

Intangible rights up to 20 years
Software up to 10 years

Recognition of amortisation is discontinued when the intangible asset is classified as held for sale. The estimated
useful lives and residual values are reviewed at least at the end of each financial year. If they differ substantially from
previous estimates, the amortisation periods are adjusted accordingly.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised but tested annually for impairment. At the end of the
reporting period or the previous period, Outokumpu did not have such intangible assets.

Gains and losses on disposal of intangible assets are included in other operating income and expenses.

Emission allowances

Emission allowances are intangible assets measured at cost. Allowances received free of charge are recognised at
nominal value, i.e. at zero carrying amount. A provision to cover the obligation to return emission allowances is
recognised at fair value at the end of the reporting period provided that the emission allowances received free of
charge will not cover the actual emissions. The purchased emission allowance quotas recognised in intangible rights
are derecognised as they have been offset against the obligation or, when the emission allowances are sold. The
obligation to deliver allowances equal to emissions is recognised under other operating expenses. Gains from the
sale of excess allowances are recognised as other operating income in the statement of income.

37

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
2. Accounting principles for the consolidated accounts

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment acquired by the Group companies are measured at cost. The cost includes all
expenditure directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Government grants received are reduced from the
cost. Property, plant and equipment acquired in business combinations are measured at fair value at the acquisition
date. Borrowing costs (mainly interest costs) directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying
asset are capitalised in the statement of financial position as part of the carrying amount of the asset. Qualifying
asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. Other
borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Property, plant and equipment
are carried in the statement of financial position at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives. Depreciation
is based on the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings 25–40 years
Heavy machinery 15–20 years
Light machinery and equipment 3–15 years

Land is not depreciated as the useful life of land is assumed to be indefinite. Mine properties are depreciated using
the units-of-production method based on the depletion of ore reserves over their estimated useful lives. Recognition
of depreciation on an item of property, plant and equipment is discontinued when the item is classified as held for
sale. Expected useful lives and residual values are reviewed at least at the end of each financial year and, if they
differ significantly from previous estimates, the depreciation periods are revised accordingly.

Ordinary repairs and maintenance costs are recognised as expenses during the reporting period in which they are
incurred. The cost of major renovations is included in the asset’s carrying amount when it is probable that the Group
will derive future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset
and the cost can be reliably measured. Costs arising on such major renovations are accounted for as capital
expenditure and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Gains and losses on sale and disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined by the difference between
the received net proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset. Gains and losses on sale are presented in other
operating income or expenses, thus included in operating profit.

Government grants

Government or other grants are recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods necessary to match
them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate. Investment grants related to acquisitions of
property, plant and equipment are deducted from the cost of the asset in question in the statement of financial
position and recognised as income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset in the form of reduced
depreciation expense.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets

Carrying amounts of assets are regularly reviewed to determine whether there is any evidence of impairment. If any
such evidence of impairment emerges, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested at least
annually, irrespective of whether there is any evidence of impairment.

The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For goodwill testing
purposes the recoverable amount is based on value in use which is determined by reference to discounted future net
cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. In Outokumpu goodwill is tested on operating segment level. The
discount rate used is a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market view on the time value of money and the asset-
specific risks. An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable
amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The estimated useful life of the asset that is
subject to depreciation or amortisation is also reassessed.

A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine
the recoverable amount. However, the reversal must not cause that the adjusted carrying amount is higher than the
carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognised in prior years.
Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not reversed.

2. Accounting principles for the consolidated accounts

Leases

Group as a lessee

Leases of property plant and equipment, in which the Group has substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership,
are classified as finance leases. An asset acquired through finance lease is recognised as property, plant and
equipment in the statement of financial position, within a group determined by the asset’s characteristics, at the
commencement of the lease term at the lower of fair value and the present value of minimum lease payments.
Respective lease liabilities less finance charges are included in other interest-bearing financial liabilities. Each lease
payment is allocated between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is
allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining
balance of the liability. Property, plant and equipment acquired under finance lease contracts are depreciated over the
shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term.

Leases of assets where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership are classified as
operating leases. Payments made under operating lease contracts are expensed on a straight-line basis over the
lease terms.

Group as a lessor

Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group has substantially transferred all the rewards and risks of
ownership to the lessee are classified as finance leases. Assets leased through such contracts are recognised as
interest-bearing receivables and measured at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of
minimum lease payments. Interest income from finance lease is recognised in the statement of income so as to
achieve a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the finance lease.

Rental income received from property, plant and equipment leased out by the Group under operating leases is
recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Financial instruments

Financial assets

The Group’s financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and
receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. Outokumpu did not hold financial instruments classified as held-
to-maturity investments in the current or previous reporting period. Classification is made upon initial recognition
based on the purpose of use of the financial asset.

If an item is not measured at fair value through profit or loss, significant transaction costs are included in the initial
carrying amount of the financial asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the Group loses the rights to receive
the contractual cash flows on the financial asset or it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership
outside the Group.

At the end of the reporting period, the Group estimates whether there is objective evidence on impairment of items
other than financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. A financial asset is assumed to be impaired if
there is objective evidence on impairment and the effect on the estimated future cash flows generated by the financial
assets can be reliably measured. Objective evidence on impairment may be e.g. a significant deterioration in the
counterparty’s results, a contract breach by the debtor and, in case of equity instruments (available-for-sale financial
assets), a significant or long-term decrease in the value of an instrument below its carrying amount. In such
situations, the fair value development of equity instruments is reviewed for the past three quarters of the reporting
period. The Group has determined percentual limits for the review, the breach of which will result in the recognition of
an impairment loss. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

The category of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss includes derivatives, to which hedge accounting is
not applied, as well as other financial items at fair value through profit or loss held for trading purposes. A financial
asset is classified in this category if it has been acquired with the main purpose of selling the asset within a short
period of time.

39

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
2. Accounting principles for the consolidated accounts

These financial assets are recognised at the trade date at fair value and subsequently remeasured at fair value at the
end of each reporting period. The fair value measurement is based on quoted rates and market prices as well as on
appropriate valuation methodologies and models. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in
fair values are recognised in profit or loss in the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in
active markets. Loans and receivables arise when the Group gives out a loan or delivers goods or services directly to
a debtor.

Loans and receivables are recognised at the settlement date and measured at amortised cost by using the effective
interest rate method.

Outokumpu uses factoring for working capital management. Sold trade receivables have been derecognised when
risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.

AAvailable-for

-sale financial assets
vailable-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets which are either designated in this category or
not classified in any other category of financial assets. The purchases and sales of these items are recognised at the
trade date. Available-for-sale financial assets are included in non-current assets, unless the Group has the intention
to dispose of the investment within 12 months from the reporting date.

This category includes share investments both in listed and unlisted companies. Investments in shares are measured
at fair value, or if fair value cannot be reliably measured, at cost less any impairment losses. The fair value
measurement is based on quoted rates and market prices at the end of the reporting period, as well as on
appropriate valuation techniques, such as recent transaction prices and cash flow discounting. These valuation
techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity-
specific estimates. Fair value changes of share instruments measured at fair value are recognised in other
comprehensive income and presented in equity within fair value reserve, net of tax, until the shares in question are
disposed of or impaired, in which case, the accumulated changes in fair value are transferred from equity to be
recognised in profit or loss as reclassification adjustments.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts are included in current liabilities in the
statement of financial position. Liquid interest-bearing securities are classified as financial assets at fair value and
included in cash equivalents.

