Cargotec Corporation has been listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange since June
1, 2005. In this pro forma review, Cargotec's results for January-September 2005
are presented based on its business and corporate structure following the
demerger of Kone Corporation. Comparative figures for 2004 have been calculated
based on the same structure to facilitate the financial evaluation of the
Company. Hence, MacGREGOR's marine cargo flow business is included in the pro
forma comparison figures. Cargotec Corporation has on October 24, 2005 published
an Interim Report for June-September 2005.

Cargotec's President and CEO Carl-Gustaf Bergström:

"We are very pleased with our third quarter. The higher than expected net sales
enabled good profitability. Our ability to respond to the increased demand with
significantly higher delivery volumes than a year ago is a result of successful
investments in the flexibility of operations. In addition, the order intake in the
quarter shows that the market situation continued good in all our business areas.
Furthermore, it is important that cash flow strengthened as we had indicated."
