restructuring measures during the second quarter and EUR 12 million (56) of
nonrecurring items during the review period January-June 2011.
OLE JOHANSSON, PRESIDENT AND CEO:
"The second quarter was good in terms of ordering activity and profitability.
While net sales decreased somewhat, the solid order intake paves the way ahead.
For the first time since 2008, we booked more new orders than we billed for. In
Ship Power there is positive development in various LNG fuelled vessel markets.
Power Plants also received major orders in new markets for gas-based solutions
and our "Smart Power Generation" -concept is being recognised. The Services
business was stable. The growth of the global economy appears at risk of slowing
down, which may impact decision making for new investments. It may also affect
the utilisation of the existing marine fleet. Due to this uncertainty, as well
as the timing of power plant deliveries, we have revised our net sales
expectation to a slight decline compared to last year. Our profitability is
expected to remain on the guided level."
WÄRTSILÄ'S PROSPECTS FOR 2011 REVISED
Due to weaker than expected marine service markets and the timing of power plant
deliveries, Wärtsilä expects its net sales for 2011 to decline by 0-5% compared
to last year. We reiterate our expectation that operational profitability (EBIT%
before nonrecurring items) will be around 11%.

MARKET DEVELOPMENT
SHIP POWER
A shift in the mix of vessels contracted
During the second quarter of 2011, vessel contracting activity continued to be
stable at around 100 vessels per month. Contracting activity for certain types
of merchant vessels, such as bulk carriers and tankers, declined while activity
was buoyant for containerships and gas carriers. This development in the
merchant market, coupled with strong contracting activity in the offshore
markets and good activity in special vessels, means that the mix of vessels
contracted during 2011 has clearly shifted towards specialised tonnage. This
situation is expected to remain unchanged throughout the remainder of the year.
Asian yards continue to dominate the shipbuilding industry, having secured 89%
of the global contracts signed during 2011, with China and Korea each gaining
about 40% of all global contracts. Notably, Chinese yards were able to secure
important orders for containerships, a segment traditionally dominated by Korean
yards.
Ship Power market shares
Wärtsilä's share of the medium-speed main engine market increased to 44% (42% at
the end of the previous quarter). The market share in low-speed engines
increased to 17% (11). This increase is a reflection of good order intake during
2011, especially in China. In the auxiliary engine market Wärtsilä's share was
3% (3).
POWER PLANTS
Power plant markets remain solid
Market activity continued at a good level during the second quarter of 2011.
Increasing industrial output in most emerging markets drove the demand from
independent power producers (IPP's), utilities and industrial customers. The
financial crisis led to the postponement of investments for power generation in
2009 and 2010, and this is now creating demand in several markets.
Power Plants market position
In 2010, the overall market for gas and liquid fuel based power generation was
approximately 57,000 MW. This includes all prime mover units of over 5 MW.
Wärtsilä's share represented 5.6% of the market. This makes Wärtsilä the fourth
largest supplier of gas and liquid fuel based power plants. With its unique
value proposition, Wärtsilä aims at strengthening its position in the gas based
power plant market by capturing market share from other technologies.
SERVICES
Service market stable
The service market was stable during the second quarter of 2011. The offshore
markets showed high activity and activity in the container markets was on a good
level. The tanker and especially the bulker markets were somewhat slow. Interest
in various operations, maintenance and technical service agreements is growing
as customers increasingly focus on ensuring cost effective and energy efficient
operations as well as the high reliability of their installations.
ORDER INTAKE
Book-to-bill ratio exceeds one
Wärtsilä's order intake for the second quarter totalled EUR 1,170 million
(1,117) an increase of 5%. In relation to the previous quarter Wärtsilä's order
intake increased 20% (EUR 979 million in the first quarter of 2011). The book-
to-bill ratio for the second quarter was 1.13 (0.99).
Ship Power's order intake for the second quarter totalled EUR 306 million (213),
up 44%. Compared to the previous quarter, order intake was up 77% (EUR 173
million in the first quarter of 2011).  During the second quarter, Wärtsilä
received several significant orders for the delivery of total solutions,
including ship design, propulsion machinery, automation and other equipment.
