In the first 9 months of the year, the group's business performance developed as follows compared with the prior year:
The performance of the segments in the first 9 months compared with the prior year was as follows: The 3rd quarter performance of the segments is explained in the "Segment reporting" section.
Compared with the previous forecast in the Interim Report for the 1st half of 2024 / 2025, the expectations for the group have been amended as follows:
Despite many challenges, the global economy posted robust growth of 2.8% in 2024. More moderate growth of 2.4% is predicted for 2025 as a whole, a change to the forecast rate of 2.7% presented in the Annual Report 2023 / 2024. As a result, the originally anticipated economic recovery will be pushed back further.
The development of the global economy is still largely subject to the substantial risks described in the Annual Report 2023 / 2024. The uncertainty that had arisen following the introduction of the stricter US tariff policy and had latterly ebbed slightly with a provisional agreement between the EU and the USA again increased significantly with the recent escalation in the Middle East. It also remains to be seen how the US tariff policy and the response of other economies will evolve in the future.
In 2024, the German economy shrank by 0.2% (price-adjusted) and, with moderate growth of around 0.2%, is likely to expand far more slowly in 2025 than was originally forecast. Germany's new government plans to increase infrastructure and defense spending and to implement the measures – such as tax incentives – it has announced in support of economic growth. Following moderate growth of around 1.0% in 2024, the European Union is anticipating almost unchanged growth of some 1.1% in 2025.
Current U.S. trade and foreign policy has caused uncertainty worldwide. Growth of 1.4% is expected in the USA in 2025. However, higher import tariffs and labor market instability will bring challenges in the short and medium term.
The expected development of the Chinese economy is similar to that presented in the Annual Report 2023 / 2024.

As forecast in the Annual Report, global production of cars and light trucks decreased year-on-year in 2024. However, due to the stronger fourth calendar quarter in China, production volumes were slightly higher than initially assumed. In light of the tense geopolitical situation, further negative impacts on global production volumes are possible in 2025. In global terms, the current forecast is that China's positive production trend will largely offset the anticipated declines in Europe and North America.
The outlook for the global machinery sector in 2025 is for slight growth and remains below the prediction in the Annual Report 2023 / 2024. Whereas the Annual Report 2023 / 2024 expected stagnation in Germany and slight growth in the USA, sales declines are currently forecast for both economies. The situation in the sector remains tense, also due to the persistently fraught trade disputes between the EU and the USA.
The assessments for the global construction industry have evolved in a similar way to those for the machinery sector. As a result of the sluggish recovery in Germany and the USA, the industry's situation has worsened compared with the prediction in the Annual Report 2023 / 2024. Nevertheless, it is likely to see low-level growth in 2025. However, due to the volatile market situation, the forecasts for 2025 remain characterized by uncertainty.
In 2024, global demand for steel contracted year-on-year in line with the assumptions made in the Annual Report. The decline is slightly more pronounced than was forecast in October. Demand in the EU was also weaker at the end of 2024 than it was a year earlier but was slightly more positive than had been assumed in the Annual Report.
Both global and regional estimates for the steel market are unchanged from those contained in the 2023 / 2024 Annual Report. Due to the ongoing geopolitical and trade uncertainties, the international steel association has not published an updated assessment of global steel demand trends for 2025.

At Automotive Technology, order intake and sales in the 3rd quarter were below the prior year because of declining customer demand. Only Automotive Body Solutions increased order intake slightly year-on-year.
Mainly due to lower volumes and expenses for quality issues, adjusted EBIT was below the prior year, which had benefited from positive one-time effects such as the receipt of compensation for volume shortfalls. Earnings were buoyed by factors such as the reduction in personnel expenses – despite increases resulting from collective wage agreements, also due to previous restructuring measures – and APEX measures (for example, the negotiation of new prices, claims for volume shortfalls, reduced material costs and a number of measures to increase efficiency).
Material special items resulted from restructuring expenses (€68 million).
Investments were below the prior-year level. The Steering unit continued to invest in order-related projects for electric power-assisted steering systems in Mexico and Europe, for example. Dynamic Components made order-related investments in the production of rotor and camshaft modules in Germany, Hungary, Mexico, China and Brazil.

