Wärtsilä's prospects for 2020 reinstated
Wärtsilä expects the near-term demand in the marine and energy markets to improve from current levels. However, visibility remains limited, and the prevailing market conditions make the outlook uncertain.
Based on its current order book, Wärtsilä expects net sales for 2020 to decline by approximately 10% (EUR 5,170 million in 2019). Profitability is expected to continue to be burdened by the effects of COVID-19 and, while service demand is anticipated to improve, the seasonal pick-up is unlikely to be as strong as in previous years.
Jaakko Eskola, President & CEO
"The COVID-19 pandemic continued to limit the appetite for investments in both the marine and energy markets in the third quarter, resulting in depressed vessel contracting and the postponement of decisions on new power plant capacity. Furthermore, despite some easing of mobility restrictions, low vessel utilisation, power plant site access constraints, and customers' focus on conserving cash led to soft demand for services.
The difficult market backdrop was reflected in the low level of orders received during the third quarter, as well as in the decline in net sales from services and some delays in equipment deliveries. Profitability remained low due to COVID-19 driven cost inflation, fixed cost underabsorption, and a higher share of equipment deliveries within the net sales mix. However, a better than anticipated service mix contributed to sequential improvement, as did the ongoing temporary cost saving actions. I am pleased to note that our efforts to improve working capital, particularly in the areas of inventory management and receivables collection, resulted in yet another quarter of positive cash flow development.
Looking at the months ahead, our solid order book will contribute to a reasonable level of equipment deliveries. However, as service activity is likely to remain subdued, we expect the resulting unfavourable sales mix to put pressure on profitability. Visibility into demand development remains low, due to widespread concerns over
Wärtsilä Corporation | Interim report January-September 2020 | 3 |
escalating virus infection rates and the longer-term implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, our near-term focus will be on ensuring both a sound financial position and an optimal cost structure for the prevailing market conditions. Simultaneously, we will continue to invest in developing our digital offering and fuel flexible solutions, enabling us to capture future growth opportunities related to the decarbonisation and transformation of the marine and energy industries."

Wärtsilä's financial information for the first quarter of 2020 and for the full year 2019 has been adjusted to reflect the group's new reporting structure. As of the second quarter of 2020, Marine Power, Marine Systems, Voyage, and Energy constitute the reportable segments of the group, while Portfolio Business continues to be reported as other business activities. This restatement has no impact on the group's total financial figures.
As published in the Interim report January-March 2020, order book figures for 2019 have been restated due to the stricter requirements for booking new orders, and personnel comparison figures for 2019 have been adjusted to correctly reflect the business line composition of the Portfolio Business and a change in allocation principles. The tables in this report reflect both changes.
Wärtsilä presents certain alternative performance measures in accordance with the guidance issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). The definitions of these alternative performance measures are presented in the Calculations of financial ratios section.

