Metso Oyj

OTC:OUKPY

Strong quarter: Metso said Q2 was a strong quarter, with orders, sales, profitability, and cash generation all improving year over year.

Minerals led: The strongest momentum came from Minerals, where customer activity stayed healthy across both equipment and aftermarket, and order growth was broad-based rather than tied to one big project.

Margins up: Adjusted EBITA rose to EUR 221 million and the margin improved to 16.6%, helped by higher volumes, better mix, and stronger aftermarket share.

Cash solid: Operating cash flow improved to EUR 206 million, and rolling 12-month cash flow from operations reached EUR 915 million, equal to a 98% cash conversion rate.

Outlook unchanged: Management left its market outlook unchanged, expecting Minerals and aggregates activity to stay at the current level over the next 6 months.

Aftermarket strength: Aftermarket remained a major driver, especially in Minerals, where management said pricing, strategy execution, and customer demand were all supporting growth.