Order intake and sales at Decarbon Technologies were below the prior year, both in absolute terms and on a comparable basis, i.e. adjusted for the effects of the sale of thyssenkrupp Industries India in the 3rd quarter of 2023 / 2024. The decline in order intake is mainly attributable to worldwide customer reticence in commissioning projects. In terms of order intake, the decline in the water electrolysis business of thyssenkrupp nucera was partially offset by growth in chemical plant engineering, which included a fertilizer plant in Algeria. Rothe Erde increased sales slightly thanks to the wind power business. Sales fell in the other businesses, mainly due to declines in the water electrolysis and chlorine-alkali businesses at thyssenkrupp nucera and in the new construction business of chemical and cement plant engineering.
Adjusted EBIT was again positive. Compared with the prior year, which had been negatively impacted by extraordinary additional costs, adjusted EBIT was increased significantly, primarily due to onetime effects (for example, the reversal of a bad debt provision of €13 million) and the improved operating performance. With the exception of thyssenkrupp nucera, which remained approximately at the prior-year level, all businesses were able to improve their adjusted EBIT. Moreover, APEX measures – especially restructuring measures, efficiency improvements and the optimization of procurement – had a positive effect on adjusted EBIT.
There were no material special items during the reporting period.
Investments in the 3rd quarter were above the prior-year level. One driver of this increase was the higher development-related investment at thyssenkrupp nucera in support of its growth ambitions. Uhde also raised investment compared with the prior year, especially for the construction of a demonstration ammonia cracker in collaboration with Uniper. Rothe Erde increased investment to strengthen its technology portfolio and implement order-related projects.

In light of economic challenges, order intake and sales at Materials Services declined due to a lower price and margin level for key product groups and weak demand in Europe. In particular, the international trading business was a negative driver. The warehousing business in North America grew slightly, mainly due to the expansion of the service and manufacturing businesses. At 1.7 million tons, sales of materials and raw materials were significantly down on the prior year (2.3 million tons).
Adjusted EBIT was below the prior-year figure in almost all businesses due to market-related developments. Once more, all business units made a positive contribution to adjusted EBIT, with the largest share again delivered by the supply chain business, which matched the prior-year level. Support continued to come from APEX measures, e.g. the far-reaching effects of restructuring measures in Germany to improve the cost base. During the reporting period, there were again further significant effects from measures such as the renegotiation of contracts with major customers at more favorable terms and initiatives to grow higher-margin sales in the North American service and manufacturing businesses.
There were no material special items during the reporting period.
Investing activities in the past quarter were again dominated by the transformation to a supply chain service provider. The digital product portfolio was strengthened and the company continued to ramp up the various investments made to grow the North American service and manufacturing businesses and the service center business in Germany. In addition, the segment made modernization and replacement investments in warehousing and service units.

Order intake at Steel Europe was below the prior-year level in both volume and value terms. In the reporting period, order volumes declined by 18% compared with a year earlier. Sales, shipments and revenues were also down year-on-year, with shipments dropping by 8%. Whereas order intake from the automotive industry remained at the same level in volume terms as in the prior-year quarter, shipments declined. Demand from industrial customers was lower overall. There was a positive trend for tinplate for the packaging industry.
Adjusted EBIT was below the prior-year figure. Compared with the prior-year quarter, lower sales and shipments and a significant reduction in capacity utilization due to planned shutdowns for conversion work had a negative impact on adjusted EBIT. This could not be offset by lower depreciation and amortization as a result of the impairment losses in fiscal year 2023 / 2024, decreasing raw material costs and positive cost effects – mainly foreign currency and inventory effects. APEX measures continued to have a supporting effect across the segment's value chain, e.g. by improving efficiency in production and logistics and delivering general cost improvements and procurement successes. One significant lever here is the simultaneous technical and commercial optimization of raw material use.
Impairment losses of €100 million, primarily on property, plant and equipment, were recognized due particularly to the gloomy economic situation and persistently high energy costs.
At the site of the direct reduction plant, further foundation work was completed and the construction measures continued. Acceptance testing has been completed for the first building shells and the first key components of the main plant units have been delivered. After a construction and installation time of around two years, the new core units of our Strategy 20-30 were successfully completed at the Duisburg site. Pivotal interfaces of the production network have been modernized and optimized with the new continuous caster 4, the extensively modernized hot strip mill 4 with two new walking beam furnaces and a fully automated slab logistics system.