Many of these vessels will be equipped with Wärtsilä dual-fuel engines
underlining the company's frontrunner position in gas applications. The Offshore
segment continued to be active with a 54% share of total orders during the
second quarter, followed by the Merchant segment with 19% of all orders. Special
vessels and Navy orders were 12% and 9% respectively. Ship Design represented a
3% share, and Cruise & Ferry a 2% share of the total.
The order intake for Power Plants in the second quarter totalled EUR 419 million
(437), which was 4% less than for the corresponding period last year. Compared
to the previous quarter, the Power Plants order intake increased 66% (EUR 253
million in the first quarter of 2011). During the second quarter, Wärtsilä
received a 250MW turnkey project order from Estonia and a 180MW order from South
Africa, both of which rely on key characteristics of the Wärtsilä Smart Power
Generation concept. Other significant orders were received from Timor-Leste and
Saudi-Arabia.
Order intake for the Services business totalled EUR 444 million (465) in the
second quarter, a decrease of 5% from the corresponding period 2010. Compared to
the previous quarter, order intake decreased 20% (EUR 551 million in the first
quarter of 2011). During the second quarter, Wärtsilä was awarded a five-year
technical management contract, based on Dynamic Maintenance Planning, covering a
total of 24 Wärtsilä 50DF dual-fuel engines in six LNG carriers. The contract
was placed by the operator of the vessels, Ceres LNG Services Ltd, a Greek ship
management company and a major marine services provider in LNG shipping.
The total order intake for the review period January-June 2011 was EUR 2,149
million (1,998), which represents an increase of 8% compared to the
corresponding period 2010. The book-to-bill ratio for the review period was
1.01 (0.97). Â Ship Power's order intake was EUR 479 million (303), an increase
of 58% from the corresponding period last year. Power Plants' order intake was
EUR 672 million (704), which is 4% lower than in 2010. Services' order intake
for the review period totalled EUR 995 million (988), an increase of 1% over the
corresponding period in 2010.

STRATEGIC STEPS, ACQUISITIONS AND EXPANSION OF NETWORK
In July, after the review period, Wärtsilä acquired Cedervall, one of the
leading manufacturers of shaft seal and bearing systems for the marine industry.
Cedervall is headquartered Gothenburg, Sweden, and the company has subsidiaries
in Spain, China and Singapore, and manufacturing facilities in Sweden, China and
Spain. This acquisition strengthens Wärtsilä's leading position in the global
services market, in line with its strategy. The combination of Wärtsilä's and
Cedervall's businesses will create the market leader for oil & water lubricated
seals and bearings, and sterntubes. Â In 2010, the company's annual net sales
were SEK 344 million (EUR 39 million) and the company employs 211 people. The
acquisition is subject to relevant regulatory approvals, which are expected
during the third quarter of 2011.
Wärtsilä Corporation and Metso Corporation have signed an agreement to co-
operate in the development and delivery of scrubber systems for marine
applications. Under the terms of this agreement, Metso is to supply the scrubber
unit, while Wärtsilä is responsible for world-wide sales and for integrating
complete, certified and documented marine scrubber systems, including the
automation, water treatment, and ancillaries. This co-operation creates the
capability to ramp up production to meet future demand arising from increasingly
stringent emission regulations.
In June 2011, Wärtsilä and Jiangsu CuiXing Marine Offshore Engineering Co. Ltd.
agreed to establish a joint venture for manufacturing Wärtsilä 26 and Wärtsilä
32 medium-speed marine engines in China. The value of Wärtsilä's investment in
the joint venture is EUR 16 million. Wärtsilä's share of the joint venture is
49% and Jiangsu CuiXing's share 51%. The joint venture's production facilities
in the Rugao city of Nantong, Jiangsu province in Eastern China, will focus on
the assembly and testing of engines. Operations are planned to start in early
2013. The agreement is subject to relevant regulatory approvals, which are
expected during the third quarter of 2011.
