"Our goal is to be a leading industrial and port technology company across
operations. The strategic focus areas for the next 2-3 years continue to be
growth, profitability, technology and people. In 2018, the integration will
proceed, but at the same time, we will start gearing up for growth. 

Our result improvement has been strong in 2017 as the restructuring actions of
2016 and MHPS acquisition-related synergy benefits have supported profitability
as expected. Looking at 2018, we expect MHPS acquisition-related synergy
benefits with a P&L impact of EUR 40-50 million and savings of EUR 12 million
in net interests. Our target to reach the MHPS acquisition related synergies of
EUR 140 million on a run-rate basis by the end of 2019 remains intact."