Order intake at Marine Systems was significantly above the prior year, mainly due to the addition of two submarines in an extension of the order from Singapore and an addition to an existing surface vessel order. Moreover, the largest service order in the company's history was concluded to provide modernization and support services for the German Navy's six submarines. In light of the major orders received to date this fiscal year, the order backlog remains at a record level of €18.5 billion. Sales in the reporting period also increased year-on-year. The main driver of this positive trend was the progress made in new construction projects and in the service and marine electronics businesses.
In the reporting period, adjusted EBIT was below the prior-year level, due to factors such as onetime effects (e.g. for clarifying the allocation of contractual obligations in connection with long-term orders and for arbitration proceedings) and higher general and administrative expenses in the context of our goal to establish a stand-alone solution. These factors were offset by progress in the new construction business and the stable development of the service and marine electronics businesses.
There were no material special items during the reporting period.
The modernization of the shipyard at the Kiel site, which dominated investments in recent years, is now in the final phase. The basis for a sustainable improvement in efficiency has been established, enabling the shipyard to produce the larger vessels demanded by the market. In light of the order intake in the current fiscal year, it is now a matter of also modifying the site in Wismar to meet the needs of the Marine Systems product portfolio, which has resulted in higher investment.
Adjusted EBIT at Corporate Headquarters was €(41) million and thus above the prior-year figure. This resulted mainly from lower expenses for consultants in connection with the APEX performance program and lower general and administrative expenses. By contrast, there were higher expenses for the adjustment of provisions for share-based compensation.
The special items resulted mainly from expenses in connection with M&A transactions, especially consulting services relating to the planned stand-alone solution for Marine Systems (€32 million).
No material investments were made during the reporting period.
Sales in the first 9 months of fiscal year 2024 / 2025 were 6% lower than in the prior-year period. The main reasons for this were price- and volume-induced sales declines in the businesses of the Materials Services and Steel Europe segments as well as a drop in sales in the businesses of the Automotive Technology segment. These were offset especially by an increase in sales in the marine businesses, resulting from the ongoing processing of projects in the new construction business and from sales increases in the service and marine electronics businesses. At the same time, the cost of sales also decreased by 6%, which was in line with the sales trend. The main reasons were lower materials expenses as a result of the decline in sales and income totaling €79 million – a year-on-year increase of €143 million – recognized by the Steel Europe segment in connection with the measurement of CO2 forward contracts. The aforementioned improvement related to factors including income of €76 million from the termination of cash flow hedges in the 1st quarter of the reporting year. Furthermore, the impairment losses recognized in the prior year resulted in lower depreciation and amortization in the reporting period. This was offset by increased personnel expenses associated especially with restructuring measures, as well as an increase of €81 million in impairment losses, €52 million of which were accounted for by the Steel Europe segment. Moreover, there was an increase in additions to provisions, mainly in connection with the execution of construction contracts in the Marine Systems segment and expenses for quality issues in the Automotive Technology segment. Overall, both the gross profit of €2,818 million and the gross margin of 11.5% in the reporting period were lower than in the prior year.
The overall decline in selling expenses mainly related to a significant reduction in impairment losses in the Materials Services segment, lower sales-related freight expenses – primarily in the Automotive Technology, Materials Services and Steel Europe segments – and lower personnel expenses for restructuring measures in the Materials Services segment. Additional relief came from the lower valuation allowances on customer receivables in the Decarbon Technologies segment. This was partly offset by negative impacts on selling expenses, mainly from the increase of €24 million in impairment losses in the Steel Europe segment – to a total of €31 million – and from higher leasing expenses in the Materials Services segment.
General and administrative expenses were at the prior-year level overall. Personnel expenses were higher due to collective wage agreements, consulting expenses rose and impairment losses in the Steel Europe segment increased by €37 million to €58 million; these were offset in particular by lower IT expenses and insurance premiums.
The principal reason for the increase in other income was higher income in connection with compensation for electricity prices and insurance refunds in the Steel Europe segment. In addition, the hedging of operating currency risks in the Materials Services and Steel Europe segments resulted in higher gains. This was partly offset by the absence of the income recognized in the prior-year period from the entry into effect of a supply agreement classified as an embedded lease in the Materials Services segment and from charging on costs to sub-suppliers for remedying quality deficits in customer contracts in the Automotive Technology segment.
