EANS-Adhoc: Salzgitter AG: Result of in the financial year 2009 characterized by a trend towards improved operating results, expenses incurred by structural measures, and impairments

  ad-hoc disclosure pursuant to section 15 of the WpHG transmitted by euro
  adhoc with the aim of a Europe-wide distribution. The issuer is solely

17.02.2010
As compared with the preceding quarters of 2009, the Salzgitter Group
generated a significant improvement in its pre-tax result in the 
fourth quarter. Along with the economy stabilizing at a low level, 
the measures initiated in the early months of the year to stabilize 
the result and liquidity have taken effect.
Including the contribution of EUR 60 million to the result by the 
stake held in Aurubis AG, a company consolidated at equity, and the 
overall positive valuation-related effects in the context of 
preparing the annual financial statements, the pre-tax operating 
result comes to around EUR -160 million in the financial year 2009.
The pre-tax loss of EUR 261 million from the first three quarters of 
the financial year already included EUR 37 million worth of 
impairments. In the process of preparing the annual financial 
statements, these impairments were raised to around EUR 260 million 
and focused on the Steel, Technology and Tubes divisions. Measures to
streamline structures mainly in these divisions incurred expenses of 
approximately EUR 75 million.
According to the latest estimate, the pre-tax result of the 
Salzgitter Group is likely to be around EUR -495 million.
Both the structural measures and impairment write-downs are going to 
ease the burden on the result already in the current financial year.
The financial statements drawn up for the financial year 2009 are 
still subject to the audit currently being conducted by the external 
auditor, as well as their adoption by the Supervisory Board. The 
final figures and further details will be released on March 5, 2010.
