Hello all, and welcome to follow Konecranes' Q2 2026 Results Webcast. My name is Linda Hakkila, I'm the VP, Investor Relations here at Konecranes.

And today, with me as our main speakers, we have our CEO, Marko Tulokas; and our CFO, Teo Ottola. Before we continue, I would like to remind you about the disclaimer as we might be making forward-looking statements.

As per usual, we will first start with a presentation from our CEO. After that, our CFO, and then we are happy to answer your questions in the Q&A session.

But now without any further comments, I would like to hand over to our CEO.

Thank you very much, Linda, and good afternoon from my behalf also. I'd like to start with some key topics of the quarter and start with commenting the customer activity.

And I'm happy to say that we had a continued very strong and good customer activity throughout the quarter. That despite the continued geopolitical uncertainty, which has resulted some apprehension with customers and the timing of the orders as well as some volatility in supply chain.

Regardless of that uncertainty and apprehension, we had good demand, particularly in the Ports business segment as well as in defense, power and aviation in the industrial side to name a few. And because of that, our quarter 2 orders actually were very strong, and that resulted also in the highest order book that we have had in 3 years.

This, of course, is a very good quarter 2 for us. Now the uncertainty in the environment reflected maybe more on the sales and the delivery side, but our volumes remaining on the previous year level or actually slightly below, and that is mainly due to the expected timing of the ports order book.

Our ability to execute and apply cost control resulted in a solid result, particularly in such a volume environment. And also, I'd like to say that I'm really happy and particularly happy that we had good M&A activity in the quarter.

So right after the end of the quarter, we were able to announce the recent planned acquisition of 70% majority interest in MFK, which is Mitsubishi Electric Corporation's wire rope hoist and gear motor business in Japan. And of course, that is a very important milestone for Konecranes and in our expansion plans for our geographical presence.

Japan is the third largest crane, crane service and wire rope hoist in the world. And of course, for our mid- to long-term plans, this is, of course, a very significant win.

Very happy about that. So now let's move on to the quarter financials and more specific comments.

So we had good orders from all 3 business areas, 2 great orders for Port Solutions, 2 larger ones. I'll talk about that a little bit later.

Navy order for Industrial Equipment and the Defense segment as well as solid growth for industrial service, both in the agreement base as well as in the orders. And that resulted in an order intake growth of 13% year-on-year with comparable currencies.

And consequently, to an order book that is 15% higher than the previous year at EUR 3.4 billion and the best order book that we have had in 3 years. And that, of course, gives us good prospects for the second half.

Our sales is still behind previous year. That is predominantly a ports deliveries timing issue.

But there was also some industrial service and port service-related customer apprehension that reflected to -- from the agreement-based invoicing and resulting spin. But also, we've seen some developments towards the end of the quarter that are improving that development.

Too early to say. Solid margins, particularly if one considers the volume environment, 1.6% behind previous year, but that was predominantly impacted by the volume environment.

Now moving on to our demand environment. And if you look at the 2 key indicators here, the capacity utilization and the purchase manager index or the confidence indicators, looking at first, the 2 largest regions, the EMEA and U.S.

or EU and U.S., the capacity utilization has been flat roughly the last 12 months with some slight increase in the previous couple of months. Funnels.

Our own funnels are solid. Customers are hesitant to some extent.

But as I've said -- as I was saying earlier, we do see solid activity in several customer segments in the industrial side. This capacity utilization related apprehension is more maybe visible in the service work and how much service workers customers actually place or order against the order book that we have and hence, that reflects somewhat to the delivery side in service.

Looking at the manufacturing confidence and the PMI expansion, that shows actually for the second quarter in a row in all 4 key market areas that we operate expansion. That has not all translated into demand for us yet.

But generally speaking, that describes a more positive while still cautious environment. And China, although there is a clear slowing down or decrease in the purchase margin index still shows expansion.

And that for us shows as an active market, although at the same time, very intense domestic competition. Now I would next look at the Port segment.

And here, the good activity level continues. So when we look at the container throughput index, that continues to be on a very high level historically, and we saw another 3% increase year-on-year in the container throughput.

