According to the preliminary figures now available, the Salzgitter Group
generated a pre-tax profit of EUR 12 million in the financial year 2015
(2014: EUR -15.2 million). The result comprises a positive contribution of
EUR 21 million anticipated from the Aurubis participation, as well as, on
balance, a burden on earnings of EUR 74 million from the relining of a
blast furnace in the Salzgitter steelworks and from accounting-related
effects. Accordingly, the result lies within the lower double-digit million
euro range in line with the forecast for a pre-tax profit most recently
affirmed on January 14, 2016. External sales settled at EUR 8.6 billion
(2014: EUR 9.0 billion). With an equity ratio of 35 % and a net financial
position that had increased to EUR 415 million compared with the year-end
of 2014, the financial basis remains very sound. The 2015 annual financial
statements are currently being audited by the external auditor and must
subsequently be adopted by the Supervisory Board. The final figures and
further details will be published, as planned, on February 26, 2016.
This information is released in accordance with the provisions of the
German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) on ad-hoc reporting.
