Financial Figures/Balance Sheet
Graz, November 4, 2016. International technology Group ANDRITZ saw satisfactory business development in the third quarter of 2016. The key financial figures developed as follows:
In the third quarter of 2016, order intake amounted to 1,470.1 MEUR, thus increasing significantly by 23.8% compared to the previous year's reference period (Q3 2015: 1,187.6 MEUR). It was also substantially higher compared with the figures of the preceding quarters (+11.5% vs. Q2 2016: 1,319.0 MEUR and +17.9% vs. Q1 2016: 1,247.4 MEUR). This positive development is mainly due to the three largest business areas - PULP & PAPER, HYDRO and METALS -which were able to increase order intake compared to the previous year's reference figure. In the first three quarters of 2016, the Group's order intake, at 4,036.5 MEUR, was up compared to the level as during the previous year's reference figure (+7.1% versus Q1-Q3 2015: 3,767.6 MEUR). This increase is particularly due to the PULP & PAPER and METALS business areas.\nThe order backlog as of September 30, 2016, amounted to 7,043.6 MEUR and was thus slightly down compared to the figure at the end of last year (-3.8% versus December 31, 2015: 7,324.2 MEUR).\nIn the third quarter of 2016, sales decreased by 6.7% compared to the previous year's reference period, reaching 1,478.1 MEUR (Q3 2015: 1,583.5 MEUR). This is mainly due to the HYDRO business area which saw a project-related sales decline. Group sales in the first three quarters of 2016 amounted to 4,239.3 MEUR, decreasing by 7.6% compared to the previous year's reference period (Q1-Q3 2015: 4,589.1 MEUR).\nDespite the decline of sales, the EBITA, at 109.1 MEUR in Q3 2016, practically reached the level of last year's reference period (-0.9% versus Q3 2015: 110.1 MEUR). As a result, profitability (EBITA margin) increased to 7.4% (Q3 2015: 7.0%). The EBITA, at 292.1 MEUR, in the first three quarters of 2016 also remained practically at the same level as during the previous year's reference period (-1.0% versus Q1-Q3 2015: 295.0 MEUR), thus resulting in an increase of profitability to 6.9% (Q1-Q3 2015: 6.4%).\nNet income (without non-controlling interests) increased to 194.2 MEUR (Q1-Q3 2015: 181.3 MEUR) in the first three quarters of 2016.\nWolfgang Leitner, President & CEO of ANDRITZ AG: "In view of the continuing, difficult overall macroeconomic environment, we are satisfied with the business results achieved so far this year. For the coming months, we anticipate an unchanged project activity in the markets we serve."
For the business year 2016, ANDRITZ expects a decline in Group sales compared to 2015, but also expects solid development of profitability at the same time.
