intake in the first quarter Cargotec's full year 2007 order intake
is expected to surpass net sales. Net sales growth including
acquisitions is expected to clearly exceed 10 percent. Cargotec's
operating margin in 2007 is expected to be on the level of last
year's operating margin from operations before on-going growth and
efficiency related investments as well as purchase price
allocation treatment of acquisitions.
Cargotec's President and CEO Mikael Mäkinen:
”The amount of orders received during the first quarter is an
excellent achievement. The quarter profited from more big orders
than we had anticipated. Year 2007 is an important investment year
in order to achieve our strategic targets. During the beginning of
the year we have realized a sizeable number of important
acquisitions and, in line with our plans, initiated projects for
the further development of our services business and strengthening
of our knowledge base. These investments will affect operating
profit in the short-term but their positive impact will start to
materialize from next year.”

Operating Environment
As a result of the good economic situation and increased truck
registrations in Europe demand for Hiab's load handling equipment
was strong. Severe winter storms in certain parts of Europe
boosted demand for forestry cranes and their spare parts. In North
America, particularly in the United States, the market for truck-
mounted forklifts used in building materials supply weakened year
on year, as expected. Although the fall in new truck registrations
eroded the demand for Hiab's tail lifts in the U.S., the market
for Hiab's loader cranes remained stable in North America. In Asia
Pacific, Hiab's load handling equipment markets remained buoyant.
Strong demand for scrap metal, especially in Japan, had a positive
impact on recycling crane markets. Demand for services provided by
Hiab continued to be high during the reporting period.
Healthy demand for Kalmar's container handling equipment continued
in Europe and Asia in the first quarter of 2007. In Europe, demand
was particularly buoyant for reachstackers. With
respect to heavy industrial equipment, demand for Kalmar's
products was lively, especially in Central Europe while demand
remained healthy in the Middle East. In the Americas, the markets
for heavy industrial and container handling equipment stabilized
as compared to late 2006. Demand for Kalmar's services remained
high. In all markets, the utilization rate of container handling
equipment was higher than in 2006, increasing demand for both
maintenance and repairs. Kalmar signed a large number of new
service contracts. Customers have increasingly continued to
outsource their services activities in order to cut costs,
increase their operational flexibility and ensure availability of
professional services.
Demand for MacGREGOR's marine cargo flow solutions remained
robust in January-March. Although demand for equipment used in
container ships leveled off somewhat during this period, increased
orders for other ship types boosted demand for MacGREGOR's
solutions. Bulk handling equipment demand grew in all geographical
areas. Ship cranes were in particularly high demand. Demand for
RoRo equipment used in Pure Car and Truck Carriers (PCTCs)
continued robust, and the company received both new and
continuation orders, particularly from Asia. Demand for
MacGREGOR's services remained stable.
Orders Received
Cargotec's order intake for January-March 2007 was extremely
healthy, with all business areas reporting a large number of

during the summer of 2007 to Jebel Ali port situated close to the
city of Dubai.
During the reporting period, Kalmar signed two long-term
agreements covering the rental, servicing and customer financing
of its equipment in Sweden. One of the agreements was concluded
with Setra Group, on the rental, maintenance and financing of 31
forklift trucks that Kalmar will deliver to Setra's 12 sawmills in
the spring of 2007. Furthermore, Kalmar signed a contract with
Wallhamn AB, Sweden's largest private port, for the lease of
several units of Kalmar container handling equipment. In the same
connection, the parties agreed on the maintenance of Kalmar and
other suppliers' equipment.
MacGREGOR
Of all the orders received, MacGREGOR accounted for EUR 259
(1-3/2006: 188) million.
In January, MacGREGOR received several orders for bulk handling
equipment that will be manufactured in Europe and China and
delivered to shipyards located in India, Asia and Europe during
2007-2008. The equipment to be delivered will be used to handle,

