The objective of Kalmar treasury management is to secure sufficient funding for business operations, avoiding financial constraint at all times, to provide business units with financial services, to minimise the costs of financing, to manage financial risks (currency, interest rate, liquidity and funding, credit and operational risks) and to provide management with information on the financial position and risk exposures of Kalmar and its business units.
Kalmar's liquidity and funding position are strong. As at March 2024, Kalmar had 80 million euros of cash and cash equivalents as well as a net cash pool receivable from Cargotec Group of 262 million euros. Detailed information about the maturities for interest-bearing liabilities can be found from the Demerger and Listing Prospectus.
Kalmar held 300 million euros of loans from financial institutions, which were transferred from Cargotec to Kalmar on the effective date of the demerger.

Cargotec has managed its financing and cash resources centrally and cash generated by Kalmar has been returned to Cargotec either as distributions, repayments of indebtedness, internal deposits or cash pools.