Financial liabilities

The Group’s financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or other
financial liabilities (financial liabilities recognised at amortised cost). A financial liability (or part of the liability) is not
derecognised until the liability has ceased to exist, that is, when the obligation identified in a contract has been
fulfilled or cancelled or is no longer effective.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

In Outokumpu Group, the category of financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss includes derivates that do
not meet the criteria of hedge accounting. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair
value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss in the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities

Financial liabilities recognised at amortised cost include the loans of the Group. They are recognised at the
settlement date and are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method in the statement of financial
position. Significant transaction costs are included in the original carrying amount.

Significant costs related to revolving credit facilities are amortised over the expected loan term.

2. Accounting principles for the consolidated accounts

Derivative instruments and hedge accounting

Derivatives
Derivatives

All the Group’s derivatives, including embedded derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value on the trade date, on
which the Group becomes a contractual counterparty, and are subsequently measured at fair value. Gains and losses
arising on fair value measurement are accounted for depending on the purpose of use of the derivative contract. The
gains and losses arising from fair value changes of derivative contracts, to which hedge accounting is applied and
which are effective hedging instruments, are presented congruent with the hedged item. Changes in fair value of
derivative contracts not qualifying for hedge accounting are recognised in operating profit in other operating income
and expenses. If a derivative is designated for financing activities, the profit or loss effects arising from the instrument
are recognised within financial income and financial expenses.

The fair value measurement of derivatives is based on quoted market prices and rates as well as on discounted cash
flows at the end of the reporting period. The fair value of currency, interest rate and metal options is determined by
utilising commonly applied option valuation models, such as Black-Scholes-Merton model.

Hedge accounting
Hedge accounting

Some derivatives and other financial instruments can be designated as hedging instruments, in which case, hedge
accounting is applied to the instruments. Hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39 refers to the method of
accounting, which aims to assign one or several hedging instruments so that their fair value compensates completely
or partly for the fair value or changes in cash flows of the hedged item. Outokumpu applies hedge accounting to the
hedging of forecast electricity purchases in the Finnish production plants and to currency hedges of foreign currency
denominated electricity purchase agreements. Derivatives, to which hedge accounting is not applied, have been
acquired to reduce the profit or loss and/or cash flow effects of operations or financing activities.

In the beginning of each hedging arrangement, the Group documents the relationship between the hedging
instrument and the hedged item, as well as the objectives of risk management and strategy of the hedging
arrangement based on the requirements of IAS 39. Hedging instruments are subject to prospective and retrospective
effectiveness testing. Hedge effectiveness is the degree to which changes in the fair value or cash flows of the
hedged item that are attributable to a hedged risk are offset by changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedging
instrument. The hedging relationship is considered to be highly effective if the fair value changes of the hedging
instrument offset the cash flow changes of the hedged item by 80–125%. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the
requirements of hedge accounting are no longer met.

Cash flow hedges
Cash flow hedges

In cash flow hedging, the Group is hedging against changes in cash flows, which result from the realisation of a risk
associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction. Fair value changes of
derivatives designated to hedge forecast cash flows are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented
within the fair value reserve in equity to the extent that the hedge is effective. Such fair value changes accumulated in
equity are reclassified in profit or loss in the period in which the hedged cash flows affect profit or loss. The fair value
changes related to the ineffective portion of the hedging instrument are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Net investment hedges
Net investment hedges

The equities of the subsidiaries located outside the euro area are hedged against changes in exchange rates with the
aim to reduce the effects of changes in exchange rates on the Group’s equity. Fair value changes of qualifying
financial instruments, which are designated as hedges for translation risk related to net investments in foreign
operations, are recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent that the hedge is effective. The ineffective
portion of the fair value changes of the hedging instrument is immediately recognised in financial income and
financial expenses. When a foreign operation is sold or otherwise disposed of, partly or in full, the fair value changes
accumulated in equity are transferred to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

Fair value hierarchy

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value are divided into three levels in fair value hierarchy. Fair
value hierarchy is based on the source of inputs used in determining fair values. In level one, fair values are based on
public quotations. In level two, fair values are based on market rates and prices, discounted future cash flows and, in
respect of options, on valuation models. For assets and liabilities in level three, there is no reliable market source

41

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
2. Accounting principles for the consolidated accounts

available and thus fair value measurement cannot be based on observable market data. Therefore, the measurement
methods are chosen so that the information available for the measurement and the characteristics of the measured
objects can be adequately taken into account.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined by the weighted average
method. The cost of self-produced finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other
direct costs and related production and procurement overheads, but excludes borrowing costs. Cost of purchased
products includes all purchasing costs including direct transportation, handling and other costs. Net realisable value
is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the
estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Spare parts are carried as inventory and their cost is recognised in profit
or loss as consumed. Major spare parts are recognised in property, plant and equipment when they are expected to
be used over more than one period.

Treasury shares

When the parent company or its subsidiaries purchase the company’s own shares, the consideration paid, including
any attributable transaction costs, net of taxes, is deducted from the parent company’s equity as treasury shares until
the shares are cancelled. When such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received is
recognised directly in equity.

Provisions and contingent liabilities

A provision is recognised when Outokumpu has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event,
and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate
can be made of the amount of the obligation. The Group’s provisions mainly relate to restructuring plans, onerous
contracts, environmental liabilities, litigation and tax risks. The amount recognised as a provision corresponds to the
management’s best estimate of the costs required to fulfil an existing obligation at the end of the reporting period. If
part of the obligation may potentially be compensated by a third party, the compensation is recognised as a separate
asset when it is virtually certain that the compensation will be received. Non-current provisions are discounted to net
present value at the end of the reporting period using risk-free discount rates.

The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment also comprises the initial estimate of costs of dismantling and
removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located at the end of the useful life of the item on a present
value basis. Such a liability may exist for decommissioning a plant, rehabilitating environmental damage or removing
equipment. A provision presenting the asset retirement obligation is recognised in the same amount at the same
date. Adjustments to the provision due to subsequent changes in the estimated timing or amount of the outflow of
resources, or in the change in the discount rate are deducted from or added to the cost of the corresponding asset in
a symmetrical manner. The costs will be depreciated over the asset’s remaining useful life.

Environmental provisions are based on the interpretation of the effective environmental laws and regulations related
to the Group at the end of the reporting period. Such environmental expenditure, that arises from restoring the
conditions caused by prior operations are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. A
restructuring provision is recognised when a detailed restructuring plan has been prepared and its implementation
has been started or the main parts of the plan have been communicated to those, who are impacted by the plan.
Restructuring provision mainly comprise termination costs of employees.

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only
by the occurrence of uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity. Such present obligation that
probably does not require settlement of a payment obligation and the amount of which cannot be reliably measured is
also considered to be a contingent liability. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

42

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
2. Accounting principles for the consolidated accounts

Employee benefits

Post-employment and other long-term employee benefits

Group companies in different countries have various post-employment benefit plans in accordance with local
conditions and practices. The plans are classified as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans.

The fixed contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as expenses in the period to which they relate.
The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the receiving party is not able to pay
the benefits in question. All such arrangements that do not meet these requirements are defined benefit plans.