The overall reduction in other expenses included the absence of the impairment losses of €24.5 million recognized on goodwill in the prior-year period in connection with the thyssenkrupp Industries India disposal group that existed until its sale at the start of May 2024. In addition, the provisions for mining risks in the Steel Europe segment decreased due to an updated risk assessment. Moreover, expenses in the Automotive Technology segment were lower as a result of the absence of expenses to remedy quality deficits in customer contracts that were recognized in the prior-year period. This was offset especially by higher losses from the hedging of operating currency risks in the Materials Services segment.
The significant increase in other gains and losses mainly related to the gain of €321 million in the Steel Europe segment from the sale of thyssenkrupp Electrical Steel India in the 2nd quarter of the reporting year. In addition, a positive effect of €13 million came from the absence of the loss from the sale of thyssenkrupp Industries India reported in the prior-year quarter.
Compared with the prior-year period, financial income/(expense) increased by a significant €138 million to a gain of €26 million, mainly due to a reversal of impairment losses of €105 million in the 2nd quarter of the reporting year relating to the ordinary shares purchased in connection with the sale of the elevator activities. This was offset in part by the decline in interest on net financial assets.
As in the prior-year period, income tax expense was attributable to tax expense on positive earnings in foreign countries, whereas negative earnings, also as a result of impairment losses in the Steel Europe segment, did not result in lower taxes. The higher income tax expense was mainly due to a devaluation of deferred tax assets, which could still be netted against deferred tax liabilities as of September 30, 2024. In addition, the sale of thyssenkrupp Electrical Steel India in the 2nd quarter of the reporting year resulted in withholding tax expense.
After taking into account income taxes, the net loss was €121 million, following a loss of €410 million in the prior-year period. The earnings per share attributable to the shareholders of thyssenkrupp AG improved by €0.44 year-on-year to a loss of €0.28.
The liquid funds taken into account in the statement of cash flows correspond in principle to the "Cash and cash equivalents" item in the statement of financial position. As of September 30, 2024, the liquid funds reported in the statement of cash flows also include cash and cash equivalents of the thyssenkrupp Electrical Steel India disposal group.
In the first 9 months of fiscal year 2024 / 2025, there was a year-on-year improvement of €103 million in operating cash flow to a positive value of €41 million, mainly due to the overall decline in funds tied up in net working capital in the reporting period compared with the prior-year period. This was offset in part by the overall decrease in net income before depreciation and amortization and deferred tax expense, the income from companies accounted for using the equity method, net of dividends received, and the (gain)/loss on disposal of non-current assets.
The decrease in the negative cash flows from investing activities resulted mainly from the significant increase in cash inflows from disposals, with €452 million due to the sale of thyssenkrupp Electrical Steel India in the 2nd quarter of the reporting year.
Compared with the prior-year period, cash flows from financing activities improved overall by €829 million to €(903) million, mainly as the result of lower cash outflows for the repayment of bonds.

In the reporting period, the negative free cash flow improved markedly, mainly due to cash inflows from the sale of thyssenkrupp Electrical Steel India and the overall reduction in funds tied up in net working capital. Compared with free cash flow, the improvement in free cash flow before M&A – i.e. the cash inflow from operating activities excluding cash inflows and outflows from significant portfolio measures – was significantly lower. It was mainly influenced by the sale of thyssenkrupp Electrical Steel India in the 2nd quarter of 2024 / 2025, which was classified as an M&A transaction, and the associated non-consideration of the corresponding cash inflows from this sale.
Net financial assets decreased from €4.4 billion as of September 30, 2024, to €3.7 billion as of June 30, 2025, mainly due to the negative cash flow from investing activities.
The bond of €0.6 billion and the loan note of €8 million were redeemed at maturity on February 25, 2025, and June 30, 2025, respectively.
Available liquidity as of June 30, 2025, amounted to €5.7 billion (€4.6 billion cash and cash equivalents and €1.1 billion undrawn committed credit lines).