During the second quarter, Wärtsilä opened a new workshop in Gdansk, Poland. In
addition to advanced engine service work, the new workshop will also provide
fuel system overhauls and overhauls of bow thruster units. Located close to the
Polish shipyards and ports, the workshop further strengthens Wärtsilä's presence
in the Baltic Sea area and its position as the leading services provider for
shipping customers visiting Poland.
RESTRUCTURING PROGRAMMES
In 2009, Wärtsilä began the process of adapting its activities to lower demand
through various restructuring measures with the aim of reducing approximately
1,800 persons. To date the total number of personnel has been reduced by more
than 1,700.
When fully implemented, it is estimated that the reductions will decrease costs
by approximately EUR 130 million. Of these cost savings, about EUR 60 million
had materialised by the end of 2010. The remainder of the savings will gradually
materialise during 2011. Wärtsilä anticipates that the majority of these cost
savings will be permanent. The total nonrecurring costs related to the
restructuring will be approximately EUR 150 million, out of which EUR 115
million has been recognised by the end of 2010. In the review period January-
June 2011, Wärtsilä recognised EUR 12 million (56) of nonrecurring items related
to the restructuring measures. The remainder of the costs will be recognised
during 2011.
PERSONNEL
Wärtsilä had 17,654 (17,905) employees at the end of June 2011. The average
number of personnel for January-June 2011 totalled 17,585 (18,295). Ship Power
employed 961 (1,010) people. Power Plants employed 811 (851) people, Services
11,083 (11,318) and Wärtsilä Industrial Operations 4,022 (4,328) people.
Of Wärtsilä's total employees, 19% (18) were located in Finland, 6% (8) in the
Netherlands and 29% (31) in the rest of Europe. Personnel employed in Asia
represented 33% (30), out of which 7% (6) were in China, in India 7% (6), in
Singapore 4% (5), and in the rest of Asia 15% (12).
MANUFACTURING
In June 2011 Wärtsilä CME Zhenjiang Propeller Co. Ltd., the joint venture
company of Wärtsilä and Zhenjiang CME Ltd., inaugurated its new manufacturing
facilities for Controllable Pitch propellers in Zhenjiang, China. The majority
of the new factory's manufacturing equipment was transferred from the Wärtsilä
factory in Drunen, the Netherlands, where production was closed in 2010. The
first deliveries from the new factory will take place later this year.
Activities in Wärtsilä's joint venture with Transmashholding in Russia are
proceeding according to plan. The joint venture is preparing to manufacture
modern and multipurpose diesel engines, including a new and technically advanced
version of the Wärtsilä 20 engine, to be used in shunter locomotives and for
various marine and power applications.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Wärtsilä and Versa Power Systems, a leading developer of environmentally
friendly, high-power solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), announced a co-operative
agreement to develop and integrate Versa Power's SOFC technology into Wärtsilä
products. A key target of the agreement is to develop commercial Wärtsilä fuel
cell products that generate power and heat for various applications in the
distributed energy and marine markets.
Wärtsilä has strengthened its offering in the mid-size, low-speed engine sector
by adding new 62- and 72-bore engines to its portfolio. These standardised
engines offer high propulsion efficiency, reliability, and optimised total cost
of ownership for customers in the bulker, tanker, and feeder container markets.
The first 62-bore engine will be available for delivery in September 2013 and
the first 72-bore engine will be available approximately one year later. All
Wärtsilä licensees will have the right to build the new engines. At launch, the
new engines are IMO Tier II compatible and available with IMO Tier III
solutions.
Wärtsilä has initiated a major project to further develop its low-speed engine
portfolio to include gas engines. For this purpose, a new test engine has been
installed in the Trieste engine laboratory in Italy. Engine testing was
initiated during the second quarter.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Wärtsilä is well positioned to reduce the use of natural resources and
emissions, thanks to its various technologies and specialised services.
Wärtsilä's R&D efforts continue to focus on the development of advanced
environmental technologies and solutions. The company is committed to supporting
the UN Global Compact and its principles with respect to human rights, labour,
the environment and anti-corruption. Wärtsilä's share is included in several
sustainability indexes.