Defined benefit plans are funded with payments to the pension insurance companies. The present value of the
defined benefit obligations is determined separately for each plan by using the projected unit credit method. The plan
assets are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period. The fair value of the plan assets at the end of the
reporting period, unrecognised actuarial gains and losses and unvested past service costs are deducted from the
defined benefit liability recognised at present value in the statement of financial position. The Group recognises
actuarial gains and losses according to the corridor approach. Actuarial gains and losses exceeding certain limits are
recognised in the statement of income over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees
participating in the plan. The limit is equal to the higher 10% of the pension liability and 10% of the plan assets at fair
value. For other long-term employee benefits the above described corridor method is not used.

Share-based payment transactions

The share options are measured at fair value on the grant date and recognised as an expense in the statement of
income over the vesting period. The expense of the share options determined at the grant date reflects the Group’s
estimate of the number of share options that will ultimately vest. The fair value is determined using the Black-
Scholes-Merton option pricing model and relevant statistical methods. The effects of the non-market criteria are not
included in the fair value of the option but taken into account in the number of options that are assumed to vest.
Outokumpu updates on a quarterly basis the estimate of the final number of the options that will vest at the end of the
reporting period. When the options are exercised, the proceeds received, net of any transaction costs, based on
share subscriptions are recognised in share capital (par value, nowadays the counter-book value) and in share
premium reserve. Outokumpu’s share options have been granted while the previous Finnish Limited Liability
Companies Act was enacted. Outokumpu has not granted share options while the current Finnish Limited Liability
Companies Act has been enacted.

The share-based incentive programmes are accounted for partly as equity-settled and partly as cash-settled. The
equity and cash-settled parts both include market and non-market based vesting conditions. The fair values of
programmes over vesting periods are determined at the grant date and the portion paid in cash is remeasured based
on market conditions at the end of each reporting period. Market prices and applicable statistical models are used in
determining the fair values. The impact of non-market vesting conditions is assessed at the end of each reporting
period. The programmes include maximum limits for the payouts and the limits have been taken into account in the
fair value measurement of the benefits.

Operating profit

In Outokumpu Group, operating profit is the net sum which is formed by adding other operating income to sales and
then deducting the cost of purchase adjusted by change in the inventory and the cost of manufacture for own use, the
cost of employee benefits, depreciation, amortisation, possible impairments, and other operating expenses. All other
items of the statement of income are presented below the operating profit. Exchange gains and losses and fair value
changes of derivatives are included in operating profit, if they arise from business-related items. Otherwise they are
recognised in financial items.

43

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
2. Accounting principles for the consolidated accounts

Non-recurring items

Non-recurring items are defined as items which are unusual because of their nature, size or incidence. Only material
events are classified as non-recurring.

Dividends

The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is not deducted from distributable equity until approved by the
Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the company by
the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period, excluding shares purchased by Outokumpu and
held as treasury shares. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by using the treasury stock method. In addition to
the weighted average number of shares outstanding, the denominator includes the incremental shares obtained
through the assumed exercise of options. The assumption of exercise is not reflected in earnings per share when the
exercise price of the shares subscribed using options exceeds the average market price of the shares during the
period. The options have a diluting effect only when the fair value of the share is lower than the exercise price of the
options.

3. Segment information

3. Segment information

Outokumpu’s business activities were organised into two reportable segments in 2011: General Stainless and

Specialty Stainless. The performance of the segments is reviewed based on segment operating profit which is

defined in the accounting principles for the consolidated accounts. The review is done regularly by the CEO based

on internal management reporting.

Outokumpu is one of the world's largest producers of stainless steel and widely recognised as a leader in technical

support as well as research and development. End-user industries using stainless steel are, for example:

architectural, building and construction industries, chemical, petrochemical and energy industries, process industries

and resources, transportation as well as catering and appliances.

General Stainless

General Stainless comprises three business units: Tornio Works, Long Products and Kloster. The main products are

cold and hot rolled coil and sheet. Tornio Works is the largest stainless steel integrate in the world, including also the

Kemi chromite mine and the ferrochrome smelter in Tornio in Finland. Long Products consists of a melt shop, alloy

steel rods and bar finishing facilities in Sheffield in the UK, a hot rolling mill for long products in Degerfors in Sweden

as well as wire rod and bar production in Europe and in the US. Kloster is a cold rolling mill in Långshyttan in

Sweden.

Specialty Stainless

Specialty Stainless comprises three business units: Special Coil, Special Plate and Outokumpu Stainless Tubular

Products (OSTP). The main products of the segment are hot and cold rolled sheet, quarto plate, tubes and various

fittings and precision strip. Steel used by the Specialty Stainless units comes mostly from the melt shops in Avesta,

Sweden and Sheffield, the UK, the latter being a part of the General Stainless segment. Specialty Stainless is strong

in tailored solutions and demanding customer applications in stainless flat and tubular products. Specialty Stainless

serves customers with high requirements on the stainless steel properties such as steel grade, shape, thickness or

surface finish.

Other operations

Other operations consists of activities outside General Stainless and Specialty Stainless segments as well as

industrial holdings. Such business development and Corporate Management expenses that are not allocated to the

businesses are also reported under Other operations. In addition, it contains remaining Brass operations which do

not belong to Outokumpu’s main business. Sales of Other operations consist of electricity, nickel warrants, and brass

rod sales, internal commissions and services.

New organisation from 1 January 2012 onwards

From 1 January 2012 onwards, Outokumpu's new organisation is based on three Business Areas: General

Stainless, Specialty Stainless and Ferrochrome. The new Business Areas consist of:

- General Stainless: stainless steel operations in Tornio and the finishing plant in Terneuzen,
- Specialty Stainless: Special Coil (Avesta Works and Nyby), Special Plate, Kloster and Long Products including the

Sheffield melt shop, and

- Ferrochrome: the Kemi Chrome Mine and ferrochrome production in Tornio.

The Business Areas are strongly linked both operationally and financially, with significant internal material flows

between the Areas and as announced in December 2011, Outokumpu intends to report its business based on one

single segment as of 1 January 2012.

Outokumpu does not have individual significant customers as defined in IFRS 8.

Acquisitions

Year 2011

In 2011 Outokumpu made no acquisitions.

Year 2010

Outokumpu's ownership in Outokumpu Industriunderhåll AB (previously ABB Industriunderhåll AB) increased from

49% to 51% on 1 March 2010 and since then the company has been consolidated as a subsidiary. Non-controlling

interest is presented separately from the net profit and disclosed as a separate item in the equity. The acquisition

price for the 2% increase in the ownership was 22 thousand euros.

Disposals

Year 2011

Tubular joint venture, OSTP

On 30 September 2011, Outokumpu and Tubinoxia signed an agreement in which Tubinoxia acquired a non-

controlling shareholding in Outokumpu’s tubular unit (OSTP) receiving significant influence in the unit.

Outokumpu continues to hold control in OSTP being the majority shareholder. OSTP continues to be consolidated in

Outokumpu financial accounts as subsidiary and Tubinoxia's non-controlling shareholding is presented separately

from the net profit and disclosed as a separate item in the equity.

In the first phase Tubinoxia owns 36% of the shares in OSTP but has an option to acquire shares up to 51% in a

three years’ time period. Outokumpu has an option to redeem the shares initially acquired, at original value, if

Tubinoxia will not acquire the majority.

Outokumpu manages OSTP through a board of directors. The majority of the members including the chairman will

be appointed by Outokumpu as long as Outokumpu is the majority shareholder.

Nordic Brass Gusum AB

In November 2011, Outokumpu has sold its 50% holding in Nordic Brass Gusum AB, a brass rod mill in Sweden, to

the operative management. Nordic Brass Gusum AB had been classified as an associated company in Outokumpu's

financial statements.