As of June 30, 2025, non-current assets amounted to €8,439 million, which was almost level with the figure as of September 30, 2024. The decline in property, plant and equipment contained in this figure resulted mainly from depreciation/amortization and impairment losses that were higher than investments and from currency translation. The impairment losses on property, plant and equipment in the first 9 months of fiscal year 2024 / 2025 were primarily influenced by the impairment losses of €297 million recognized by the Steel Europe segment. Impairment losses of €49 million related to corporate assets. The decrease in investments accounted for using the equity method was mainly due to the subsequent measurement in the reporting period of the ordinary shares recognized in connection with the Elevator investment; an offsetting effect resulted primarily from currency effects. The increase in other financial assets mainly concerned the subsequent measurement of the interestfree loan recognized in connection with the Elevator investment and the remeasurement of preference shares. The increase in other non-financial assets resulted mainly from advance payments for the construction of the direct reduction plant in the Steel Europe segment.
Compared with September 30, 2024, current assets decreased by €1,123 million to €19,795 million. The primary reason for this was the overall decrease in cash and cash equivalents by €1,313 million to €4,554 million, mainly as the result of the redemption at maturity of a bond in February 2025, the negative free cash flow and dividend payments in the reporting period. The overall negative free cash flow in the reporting period included a high advance payment received from a customer in December 2024 for the addition of four submarines in a substantial extension of an order in the Marine Systems segment. Cash and cash equivalents of €852 million in connection with the advance payment received from a customer for the addition of four submarines in a substantial extension of an order in the Marine Systems segment were subject to a restriction as of June 30, 2025. The slight increase overall in inventories resulted mainly from the materials businesses in the Materials Services segment and was induced by both volumes and prices. There were further increases in the Marine Systems segment in connection with production projects and in the Decarbon Technologies segment due to the purchase of raw materials in connection with construction contracts at thyssenkrupp nucera. There was a simultaneous reduction in inventories in the Steel Europe segment due to the significant inventory cuts made in the reporting period. The decrease in trade accounts receivable primarily related to customer payments received and reduced advance payment requirements (as a component of trade accounts receivable) at Marine Systems, partly offset by price- and volumeinduced increases in the Steel Europe segment especially. The increase in contract assets was mainly due to the execution of construction contracts in the Marine Systems segment and in the plant engineering businesses of the Automotive Technology and Decarbon Technologies segments. The overall slight increase in other financial assets resulted mainly from the accounting for derivatives; it was partly offset especially by lower claims in the Automotive Technology segment in connection with materials and components passed through to customers. Other non-financial assets decreased slightly overall. Here, a significant increase in refund claims in connection with sales taxes was partly offset in particular by lower advance payments for inventories and lower claims on the public sector in connection with the construction of the direct reduction plant in the Steel Europe segment. The decrease in assets held for sale was due to the completed sale of thyssenkrupp Electrical Steel India in the Steel Europe segment in the 2nd quarter of the reporting year.
The decline of €493 million in total equity compared with September 30, 2024, to €9,866 million, was mainly due to the net loss in the reporting period, to the losses from cash flow hedges (including losses from basis adjustments) and currency translation recognized in cumulative other comprehensive income, as well as to dividend payments. This was partly offset by gains from the remeasurement of pensions as a result of higher pension discount rates recognized in cumulative other comprehensive income.
Compared with September 30, 2024, non-current liabilities fell by a total €207 million to €6,917 million. The main causes of this were a decrease in provisions for pensions and similar obligations as a result of higher pension discount rates and the reclassification to current financial debt of a debenture bond that matures in January 2026. This was offset in part by an increase in deferred tax liabilities resulting especially from the fact that, as was the case as of September 30, 2024, a substantial amount could no longer be netted against deferred tax assets. There is no corresponding increase in deferred tax assets because these were impaired.
Compared with September 30, 2024, current liabilities fell by a total €399 million to €11,452 million. The main reason for this was the significant decline in financial debt, above all due to a bond being redeemed on maturity in February 2025. This was partly offset to a small extent by the aforementioned reclassification of a debenture bond. The overall decrease in trade accounts payable resulted principally from price- and volume-induced declines in the Materials Services segment and from decreases in the Automotive Technology segment due to shrinking business volumes. There were simultaneous increases in the Marine Systems segment. It was partly offset in particular by the significant increase in contract liabilities, resulting from an advance payment received from a customer in connection with the addition of four submarines in a substantial extension of an order in the Marine Systems segment. The decrease in other provisions primarily related to the utilization of provisions in connection with the ongoing implementation of restructuring measures; this was offset in part by increases due to recently initiated restructuring measures. The decrease in other financial liabilities was mainly in connection with the sale of the thyssenkrupp mining business in fiscal year 2021 / 2022 and related to lower claims by the purchaser as a result of the retrospective legal transfer of a construction contract to the purchaser in March 2025. The overall decrease in other non-financial liabilities was caused mainly by lower personnel-related liabilities; these were offset primarily by higher liabilities in connection with sales taxes. The decrease in liabilities associated with assets held for sale was due to the completed sale of thyssenkrupp Electrical Steel India in the Steel Europe segment in the 2nd quarter of the reporting year.