Operating environment
Marine
The impact of COVID-19 has significantly disrupted the shipping and shipbuilding markets during the period January-September 2020. Shipyard delivery volumes have been globally affected by travel restrictions, yard closures, localised lockdowns, and supply chain disruptions. The pandemic has also severely dampened the appetite for newbuild investments. As a result, only 505 vessels were contracted during the period (655 over the same period in 2019, excluding late contracting), with ordering declining across all major vessel segments. Despite some easing of mobility restrictions, activity in the service market remained soft, as the decline in fleet utilisation has reduced demand for spare parts and maintenance activities across all segments.
Cruise operations continue to be heavily affected by 'no-sail orders', along with the COVID-19 infection rate, which remains high in the main cruise passenger markets. While some cruise lines have begun carefully controlled cruising in Europe, the vast majority of the cruise fleet remains idled. Ferry services have gradually resumed following lockdowns, but the number of port calls is still clearly lower than during the previous year. Low oil prices continue to put pressure on the offshore industry, where utilisation of the drilling rig and offshore support vessel fleets has declined to levels comparable to the bottom of the post-2014 market cycle. However, the expected increase in offshore wind projects will generate demand for specialised vessels, resulting in opportunities in terms of both newbuilds and retrofits of the existing oil and gas fleet. In the LNG shipping sector, project sanctioning remains weak. More positive trends started to materialise during the third quarter, with US exports recently picking up from the second quarter lows and Asian demand improving. After a deep contraction in the first half of the year, the containership sector saw a recovery in the third quarter, with volumes exceeding expectations and idle fleet capacity easing from the peaks of May. Average bulker earnings have improved since May, on the back of record iron ore imports into China and soybean exports from Brazil. Tanker market conditions weakened after record-high earnings in the second quarter, with seaborne oil trade remaining low amidst ongoing OPEC+ output cuts, whilst tanker fleet availability has increased.
The HSFO/LSFO price differential has narrowed significantly since January as a result of both the sharp decline in oil prices and improved LSFO availability. This has negatively impacted the pace of scrubber retrofits and installations on newbuilds. Although the average price spread slightly increased during the third quarter, the market for scrubbers is still characterized by a high degree of uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent turmoil in the global oil markets.
With the European Parliament approving a proposal to include shipping in its emissions trading scheme (ETS), the pressure to decarbonise is growing, with an increased uptake of alternative fuels. While LNG remains the most widely adopted alternative fuel, with 22% of tonnage contracted since 2019 set to be equipped with dual-fuel engines, R&D activities and investments are also focusing on zero-carbon fuels, such as ammonia and hydrogen, as well as on energy saving technologies.
While the pandemic has led to a significant contraction in trade volumes, it has also speeded up the digital transformation through new technologies and digital applications being adopted as a matter of necessity. The use of cloud-based remote solutions has accelerated in response to restrictions in physical travel. Ship-to-port communications, as well as document and data exchange are increasingly being handled electronically rather than via personal interaction, both on ships and in port. Furthermore, fleet optimisation technologies are increasingly being accepted as central to the global requirement for reducing operating costs and complying with environmental regulations.
Energy
The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting slowdown of economic activity continued to negatively impact the global liquid and gas fuelled power plant markets in the third quarter of 2020. While the market situation has stabilised
Wärtsilä Corporation | Interim report January-September 2020 | 6 |
somewhat and power demand has returned to near normal levels, the prevailing uncertainty regarding the duration, development, and economic impacts of the pandemic continues to cause customers to postpone investments in new power plant capacity. Furthermore, site access constraints are affecting project deliveries and field service activities, despite certain countries partially easing mobility restrictions. The energy transition is expected to slow down temporarily as a result of delays in project deliveries and investment decisions, cheaper fossil fuels, as well as the continued focus on containing the virus spread and mitigating its business impacts. Nevertheless, activity in the energy storage markets has improved, driven by the increasing need for short-term flexible capacity in power systems with a higher share of renewables. The allocation of financial stimulus packages by governments and monetary institutions to the energy sector will further support investments in green energy, although funding execution details are still pending.
Wärtsilä's market share in the up to 500 MW market segment increased slightly to 9% (8), while global orders for natural gas and liquid power plants decreased by 10% to 16.0 GW during the twelve-month period ending in June 2020 (17.8 GW at the end of March). Global orders include gas turbine and Wärtsilä orders with prime movers over 5 MW in size. The data is gathered from the McCoy Power Report.
Order intake and order book
Wärtsilä's order intake in July-September was stable at EUR 981 million (979) compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. Book-to-bill was 0.99 (0.88). Service order intake decreased by 23% to EUR 521 million (681), while equipment order intake increased by 54% to EUR 460 million (298) from low ordering levels in the comparative quarter.
Order intake in January-September decreased by 14% to EUR 3,240 million (3,772) compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. Uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its long-term implications weakened demand across all business areas. Book-to-bill was 0.96 (1.08). Service order intake decreased by 16% to EUR 1,641 million (1,957), while equipment order intake decreased by 12% to EUR 1,599 million (1,815).
The order book at the end of the period decreased by 12% to EUR 5,265 million (5,982). Cancellations during the period were largely in line with normal low levels. Wärtsilä has implemented stricter requirements for the inclusion of new and existing projects in the order book. This has resulted in orders amounting to approximately EUR 310 million being removed from the order book during January-September, primarily due to lack of progress or milestone payments not being received, as well as some cancellations. Of the total amount, EUR 45 million was removed in the third quarter. Wärtsilä's current order book for 2020 deliveries is EUR 1,196 million (1,708).