In connection with the sale of Nordic Brass Gusum AB, Outokumpu also sold its subsidiary Gusums
Industrifastighets AB, a company owning an area of land in Gusum, Sweden.

The consideration and cash flow impact of this transaction were marginal, however, Outokumpu booked a loss of

EUR 13 million in the 2011 financial statements. In 2010, the turnover of Nordic Brass Gusum amounted to EUR 110

million and the business currently employs some 150 people.

Year 2010

In 2010 Outokumpu made no disposals.

6. Function expenses by nature

Also in 2011 Outokumpu sold the Group's rights to royalties from Forrestania nickel and precious metals resources

to the Australian company Western Areas NL for EUR 23 million (USD 30 million). As these royalties were valued at

zero in the Outokumpu statement of financial position, non-recurring gain of EUR 23 million was booked in the

Group's 2011 operating results.

In 2010 Outokumpu decided not to re-start the postponed expansion investments in Avesta, Sweden in the

foreseeable future. Therefore Outokumpu recognised a EUR 17 million write-down related to the new annealing and

pickling line. The investment had originally been decided in September 2007 and postponed in December 2008. The

write-down was presented in other operating expenses in 2010.

Deferred tax assets of EUR 108 million (2010: EUR 101 million) have not been recognised in the consolidated

financial statements because the realisation of the tax benefit included in these assets is not probable in the

foreseeable future. Majority of these unrecognised deferred tax assets relate to tax losses amounting to EUR 387

million (2010: EUR 341 million), which can be carried forward in the future. EUR 21 million of these tax losses (2010:

EUR 63 million) will expire within next five years and the rest earliest in 2017. The consolidated statement of

financial position includes deferred tax assets of EUR 99 million (31 Dec 2010: EUR 58 million) in subsidiaries,

which have generated losses in current or in prior year. The recognition of these assets is based on result estimates,

which indicate that the realisation of these deferred tax assets is probable in the foreseeable future.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting average number of shares outstanding to assume conversion

of all diluting potential shares. The options have a diluting effect, when the exercise price with an option is lower than

the market value of the Company share. The diluting effect is the number of shares that the Company has to issue

gratuitously because the received funds from the exercised options do not cover the fair value of the shares. The fair

value of the Company's share is determined as the average market price of the shares during the period.

Outokumpu had diluting options in the beginning of 2011. The last options of 2003 option programme were

subscribed in March 2011. New option programmes were not started in 2011.

11. Intangible assets

Impairment testing of goodwill

Goodwill is allocated to the Group's cash-generating units which are determined according to the business

organisation. The recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit is determined based on value-in-use calculations.

These calculations are based on the cash flow projections in the strategic plans approved by the management for

2012. The deliveries for 2012 are based on Outokumpu’s internal forecast. Projections for 2013–2016 are based on

conservative price forecast. Delivery forecast for 2013–2016 is based on objective external view on market

development. Fixed costs for 2012 are based on 2012 budget and, in addition, the already started efficiency

improvement projects have been taken into account conservatively during 2012–2014. Fixed costs are planned to

increase by inflation rate in the following years. Investments which are already started have also been included in

the cash flow projections with conservative ramp-up plan during 2012–2014. The change in working capital is driven

by volume. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are calculated using the terminal value method, in which the

growth rate assumption is 1%.

Discount rate is the weighted average pre-tax cost of capital (WACC) as defined for Outokumpu. The components of

WACC are risk-free yield rate, market risk premium, industry specific beta, cost of debt and targeted capital

structure. The discount rate was calculated using the same methodology as in 2010. However, when using the same

method, the WACC does not reflect current economic circumstances and therefore based on prudency principle, the

2010 WACC was used in the 2011 calculations. WACC used in 2011 was therefore 8.4% (2010: 8.4%).

The most important assumptions in value-in-use calculations are discount rate, the deliveries of stainless steel and

margins. In sensitivity analyses, all these assumptions were tested. According to the performed sensitivity analysis, it
does not appear probable that a decrease of four percent in stainless steel deliveries or margins for 2012–2016

would lead to impairment. Also, if used discount factor would be one percent point higher, it would not lead to

impairment. If both deliveries and margins would decrease simultaneously by four percent for 2012–2016, the

recoverable amounts would decrease somewhat below their carrying value as at 31 December 2011.

As a result of the performed impairment test to Group's cash-generating units, no impairment losses have been

recognised. In connection with Outokumpu Tubular business' (OSTP) asset valuation, a EUR 5 million goodwill

which could be allocated to OSTP, has been impaired in income statement in 2011.

Emission allowances

Outokumpu’s sites covered by EU's Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) are the production plants in Tornio in Finland,

Avesta, Degerfors and Nyby in Sweden as well as Sheffield in the UK. In the European Union, the on-going emission

trading period started in 2008. Outokumpu will receive 1.3 million tonnes of emission allowances annually until 2012,

which is estimated to be enough for the current production capacity within the Group's European production sites.

Emissions trading continues also after 2012 and the next period is 2013–2020. Outokumpu follows closely the

development of the EU Climate and Energy package, and the renewal of the ETS. In order to decrease the cost of

compliance to ETS, Outokumpu has also invested in the Testing Ground Facility (TGF), a Nordic carbon fund

managed by the Nordic Environmental Finance Corporation. States and companies can invest in the carbon fund,
which purchases emission reduction units for its investors from projects that benefit the environment.

The actual carbon dioxide emissions in the units that belong to the Emissions Trading Scheme were some 802 000

tonnes in 2011 (2010: 795 000 tonnes). The emissions did not exceed the amount of allowances received free of

charge in 2011. However, Outokumpu did not sell any emission allowances in 2011 (2010: 500 000 tonnes for EUR 8

million). In 2011 Outokumpu received 10 000 tonnes of emission reduction units from TGF (2010: 19 000 tonnes).

The TGF emission reduction units received in 2010 have been delivered to authorities in 2011 to cover the actual

carbon dioxide emission in 2010.

See Note 19. Financial risk management, capital management and insurances for information on the management

of the emission allowance price risk.

1) Outokumpu sold its 50% holding in Nordic Brass Gusum AB in 2011. The consideration and cash flow of the
disposal were marginal and resulted in a capital loss of EUR 13 million in financial statements.

2) Outokumpu sold one fifth of its 20% ownership, representing 4% of shares, in Talvivaara Sotkamo Ltd in 2011. The
remaining 16% holding is classified as an investment valued at fair value through profit or loss. Proceeds from the

disposal totaled EUR 60 million and resulted in a capital gain of EUR 178 million of the sale of shares and the fair-

value accounting of the remaining shares.

c) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

d) Derivatives held for trading

e) Hedge accounted derivatives

f) Other financial liabilities

Difference between the fair value and the carrying amount in non-current interest-bearing trade and other

receivables relates to a loan receivable from Luvata Fabrication Oy. In determining the fair value of the receivable,

subordination to bank and certain other debt, capitalisation of interest, market credit spreads, and level of market

interest rates have been considered. Also the scenario of premature repayment has been taken into account in the

valuation. Carrying amount on current receivables is a reasonable approximation of their fair value. The fair value of

non-current interest-bearing liabilities are determinated by using discounted cash flow method taken into

consideration the market credit spread applied for Outokumpu. Carrying amount of current interest-bearing liabilities

is reasonable approximation of their fair value.