And of course, the long-term drivers, they remain the same. The automation trend that we've seen, the geopolitical trends that drives also replacement of logistic flows and therefore, also the ports and terminals, the electrification and sustainability trend as well as then the demographics, which drive both automation and the outsourcing trends.

More on a current note, particularly if you look at the current geopolitical environment, and particularly this situation of crisis in the Middle East. The impact of that is somewhat, but in a smaller way in sales side and in the sales delays.

But when we look at the demand environment, in fact, that is in the short and midterm, also having some potential positive opportunities. We see some realignment of investments because of the change in the logistic flows and most recently is, of course, the announced plans in UAE that there would be a new terminal on the East Coast of United Arab Emirates because of the situation.

And that's a good example of what these sorts of things actually may result in particularly in this industry. And also the other thing is that our customers in this industry are the shipping lines and terminal operators, they are doing financially very well and very much continue the consolidation and investment into the terminals and in this business.

And that, of course, is a positive driver for us. Now looking still a bit more in detail to the volume development.

As I said, orders were solid from all 3 BAs and particularly in Port Solutions, we saw a good order intake increase. We had 2 large orders, one from YILPORT, which was announced and the other one was an unannounced larger order.

But besides that, we also had a decent order intake in Port Solutions in the other segments, too. In the Industrial Equipment side, one large defense segment Navy order in the United States, but I can also say that we have continued to see solid component distribution business development also in the second quarter.

And in the Industrial Service side, 5% growth in orders and 4% in agreement base, which, of course, is a positive thing. We see an increase in Americas and Asia Pacific, but some decrease still in EMEA that maybe reflects the demand environment too.

And on the sales side, Industrial Equipment saw actually growth, and the slowness has been in Industrial Service side, particularly in EMEA and in Asia Pacific. And of course, as I said already a couple of times, the Port Solutions, it's the timing of deliveries issues.

And most of that, of course, is planned and well known in advance. These volumes, of course, they resulted in the clearly high order book compared to the previous quarter and what we had last year.

So we have a 15% higher order book than previous year at the same time. That's best in 3 years.

All business areas increased. And of course, we have a confidence building order book for second half deliveries since we have EUR 200 million higher order book for the second half of this year compared to the previous year at the same time.

And on this section, finally, I shortly again touch upon the -- our progression towards the financial targets. We saw a slight decline in the 12-month rolling comparable EBITA development in Industrial Service, Port Solutions and the group volume, whereas Industrial Equipment continued to gradually improve.

What I can, of course, say is that, well, we are well within the target range that we have set up for ourselves until 2029, as also communicated earlier. Now at this stage, I'd like to turn over to Teo, and then I'll come back a bit later also for 2 more things or 3 more things actually.

Thank you, Marko.

Thank you.

And let's move more into the numbers. And let's start with the group profitability slide.

So as we already saw, so we had a decline in the group comparable EBITA of 1.6 percentage points to 12.7% now in the second quarter of '26. When we take a look at it by BA, so we had actually an improvement in Industrial Equipment, we had a decline in Port Solutions and Service.

And when we take a look at the business areas where we had a decline, so the main reason for the decline was the underlying volume development, which was downwards. If we unpack the EBITA a little bit more with the help of the EBITA bridge on the right-hand side.

So first of all, we note that the decline in euros was EUR 20 million. If we go more into the details and take a look at the pricing impact, so we had maybe 2% to 3% higher prices now than a year ago.

When we combine that with the fact that the sales declined in comparable currencies by 2.8%. So we are actually looking at an underlying volume decline of 5% or even slightly more, which obviously flows into the EBIT development as well as a negative item.

Then when we take a look at the inflation, so actually, the inflation was roughly in line with the price increases that we had, so somewhere between 2% and 3% on a weighted average basis. And we did not now in this quarter have a really net of inflation gain or loss.

So we were basically able to cover the inflation with the price increases, but not really more than that. This is as such okay, but it is, of course, a little bit different than what we have been having in the previous quarters because we have had quite many quarters where we have had a net of inflation pricing gain.

And this time, that was not the case. When we then take a look at the other elements, so mix impact was not really meaningfully big.