Financing and cash flow
Wärtsilä's cash flow from operating activities in July-September amounted to EUR 114 million (-61). During January-September, cash flow from operating activities totalled EUR 407 million (-63). The increase in cash flow is related to the improved working capital, which totalled EUR 431 million at the end of the period (732 at the end of 2019). The improvement in working capital was driven by decreased inventories, as well as by efforts to decrease credit risk by strengthening the collection of receivables. Advances received totalled EUR 456 million (452 at the end of 2019). Additionally, EUR 45 million of advances pertained to assets held for sale. Wärtsilä's second dividend instalment of EUR 0.24 per share (0.24) was distributed in September, corresponding to a total of EUR 142 million (142).
Wärtsilä aims to ensure sufficient liquidity at all times through efficient cash management and by maintaining the availability of sufficient committed and uncommitted credit lines. Refinancing risk is managed by having a balanced

and sufficiently long loan portfolio. Wärtsilä has further strengthened its liquidity reserves in response to the COVID- 19 pandemic. Measures taken include the extension of revolving credit facilities and the negotiation of additional loan facilities.
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 725 million (369 at the end of 2019). Additionally, EUR 20 million of cash and cash equivalents pertained to assets held for sale. Unutilised committed credit facilities totalled EUR 660 million (640 at the end of 2019).
Wärtsilä had interest-bearing debt totalling EUR 1,424 million at the end of the period (1,096 at the end of 2019). The total amount of short-term debt maturing within the next 12 months was EUR 273 million. Long-term loans amounted to EUR 1,151 million. During the third quarter, Wärtsilä finalised its COVID-19 pandemic related funding arrangements. A two-year loan amounting to EUR 40 million that was signed in the second quarter was disbursed, and additional two-year loans totalling EUR 110 million were taken.
Net interest-bearing debt totalled EUR 678 million (726 at the end of 2019). Gearing was 0.33 (0.30 at the end of 2019), while the solvency ratio was 36.0% (40.8 at the end of 2019). Equity per share was 3.52 euro (4.05 at the end of 2019).

