Financial Figures/Balance Sheet
Most successful half year and single quarter in the history of voestalpine Group

  Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc. The issuer is responsible
  for the content of this announcement.
6-month report
20.11.2008
In the first six months of the 2008/09 business year, the voestalpine
Group was able to continue its growth path, achieving further 
increases over the previous year relative to revenue, profit and 
employees and reaching a new record high in spite of a worsening 
economic environment. Same applies for the second quarter on a stand 
alone basis with an EBIT of EUR 470.4 million (pre ppa) respectively 
EUR 427.8 million (after ppa), showing the best three months´ 
financial figures in the group´s history.
Whereas the first half of the business year 2008/09 was characterized
by new record EBIT levels of all single divisions, by the end of 
summer 2008, the crisis in the financial and capital markets had 
finally spread across the board and to the real economy. As a result 
of rapidly sinking investment and consumption quotas, the massive 
economic slump which has now occurred is expected to deteriorate 
further.
In spite of this more difficult economic environment and therefore 
weaker results for the second half of the current business year, the 
management board still intends to achieve results for the current 
business year which match those of the business year 2007/08.