Strong values are the basis of our internal collaboration, particularly in the course of the transformation of thyssenkrupp and in a persistently difficult economic environment. They are anchored in the Mission Statement, Code of Conduct and Compliance Commitment by the Executive Board.
In addition, we continuously implemented and enhanced the thyssenkrupp compliance management system in the core compliance topics of corruption prevention, antitrust law, data compliance, prevention of money laundering, and trade compliance.
Compliance was closely involved in various questions relating to legal sanctions, implementing compliance in the supply chain and, as in the past, advising on various antitrust issues in M&A activities.
More information on compliance at thyssenkrupp can be found in the 2023 / 2024 Annual Report and on the website at https://www.thyssenkrupp.com/en/company/compliance.1)

The forecast for 2024 / 2025 is based on the current composition of the group. It does not take account of the effects of potential portfolio and restructuring measures, especially those in connection with a possible stand-alone solution for Steel Europe. The expected economic conditions and the main assumptions on which our forecast is based can be found in the section headed "Macro and sector environment" in the "Report on the economic position." For the corresponding opportunities and risks see the "Opportunity and risk report," which follows this section.
We expect the market environment to remain challenging overall, for example due to uncertainties about future global economic growth. The development of our key performance indicators could therefore be exposed to corresponding fluctuations.
In light of the expected economic conditions as of the date of this forecast and the underlying assumptions, we consider the following view on fiscal year 2024 / 2025 to be appropriate. Compared with the previous forecast in the Interim Report for the 1st half of 2024 / 2025, the expectations for the group have been amended as follows:
For further information on the expected development of our key performance indicators, please refer to the "Forecast, opportunity and risk report" in the Annual Report 2023 / 2024, in the interim report on the 1st quarter of 2024 / 2025 and in the interim report for the 1st half of 2024 / 2025.

Opportunities arise if we continue to transform thyssenkrupp into a high-performing and sustainable company and a portfolio geared to growth opportunities.
To optimally develop the businesses of thyssenkrupp, the company is continuing to focus its transformation specifically on the opportunities for our technologies arising from future-oriented issues. We can already see that the green transformation offers enormous potential for further profitable growth both now and, in particular, in the medium and long term, for example, in the areas of hydrogen, green chemicals, renewable energy, e-mobility and supply chains.
From the present standpoint, there are still no risks that threaten the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Global economic development remains subject to substantial risks. Alongside ongoing geopolitical conflicts such as the war in Ukraine, the growing escalation in the Middle East and the tensions between China and Taiwan, current US trade policy is having a negative impact. The introduction of general import tariffs and specific customs tariffs for significant trading partners like the EU and China is curbing international trade and causing instability in global supply chains. A potential escalation of these trade conflicts could further exacerbate uncertainty on the markets and result in high macroeconomic and earnings risks.
In addition, fluctuations in energy and raw material prices remain a key risk factor that is having a significant effect on economic development in the industrialized regions especially. Moreover, natural disasters connected with climate change represent an ongoing threat in many regions and could have a substantial negative impact on production and global supply chains.
New laws and other changes in the legal framework at national and international level could harbor risks for our business activities if they lead to higher costs or other disadvantages for thyssenkrupp compared with our competitors.
To ensure the success of our strategic realignment, portfolio measures and the restructuring of existing business activities are possible; these are generally associated with execution risks. In addition, our strategic businesses are regularly tested for impairment.
Compliance risks especially in the area of antitrust law may have enormous potential to cause financial and reputational damage to thyssenkrupp.
In the course of executing major investment projects with a long run time, cost overruns and/or delays in individual project phases and differences in the interpretation of the contracts concluded in connection with the investments cannot be ruled out. The same applies to the execution of major projects and long-term orders, especially in the plant engineering and marine businesses.
The number of attacks on the IT infrastructure of German companies, including thyssenkrupp, continues to increase. Human error, organizational or technical processes and/or security vulnerabilities in information processing can create risks that threaten the confidentiality, availability and integrity of information.