So it was a fairly small one. We had a small negative from the execution, so from the performance in a year-on-year comparison.

And then when we take a look at the fixed costs, so the delta in the bridge, minus EUR 7 million. So this is basically inflation and that much we were able to, of course, then compensate with the pricing.

As said, we were able to cover for the inflation, but nothing extra on top of that one. And then the overall end conclusion is that basically what comes through to the EBIT is then the volume impact.

And the other topics are then more or less netting each other out. So it's the underlying volume development, which is behind the profitability development.

Then when we move into the businesses and start with the service. So the order intake was roughly EUR 400 million.

That is an increase of a little bit more than 5% in comparable currencies. We had increase both in field service as well as in parts.

When we take a look at the regions, we had an increase in the Americas and EMEA, but a decrease in APAC. Again, taking a look at the regions, one can say that the Americas region order intake was very strong now in the second quarter.

Then the agreement base continued to grow, again, higher than 4% growth year-on-year in comparable currencies, very good news there. And then the order book is higher than a year ago.

It's also higher than at the end of the first quarter. So both sequential and year-on-year growth from the order book point of view.

Sales, minus 1.7% in comparison to the situation a year ago. Now despite the fairly good order intake, so we have some slowness in the sales.

And like Marko already pointed out, so it comes partially from the -- maybe a bit lower-than-expected invoicing regarding the agreement base and also then that our order book is now a little bit higher than what it has been. So part of it is in the order book in a way and part is in the slower than, let's say, normal invoicing from the agreement base.

We, however, feel that this is primarily a timing topic and the sales performance will recover going forward to the second half. Then when taking a look at the comparable EBITA margin, 21.2%.

This is a decline of 1.4 percentage point year-on-year. Here, the reason is the same as for the whole group.

So it is basically the underlying volume, which is causing the decline in the service EBITA margin. Industrial Equipment then, very good order intake in the second quarter, more than 18% growth in a year-on-year comparison.

So we had good growth in components. We also had good growth in process cranes, but a slight decline in standard cranes in a year-on-year comparison.

And then again, taking a look at the regions. So Americas was strong here also like in service as well.

Also APAC grew, but EMEA was more or less stable in a year-on-year comparison. Then of course, the sequential comparison is interesting and important as well.

There, we had a decline in standard cranes as well as in components, but process cranes were more or less flat in a sequential comparison. It's worth noting that component order intake despite declining a little bit in a sequential comparison, still continued to be on a very good level.

Here, too, the order book increased both in a year-on-year comparison as well as in the sequential comparison. Net sales grew by 8.6% in year-on-year comparison.

We actually here had a growth in all business units. Some delays from the customer deliveries point of view but nothing major and sales growth is there.

So then when we take into -- take a look at the comparable EBITA margin, 6.9%, 0.6 percentage point improvement. So this is, of course, then a different story than in the service.

For example, volume increased and supported the EBITA. Also pricing gave a small positive here within Industrial Equipment.

But then on the negative side, on the other hand, we have the FX, so euro-dollar in particular, which is impacting us, which is in a worse position from our point of view than a year ago. And then also from the execution point of view, it was not a completely clean quarter.

So there was a little bit of that also included in the numbers. Then Port Solutions, also here, actually excellent order intake, the growth, 17% year-on-year, like Marko already pointed out, we had 2 large orders that were received in the second quarter.

Activity overall was good in RTGs, lift trucks also port service in a year-on-year comparison. Then when we take a look at the sales, we have a clear decline, almost 13% in a year-on-year comparison.

Again, repeating what Marko already mentioned. So this is primarily an order book timing topic.

So the deliveries are scheduled for a later time. This was the main reason a couple of deliveries probably could have been going to within the Q2 and slipped to Q3.

Additionally, unfortunately, we were not able to deliver the pending Middle East case that was there pending already at the end of Q1. So that was a little bit less than EUR 50 million impact.

But like I said, this, we had already at the end of Q1. But we haven't really seen any major new delays as a result of the conflict in the Middle East.