- in January-September. Capital expenditure related to acquisitions and investments in securities totalled EUR 1 million (4). Depreciation, amortisation, and impairment amounted to EUR 125 million (141).
In 2020, capital expenditure related to intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment is expected to be below depreciation, amortisation, and impairment.
Innovations, research and development
Wärtsilä is committed to helping minimise the environmental footprint of the maritime and energy industries. Investments in R&D are central to securing Wärtsilä's future positioning, and will continue despite the prevailing market uncertainty. Developing the use of alternative, commercially viable, and environmentally friendly fuels for the future is a key focus area of research and development, as is improving the connectivity, efficiency, sustainability, and safety of customer operations through the increased use of digital solutions. With its lifecycle solution offering, Wärtsilä goes beyond mere maintenance and operation by delivering guaranteed performance based on mutually agreed target levels.
In July, Wärtsilä introduced its Compact Reliq reliquefaction plant. The system is designed to reliquefy boil-off gas (BOG) onboard gas carriers and LNG bunker vessels, and to keep the cargo cool under all operational conditions. This allows a portion of the BOG to be utilised as fuel for the vessel, while the excess can be liquefied and sold with the LNG cargo. Liquefying the BOG instead of burning it in a gas combustion unit also has a positive environmental effect, as no gases are released into the atmosphere. Thanks to its compact design, the system can be installed on existing vessels without extensive modification work. The system takes advantage of the latest digital technologies to optimise efficiency and is ready instrumented for remote monitoring and online operational support.
Wärtsilä Corporation | Interim report January-September 2020 | 10 |
In July, Wärtsilä Expert Insight, the unique digital predictive maintenance product, was made available for 2-stroke engines. This is a significant extension of the product, which was originally launched for 4-stroke engines in November 2019. Expert Insight leverages Wärtsilä's extensive know-how of predictive maintenance systems and its deep in-house experience with onboard assets. Simultaneously, Wärtsilä released a minimum viable product for scrubbers to provide continuous fleet-wide insight into vessel compliance and scrubber utilisation.
In September, Wärtsilä was awarded the first prize in the United Nations' AIS Big Data Hackathon. Altogether, teams from 17 organisations were selected to participate in the event. The Wärtsilä team, named 'Blue Carbon', developed a model for attributing the CO2 emissions from vessels to their geographical locations based on their AIS (Automatic Identification System) locations. The model supports the creation of a global map, identifying both the geographical concentrations and the build-up over time of CO2 emissions from shipping. This will enable environmental policy making to be based on factual evidence, allowing greater input from national and regional authorities to support the IMO's regulatory efforts.
Strategic projects
In July, Wärtsilä joined a global coalition dedicated to accelerating the energy transition in the transportation and logistics industries, together with a cluster of market-leading companies representing a broad spectrum of industry stakeholders. The aim of the coalition is to drive the development of energy sources and technologies in order to curb global warming, reduce air pollution, and protect biodiversity. The members will pool their R&D efforts in pursuit of three key goals: unlocking a more extensive portfolio of clean energy sources, lowering energy consumption per kilometre-equivalent for transported goods, and eliminating a substantial proportion of harmful emissions being released into the atmosphere.
Capacity adjustments
In March, Wärtsilä announced that proactive steps would be taken to minimise the negative business impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures initiated to contain it. These include reducing working hours and initiating temporary layoffs, as well as streamlining hiring and minimising the use of external personnel and consultants. Discretionary spending has also been reduced and non-critical development projects postponed. Decisions on temporary cost reduction actions have been taken in key countries and are being executed where applicable. Wärtsilä expects these measures to generate temporary cost savings in the range of EUR 100 million, of which approximately EUR 70 million had been recognised by the end of September 2020. The market situation will be continuously monitored and further actions taken as needed.
Changes in organisational structure
Wärtsilä's new organisational structure became operational on 1 July 2020. With the new structure, Wärtsilä aims to accelerate strategy execution and drive long-term performance. Marine Power, Marine Systems, and Energy will focus on delivering profitable growth by strengthening their offering of solutions and lifecycle value propositions.

Sustainability
Thanks to its various technologies and specialised services, Wärtsilä is well positioned to reduce exhaust emissions and the use of natural resources, as well as to support its customers in preparing for new regulatory requirements. 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 is also committed to supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals that deal with issues to which Wärtsilä contributes in a positive way. Such goals include those related to clean energy, a low-carbon marine ecosystem, and responsible business conduct.
Sustainability highlights from July-September included the following:
A unique profit-sharing contract between Wärtsilä and the French operator Brittany Ferries has shown clear environmental benefits. Within six months of the addition of the Trim and Speed energy management and optimisation technology provided by Wärtsilä Voyage to the 'Cap Finistere' ferry, its fuel consumption was reduced by four percent. This equates to a reduction of approximately 2,600 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, according to
Wärtsilä Corporation | Interim report January-September 2020 | 12 |
calculations made by Brittany Ferries and Wärtsilä. The contract, signed in 2018, was recently expanded to cover three more ships in the Brittany Ferries fleet.
In August, Wärtsilä was awarded a contract for two high-efficiency combined heat and power (CHP) power plant projects in Italy to be powered by the Wärtsilä 31SG gas-fuelled engine. The Wärtsilä 31 engine was chosen based on its ability to create energy cost savings through its outstanding efficiency, which also leads to a reduced environmental impact. The Wärtsilä 31SG engine fuelled by natural gas is particularly clean burning, which in turn prolongs maintenance intervals. Furthermore, CHP plants are supported by Italian governmental policies, thanks to their contribution to reduced CO2 emissions.
Wärtsilä's share is included in several sustainability indices, including Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), FTSE4Good Index Series, Ethibel Sustainability Index (ESI) Excellence Europe, MSCI ACWI ESG Leaders Index, S&P Europe 350 ESG Index, OMX GES Sustainability Finland Index, and STOXX Global ESG Leaders Index.