received included bulk handling equipment for offshore support
vessels.
In February, MacGREGOR signed an agreement to deliver port
equipment, such as linkspans and passenger gangways, for the
Norwegian ship owner, Color Line. The equipment will be delivered
in 2007-2008 for ferry service between Norway and Denmark.
In February, MacGREGOR also received a significant hatch cover
order for four container ships under construction at Aker Yards
shipyards in Germany. The container ships will be delivered during
2008. They will transport nickel from Northern Siberia under
arctic conditions.
In March, MacGREGOR received several major RoRo access equipment
orders from major shipyards. The equipment will be delivered
during 2007-2009 for RoPax ferries and Pure Car and Truck Carriers
(PCTCs) under construction at Aker Yards shipyard in Germany,
Kyokuyo Shipyard Corporation's shipyard in Japan and
Brodogradilište Kraljevica dd's shipyard in Croatia.
MacGREGOR received a record number of ship crane orders in
January-March 2007 from various ship yards in China, Korea,
Poland, Romania and Croatia. The cranes will be delivered in
2007-2010. These orders have further increased MacGREGOR's market
share in ship cranes.
Order Book
Cargotec's order book totaled EUR 1,811 (December 31, 2006: 1,621)
million at the end of March 2007. The order book was further

Net Sales
Cargotec's net sales for January-March grew by 13 percent and
totaled EUR 694 (1-3/2006: 614) million. Approximately EUR 2
million of this growth was attributable to the net sales impact of
acquisitions made during this period. The impact on net sales from
the acquisitions completed in 2006 was approximately EUR 40
million. Hiab's net sales in the first quarter amounted to EUR 240
(1-3/2006: 230) million, Kalmar's net sales were EUR 324 (284)
million and MacGREGOR's net sales EUR 131 (101) million.

Cargotec's services revenue for January-March increased by 30
percent year on year. The strong growth reflects robust demand for
spare parts and maintenance contracts. In addition, the business
grew through acquisitions. Services revenue amounted to EUR 173

million Private Placement placed in December 2006 with U.S.
institutional investors was funded in February 2007. 14 U.S.
institutional investors participated in the transaction. The
placement has been hedged through cross currency and interest rate
swaps into a fixed interest rate euro loan. Its interest rate
varies between 4.525 and 4.756 percent depending on the maturity,
which varies between 7 and 12 years.
New Products and Product Development
During the reporting period, Cargotec's research and product
development expenditure was EUR 11.1 (1-3/2006: 7.4) million,
representing 1.6 (1.2) percent of net sales.
In the first quarter, Hiab introduced a new folding type tail lift
especially for the UK and French markets. The tail lift requires
less loading space and is often used in smaller trucks. Hiab also
continued to launch new products in its XR demountable range. The
new XR 26S is developed to be used in 4- and 5-axles trucks, which
is a segment expected to grow considerably during the next few
years.
Kalmar continued the development of automated solutions during the
first quarter of the year. In March the first terminal tractors
using Remote Machine Interface system (RMI) developed by Kalmar were sold.
Earlier the RMI system has been used in other Kalmar container
handling equipment. The RMI system enables
the efficient monitoring of equipment in the container yard and their
maintenance needs. Kalmar continues to develop automation
solutions for container location, operation and control systems
used for automatic stacking cranes (ASCs). The automation
solutions will be used, for example, in the Burchardkai container
terminal's container yard of HHLA, the biggest operator in the
Port of Hamburg.
MacGREGOR continued to develop its electric cargo handling
solutions, including electric ship cranes, ramps, car decks and
hatch covers. During the period MacGREGOR continued the

