13.11.2006
In the third quarter, the Salzgitter Group set new benchmarks in
sales and profit. The very pleasing performance of operations in
the Steel, Tubes and Trading divisions and the high profit from
the sale of the 17.2 % stake in the French seamless tubes
manufacturer Vallourec S.A. contributed to this result.
Group external sales improved to EUR 6.21 billion (9
months 2005: EUR 5.38 billion). Including EUR 907.0 million from
the sale of the Vallourec participation, consolidated pre-tax
profit came to EUR 1.57 billion (9 months 2005: EUR 595.2
million). Operating pre-tax earnings thereby stood at EUR
661.5 million. Earnings after tax stood at EUR 1.35 billion (9 months
2005: EUR 556.3 million). Return on capital employed (ROCE) posted
54.9 %; excluding EUR 907.0 million profit from the Vallourec sale,
it came to 30.8 % (9 months 2005: 36.0 %).
Consolidated Sales by Division (EUR million):
| |9M 2006 |(9M 2005) |
|Steel | 1,793 | (1,634) |
|Tubes | 1,161 | (1,039) |
|Trading | 2,871 | (2,465) |
|Services | 316 | (240) |
|Others/Consolidation | 67 | (0) |
|Group | 6,207 | (5,378) |
Earnings before taxes by Division (EUR million):
| |9M 2006 |(9M 2005) |
|Steel | 301.3 | (330.6) |
|Tubes | 184.3 | (240.6) |
|Trading | 149.2 | (59.9) |
|Services | 16.6 | (5.7) |
|Others/Consolidation | 917.0 | (-41.6) |
|Group |1,568.5 | (595.2) |
On the basis of the information currently available and estimates
concerning trends in the procurements and sales markets, as
well as the general conditions, and taking account of the
effects of the profit improvement program, the Salzgitter Group's
pre-tax operating profit is expected to reach approximately EUR
800 million in the current year. Including the income from the
sale of the Vallourec participation, this would result in a
consolidated pre-tax profit of around EUR 1.7 billion. Express
reference is made to the fact that opportunities and risks
arising from, for instance, currently unforeseeable
developments in revenue, input material prices and capacity
levels, as well as changes in the currency parity, may still affect
performance in the course of the financial year 2006.
More information can be obtained from our press release and interim
report for the first nine months of 2006 released on November 14
and posted on our web site under www.salzgitter-ag.de.