The COVID-19 outbreak and the measures taken to contain its spread represent the main short-term risk to business operations and the demand environment, impacting global energy consumption, seaborne trade, as well as consumer confidence in cruise and ferry transportation. Mobility restrictions continue to affect business activities, project delivery schedules, and the ability to perform service activities. Furthermore, there is still uncertainty over the duration of the pandemic, and concerns about rising virus infection rates. Disruptions to global supply chains resulting from a second wave of COVID-19 infections are a risk for both factory activity and the delivery of spare parts and services.
The risk of a prolonged period of weak demand affects the investment decisions of shipowners and operators, who are forced to re-evaluate their strategies related to both vessel newbuilding and existing fleets, and to cut capital and operational expenditures. Extensions of no-sail orders and the escalation of COVID-19 cases in the main cruise passenger markets are a risk for the recovery of cruise operations. In the offshore industry, crude oil price volatility is pushing the oil majors to reduce their spending, exploration activity, and operational costs, leading to an increasing number of laid-up drilling units and support vessels. Challenging market conditions may result in continued price pressure and an elevated risk of cancellations. Surplus capacity can drive further consolidation among shipyards, ship owners, and operators in certain segments, which may result in lower capture rates in services and equipment sales due to changed customer relationships. The average price spread between high- and low-sulphur fuels is projected to remain narrow, negatively impacting the scrubber investment case for both the existing fleet and newbuilds. At the same time, the low oil price is widening the price differential between existing fuels and green alternatives. This, combined with the challenging financial positions of shipowners and operators as well as uncertainties concerning developments in the regulatory environment, may raise the barriers for the decarbonisation of shipping.
In the energy markets, the anticipated slowdown in economic activity, currency fluctuations, and potential financing constraints are likely to postpone investment decisions for new power generation capacity. The energy transition may temporarily slow down, as the focus is on containing the virus spread and mitigating its impacts. Agreed and proposed stimulus packages to accelerate renewable energy investments still include uncertainties about the allocation of funding. However, once stimulus measures are executed, the need for flexibility in power systems will be emphasised. Geopolitical tensions and trade barrier implications are also notable challenges to the demand environment. Price pressure resulting from the prevailing competitive environment remains a risk.
The Group is a defendant in a number of legal cases that have arisen out of, or are incidental to, the ordinary course of its business. These lawsuits mainly concern issues such as contractual and other liability, labour relations, property damage, and regulatory matters. From time to time, the Group receives claims of different amounts and with varying degrees of substantiation. There is currently one unusually sizeable claim. It is the Group's policy to provide for amounts related to the claims as well as for litigation and arbitration matters when an unfavourable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Wärtsilä Interim Report January-September 2020
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 2019, except for the IFRS amendments stated below. 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 statement of income. Although the estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may differ from the estimates.
For Wärtsilä, the most significant judgements, estimates, and assumptions made by the management relate to revenue recognition, especially to project estimates for long-term projects and agreements, assumptions used in impairment testing, the valuation of trade receivables, contract assets and inventories, determining the length of lease terms, estimates and assumptions used in defined pension benefit obligations, recognition of warranty provisions and provisions for legal cases, and uncertain tax positions. In addition, valuation of assets held for sale requires the use of estimates.
The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has caused Wärtsilä to review the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of interim financial reporting. The possible impact of the situation caused by the coronavirus pandemic on the relevant factors in each estimate have been considered. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on estimates in the financial reporting rely on management's best judgement.
Significant judgement has been used when Wärtsilä management has evaluated indications of impairment. The recoverable amounts of the operating segments have been evaluated against the carrying amounts. The full financial impact of the COVID-19 outbreak cannot be quantified at this time, as it will depend on the duration and severity of the virus in different geographical areas, which largely depends on the measures taken to contain the virus, which in turn will determine the pace of recovery in these geographical areas. Therefore, estimating market development, growth, and other significant factors is challenging in the current situation. The assumptions used in the evaluation of goodwill recoverability are based on management's best estimates under the current circumstances. More information on the impairment testing can be found in the section Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.
Considering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Wärtsilä has revaluated the pension assets and obligations in all its significant pension arrangements.
Segment information
From 1 January to 30 June 2020, Wärtsilä was organised into three business areas: Wärtsilä Marine Business, Wärtsilä Energy Business, and Portfolio Business. Wärtsilä Marine Business and Wärtsilä Energy Business constituted Wärtsilä's operating and reportable segments, while Portfolio Business was reported as other business activities.
On 5 March 2020, Wärtsilä announced the reorganisation of its Marine Business into three independent businesses. The change in organisational structure is reflected in Wärtsilä's financial reporting as of the second quarter of 2020. In the new organisational structure, Marine Power, Marine Systems, Voyage, and Energy constitute the reportable segments of the Group, while Portfolio Business continues to be reported as other business activities.
Wärtsilä's highest operative decision maker (CODM, Chief Operating Decision Maker) is the President and CEO, with the support of the Board of Management, and in some cases the Board of Directors.
Marine Power, Marine Systems, Voyage, Energy, and Portfolio Business are each led by their President. Discrete financial information for each business area is provided to the CODM to support decision-making. The segment
Wärtsilä Corporation | Interim report January-September 2020 | 27 |
information presented by Wärtsilä reflects internal management reporting. Segment information is reported to the level of operating result, as items below operating result are not allocated to the business areas.
Internal sales between segments and other business activities are not reported in management reporting, but revenue and costs of sales are booked directly to the respective customer projects and orders. The main factors affecting the allocation of indirect and administration costs to the segments and other business activities are net sales and the number of personnel. Management considers these allocation principles to be the most suitable means for reflecting the costs carried by each segment and other business activities. The allocation principles are reviewed regularly.
The aim of Wärtsilä's marine business is to lead the industry's transformation towards a Smart Marine Ecosystem. Building on a sound foundation of being a leading provider of innovative products, integrated solutions, and lifecycle services to the marine and oil & gas industries, Wärtsilä aims to unlock new customer values through connectivity, digitalisation, and smart technology.
Wärtsilä's marine customer base covers all the main vessel segments, including traditional merchant vessels, gas carriers, cruise & ferry, navy, and special vessels. In the oil & gas industry, Wärtsilä is active in serving offshore installations and related industry vessels, as well as land-based gas installations. Wärtsilä's customers comprise ship owners, shipyards, and ship management companies.

