Continuing subdued demand situation in major industry segments (building-,
automotive- and energy industry), stable development on average level at
mechanical engineering-, consumer goods- and household appliance-industries,
solid demand from aviation industry and railway infrastructure markets.
voestalpine shows - apart from seasonal effects - overall stable business
development in this challenging environment.
More or less full capacity utilization at all major production facilities.

half of FY 2012/13:
Operating results (EBITDA) of approximately EUR 1.4 billion, profit from