In addition, the detailed comments on opportunities and risks in the 2023 / 2024 Annual Report remain valid.

See accompanying notes to financial statements.
thyssenkrupp Aktiengesellschaft ("thyssenkrupp AG" or "Company") is a publicly traded corporation domiciled in Duisburg and Essen in Germany. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of thyssenkrupp AG and its subsidiaries for the period from October 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, were reviewed and authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Executive Board on August 12, 2025.
The accompanying group's condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to section 115 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) and in conformity with IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting". They are in line with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and its interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) for interim financial information effective within the European Union. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by IFRS for complete financial statements for year-end reporting purposes.
The accounting principles and practices as applied in the group's condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025 essentially correspond to those pertaining to the most recent annual consolidated financial statements with the exception of the recently adopted accounting standards. A detailed description of the accounting policies is published in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of our annual report 2023 / 2024.
The preparation of the group financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. All estimates and assumptions are made to the best of management's knowledge and belief in order to fairly present the group's financial position and results of operations; they are reviewed on an ongoing basis. This applies in particular to increasing trade tensions and political uncertainties; for further details see the presentation of economic conditions in the report on the economic position in the interim management report. In view of this and given the ratio of market capitalization to the thyssenkrupp group's equity, in both quarters selected cash generating units were tested for impairment.
In the 1st quarter ended December 31, 2024, an impairment test was conducted in the Steel Europe segment, which resulted in the recognition of an impairment loss. To determine the recoverable amount of the segment or the cash generating unit Steel Europe, the fair value less costs of disposal was calculated. Due to the pending divestment, the assets and liabilities for high-quality grainoriented electrical steel in India were classified as held for sale since September 30, 2024 and were thus no longer included in the valuation of the Steel Europe segment as of December 31, 2024 (see Note 02). The fair value less costs of disposal was determined on the basis of income (level 3 of the fair value hierarchy); a weighted average cost of capital (after tax) of 8.0% was applied to discount the future cash flows. On the basis of the fair value less costs of disposal of €2,409 million, impairment losses of €108 million were recognized on assets. The underlying cash flows are based on current assumptions for business development until 2035 / 2036, taking account of the effects of the announced adjustment of the production network and the effects of the green transformation that has been initiated. This is followed by a simplified projection up to 2064, taking into account a growth rate based on inflation expectations of 2%. The very gloomy economic situation, especially in the core sales market of Germany, the structural challenges in the German automotive industry as a key customer segment and the high degree of uncertainty – especially due to the ongoing negative effects of the Ukraine war and the continuing cyclical weakness of the global economy – were explicitly included in the sustainable shipment and margin expectations with corresponding risk discounts in the cash flows. These factors and circumstances, in combination with the persistently high costs of energy and capital and the significant investments expected in the course of business, especially in respect of the green transformation, resulted in further impairment losses. In connection with the green transformation, the economic effects expected from the ongoing construction of the first direct reduction plant and the current and expected future legal and economic conditions (e.g., trading in CO2 allowances) were considered particularly in the cash flows used for impairment testing. Of the impairment losses €56 million relate to construction in progress, €44 million to technical machinery and equipment, €3 million to other equipment, factory and office equipment, €4 million to buildings and €1 million to other intangible assets. Impairment losses of €71 million were recorded in the cost of sales, €23 million in general and administrative expenses, €12 million in selling expenses and €2 million in research and development cost. Due to the minimum carrying amount specified in IAS 36.105, €988 million of the impairment losses calculated could not be recognized. The minimum carrying amounts are essentially derived on the basis of comparative value methods and taking into account the investment grants for the direct reduction plant.
Moreover, in the 1st quarter ended December 31, 2024, an impairment loss of €20 million was recognized on assets used jointly in the thyssenkrupp group (corporate assets) that are allocated to Special Units. These assets are allocated proportionately to the cashgenerating units for impairment testing purposes as they do not generate independent cash inflows. The impairment loss results from the reduced viability of the corporate assets at Steel Europe in connection with the impairment losses recognized there in the 1st quarter ended December 31, 2024.
