Mid Year Results
Linz - The beginning of the first half of the business year 2018/19 was
characterized by solid demand in almost all industries and economic regions
relevant to voestalpine. By contrast, the end of this period was marked by
effects of protectionist trade policies from a variety of states, for the first
time recognizable in the real economy. At the same time, considerable
distortions in the European automotive industry were triggered by a new exhaust
emission test system (WLTP).
While the effects of the trade conflict have been felt, above all, by a
reduction in economic momentum in China - of which consequences for voestalpine
were manageable - the turbulences in the European automotive industry had, at
least temporarily, a significant impact on all divisions of the group.
An additional negative factor in the second quarter was the earnings impact of
the long-planned, comprehensive renewal of the largest blast furnace in the
Steel Division due to significantly reduced production and shipment volumes as
well as a 14-day shutdown of the HBI plant in Texas due to flooding.
The expectation at the beginning of the business year, that the impact on
earnings from the blast furnace relining can be compensated by positive economic
effects (such as an ongoing swift recovery in the oil and gas sector and the
railway infrastructure sector) and additional contributions from new plants in
the second half of the year can no longer be maintained, in particular in the
light of the recently flattening economic growth momentum.
Accordingly, the outlook for the full financial year had to be adjusted. From a
present-day perspective, an operating result (EBITDA) of just under EUR 1.8
billion and a profit from operations (EBIT) of just under EUR 1 billion is
expected for the 2018/19 business year.