Accounting principles contain information on how fair values are defined on different levels in fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the level three relates mostly to ownerships in energy producing companies, investments in

Talvivaara Sotkamo Ltd and to the option granted to Talvivaara Mining Company Plc. The valuation model of energy

producing companies is based on discounted cash flow model, which takes into account the future prices of
electricity, discount rate and inflation rate, the estimated amount of electricity to be received and estimated

production costs. The valuation model is very sensitive to electricity price, +/- 10% change in electricity price leads to

an increase of EUR 11 million or decrease of EUR 3 million in valuation. Valuation of the investment to Talvivaara

Sotkamo Ltd is based on the share value of Talvivaara Mining Company Plc. Change of +/- 10% in the share price of

Talvivaara Mining Company Ltd leads to an increase of EUR 11 million or decrease of EUR 11 million in the value.

Valuation of granted option is based on the price and volatility of Talvivaara Mining Company Plc share and on

current interest rate level.

During 2011 Outokumpu sold its holdings in Tibnor Ab and Talvivaara Mining Company Plc and booked a gain of

EUR 36 million and EUR 29 million respectively in the statement of income. Unlisted equity securities at fair value

consist mainly of holdings in energy producing companies, whose valuation method was changed from at cost to fair

value in 2011. The valuation method of energy producing companies is described in Note 15. Hierarchy of financial

assets and liabilities measured at fair value. During 2011 EUR 7 million was recognised as an impairment in the

statement of income as the fair value of the energy producing companies decreased below the acquisition value due

to lower electricity price.

On 1 June 2011 Outokumpu sold one fifth of its 20% holding in the unlisted Talvivaara Sotkamo Ltd to Talvivaara

Mining Company Plc. The total consideration of this transaction was EUR 60 million. Simultaneously, Outokumpu

granted an option to Talvivaara Mining Company Plc to purchase the remaining 16% ownership in Talvivaara

Sotkamo Ltd. The option is valid until the end of the first quarter 2012 and can be executed at the same price per

share entirely or partially and in one or several instalments. If fully exercised, it would result in a total consideration
of EUR 240 million. Consequently, the total transaction price if divesting the whole 20% holding in Talvivaara

Sotkamo Ltd would be EUR 300 million.

Outokumpu’s 20% holding in Talvivaara Sotkamo Ltd had been classified in Outokumpu’s books as associated

companies. After the change in ownership, Outokumpu will no longer have a significant influence in Talvivaara

Sotkamo Ltd and thus the remaining 16% holding, is classified as an investment valued at fair value through profit or

loss on Outokumpu’s financial statements. As a result of the sale of shares in Talvivaara Sotkamo Ltd and the initial

fair valuation of the remaining shares, reduced by the valuation of the granted option, Outokumpu recorded a capital

gain of EUR 178 million as financial income.

On 1 June 2011 Outokumpu also sold its entire holding of 10 522 366 shares, representing 4.3% of total shares, in

Talvivaara Mining Company Plc to Solidium Oy. The total consideration of this transaction was EUR 60 million.

Outokumpu recorded a capital gain of EUR 28 million as financial income for the transaction. The holding in the

Talvivaara Mining Company Plc had been classified as available-for-sale financial assets in Outokumpu’s accounts.

Subsequent valuation of the 16% ownership in Talvivaara Sotkamo Ltd reflects the share price of Talvivaara Mining

Company Plc, which on 31 December 2011 was 2.49 euros per share.

On 31 December 2011 Outokumpu had an active share-based incentive programme for years 2009–2013, which is

part of the Group's incentive and commitment-building system for key employees. The objective of the programme is

to reward for good performance, which supports the Group's strategy and at the same time to direct management's

attention to increasing the Outokumpu's shareholder value over a longer period of time. In addition to the above

mentioned programme, Outokumpu has a small-scale restricted share plan, which has been targeted for

encouraging long-term employee commitment to Outokumpu.

The first vesting period of the 2009–2013 programme ended on 31 December 2011. The set performance targets

were not met and therefore no reward will be paid to the participants.

The total estimated value of share-based incentive programme 2009–2013 and restricted share plan is EUR 5

million on 31 December 2011. This value is recognised as an expense in the income statement during the vesting

periods.

On 31 January 2012, the Board of Directors confirmed a new share-based incentive programme (Performance

Share Plan 2012). The first vesting period covers years 2012–2014. The number of persons included in the first

vesting period is 98 and the maximum amount of shares to be distributed is 1 300 000. In addition, the Board of

Directors confirmed a small-scale Restricted Share Pool programme, which enables long-term retaining and

rewarding of selected key employees of Outokumpu Group. These programmes are not reflected in 2011 financial

statements.

The last subscription period of Outokumpu’s 2003 stock option programme ended on 1 March 2011 and the

remaining 40 500 shares were subscribed during the first quarter in 2011. No new stock option programmes were

started in 2011.

19. Financial risk management, capital management and insurances

The objective of financial risk management is to reduce the impact of price fluctuations and other factors of

uncertainty in financial markets on earnings, cash flows and statement of financial position, as well as to ensure

sufficient liquidity. The objective of capital management is to secure the ability to continue as a going concern and to

optimise the cost of capital in order to enhance value to shareholders. The main objective of insurance management

is to provide protection against catastrophe risks and to reduce earnings variation caused by hazards.

The Board has approved the risk management policy, which defines responsibilities, risk management process and

other main principles of risk management. The Board oversees risk management on a regular basis and the Chief

Financial Officer is responsible for implementation and development of financial risk management. In 2011 the

Group’s Financial Risk Policy was reviewed and changes to it were approved by the Chief Executive Officer. Based

on the reviewed policy Outokumpu discontinued all internal hedging of metal price risk and currency denominated

forecasted cash flow risk during 2011.

Financial risks consist of market, country, credit, liquidity and refinancing risks. Business units hedge their currency

risk against Treasury and Risk Management function, which does most of the derivative contracts with banks and
other financial institutions. The function is also responsible for managing liquidity and refinancing risk as well as

interest rate, metal, fuel and emission allowance price risk. Credit risk management is decentralised but Treasury

and Risk Management function monitors the risk. The Group’s Energy function is responsible for managing electricity

price risk.

The Treasury and Risk Management function purchases a substantial part of the Group’s insurances. The most

important insurance lines are property damage and business interruption, liability, transport and credit. The Group’s

captive insurance company retains a selected part of risk.

Exposure to financial risk is identified as part of the Group’s risk management process. This approach aims to

secure, that any emerging risk is identified early and each significant risk is quantified, managed and communicated

properly. In risk quantification, both likelihood of an adverse event and the impact on that event are assessed. For

market risk, the adverse scenario is based on a predefined price change in a risk factor, e.g. in exchange rate or

metal price. Furthermore, the impact analysis is based on measured underlying exposure, e.g. the amount of

forecasted currency cash flow or the amount of net debt by currency. The likelihood of the adverse scenario is based

on the market volatility of the underlying risk factor. Eventually, the impacts of key risks are quantified in terms of

changes in net earnings, cash flows and gearing.

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance

Market risk

Market risk is caused by changes in foreign exchange and interest rates, as well as commodity, energy and security

prices. These price changes may have a significant impact on the Group’s earnings, cash flows and statement of

financial position.

Outokumpu uses derivative contracts to mitigate the above-mentioned impacts of market price changes. Hedge

accounting is applied to hedges of forecasted electricity purchases of Finnish production sites (electricity price risk)

and committed currency denominated electricity purchases (EUR/SEK spot rate risk). The derivatives, for which

hedge accounting is not applied, have been entered into for the purpose of reducing impacts of market price

changes on earnings and/or cash flows related to business or financing activities. The use of non-hedge-accounted

derivatives may cause timing differences between derivative gains/losses and the earnings impact of the underlying

exposure.