acquisitions and customer financing, totaled EUR 9.8 (1-3/2006:
8.1) million. Customer financing investments were EUR 5.3 (6.1)
million.
During the reporting period, Hiab opened a new unit in
Raisio, Finland, enabling the simultaneous assembly of up to 12
truck superstructures. This investment significantly cuts delivery
times and increases the unit's efficiency.
The first superstructure deliveries commenced in Bourg-en-Bresse,
France. The installation unit is located next to a Renault truck
factory.
An R&D investment program for loader cranes was initiated in
Hudiksvall, Sweden. This investment includes not only the
facilities but also the equipment needed for crane testing.
Kalmar reachstacker assembly facilities were expanded in Lidhult,
Sweden.
Acquisitions
Cargotec's strategy is based on growing both organically and
through acquisitions. Acquisitions enable to accelerate the
expansion into new markets and develop the existing services
network. During January-March 2007, Cargotec made eight
acquisitions and signed several cooperation agreements.
In February, Cargotec signed an agreement to acquire Indital
Construction Machinery Ltd. (Indital), a company based in
Bangalore, India. The acquisition creates manufacturing presence
in India for Cargotec and supports the growing sales activities of
all three of Cargotec's business areas. Indital produces container
reachstackers, heavy forklift trucks and mobile cranes used for
loading trucks (pick-and-carry). The company employs approximately
60 people and its net sales are approximately EUR 8 million. After
completion of the acquisition, which took place in April,
Cargotec's ownership in Indital is 95 percent.
Hiab's Acquisitions
During the first quarter of 2007, Hiab signed two acquisition
agreements. In January, Hiab signed an agreement of intent to
acquire the sales, service and installation operations of its
current distributor Berger in Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary
and Croatia. The operations consist of seven sales and
service/installation points and the net sales are approximately
EUR 16 million. The companies employ approximately 75 people. The
acquisition is expected to be finalized in May.
Hiab also made an agreement to acquire the majority of its
Australian importer, BG Crane Pty. Ltd., a leading distributor and
service provider for load handling customers in Australia. The
company employs approximately 100 people and had net sales of
approximately EUR 20 million in 2006. The acquisition was
finalized in February.
Kalmar's Acquisitions
In January, Kalmar signed agreements to acquire Tagros d.o.o., a
Slovenia-based service company, and Truck och Maskin i
Örnsköldsvik AB, a Swedish company. Tagros provides maintenance of
container handling equipment and industrial forklifts at the Port
of Koper in Slovenia. This acquisition enables Kalmar to build up
its service and sales activities in Slovenia and the Northern
Balkan Peninsula. In 2006, Tagros had net sales of approximately
EUR 2 million and employed approximately 35 people. The
acquisition was completed immediately after signing.
The Swedish company Truck och Maskin's sales and service
operations assist heavy industrial handling customers in Norrland,
the northern region of Sweden. Truck och Maskin strengthens
Kalmar's sales and service presence to industrial customers in the
wood handling segment. The company employs approximately 100
people and its annual sales in the fiscal year that ended on April
30, 2006 were approximately EUR 14 million. The acquisition was
finalized in February.
In February, Kalmar made an agreement to acquire the assets and
business of Port Equipment Service, Inc., a U.S. based
services company. The company employs 56 people, most of whom are
service technicians. The acquisition strengthens Kalmar's services
business in U.S. ports and intermodal terminals, particularly in
the East Coast of USA. The company's net sales for 2006 totaled
approximately EUR 4 million. The acquisition was finalized in
February.
Kalmar made an agreement in December 2006 to buy the majority of
the shares of its Spanish distributor Kalmar Espana S.A. The
acquisition was finalized in April 2007.
In December 2006, Kalmar made an agreement to acquire Italian CVS
Ferrari. The acquisition is still under competition authority
review.
MacGREGOR's Acquisitions
MacGREGOR expanded its operations into the growing offshore
segment with two acquisitions that complement each other both in
product portfolio and geographical presence.
In March, MacGREGOR signed an agreement to acquire the Norwegian
company Hydramarine AS. Hydramarine is the leading company in high-
end area of offshore and sub sea load handling systems for the
offshore vessel industry. The company focuses on the development
of hydraulic and electrical deck machinery equipment, especially
cranes, for ship owners, yards and operators. MacGREGOR acquired
90 percent of the company with the remainder being owned by the
employees. In 2006, Hydramarine had net sales of EUR 63 million
and employed approximately 150 people. The acquisition was
completed in April.
MacGREGOR continued to expand its offshore business by acquiring
the Singaporean company Plimsoll Corporation Pte Ltd. Plimsoll is
a leading company in deck machinery for the offshore oil and gas,
and marine industry in the Asia Pacific region. Its product range
includes winches and cranes for offshore and marine applications.
MacGREGOR will acquire 90 percent of the company with the
remainder being owned by the employees. In 2006, Plimsoll had net
sales of approximately EUR 43 million and employed approximately
500 people. The deal is expected to be closed by the end of April.

