Financial Figures/Balance Sheet/9-month report
10.02.2015

The global economic development slowed significantly in the course of
the business year 2014/15. Only North America was able to strengthen
its growth track and China remained on stable levels. In contrast
Europe is still waiting for a recovery, Japan and Brazil stay weak
and Russia is in recession. In an annual comparison voestalpine Group
held up well in this environment due to its orientation towards
technology and quality. The Group was able to increase earnings in
all reporting categories significantly, where only a part is stemming
from positive one-off effects from portfolio optimization measures.
The gearing ratio (net financial debt in relation to equity)
increased due to the redemption of the hybrid bond 2007 in October
2014, which was treated as equity in the balance sheet, in the
planned amount. The outlook for the business year 2014/15 remains
unchanged: From the current vantage point, it can be anticipated that
the operating result (EBITDA) and profit from operations (EBIT) (even
excluding the positive one-off effects) of the voestalpine Group will
be somewhat higher than the figures of the past business year.
