AT&S: In the first quarter of 2019/20 the business of AT&S recorded a stable development overall: Revenue, at Euro 222.7 mn was stable at the prior-year level, with revenue from the Mobile Devices and Industrial segments decreasing. The declines were largely offset by volume increases in the IC Substrates and Medical & Healthcare segments. Demand in the area of IC substrates, which is strategically important for the Group, is very positive. Earnings for the quarter declined as expected: EBITDA fell to Euro 34.9 mn (previous year: Euro 52.0 mn) and the EBITDA margin dropped to 15.7% (previous year: 23.4%), leading to EBIT of Euro -0.6 mn (previous year: Euro 18.3 mn). The net loss for the period amounted to Euro -6.2 mn (previous year: Euro 13.5 mn). The reasons for the current earnings figures can be found both in the market and in the substantial future investments in the strategic expansion of the business.  To strengthen the IC substrate business, the Group decided in July to further expand capacity at the locations in Chongqing and Leoben. The investment volume totals up to € 1 billion and will be distributed over the next five years. With the current investment decision, the Management Board is increasing its medium-term guidance: As part of the strategy “More than AT&S”, the Group expects revenue to double to Euro 2 bn in the next five years (previous revenue guidance: Euro 1.5 bn).
AT&S: weekly performance: -3.76%

Andritz: International technology Group Andritz saw satisfactory business development overall in the second quarter of 2019, however development by business area differed considerably. Sales rose in the second quarter of 2019 by 6.9% compared to the previous year’s reference period (Q2 2018: 1,472.1 mn) and reached Euro 1,573.2 mn. The EBITA in the second quarter of 2019 amounted to Euro 94.7 mn and was thus practically unchanged compared to the figure for the previous year’s reference period (Q2 2018: 94.6 mn) in spite of the rise in sales. Net income (without non-controlling interests) dropped to Euro 43.9 mn (Q2 2018: 56.6 mn).  In the second quarter of 2019, order intake was well above the previous year’s reference figure at 2,047.1 (+17.9% versus Q2 2018: 1,736.5 mn). This is mainly due to the Pulp & Paper business area, which was able to increase its order intake significantly in the capital equipment segment as well as in the service segment. 
Andritz: weekly performance: 1.75%