Cargotec's Financial Targets and Incentive Program for Key
Managers
In January, Cargotec published its new financial targets and a
share-based incentive program for the key managers for the years
2007-2011. The purpose of the program encouraging share ownership
is to align the interests of key managers to Cargotec's strategy
and financial targets as well as contribute to making them long-
term shareholders of the company. The incentive program covers
some 60 individuals. The program offers key managers a possibility
to earn a reward in Cargotec class B shares based on
accomplishment of set targets.
Cargotec's financial targets are the following: annual net sales
growth exceeding 10 percent (incl. acquisitions), raising the
operating profit margin to 10 percent, and maintaining the gearing
below 50 percent. The targets have been set for the years
2007-2011.
The incentive program consists of four earnings periods, of which
the first is two years and the following three periods one year
each. The Board of Directors decides on the target group of the
earnings period and their maximum reward at the beginning of each
earnings period.
Potential rewards from the incentive program during 2007-2011 are
based on achievement of five-year net sales and operating profit
targets as defined in Cargotec's strategy. The rewards will be
paid during 2009-2012 in both class B shares and cash. The cash
portion is dedicated to cover possible taxes and tax-related
payments resulting from the reward. The shares distributed as
reward will contain a prohibition to hand over or sell the shares
within one year of the end of an earnings period with the
exception of the final earnings period when no prohibitions are
included. The maximum amount to be paid out as shares is 387,500
class B shares currently held by the company as treasury shares.

Share Repurchases
Cargotec's Board of Directors decided to exercise the
authorization of the Annual General Meeting to repurchase the
Company's own shares.
In accordance with the authorization the shares will be
repurchased in order to develop the capital structure of the
Company, finance or carry out possible acquisitions, implement the
Company's share-based incentive plans, or to be transferred for
other purposes or to be cancelled.
The maximum amount of repurchased own shares will be less than ten
percent of the Company's share capital and total voting rights.
This corresponds to a maximum of 6,400,000 shares so that a
maximum of 952,000 class A shares and 5,448,000 class B shares can
be repurchased.
Class B shares will be purchased at public trading in the Helsinki
Stock Exchange at the market price. Class A shares will be
purchased outside the Stock Exchange at the price equivalent to
the average price of class B shares paid in the Helsinki Stock
Exchange on the purchase date. Share repurchases will be released
on the transaction days through stock exchange announcements.
No shares were repurchased during the reporting period.
Short-term Risks and Uncertainties
Cargotec's principal short-term risks and uncertainties are
related to subcontracting, success of integrating recent
acquisitions, and U.S. construction industry development.
Cargotec has outsourced a significant proportion of its component
production and part of its assembly operations. In the current
economic boom, uncertainty of component availability is possible.
Cargotec strives to anticipate its component needs so that
subcontractors can flexibly meet demand.
The development of the U.S. construction industry affects demand for
Cargotec's load handling equipment. At present, load handling
equipment demand from the building materials supply industry is
clearly below the 2006 level. The market development remains
uncertain.
Cargotec has made a significant number of acquisitions during the
past 12 months. Although these acquisitions are relatively small
in size and geographically dispersed, integrations always involve
uncertainty factors.
Events After the Reporting Period
The acquisitions of Kalmar Espana, Indital and Hydramarine have
been finalized in April. In addition, an agreement has been made
to acquire the remaining minority in Kalmar Asia Pacific Ltd.
Hiab has on April 23, 2007 initiated plans to concentrate its
European truck-mounted forklift production to the Dundalk factory
in Ireland. Truck-mounted forklifts are produced in two factories
in Europe, in Dundalk, Ireland and Oude Leije, the Netherlands. As
part of creating a more competitive business structure Oude Leije
assembly operations are planned to be transformed into a technical
center serving European customers. The plans are
expected to clearly improve production efficiency and cost
competitiveness. The estimated personnel reduction is some 50
people.
Outlook
General market activity is expected to remain healthy. Development
of the services business will continue during the year in line
with Cargotec's strategy. Following the record high order intake
in the first quarter Cargotec's full year 2007 order intake is
expected to surpass net sales. Net sales growth including
acquisitions is expected to clearly exceed 10 percent. Cargotec's
operating margin in 2007 is expected to be on the level of last
year's operating margin from operations before on-going growth and
efficiency related investments as well as purchase price
allocation treatment of acquisitions.