Then when we take a look at the comparable EBITA, 10.8%, 1.9 percentage point down in a year-on-year comparison. So of course, the decline is primarily as a result of the lower volume.

The profit was supported a little bit by a U.S. tariff refund.

So we have applied for refunds. We have received also refund.

It was a little bit less than EUR 2 million for Port Solutions in this quarter, and this was a tariff that we actually originally paid last year and now that we have got a refund. So it is, of course, helping our Q2 result then this year.

Then a couple of comments on the balance sheet and cash flow. And here on the net working capital side, we have actually now for the first time in 2 years, we have a situation that we are on the wrong side of our target of being below 10% of rolling 12-month sales.

This is because of the inventories. So it is the work in progress primarily, which is causing this.

So of course, the sales are a little bit on the low side. And of course, the flip side is then that the goods are in the inventory.

So that is the reason behind that. Advances from customers are on a somewhat higher level, but it is obviously not enough to compensate for the buildup in the work in progress or the contract assets that we now have there.

And this is, of course, also a timing topic. But we are, like I said, on the wrong side of the -- of our own target in this quarter.

This then, of course, impacts our free cash flow as well. So the second quarter free cash flow was not good on the negative.

And when we take a look at it on a rolling 12-month basis, so we are now very close to a situation that we have cash conversion at about 100% at the end of the Q2 on a rolling 12-month basis. The cash flow is then, of course, reflected on this slide.

So on the right-hand side, we can see the net debt. So net working capital development has impacted this one.

A bigger impact, however, comes, of course, from the dividend payment that was taken care of in the second quarter, and now we are in a small net debt situation at the end of the second quarter. When taking a look at the rolling 12-month ROCE, so we are there 22.5% with on a comparable return on capital employed basis.

With these comments, I will then hand over back to Marko.

Thank you, Teo. Talking about our demand outlook.

So we reiterate our earlier demand outlook. And in our industrial customer segment, we do expect that our demand environment remains to be healthy, as I was explaining earlier.

And then for Port customers, container throughput is on a high level. And as already earlier described, the long-term prospects are remaining very good.

However, the uncertainty has not gone anywhere, and that is, of course, related to the geopolitics and the tariff policy that has also not changed and is almost equally as volatile as it was before. And that, of course, keeps the uncertainty in the demand outlook.

And from a financial guidance point of view, we reiterate the guidance of net sales expected to remain approximately on the same level or to increase from previous year and that our comparable EBITA margin is expected to remain approximately on the same level. So that means that we remain confident, thanks to a good order book and stable profitability development, but at the same time, realistic about the uncertainties in the environment.

And with that, I have one more message, and that is that we have at Konecranes worked to further sharpen our strategic priorities and ambitions. And I'd like to tell you more or we'd like to tell you more in connection with our quarter 3 results on October 23.

So you are very welcome to join us either virtually or in Helsinki, and we will then share more of these strategic priorities and ambitions and welcome a discussion with all of you. And with that, I am happy to close this section and move on to the Q&A with Linda.

Thank you for the presentations, Marko and Teo. Now we will start the Q&A session for today.

So operator, we are ready to start taking questions through the conference call lines.

The next question comes from Daniela Costa from Goldman Sachs.

I have 2, and I will ask them one at a time. But first, I just wanted to understand on the service margin a little bit better because is there any impact also from mix?

Or how should we think about the fact that parts went up and field services went down? I would have thought that is mix accretive.

But then from the other hand, we also had Asia doing better than the rest of the world. And maybe extending that to -- you mentioned the order book a bit when you were going through the explanations, I didn't quite get it, but what's been the trend of margins in the order and agreements book?

Maybe you want to take?

If we start with the service question and the mix impact there. So yes, it is correct that the spare parts have been doing and we're doing now from the order intake point of view and sales point of view, also a little bit better than the field service.

The difference also this time as in so many other times within the service is not so big that it would be significantly impacting the margin structure so that the mix typically doesn't have a huge impact within the service. This was undoubtedly a small positive, but nothing so much that it would be clearly visible in the margin.

