Financial Figures/Balance Sheet/annual report
05.06.2013

voestalpine with boost in earnings, high cash flow and continuing
strong deleveraging in Financial Year 2012/13

Despite the difficult macroeconomic environment, voestalpine achieved
significant gains in all earnings categories in comparison to the
preceding business year (which was affected by one-offs). All four
divisions contributed to this development with unchanged solid
profits. The Steel Division developed largely stable in an
economically very difficult environment and confirmed its position as
benchmark of the European steel industry. The Special Steel and Metal
Forming Division showed an unchanged strong profit situation despite
a moderate slowdown of earnings. The Metal Engineering Division once
more achieved outstanding results, based on its broad portfolio and
high specialization. The positive earnings were translated into
remarkable cash generation: In spite of significantly increased
investments to EUR 851.5 million (surplus of 50 % compared to EUR
574.6 million in 2011/12), free cash flow of more than EUR 500
million was obtained, which was used for both, increasing the
dividend (from EUR 0,80 to 0,90* per share) as well as further debt
reduction. Compared to the previous year, the gearing ratio (net
financial debt in proportion to equity) dropped by 9
percentage-points to 44.5 % per March 31, 2013.
