Graz, January 13, 2014.  International technology Group ANDRITZ announces ad hoc
that further financial provisions in the middle double-digit million euro range
are necessary in connection with supplies for a pulp mill in South America.
These provisions will have a significant negative impact on the earnings of the
ANDRITZ GROUP in the fourth quarter of 2013, and consequently also on the full
year results for 2013.

The reasons for the provisions are additional project cost overruns resulting
from strikes on the site and additional expenses for construction and erection
work. From today's perspective, there is no evidence of a need for further
financial provisions - however, they cannot be excluded. Start-up of the plant
is expected in the first quarter of 2014.

As a result of all the financial provisions made for the pulp project in South
America in 2013, the EBITA of the ANDRITZ GROUP in 2013 is expected to reach
approximately 200 MEUR and, after deduction of the provisions already announced
in the third quarter of 2013 for structural improvement measures planned in the
Schuler Group (acquired by ANDRITZ in 2013), approximately 160 MEUR (2012: 357.8
MEUR), respectively. Sales of the ANDRITZ GROUP in 2013 are expected to amount
to between 5.7 and 5.8 bn. euros (2012: 5,176.9 MEUR). 

Order intake of the Group in the fourth quarter of 2013 amounted to
approximately 1.5 bn. euros, thus order intake of the Group in 2013 is expected
to reach around 5.5 bn. euros. This is an increase of about 12% compared to the
previous year (2012: 4,924.4 MEUR).

The final financial results and more detailed information for the 2013 business
year will be published as scheduled on February 28, 2014,