Wärtsilä continues to report information for the geographical areas Europe, Asia, the Americas, and other continents. In the geographical information, net sales are split by customer destination.
New and amended IFRS standards
In 2020, the Group has adopted the following amended standards issued by the IASB.
Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations (effective for financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020). The amendments are intended to assist entities to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition. The amendments clarify the minimum requirements for a business, remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing elements, add guidance to help entities assess whether an acquired process is substantive, narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs and introduce an optional fair value concentration test. The amendments have no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Wärtsilä Corporation | Interim report January-September 2020 | 29 |
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (effective for financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020). The purpose of the amendments is to align the definition of 'material' across the standards and to clarify certain aspects of the definition. The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information, or both. The amendments have no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement,
and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (effective for financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020). These amendments provide certain reliefs in connection with interest rate benchmark reform. The reliefs relate to hedge accounting and have the effect that IBOR reform should not generally cause hedge accounting to terminate. Any hedge ineffectiveness should continue to be recorded in the statement of income. The amendments do not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In 2020 or later, the Group will adopt the following new and amended standards issued by the IASB.
Amendment to IFRS 16 Leases Covid-19-RelatedRent Concessions* (effective for financial periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020). The amendment introduces an optional practical expedient that simplifies how a lessee accounts for rent concessions that are a direct consequence of the COVID-19pandemic. A lessee that applies the practical expedient is not required to assess whether eligible rent concessions are lease modifications when the criteria presented in the amendment are met. The amendment is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts* (effective for financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023). IFRS 17 applies to all types of insurance contracts (direct insurance and re-insurance) regardless of the type of entities that issue them, as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation features. The overall objective is to provide a consistent accounting model for insurance contracts. The impact is under review within the Group.