Then we take a look at the gross margin in service and compare it to the situation a year ago, so it is very -- these 2 are very close to each other. Of course, now we need to remember that we have been having a little bit, let's say, additional cost burden as a result of the Middle East conflict because some of the cost items like fuel has been on a higher level than what it was earlier.

But we have been able to mitigate that cost increase quite well within our -- with our own actions. And hence, the gross margins there are basically more or less unchanged.

So it is the volume drop that actually causes the decline in the profitability within service.

And the other question was about the order book margins. And I guess that is for service as well as elsewhere, the order book margins are roughly on the same level where they have been.

in the year-to-date numbers, right?

That is correct. And of course, within service, the order book is maybe then more focused or it's more on the modernization side.

So it's not maybe less the spare parts and the field service part. But by and large, of course, that is correct.

And now, by the way, when we take a look at the order intake now in the second quarter for service, so -- and like I said, it was quite good, more than 5% growth. This was not because of the modernization.

So we didn't have more modernizations now than a year ago, actually the other way around. So modernization order intake was somewhat lower than in the second quarter of last year.

Got it. And just on the free cash flow, you had all these very large orders towards the back end of the quarter.

Is it -- are we missing the advances from these recent large orders? And is that why the free cash flow was negative?

Or sort of can you delve a little bit into what caused it?

Timing of the order intake is basically what caused it. So these came very much towards the end of the quarter.

And then the advanced payment in a way, schedule was not in place to the extent that maybe it would have been if this had been done 2 months earlier or 1.5 months earlier. So this is the basic example in that one.

So there hasn't been any major significant shift within the contract terms from higher advances to lower advances or anything like that. So that -- so the advanced payments continue -- have been and they continue to be part of the way of doing business in these kind of deals where a cancellation would be a problem for us because of the tailor-made cranes.

The next question comes from Panu Laitinmaki from Danske Bank.

I have 2 questions. Firstly, on the guidance.

So you keep it unchanged. You are behind last year after the first half.

So could you talk about kind of drivers in the second half that enabled you to kind of reach the guidance, especially given that the margin comps are pretty high? And then the second is on services.

So I didn't fully understand the kind of comment that you had good orders, but then lower sales. So customers are -- could you explain the thing with the kind of lower delivery from the agreement base?

And is this improving going into Q3 already?

Maybe I can start on that. On the confidence for the second half, particularly, and that's, of course, predominantly related to the stronger order book.

So our order book is roughly EUR 200 million stronger. And unless we see a deteriorating delivery environment compared to the situation that there is today, then, of course, that gives us confidence that we should be able to deliver the second half.

And of course, the delivery -- as was also stated or explained by Teo as it relates to service, of course, that is something that drives the profitability also very well. And that, of course, is predominantly the reason why we are confident on the second half guidance under these current assumptions and conditions.

And the other question was about the service margin?

Service sales probably.

Yes, service sales, yes, sorry, yes. That service sales topic, I mean, you were referring to how come the service sales is behind or the book-to-bill to the orders is what it is.

Of course, that is, to some extent, there are elements there that may be not easy even for someone like us to explain. But the key reason is that, of course, customers, when they have such a environment where they either may be very loaded with the project, which is the case with some of customers or in some cases, have additional capacity or uncertainty themselves, they may hold back on the agreement-based orders or sales that they have already ordered in.

Hence, when they order less, then, of course, that is something that also results in a spin later or the sales that we would get from that inspection visit. And that, of course, why there is a lag or a snowball that we maybe push ahead of us or will push ahead of us in service.

Of course, the orders are there and the agreement base is there. So eventually, the customer will need to do that maintenance and that service and replace that part.

And that, of course, why we are also confident from the service side that this will -- now that once we're back on growth track with the orders that will turn into sales.

One way of taking a look at the same with the -- in light of the numbers is that when we take a look at the agreement base growth, which has been 4% or more, and then we take a look at the invoicing from the agreement base. So it is growing less.

So in a way, there is a delay in delivering the agreement base. And that delay is something like now was stated so that we feel that it is temporary and it will be fulfilled over time.

But now it has been -- there has been a mismatch within the growth of the agreement base and the agreement base related invoicing. But there is, of course, the other explanation as well.