Stainless steel business is highly cyclical, which in many cases result in significant changes in the underlying

exposures to different market risk factors. Consequently applying hedging policies in a consistent way may, from

time to time, lead to rather big changes in the amounts of outstanding and reported derivate contracts. Nominal

amounts and fair values of all derivatives are presented in Note 20. Sensitivity of financial instruments to market

prices is described in the following table.

This sensitivity analyses apply to financial instruments only. Other assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items such
as sales and purchase orders, are not in the scope of these analyses. The calculations are net of tax. During the
year the volatility for nickel has been in the range 30–43%. With +/-40% change in USD nickel price, the effect in

profit or loss is about EUR 1 million gain for open nickel derivatives, due to used option structures.

Foreign exchange rate risk

A major part of the Group’s sales is in euros and US dollars. A significant part of expenses arise in euros, US dollars

and Swedish kronas. In Europe, Outokumpu’s products are priced mainly in euros and therefore costs in Swedish

krona (some 4 billion kronas a year) in particular gives rise to a significant foreign exchange risk impacting

profitability.

Outokumpu hedges most of its fair value risk, e.g. risks related to currency denominated accounts receivables,

accounts payables, interest-bearing debt, cash and loan receivables. Cash flow risk related to firm commitments is

hedged to a large extent, whereas forecasted and probable cash flows can be hedged selectively and with separate

decisions only. In 2011 Outokumpu hedged part of the forecasted cash flows related to business operations in

Sweden. The Group’s fair value currency position is presented on a more detailed level in table below.

Outokumpu has not hedged income statement translation risk. The total non-euro-denominated equity of the Group’s
foreign subsidiaries was EUR 842 million on 31 December 2011 (2010: EUR 826 million). Some 38% of the total net

investment exposure is denominated in Swedish krona, 29% in British pounds and 18% in Australian dollars. At the

end of the year there were no hedges related to net investment exposure. The effective portion of gains and losses

(EUR 15 million, net of tax) on earlier net investment hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income.

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance

Interest rate risk

The Group’s interest rate risk is monitored as cash flow risk i.e. impact of rate changes on net interest expenses, and

fair value risk i.e. impact of rate changes on fair value of monetary assets and liabilities. In order to manage the

balance between risk and cost in an optimal way, a significant part of loans have short-term interest rate as a

reference rate. This approach typically helps to reduce average interest rate of debt while it may also provide some

mitigation against a risk of adverse changes in business environment, which tend to result in quick decrease in

short-term interest rates.

Cash flow risk related to financial instruments is reduced with interest rate swaps, where Outokumpu pays fixed rate

and receives variable rate. In 2011 Outokumpu entered into some SEK 1.5 billion fixed rate payer swap transactions

in order to increase duration of Swedish krona debt. Duration of the euro denominated debt was somewhat reduced

by entering into a fixed rate receiver swap transaction.

Swedish krona and euro have substantial contribution to the overall interest rate risk. Approximately 80% of the

Group’s interest-bearing liabilities have an interest period of less than one year and the average interest rate of long-

term interest bearing debt on 31 December 2011 was 3.5% (31 Dec 2010: 2.9%). Interest rate position is presented

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
19. Financial risk management, capital management and insurances

Commodity and energy price risk

Outokumpu uses a substantial amount of raw materials and energy for which prices are determined in regulated

markets, such as London Metal Exchange and NASDAQ OMX Commodities Europe. Timing differences between

raw material purchase and pricing of products, changes in inventory levels and the capability to pass on changes in

raw material and energy prices to end-product prices, all affect hedging requirements and activities.

Nickel price is the most important commodity price risk for Outokumpu. A majority of stainless steel sales contracts

include an alloy surcharge clause, with the aim of reducing the risk arising from the time difference between raw

material purchase and product delivery. The Group’s nickel exposure includes price fixed purchase orders, nickel-

containing material in inventories, price fixed sales orders and forecasted but not yet ordered deliveries for the

upcoming few weeks. This, typically long (surplus), position in nickel is partly reduced with derivatives so that the

permanent amount of nickel in business activities (base stock) is being left mainly unhedged.

Nickel derivatives and LME warehouse warrants are used to manage impacts of price changes on earnings. Metal

price changes have a major impact on the Group’s working capital and thus cash flow from operations. This risk is

not hedged with derivatives. Outokumpu manages molybdenum risk with similar type of principles which applied in

managing nickel price risk. However, the financial market for molybdenum is far less liquid compared with nickel,

which in many cases has led to decision not to use derivatives in managing this particular risk. The underlying

exposure to changes in metal prices varies a lot due to the cyclical nature of stainless steel business. Consequently,

the amount of nickel derivatives tends to change quite much over time.

Many of Outokumpu’s main sites are participating in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). Realised and

forecasted carbon dioxide emissions and granted emission allowances are monitored and assessed also centrally.

Emission allowance price risk is managed with the aim of securing the cost of compliance for the current trading

period and reducing the cost of compliance e.g. by investing in a carbon fund and by swapping EUAs to Kyoto

credits within the limits set in ETS.

The Group has energy intensive production processes using electrical energy, liquefied petroleum gas, natural gas

and other fuels. In 2011 the Group begun hedging propane price risk with derivative contracts. Electricity used by the

Nordic production sites is purchased and managed centrally while at other sites electrical energy is purchased

locally. Electricity price risk is reduced with fixed price supply contracts, ownerships in energy producing companies

and with the use of derivatives. Electricity derivatives are used to manage short- and medium-term price risk and

hedge accounting is applied to part of the contracts. Hedge accounted derivatives are presented in Note 20. Fair

values and nominal amounts of derivative instruments. On 31 December 2011 the Group had electricity derivatives
of 0.2 TWh (31 December 2010: 1.0 TWh). Electricity consumption of the Group’s Nordic production sites was 2.6
TWh (2010: 2.8 TWh).

81

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
19. Financial risk management, capital management and insurances

Security price risk

Outokumpu has investments in equity securities and loan receivables. On 31 December 2011 the biggest investment

in equity securities was Talvivaara Sotkamo Ltd. Outokumpu has granted Talvivaara Mining Company Plc. a call

option on the shares of Talvivaara Sotkamo Ltd it owns. The option expires as at 31 March 2012. Outokumpu Oyj

has a USD 197 million subordinated loan receivable from Luvata Fabrication Oy. This loan agreement was amended

in 2011 and in connection with these changes an impairment of EUR 13 million was recorded. The captive insurance

company Visenta Försäkrings AB has investments in highly rated and liquid fixed income securities, such as bonds

issued by the Governments of Sweden and Germany.

Country and credit risk

All external sales must be covered by approved credit limits or secured payment terms. Most of the outstanding

trade receivables have been secured by credit insurance policies, which typically cover some 90% of an insured

credit loss. Part of the credit risk related to trade receivables is managed with bank guarantees, letters of credit and

advance payments. Country risk related to Outokumpu’s business activities is monitored and reported on the Group

level.

On 31 December 2011 the maximum exposure to credit risk of trade receivables was EUR 654 million (2010: EUR

706 million). Large part of trade receivables is covered by insurance or secured payment terms. The Group’s trade

receivables are generated by a large number of customers. However, there have been some single customer credit
risk concentrations during the last year. Age analysis of accounts receivables is in Note 22. Trade and other

receivables.

