Global megatrends favor Kemira

REGULATION

Safe drinking water More stringent discharge limits

GROWING MIDDLE CLASS & URBANIZATION

E-commerce /

• nline shopping

Higher use of water, energy, tissue and board

SCARCITY OF RESOURCES

Material and resource efficiency Alternative materials for single-use plastic products

Global trends favor Pulp & Paper – capacity additions in bleaching chemicals

Pulp, board and tissue markets

• Growth driven by e-commerce and growing

middle class in APAC

• Above mentioned trends have fueled growth in

pulp bleaching, Kemira’s CAGR +6% since 2014 Bleaching chemical capacity additions

• Debottlenecking done in Finland during 2018
• In Q3 2018, decided to close non-core detergent

business to direct bleaching chemical capacity to pulp customers

Regulation trends favorable to demand of water treatment chemicals

Emerging contaminants (pharma, microplastics) Better dewatering of sludge and phosphorus recovery

Increased demand for water treatment chemicals Stormwater Overflows More efficient implementation Water reuse More stringent discharge limits

• ROCE improvement driven by Industry & Water
• Ongoing investment projects are expected to improve

Group’s ROCE once up and running

• Increase in net debt resulted from the adoption of

IFRS 16 as operating leases (EUR 129 million) are part of debt

– Excluding IFRS 16 impact, net debt would have been EUR 713 million and leverage ratio 2.1 – Improved cash flow reduced underlying debt level

• Average cost of net debt excluding leases is 2.0%

and duration is 28 months

Outlook for 2019

“Kemira expects its operative EBITDA (2018: EUR 323.1 million) to increase from the prior year on a comparable basis, excluding the impact of IFRS 16 accounting change.”

Operative EBITDA figures for 2014-2018 are ”pre IFRS-16”.

• IFRS 16 will affect primarily the

accounting for Kemira Group’s

• perating leases
• Operating lease expenses are

replaced by the depreciation of the right-of-use assets and interest cost associated with lease liability

• The impact on EBIT is small positive

Pulp & Paper – driving growth as market leader

Pulp & Paper chemicals market estimated to grow 1-2%

• Pulp & Paper chemicals market drivers

– Hardwood and softwood pulp demand increasing driven by growth of packaging needs (e- commerce, non-plastic solutions), growing tissue demand and lack of recycled fiber – Demand increase continues for packaging, driven by online shopping, last-mile delivery, product safety and non-plastic solutions – Growth in tissue demand driven by increasing wealth in emerging countries – Ongoing digitalization of media drives decline of graphic paper demand

• Growth areas, pulp and board & tissue,

represent over 80% of our Pulp & Paper revenue

– Ongoing capacity additions suit well for the need

• f growing demand

REVENUE BY CUSTOMER TYPE

Strong demand in pulp market creating growth opportunities

New pulp mill projects are driven by increasing demand for board and tissue

• Food and liquid packaging board is

growing particularly fast in Asia

• Pulp is produced close to fiber sources and

then shipped to board, paper, and tissue mills or used captively in an integrated mill

• Growth in board = 1 new pulp mill per year

Multiple pulp mill projects realised and expected in Northern Europe creating

• pportunities for Kemira to grow with

the market In addition, a few large scale pulp mill projects expected in South America

Confirmed new capacity / debottlenecking 2016-2020 Possible new mills 2020-2022

Bleaching investment – case Joutseno

• In Joutseno we doubled our chlorate

capacity in Q4 2017

– Excellent timing, pulp production grew simultaneously in Finland

• Multiple pulp mills are located nearby with

annual production of over 2Mt

• Part of chlorate production can be also

exported in dry format to APAC

EUR 50 MILLION INVESTMENT IN 2017

Acquisition via JV in China

• Agreed to form joint venture with Tiancheng
• NewCo will produce mainly AKD wax and its key

raw material fatty acid chloride (FACL)

– AKD is sizing chemical used in board and paper to createresistance against liquid absorption – NewCo also plans to produce coagulants for water treatment

• Kemira strengthens its position and secures

supply of key raw material for AKD wax

• Kemira will have 80% of NewCo

– Investment for 80% around EUR 55 million

• Ramp-up after completion investments

– Good contribution to P&L after ramp-up

INVESTOR PRESENTATION

Industry & Water - stronger platform for profitable growth

Industry & Water relevant chemicals market estimated to grow 3-4%

• Demand for water treatment chemicals expected

to increase due to

– Higher demand for water driven by industrial growth and population growth – More stringent discharge limits for waste water – Better dewatering of sludge – Phosphorus recovery – Water reuse

• Higher demand for Oil & Gas solutions expected

– Shale friction reducer market expected to grow due to higher energy demand and increasing number of wells fracked – Oil sands operators face regulatory requirements for their tailings treatment – Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery lucrative in certain fields due to better yield from existing reservoirs

Kemira’s six actions for cleaner waters

1. The requirements of the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD) must be implemented fully and equally in all member states. 2. Emission limit values (especially phosphorus) in water discharges should be tightened. 3. Digitalization can improve both the quality

• f monitoring and the cost efficiency of water

treatment. 4. Emerging pollutants need to be included in the legislation. 5. Pollution from storm-water overflows must be limited and discharges safely disinfected. 6. Clearer guidance is needed on applying innovation and sustainability criteria in public procurement for water treatment.

Implementation of wastewater treatment directive varies in EU

• There are significant

implementation gaps of the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive, even though the first collection and treatment requirements

• f the Directive already

entered into force in 2001