So if you take a look at the order book for service, which typically is fairly modest, but now it has been growing. And for example, if we take a look at the order book for service at the end of Q1 and compare it to the end of Q2, so we have a higher order book.

So some of the orders that have been done now, for example, retrofits that -- for which the quarter was quite good. So they have not been delivered.

But of course, the order book will be delivered at a given time going forward. But of course, now the Q2 sales was maybe a little bit lower than what we would have wanted to be.

Okay. Can I just ask as a follow-up?

So how should we kind of interpret this that you have been talking about a bit cautious service market for a while, but now the order intake trends were clearly better. So should we kind of understand that it's been an inflection point and it's getting better?

Or is it still kind of softish given the sales dynamics that you explained?

It is a bit, let's say, market that is like I were describing cautious. So there are elements there that give confidence, but I would say that it's probably just to be on the conservative side to say that it is a bit too early to say, but the outlook is more positive than it was a few months ago.

And there are elements there that could turn this much more positive going forward.

And if we take a look at the data that we get from the claims at the customers, so what we have been seeing is that the utilization rates seem to be going in the right direction, so up in the beginning of the year, so Q1 or so when we have been -- when we take a look at it now, so it's still on a higher level than year-to-date. But then again, I mean, the last couple of months have not been superb in a sequential comparison.

So there's maybe a little bit conflicting messages. So as cliche as it is, so one needs to say that the uncertainty is there.

But then again, when we take a look at the behavior that we had from the order intake point of view, for example, in the Americas now in the second quarter. So both service and equipment were strong from the order intake point of view.

So there are also good signs in that.

The next question comes from Mikael Doepel from Nordea.

Just a follow-up on this last one. So you mentioned that in terms of the service business, there are elements that are looking more positive than 2 months ago.

Could you just clarify what elements are you actually referring to?

I believe that is -- as was stating that we see the activity in the so-called TRUCONNECT or the connected crane that is on a year-on-year basis is higher, but slightly lower in the last month's comparison. But in a year comparison between quarters, it is positive.

So that's one small signal. And of course, when we look at our sales funnels, they are on a rather healthy level.

The uncertainty comes from things like that, okay, when does the order actually placed and when it gets delivered. And that, to some extent, it's the same on the service side.

There are not very clear signs that one could immediately be able to interpret that we are going in one particular direction. So it is the funnel value.

So they are stable on a fairly good level when we take a look at the number of new cases that have come to the funnel. So it is very stable in comparison to, let's say, what it was some months ago, if there is a difference within service.

So it's maybe slightly to the positive. But what can one, I mean, conclude out of all of this so that in the big picture, it seems the overall environment seems pretty stable.

And then there are these regional differences like now Americas looked much more positive than EMEA, for example, from the service point of view. And I guess the same applies to the equipment as well.

Okay. So it's fair to say that you -- I mean, in terms of the sales funnel, I guess, what you're talking about now is not only service, but broadly speaking, sales funnel that you see those as solid across business segments and regions?

Summary level, yes. So that is with differences.

And I mean just on the service side, still maybe if you look at the modernization, there is quite a bit of modernization activity. One of those things that in the last quarters, we have been in the funnel, I mean, because you can only -- you can only go so long without doing a modernization or replacement.

That is also one sign when you are saying that what are the reasons why we believe that there would be a good trend. But again, that is only one sign.

Good. Then just a final question on the -- I mean, I guess, Teo, you mentioned the pricing net of cost inflation in the quarter was fairly neutral and it has been slightly positive, I guess, in the couple of past quarters.

How should we think about this equation going forward? I mean, what are you seeing out there?

I could assume that maybe there is some increased cost pressures out there on logistics and other things. But at the same time, I would also assume that you're adjusting your pricing.

So how should we think about this going forward? And also not really related to this, but in terms of the tariff refunds, what do you expect on that front into the second half?

Yes. If we start with the pricing.

So I guess that it's the same commentary as we have been having earlier as well. So we feel that we will be able to price inflation in.

So there can be, of course, certain delays if there are abrupt chokes to the system, either from the freight point of view or from the fuel point of view. But as we can see now within the second quarter, we have been able to handle those, for example, now fairly well.