Loan receivables are typically not insured or secured in any other way. A significant portion of all interest bearing

loan receivables was a receivable from Luvata Fabrication Oy.

Treasury and Risk Management function monitors credit risk related to receivables from financial institutions.

Outokumpu seeks to reduce these risks by limiting the counterparties to banks and other financial institutions with

good credit standing. For the derivative transactions, Outokumpu prefers to have ISDA framework agreements in

place. Investments related to liquidity management are made in short-term deposits and liquid financial instruments

with low credit risk.

82

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
19. Financial risk management, capital management and insurances

Liquidity and refinancing risk

Outokumpu raises most of its interest-bearing debt centrally. The Group seeks to reduce liquidity and refinancing risk

by having sufficient amount of cash and credit lines available and by having balanced maturity profile of long-term

debt. Efficient cash and liquidity management is also reducing liquidity risk. Finance plans are prepared and

reviewed quarterly with a particular focus on the Group’s forecasted cash flows, projected funding requirements in

following years and planned funding transactions during the next few quarters. The amount and adequacy of liquidity

reserves, the amounts of scheduled annual repayments of long-term debt as well as forecasted gearing levels are

key targets and outcomes of the planning. Due to low profitability, high gearing and uncertainties in the European

financial markets, the Group’s financial flexibility remained limited during the year 2011.

In June 2011, Outokumpu Oyj entered into a three-year EUR 750 million committed revolving credit facility

agreement available for general corporate purposes, with options to extend it by one year in June 2012 and June

2013. In addition, Outokumpu entered into EUR 50 million ten-year pension loan agreement; an eight-year EUR 66

million sales and lease back agreement; a seven-year EUR 75 million term loan agreement having annual

instalments starting from 2013; and a three-year EUR 50 million committed revolving credit facility. The domestic

commercial paper programme was used actively during the year and EUR 495 million was used on 31 December

2011.The scope a sale of receivables program was increased during the year to include units of Outokumpu

Stainless AB, in addition to Outokumpu Stainless Oy. The Group also assisted a key supplier to agree forfaiting of
receivables from Outokumpu, which helped to extend payment terms and to reduce net working capital.

The main funding programmes and standby credit facilities include a Finnish Commercial Paper Program totalling

EUR 800 million, a committed revolving credit facility of EUR 750 million, a committed revolving credit facility of EUR

100 million, a committed revolving credit facility of EUR 50 million and two committed revolving credit facilities

totalling of SEK 2 933 million. More information on liquidity and refinancing risk is presented in the following table.

Capital management

The Group’s capital management objective is to secure the ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise the

cost of capital in order to enhance value to shareholders. As part of this objective the Group seeks to maintain

access to loan and capital markets at all times despite the cyclical nature of the industry in which Outokumpu

operates. The Board of Directors reviews the capital structure of the Group on a regular basis.

Capital structure and debt capacity are taken into account when deciding new investments. Practical tools to

manage capital include application of dividend policy, share buybacks and share issues. Debt capital is managed

considering the requirement to secure liquidity and the capability to refinance maturing debt. Outokumpu seeks to

avoid having financial covenants in its debt but as at 31 December 2011 the new Revolving Credit Facility as well as

some other loan facilities and term loans included a covenant which requires Outokumpu to maintain a level of
gearing that is equal to or lower than 115% prior to and including 30 June 2013 and a level of gearing that is equal or

lower than 95% following 30 June 2013.

The Group’s internal capital structure is reviewed on a regular basis with an aim to optimise the structure e.g. by

applying internal dividends and equity adjustments. Net investment in foreign entities is monitored and the Group

has capability to hedge related translation risk.

84

Outokumpu Annual Report 2011 – Financial Performance
19. Financial risk management, capital management and insurances

Outokumpu’s captive insurance company, Visenta Försäkrings Ab, has to comply with capital adequacy

requirements set by authority. During the reporting period Visenta has been well capitalised to meet externally

imposed requirements.

The management monitors capital structure on the basis of gearing ratio, which is calculated as net debt divided by

total equity. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings, including all interest-bearing liabilities, less interest-bearing
assets, all marked with 1) in the consolidated balance sheet. The Group’s financial target is to maintain the gearing
ratio below 75%. Financial objectives include also a return on capital employed of over 13% and always the best

among peers. Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is defined and applied to monitor efficiency of capital use

and to provide market driven guidance for managing capital structure and for making capital allocation decisions.

On 31 December 2011 net interest-bearing debt was EUR 1 720 million (2010: EUR 1 837 million), total equity EUR

2 084 million (2010: EUR 2 376 million) and debt-to-equity ratio 82.5% (2010: 77.3%). The increase in debt-to-equity

ratio during 2011 resulted primarily from impairments on assets.

Insurances

Outokumpu’s business is capital intensive and key production processes are rather tightly integrated and have other

interdependencies, as well. Property damage and business interruption is the most important insurance line and
substantial part of the insurance premiums relate to these types of risks. Other significant insurance lines include

transport, credit and liability.

Visenta Försäkrings AB can act as direct insurer and as reinsurer. The company is registered in Sweden and it has

assets worth some EUR 25 million. Visenta underwrites e.g. property and business interruption insurance policies for

Group companies.

Forecasted purchases of electricity for the Finnish production sites are hedged with electricity forwards. The effective

portion of unrealised gains and losses on hedges, net of tax, is recognised in other comprehensive income. The

effective portion of realised gains and losses on hedges is recognised in income as adjustment to purchases in the

period when the hedged cash flow affects income. Ineffective portion (2011: EUR - million, 2010: EUR - million) of

hedges is recognised in other operating income and expenses.

20. Fair values and nominal amounts of derivative instruments

Outokumpu has hedged currency spot price risk related to SEK denominated long-term electricity supply agreement

for the Finnish production sites. The currency derivatives, which hedge the currency risk, mature in other periods

(years 2012–2013) than the underlying cash flows of electricity purchases. The derivatives will be prolonged later to

mature at the same period as the underlying cash flows. The effective portion of hedges is recognised in other

comprehensive income net of tax and will be recognised in income as adjustment to purchases at the same period

as the underlying hedged cash flows affect income. During 2011 effective portion of EUR 2 million gain was

recognised in income as adjustment to purchases (2010: EUR - million). The ineffective portion of the hedges, gain

of EUR 4 million, (2010: loss of EUR 8 million) is recognised in other operating income and expenses.

The most important commodity price risk for Outokumpu is caused by fluctuation in nickel and other alloy prices.

Majority of stainless steel sales contracts include an alloy surcharge clause, with the aim of reducing the risk arising

from the time difference between raw material purchase and product delivery. However, the risk is remarkable,

because the delivery cycle in production is longer than the alloy surcharge mechanism expects. Thus, only the price

for the products to be sold in near future is known. That is why a significant part of the future prices for the products

to be sold is estimated according to management's best knowledge in net realisable value (NRV) calculations. Due

to fluctuation in nickel and other alloy prices the realised prices can deviate significantly from what has been used in

NRV calculations on the closing date.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the loan and trade receivables.

Most of the outstanding trade receivables have been secured by credit insurance policies, which typically covers

some 90% of an insured credit loss. Risks related to trade receivables are presented in more detail in Note 19.

25. Employee benefit obligations

25. Employee benefit obligations

Outokumpu has established several defined benefit and defined contribution plans in various countries. The most

significant defined benefit plans are in the UK and in Germany.