Segment information
Wärtsilä's reportable segments are Marine Power, Marine Systems, Voyage, and Energy. Furthermore, Wärtsilä reports Portfolio Business as other business activities.
The segments and other business activities cover both the equipment sales and services for the respective business area. The segment information presented reflects internal management reporting. Segment information is reported to the level of operating result, as items below operating result are not allocated to the business areas.
The main factors affecting the allocation of indirect and administration costs to the segments and other business activities are net sales and the number of personnel. Management considers these allocation principles to be the most suitable means for reflecting the costs carried by each segment and other business activities.
From 1 January to 30 June 2020, Wärtsilä was organised into three business areas: Wärtsilä Marine Business, Wärtsilä Energy Business, and Portfolio Business. Wärtsilä Marine Business and Wärtsilä Energy Business constituted Wärtsilä's operating and reportable segments, while Portfolio Business was reported as other business activities.
On 5 March 2020, Wärtsilä announced the reorganisation of its Marine Business into three independent businesses. The change in organisational structure is reflected in Wärtsilä's financial reporting as of the second quarter of 2020. The comparison figures for the segment reporting and service information have been adjusted to reflect the new reporting structure.

Allocation of goodwill per cash generating unit
Wärtsilä has finalised the allocation of goodwill per cash generating unit. Goodwill arising from business acquisitions has been allocated to the new operating segments and other business activities, which are also Group's CGUs in impairment testing of goodwill. From 1 July 2020 onwards, these are Marine Power, Marine Systems, Voyage, Energy and Portfolio Business.
The reallocation has been performed using a relative value approach with minor exceptions.

Annual impairment testing of goodwill in 2020
The Group performed its annual impairment testing of goodwill during the third quarter of the year. Wärtsilä compared the recoverable amount of each business area against its carrying amount to define whether there were any indications of goodwill impairment.
For Marine Power, Marine Systems, Voyage, and Energy the recoverable amounts were defined based on the discounted cash flow method, derived from the order book and four-year cash flow projections. The estimated cash flows of the CGUs were based on the utilisation of existing property, plant, and equipment in their current condition with normal maintenance capital expenditure, excluding any potential future acquisitions. Cash flows beyond the four-year period were calculated using the terminal value method.
Wärtsilä Corporation | Interim report January-September 2020 | 40 |
For the Portfolio Business units, which were classified as assets held for sale, the recoverable amounts were defined based on estimations of the selling price on cash-free,debt-free basis. For the other business units, the recoverable amounts were defined based on either the discounted cash flow method or estimations of the selling price on cash- free, debt-free basis, whichever was higher at the time.
Wärtsilä has written down approximately EUR -18 million of assets held for sale due to the reclassification of Wärtsilä JOVYATLAS GmbH and Wärtsilä Valves Ltd as assets held for sale. Approximately EUR -2 million is related to goodwill. The assets relate to Portfolio Business.
As a result of the impairment test, no impairment loss for the CGUs was recognised for the financial period ended on 30 September 2020. The recoverable amounts of Marine Power, Marine Systems, and Energy CGUs exceeded their respective carrying values substantially.
Also, the defined recoverable amount of Voyage CGU exceeded the carrying amount of the unit. The key assumption for Voyage CGU is that Voyage is estimated to break even within the next few years on the EBITDA level and that its growth rate will exceed the Group average. Any future negative changes in these assumptions would have an adverse impact on the valuation of the business.
Based on the testing conducted, there was no additional impairment noted for Portfolio Business.
Inventories
The Group has drawn attention to valuation of inventories due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Main items under materials and consumables are production and spare part inventories. Inventory under work in progress relates to ongoing projects and deliveries mainly in Marine Power, Marine Systems, and Energy.
Although COVID-19 has impacted spare part sales volumes to some extent, the impact is not so significant that it would elevate the inherent risk of valuation relating to inventories. Cancellations of orders have been largely in line with normal levels in Wärtsilä. Also, Wärtsilä safeguards the recoverability of WIP with advance payments collected from customers.

During 2020, EUR 9 million (4 in financial period 1-12/2019) impairment for obsolete inventories has been recognised in the statement of income. Total value of inventories related to assets held for sale amounts to EUR 35 million (18 in financial period 1-12/2019).