And then we are cautioning that one should not think that we would be automatically be able to make net of inflation pricing gain going forward. So the -- our commentary is that we will be able to push inflation into the customer prices, but not necessarily much more.

If that is the case, that we can increase value added to the customer and can increase pricing more. So that's very good.

But let's not count on that on a short and midterm basis. Then regarding the tariff situation.

So of course, I mean, this goes in phases in the U.S., like you most likely know. And of course, we will be applying for more refunds if the system allows that.

So we will be following how it is done, and then we will be applying more as we go. But there are, of course, uncertainties related to this one as well.

So time will tell in that how it will go impactice.

The next question comes from Antti Kansanen from SEB.

Just a couple of follow-ups left from me. First is on the commentary of having EUR 200 million more from the backlog for the second half.

Is this comment predominantly for the Port segment? Or is it divided also for the industrial side?

Because it is divided by everybody, but of course, mostly ports where that is coming from, but all the business areas have a stronger order book. And if you look at service and also Industrial Equipment, the throughput times are generally speaking, shorter than ports, so for all of them.

And maybe coming back to the previous question on the pricing in the backlog. I mean, you mentioned that perhaps we shouldn't expect you to be able to price net of inflation gains.

But if you look at kind of that order backlog that is now set to roll out on the second half, are you fully covered for this kind of inflationary pressures that have this year hit, you mentioned fuel and perhaps some raw materials as well. Is there a concern that there might be a temporary kind of net of inflation headwind coming on the second half?

I understand that you price in new orders with good pricing, but the existing backlog?

One could maybe formulate it so that in the big picture, we think that we are quite okay. But of course, if there are now from this onwards, let's say, during the second half of the year, again, a new shock on something as a result of whatever takes place in the world.

So then, of course, it can be that there are temporary issues for us. And the reason for that one is the same as we -- I think we discussed in connection to the Q1 as well, so that in those agreements and cases that we have in the order book, so it is difficult to get the price escalation there because it's already been agreed.

And if there are cost items that are unhedged, like fuel and freight, at least to some extent. So then that may be more difficult to cover on a short-term basis.

But like I said, based on the current situation, we don't see a massive risk from that point of view. But if something unexpected happens, so then, of course, it may have an impact.

Okay. And then the very last from me is on the Industrial Equipment profitability on second half of last year, which is, as it was referred earlier, quite a challenging comp in margins are a bit of an outlier.

And if I remember correctly, you then flagged some temporary pricing gains from the tariff landscape. So could you maybe walk us through a little bit what's a reasonable expectation now on the second half versus what you did a year ago on the Industrial Equipment side?

Yes, of course. I'll start again.

So of course, there was some tariff tailwind. I think it was EUR 2 million a quarter level in Industrial Equipment.

And of course, that is no longer a tailwind, but it's neither a headwind on this year. And of course, this -- my understanding also the currency is working against us a bit still in Industrial Equipment.

Other than that, whether we had anything more specific than rather just good volumes last year and good execution that I have to ask Teo, from.

We had some like the R&D grant we had -- so -- but I mean, I guess that it is fair to say that when we take a look at the tariff situation, so the tailwind that we had from that one, that's not going to be there most likely unless there are again changes that we do not know of today, but that is maybe not there. On the other hand, then when one takes a look at the FX, which has been for an industrial equipment, a little bit of a burden now in the second quarter, in particular, but also Q1.

So this one, based on the euro-dollar rates now should not be going in the worse direction. It should be going slightly to the better direction now in the third quarter.

And then, of course, the fourth quarter is still open, not fully hedged.

Okay. So -- and then there's obviously the volume impact, which should be perhaps positive also for the Industrial Equipment from the backlog, which helps you to offset some of these last year's tailwinds.

Yes.

There are no more questions at this time. So I hand the conference back to the speakers.

It seems that there are no more questions. So this concludes our Q&A session for today.

I want to thank you everyone for following our event today. And before we close the call, I would like to remind you that we update on October 23.

But thank you once again, and have a lovely day.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.
