This section contains Cargotec's IR newsletters, mainly published quarterly before the three-week silent period. You can find the most recent letter below.
As our silent period is about to start, we would like to highlight some of the most notable events of the second quarter of 2023. Cargotec’s half year report January-June 2023 will be published on Thursday, 20 July 2023, and the silent period starts on Thursday, 29 June 2023.
In April, Cargotec announced that the Board of Directors of Cargotec has decided to investigate and initiate a process to potentially separate its core businesses Kalmar and Hiab into two standalone companies. Cargotec’s intention would be to separate Kalmar as a new listed company by means of a partial demerger from Cargotec. Based on the initial assessment, the Board of Directors of Cargotec has estimated that the separation of Kalmar and Hiab could unlock shareholder value by allowing both businesses to pursue sustainable profitable growth opportunities independently.
Date (booking quarter): 6 June (Q2/23)
Business area: Kalmar
Description: Four Kalmar hybrid straddle carriers
Country/Customer: New Zealand/The Port of Tauranga
Value: Not disclosed (large order)

In May, Cargotec announced that its SSAB partnership is progressing to the next level with the introduction of SSAB Zero™, a fossil carbon emission-free recycled steel, to the cargo and load handling industry. Cargotec plans to gradually start using this steel in its products this year. The collaboration on SSAB Zero™ is a natural next step where Cargotec and SSAB continue their work together to reduce impact on climate in cargo and load handling solutions. The partnership has already resulted in the introduction of the world’s first load-handling equipment, a MULTILIFT hooklift, made with fossil-free steel.
In April, Cargotec announced that it has changed the definition of the alternative performance measure comparable operating profit and discloses figures in accordance with the new definition for the comparison periods 2020, 2021 and 2022. The restated comparable operating profit will also include the impacts of the purchase price allocation, which amounted to EUR 16 million in 2022. Comparison figures have been calculated based on the new definition, which is identical to the definition used prior to the previous change in 2021. Outlook for 2023 remains unchanged. All figures are available in a table form on the 4 April 2023 release linked above.
Also in April, Cargotec announced that the Board of Directors has decided to establish a new share-based incentive programme for the Group key employees. The reward from the new Restricted Share Unit Programme 2023–2025 is conditional on the achievement of strategic goals set by the Board of Directors. In addition, the reward is based on a valid employment or service and the continuity of the employment or service. The reward is paid in the beginning of 2025.
