***Last four quarters' EBITDA
Cargotec's CEO Mika Vehviläinen: Excellent development at Hiab continued
The development of our business continued to be positive during the second quarter of 2017. The operating profit, excluding restructuring costs, was the highest in Cargotec's history. The business developed particularly well at Hiab, where the orders received increased by 17 percent and profitability improved to a record high level. In Kalmar, the orders received declined compared to last year. Nevertheless, the customer interest in port automation solutions continued to be high. Despite the positive development of container throughput, customers are considering their larger investments carefully. Kalmar's operating profit continued to improve. The market situation for MacGregor is still difficult, even though orders received increased compared to the first quarter. We managed to keep MacGregor's operating profit, excluding restructuring costs, positive also during the second quarter.
We are especially pleased with the development of our software business during the second quarter. Our software sales grew strongly during the quarter. We also defined a broader software strategy for Navis, part of Kalmar, during the first half of the year. The strategy offers a more comprehensive set of solutions to optimise the performance of terminals and carriers. Our cloud-based collaboration model will add transparency, efficiency and profitability to the network of ocean carriers, terminal operators and logistics providers.
We are continuing to increase our efficiency as planned. During the second quarter, we announced that we are targeting EUR 50 million savings from 2020 onwards by reducing indirect purchasing spend, streamlining business support processes and establishing Cargotec Business Services operations.
