According to the still preliminary figures now available, the Salzgitter Group recorded the following results in the financial year 2024: external sales of € 10.0 billion (FY 2023: € 10.8 billion), earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of € 445 million (FY 2023: € 677 million) and a pre-tax loss of € -296 million (FY 2023: pre-tax profit of € 238 million). The result includes a contribution of € 184 million (FY 2023: € 40 million) from the participating investment in Aurubis AG accounted for using the equity method (IFRS accounting), along with € 278 million in impairment expenses as well as € 128 million in expenses in connection with restructuring. The result includes a contribution of € 184 million (FY 2023: € 40 million) from the participating investment in Aurubis AG accounted for using the equity method (IFRS accounting), along with € 278 million in impairment expenses as well as € 128 million in expenses in connection with restructuring measures. Sales and the pre-tax result were therefore in line with – while EBITDA exceeded – our forecast and the expectations of the capital market. There is currently no end in sight to the German economy's stagnation; economic policy measures of a new federal government could have a positive effect from the second half of the year. The statements of the new American government on trading policies have fueled uncertainty particularly with regard to the prospects for foreign trade. Against this backdrop, we anticipate the following for the Salzgitter Group in the financial year 2025: sales of between € 9.5 billion and € 10.0 billion, EBITDA of between € 350 million and € 550 million, a pre-tax result of between € – 100 million and € + 100 million, and a return on capital employed that is higher year on year (ROCE). Further details on the financial statements for the financial year 2024 will be published on March 21, 2025, as scheduled.