The employee benefit obligation disclosure has been changed from the previous year. Post-employment medical

plans in the US previously classified as other long-term employee benefits have now been reported as defined

benefit plans. The 2010 comparison data has been restated accordingly. As a result, other long-term employee

benefits mainly relate to long-service remunerations in Finland. In Finland the employees are entitled to receive a

one time indemnity every fifth year after 20 years of service.

A post-employment medical plan in the US has been curtailed resulting in a release of obligation of EUR 4 million,

which has been recorded as an additional gain in 2011. In the UK, a curtailment loss of EUR 6 million resulting from

redundancies has been booked as an additional expense in 2011. Futhermore, minor gains and losses on

curtailments and settlements were recorded in various plans. In 2010 a defined benefit plan for salaried employees

in the US had been changed to a defined contribution plan, and an additional expense of EUR 7 million had been

recorded in 2010 as a result.

ITP-pension plans operated by Alecta in Sweden and plans operated by Stichting Bedrijfspensioenfonds voor de

metaalindustrie in the Netherlands are multi-employer defined benefit pension plans. However, it has not been

possible to get sufficient information for the calculation of obligations and assets by employer from the plan

operators, and therefore these plans have been accounted for as defined contribution plans in the financial

statements.

Provisions are based on management's best estimates at the end of the reporting period. The increase in

restructuring provisions relates to the group-wide restructuring measures as announced in April and October, 2011

and they are mainly current. Previous restructuring provisions in the UK relating to the closures of Coil Products

Sheffield and Sheffield Special Strip are partly non-current, and the outflow of economic benefits related to these

provisions is expected to take place mainly within 2 to 4 years.

Majority of the environmental provisions are for closing costs of landfill areas and removal of problem waste in

facilities in Finland and in the UK. The outflow of economic benefits related to environmental provisions is expected

to take place mainly over a period of more than 10 years. Due to the nature of these provisions, there are

uncertainties regarding both the amount and the timing of the outflow of economic benefits related to these

provisions.

Other provisions comprise mainly provisions for litigations and claims. These are mainly current provisions.

30. Disputes and litigations

In the cartel investigations in the sanitary copper tube sector, the European Commission has given its decision in
September 2004 and imposed Outokumpu an aggregate fine of EUR 36 million on participation to a cartel.
Outokumpu lodged an appeal in the matter in 2004 to the Court of First Instance for Europe regarding the amount of
the fine. In August 2009, Outokumpu paid the fine of EUR 36 million in advance. According to the Court’s decision
issued in May 2010 the fine remained unchanged.

In connection with the industrial copper tubes EU-cartel investigation, completed in May 2009, Outokumpu has since
2004 been in the process of addressing several civil complaints, raised in the US against the company and its former
fabricated copper products business in the US. The last remaining class action was one brought in the federal court
of Tennessee on behalf of certain indirect purchasers of industrial copper tubing. Outokumpu considered the
allegations in the proceedings to lack merit, but settled with the claimants in August 2010 with a nominal settlement
amount and subsequently the action was dismissed by the Federal Judge.

Based on the above-mentioned EU cartel investigations, Carrier Corporation also filed a lawsuit against Outokumpu
Oyj and Outokumpu Copper Franklin, Inc. i.a. in April 2006. The complaint alleges a worldwide price fixing and
market allocation cartel with respect to copper tubing for air conditioning and heat exchangers and related
applications (ACR Tube) for at least the period from 1989 to 2001. The complaint requests damages due to alleged
overcharges (without specifying a particular amount of damages). In July 2007, Carrier’s complaint was dismissed.
Carrier filed an appeal which is still pending in the Court of Appeals.

In addition, in 2010 certain companies in the Carrier group brought a civil action in the UK courts against Outokumpu
Oyj (and two other defendant groups). The claimants allege that they suffered losses across Europe as a result of the
cartel and are seeking recovery from the three main defendant groups either jointly or jointly and severally. The
claimants’ initial claim for alleged losses is some GBP 20 million excluding interest. Outokumpu will be challenging
the jurisdiction of the UK courts to hear this claim. In any event, Outokumpu believes that the allegations regarding
damages caused by the cartel are groundless and, if pursued, Outokumpu will defend itself in any proceedings. In
October 2011 the High Court of Justice has rendered its decision and rejected the applications to contest jurisdiction.
All the defendants have filed applications for permission to appeal this judgment in the Court of Appeal. Court of
Appeal’s decision is expected in early 2012.

No provisions have been booked in connection with these Carrier related claims.

Outokumpu exited from the copper fabrication business by divesting a major part of the business in 2005 and the
remainder in 2008. In connection with the transaction to sell the fabricated copper products business to Nordic
Capital, Outokumpu has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Nordic Capital with respect to the above referred
lawsuits.

In March 2007, Finnish Customs authorities initiated a criminal investigation into the Group’s Tornio Works’ export
practices to Russia. It was suspected that a forwarding agency based in south-eastern Finland had prepared
defective and/or forged invoices regarding the export of stainless steel to Russia. The preliminary investigation
focused on possible complicity by Outokumpu Tornio Works in the preparation of defective and/or forged invoices by
the forwarding agent. In June 2009, the Finnish Customs completed its preliminary investigation and forwarded the
matter for consideration of possible charges to the prosecution authorities. The process of considering possible
charges was completed in November 2010. Public prosecutor concluded that the suspicions by the Customs
authorities as to accounting offences and forgery were groundless. The case nevertheless proceeded to court as
charges were pressed against Outokumpu and five of its employees for alleged money laundering in connection with
the Russian export practices by Tornio Works during 2004–2006. The prosecutor, on behalf of the state, also
presented a claim for the forfeiture of the funds subject to money laundering, which claim however, was dropped by
the prosecutor during the court proceedings. Kymenlaakso District Court dismissed the rest of the claims and ordered
the Finnish State to pay a total of EUR 1.2 million in compensation for legal costs in its judgment handed down on 22
June 2011. In August 2011 the State Prosecutor appealed against the District Court judgment with respect to
Outokumpu and three of the charged employees as well as the order to compensate for legal costs against all
defendants. The legal proceedings in Kouvola Court of Appeal are scheduled to begin in February 2012. Outokumpu
states that neither the Group nor its personnel have committed the alleged crimes. The suspicion of money
laundering is based on the company having done business with parties that apparently have conducted crimes when
importing company's products into Russia.

33. Events after the end of the reporting period

On 31 January 2012, the Board of Directors of Outokumpu approved the proposed combination of Outokumpu and

Inoxum, the stainless steel unit of ThyssenKrupp AG. Based on Outokumpu’s share price of 7.36 euros per share as

of close on 30 January 2012, the transaction valued Inoxum at an enterprise value of EUR 2.7 billion. The

consideration for Inoxum will comprise a cash payment of EUR 1 billion, new Outokumpu shares issued to

ThyssenKrupp, a loan note of EUR 235 million to be issued to ThyssenKrupp and the assumption by Outokumpu of

certain liabilities of Inoxum of EUR 422 million. In connection with the transaction, Outokumpu will conduct a rights

issue of EUR 1 billion to fund the cash payment payable by Outokumpu in connection with the transaction.

The transaction has been approved by the Board of Directors of Outokumpu and the Supervisory Board of

ThyssenKrupp, and is expected to be completed during 2012. The completion of the transaction is subject to certain

closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. In addition, shareholders of Outokumpu will have to authorise the

Board of Directors of Outokumpu to issue new shares in the rights issue and, at closing of the transaction, in the

directed issue to ThyssenKrupp.