Contract assets primarily relate to the Group's right to consideration for transferred goods or services, but which is not yet billed at the reporting date. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. The contract liabilities mainly relate to the advance consideration received from customers for contracts, but for which the corresponding good or service has not yet been transferred.
The contract assets and liabilities arise from long-term service agreements and projects recognised over time, such as gas solutions construction contracts, integrated solutions projects, ship design, and energy solutions turnkey contracts.
The recoverability of contract assets has been evaluated under the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk in the recoverability of the contract assets is not seen to have significantly increased. As of the reporting date, Wärtsilä has not received any significant cancellations for projects or long-term agreements under execution. Cancellations and postponements of orders have largely been in line with normal levels.

Financial risks
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Wärtsilä has reviewed its financial risks more carefully.
As a result of this review, Wärtsilä has strengthened the liquidity reserves for the Group. The Revolving Credit Facilities (RCF) having maturity dates in 2020 have been extended until the end of 2021, and their total amount has also been increased by EUR 20 million. The total amount of available RCFs, EUR 660 million, is fully un-utilised. The funding arrangements started in the second quarter for additional two-year term loans have now been finalised resulting in disbursement of loans totalling to EUR 150 million. As there are no major long-term loans maturing in the fourth quarter of 2020, the liquidity reserves are expected to remain at high level until the end of the financial period.
Wärtsilä has reviewed its receivables for credit risk. There has not been any significant indication of a change in customer payment behaviour, and thus the same principles have been applied for expected loss recognition as in the annual report 2019. The collection of trade receivables has been emphasised.

Wärtsilä does not see any significant increase in counterparty credit risk to outstanding derivatives due to COVID-19 pandemic, as only high credit quality counterparties have been used. Also, the expected credit loss from investments remain minimal, as the credit quality requirements have been tightened and no such investments were outstanding at the outbreak of the pandemic.

Derivatives under hedge accounting are expected to remain effective, as there has been no significant increase in the cancellations of orders. The hedged cash flows are still considered to be highly probable.
Events after the balance sheet date
On 1 October Wärtsilä has divested 100% of the shares of Wärtsilä JOVYATLAS GmbH and 100% of the shares of Wärtsilä Valves Ltd.
Wärtsilä JOVYATLAS GmbH was sold to Jacob Waits Industrie GmbH, a German based industry holding. Wärtsilä JOVYATLAS has been manufacturing UPS systems, rectifiers, power inverters, frequency transformers and resistors with related services for many industries already for seven decades. The company became a part of the Group as a result of the acquisition of L-3 Communications MSI in 2015.
Wärtsilä Valves Ltd was sold to an affiliate of Evergreen Capital L.P., based in New York, US. Wärtsilä Valves Ltd. supplied the entire range of three long-established brands: Shipham, John Mills and Robert Cort. Its activities included engineering, assembly, testing, sales and delivery of nickel aluminium bronze (NAB) and duplex valves for marine, oil & gas and energy markets. Additionally, Wärtsilä Valves offered applications for Valves' products, including e.g. FPSO, petrochemical facilities, power generation, LNG, naval marine, marine services, waste water treatment plants and pipelines. The company became a part of the Group as a result of the Hamworthy acquisition in 2012.

- The comparison period 2018 segment figures have been restated to reflect the organisational structure, which was in place during 2019. The comparison period 2019 and 1-3/2020 segment figures have been restated to reflect the new organisational structure.
- During 2019, Wärtsilä implemented stricter requirements for the booking of new orders, which resulted in certain projects being removed from the Energy Business' order book. The order book for the first three quarters of 2019 has been adjusted to reflect this change.
- Comparison figures have been adjusted to reflect the business unit composition of the Portfolio Business and a change in allocation principles.

Items affecting comparability
Certain income and expenses are presented as items affecting comparability when they have significant impact on the consolidated statement of income. Items affecting comparability consist of income and expenses, which result from restructuring activities aiming to adjust the capacity of Wärtsilä's operations. They may also include other income and expenses incurred outside Wärtsilä's normal course of business, such as impairment charges, acquisition related costs, settlements recorded as a result of legal proceedings with third parties or unforeseen obligations from earlier discontinued businesses.