In April, Wärtsilä entered into co-operation with Crisis Management Initiative,
an independent non-profit organisation, led by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Martti
Ahtisaari. By promoting CMI's activities in conflict resolution and sustainable
peace building Wärtsilä supports the creation of a stable business environment
globally.
CHANGES IN MANAGEMENT
Wärtsilä's Board of Directors has appointed Mr Björn Rosengren M.Sc. (Tech.),
born 1959, as the new President and CEO of Wärtsilä Corporation, with effect
from 1 September 2011. Mr Rosengren will succeed Mr Ole Johansson, who will, at
that time, exercise his right to retire at the age of 60.

RISKS AND BUSINESS UNCERTAINTIES
Risk of slowdown in the global economy continues to present a threat for
shipping and shipbuilding. For Ship Power, the main risk is the slippage of
shipyard delivery schedules.
In the Power Plants business, uncertainty in the financial markets may impact
the timing of bigger projects.
The returning uncertainty in the financial markets as well as unrest in the
Middle East and North Africa may have a negative impact on Services' order
intake, especially for larger power plant conversion projects.
The annual report for 2010 contains a thorough description of Wärtsilä's risks
and risk management.
MARKET OUTLOOK
Ship Power
Vessel ordering activity is expected to remain lower than during the previous
year. This is mainly due to lower activity in the bulk carriers markets. The
shift towards more robust contracting activity for specialised tonnage benefits
Wärtsilä Ship Power due to its strong presence in these markets. Demand for LNG
fuelled vessels in several segments continues to pick up. Wärtsilä is unrivalled
in this market, with the most extensive range of engines safely operating on LNG
and a complete portfolio of products and solutions. In Ship Power, orders for
LNG carriers have resumed and a significant number of new engine orders are
expected to materialise during the remainder of the year. Dual-fuel engine
orders for LNG carries are booked as the joint venture Wärtsilä Hyundai Engine
Company Ltd's order intake. Competition and price pressure among shipbuilding
suppliers is expected to remain intense. Wärtsilä expects Ship Power's order
intake in 2011 to be significantly better than in the previous year.
Power Plants
Recovery in the power generation market is expected to continue during 2011.
Growing emerging markets will continue to invest in new power generation
capacity, which will increase demand especially in the flexible baseload
segment. The ramp down of older coal based generation, and uncertainty over
nuclear power, will increase the demand for gas based generation in the medium
to long term. This is supported by the production of shale gas in the US, and
the expectation that natural gas prices will remain competitive. Wärtsilä
expects Power Plants' order intake to increase in 2011 compared to the previous
year.
Services
Uncertainty over economic development has increased, especially in Europe. The
service market outlook is strongest in the Middle East, Asia and the Americas,
which is in line with economic growth in these areas. The outlook for the
offshore and container markets is good, however the short term outlook is bleak
in the tanker and bulker markets. While Wärtsilä expects steady demand for power
plant services, the overall marine service market is still expected to suffer
from overcapacity and the high anchored fleet level in 2011.
WÄRTSILÄ'S PROSPECTS FOR 2011 REVISED
Due to weaker than expected marine service markets and the timing of power plant
deliveries, Wärtsilä expects its net sales for 2011 to decline by 0-5% compared
to last year. We reiterate our expectation that operational profitability (EBIT%
before nonrecurring items) will be around 11%.
WÄRTSILÄ INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-JUNE 2011
This interim financial report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 (Interim
Financial Reporting) using the same accounting policies and methods of
computation as in the annual financial statements for 2010. All figures in the
accounts have been rounded and consequently the sum of individual figures can
deviate from the presented sum figure.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the valuation of the
reported assets and liabilities and other information, such as contingent
liabilities and the recognition of income and expenses in the income statement.
Although the estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current
events and actions, actual results may differ from the estimates.
IFRS amendments
Of the amended International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and
interpretations mandatory as of 1 January 2011 the following are applicable on
the Group reporting:
* Amendment to IAS 32 Financial instruments: Presentation - Classification of
Rights Issues
* Revised IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures
The adaption of the revised standards and interpretations does not have any
material effect on the interim report.
This interim report is unaudited. All share related financial ratios and their
comparison figures have been calculated based on the new amount of shares.