ACQUISITIONS 2007
In January-March 2007 Cargotec made several acquisitions in line
with its strategy. These acquisitions were individually
immaterial.
In January, Hiab made an agreement to acquire the majority of its
Australian importer, BG Crane Pty. Ltd. The acquisition was
finalized in February. In January, Kalmar signed agreement to
acquire Tagros d.o.o., a Slovenia-based services company. The
acquisition was completed immediately after signing. In January,
Kalmar signed also agreement to acquire Truck och Maskin i
Örnsköldsvik AB, a Swedish company. The acquisition was finalized
in February. In February, Kalmar made an agreement to acquire the
assets and business of Port Equipment Service, Inc., a U.S.
based services company. The acquisition was finalized in February.
Management estimates that the consolidated sales for Jan 1-Mar 31,
2007 would have been approximately EUR 697 million, if the
acquisitions had occurred on Jan 1, 2007.
The table below summarizes the acquisitions in January-March 2007.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES:
The interim report has been prepared according to the
International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the
annual financial statements of 2006. All figures in the accounts
have been rounded and consequently the
sum of individual figures can deviate from the presented sum
figure.
Adoption of New or Revised IFRS Standards and Interpretations in
2007
In January 2007 Cargotec has also adopted the following new and amended
standards and interpretations by the IASB published in 2006:
- IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures
- IAS 1 Amendment, Capital Disclosures
- IFRIC 10, Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment
- IFRIC 11, Group and Treasury Shares Transactions
The adoption of the new and revised standards and interpretations
does not have a material effect on the interim financial statements.
Reclassification of balance sheet items
Division of derivative assets and liabilities into current and non-
current has been taken into use in 2006. Derivative instruments,
for which hedge accounting is applied, and for which the
underlying cash flow matures after twelve months, are included in
non-current assets and liabilities, other derivative instruments
are included in current assets and liabilities. In previous
financial statements all derivatives have been included in current
assets and liabilities. The comparative figures of March 31, 2006
have been restated accordingly.
Retrospective adjustment of final accounting of the acquisitions
In financial statements of 2006 the impact of final accounting of
the acquisitions of 2005 were recognized retrospectively for the
period Jan 1-Dec 31, 2006. The comparative figures of March 31,
2006 have been restated accordingly.
Share-based payments
The share-based incentive scheme for top management that was
approved by the Board of Directors in July 2005 has ended in March
2007. The members of the scheme received 20,660 Cargotec 2005B
option rights and in cash 65,000 synthetic option rights. The fair
value of a synthetic option was EUR 28.22 at payment day.
In January 2007, Cargotec published a new share-based incentive
scheme for the company's key managers for the years 2007-2011. The
rewards will be paid during 2009-2012 in both class B shares and
cash. The cash portion is dedicated to cover possible taxes and
tax-related payments resulting from the total reward. Shares
distributed as reward will contain a prohibition to hand over or
sell the shares within one year of the end of an earnings period
with the exception of the final earnings period when no
prohibitions are included. The shares will be lost if the holder
leaves the company before the prohibition period ends. At the end
of March 2007 the earnings period 2007-2008 involves 52 persons.
If they were to receive the maximum number of shares in accordance
with the scheme, a total of 127,200 shares, their
shareholding obtained via the program would amount to 0.09
percentage of the Company's class A and B voting rights. The
incentive scheme is booked and valued according to the Share-based
payments accounting principle presented in the annual financial
statements of 2006.
