Cembrit) amounted to DKK -4,708m (end of 2012: DKK -3,183m) Working capital (excl. Cembrit) amounted to DKK 2,212m (end of 2012: DKK 1,629m) Outlook for 2013 The guidance for 2013 has been updated to include special items impacting the second quarter results and the full-year results. FLSmidth & Co. (now including Cembrit) expects consolidated revenue of DKK 26-28bn (previous expectation DKK 27-30bn) and an EBITA margin of 4-5% including special items (previous expectation 8-10%). The margin guidance still includes one-off costs of DKK -200m related to restructuring, integration and ERP/business system implementation (as announced in the Annual Report 2012), of which DKK 163m has already been booked in the first half of 2013. The guidance for 2013 has been updated to include the following special items: The launch of an efficiency programme is expected to create a sustainable EBITA improvement of DKK 750m with full-year effect in 2015. The implementation will result in one-off restructuring costs of around DKK -500m, DKK -350m of which is expected to be booked in 2013, and the remaining DKK -150m in 2014 and 2015. The second quarter result includes one-off costs of DKK -323m related to a reassessment of the order backlog in Material Handling. The reassessment is based on a more prudent evaluation of time to complete certain risky legacy contracts, which minimises the risk of further negative surprises. Cembrit will be reported as continuing business from the third quarter as a consequence of the decision to stop the sales process. The guidance for 2013 has been updated to include Cembrit's expected full year revenue of DKK 1.4bn and EBITA margin of 0%. A thorough inventory review and a more stringent assessment of ageing inventory items are expected to result in a write-down of DKK 200m in the third quarter. As a consequence of a deteriorating outlook for mining investments in general and for the Australian coal industry in particular, impairment tests have revealed indications of impairment amounting to some DKK 800m in connection with the assets acquired in relation to the Ludowici Group. The impairment loss will impact the EBIT results in Customer Services and Mineral Processing, divided approximately 60/40 between the two divisions. As a consequence of the special items it is not possible to guide on a specific tax rate for 2013. The underlying tax rate is still 36% as previously guided. Cash flow from investing activities (including acquisitions but excluding disposals) is expected to amount to the level of DKK -0.8bn (previous guidance DKK -1bn) (2012: DKK -3.6bn). Return on capital employed (ROCE) is now expected to be 7-8% in 2013 (previous guidance: 15%) (2012: 19%). Please address any questions to this announcement to Mr Thomas Schulz, Group CEO, telephone +45 36 18 18 00. An investor & press meeting and telephone conference regarding the Interim Report will be held today at 11:00 hours CET at the company's headquarters.
