  announcement.
6-month report
19.11.2009
In spite of the continuing difficult economic circumstances during 
the 2nd quarter of the 2009/10 business year voestalpine Group was 
able not only to significantly increase its result compared to the 
1st quarter 2009/10, but also to announce profits across all 
reporting categories, including profits after tax, whilst keeping 
revenues stable. The Group has already been able to report a positive
operating result (EBIT) for the first half of 2009/10 and 
significantly improved results for profit before tax and profit for 
the period, although compared to the record levels booked during the 
half year of 2008/09 we have naturally had to accept massive 
declines.
Against the background of an economic situation which remains 
extremely challenging across all major customer industries, for the 
3rd quarter of the current business year similar results as for the 
2nd quarter can be resumed, also taking seasonal effects into 
account. From a present-day perspective, a significantly positive 
operating result (EBIT) for the business year 2009/10 as a whole can 
be expected. At the same time, it ought to be possible to reach at 
least break even regarding profit for the period (annual net profit).