In the 2nd quarter ended March 31, 2025, a renewed impairment test was conducted in the Steel Europe segment, which resulted in the recognition of an impairment loss. To determine the recoverable amount of the segment or the cash generating unit Steel Europe, the fair value less costs of disposal was calculated. The fair value less costs of disposal was determined on the basis of income (level 3 of the fair value hierarchy); a weighted average cost of capital (after tax) of 7.6% was applied to discount the future cash flows. On the basis of the fair value less costs of disposal of €2,412 million, impairment losses of €93 million were recognized on assets. The underlying cash flows are based on current assumptions for business development until 2035 / 2036, taking account of the effects of the announced adjustment of the production network and the effects of the green transformation that has been initiated. This is followed by a simplified projection up to 2064, taking into account a growth rate based on inflation expectations of 2%. The very gloomy economic situation, especially in the core sales market of Germany, the structural challenges in the German automotive industry as a key customer segment and the high degree of uncertainty – especially due to the ongoing negative effects of the Ukraine war and the continuing cyclical weakness of the global economy – were explicitly included in the sustainable shipment and margin expectations with corresponding risk discounts in the cash flows. These factors and circumstances, in combination with the persistently high costs of energy and capital and the significant investments expected in the course of business, especially in respect of the green transformation, resulted in further impairment losses. In connection with the green transformation, the economic effects expected from the ongoing construction of the first direct reduction plant and the current and expected future legal and economic conditions (e.g., trading in CO2 allowances) were considered particularly in the cash flows used for impairment testing. Of the impairment losses €42 million relate to construction in progress, €40 million to technical machinery and equipment, €4 million to other equipment, factory and office equipment, €5 million to buildings and €2 million to other intangible assets. Impairment losses of €67 million were recorded in the cost of sales, €15 million in general and administrative expenses, €9 million in selling expenses and €2 million in research and development cost. Due to the minimum carrying amount specified in IAS 36.105, €750 million of the impairment losses calculated could not be recognized. The minimum carrying amounts are essentially derived on the basis of comparative value methods and taking into account the investment grants for the direct reduction plant.
Moreover, in the 2nd quarter ended March 31, 2025, an impairment loss of €16 million was recognized on assets used jointly in the thyssenkrupp group (corporate assets) that are allocated to Special Units. These assets are allocated proportionately to the cashgenerating units for impairment testing purposes as they do not generate independent cash inflows. The impairment loss results from the reduced viability of the corporate assets at Steel Europe in connection with the impairment losses recognized there in the 2nd quarter ended March 31, 2025.
In the 3rd quarter ended June 30, 2025, a renewed impairment test was conducted in the Steel Europe segment, which resulted in the recognition of an impairment loss. To determine the recoverable amount of the segment or the cash generating unit Steel Europe, the fair value less costs of disposal was calculated. The fair value less costs of disposal was determined on the basis of income (level 3 of the fair value hierarchy); a weighted average cost of capital (after tax) of 7.7% was applied to discount the future cash flows. On the basis of the fair value less costs of disposal of €2,407 million, impairment losses of €100 million were recognized on assets. The underlying cash flows are based on current assumptions for business development until 2035 / 2036, which remain unchanged from the two previous quarters. For detailed information, please refer to the above comments on the 1st and 2nd quarter of 2024 / 2025. Of the impairment losses €48 million relate to construction in progress, €45 million to technical machinery and equipment, €4 million to buildings, €2 million to other equipment, factory and office equipment and €1 million to other intangible assets. Impairment losses of €69 million were recorded in the cost of sales, €20 million in general and administrative expenses, €9 million in selling expenses and €2 million in research and development cost. Due to the minimum carrying amount specified in IAS 36.105, €553 million of the impairment losses calculated could not be recognized. The minimum carrying amounts are essentially derived on the basis of comparative value methods and taking into account the investment grants for the direct reduction plant.
Moreover, in the 3rd quarter ended June 30, 2025, an impairment loss of €13 million was recognized on assets used jointly in the thyssenkrupp group (corporate assets) that are allocated to Special Units. These assets are allocated proportionately to the cashgenerating units for impairment testing purposes as they do not generate independent cash inflows. The impairment loss results from the reduced viability of the corporate assets at Steel Europe in connection with the impairment losses recognized there in the 3rd quarter ended June 30, 2025.
In fiscal year 2024 / 2025, thyssenkrupp adopted the following amendments to existing standards that do not have a material impact on the group's consolidated financial statements:
thyssenkrupp Electrical Steel India Private Ltd. is manufacturer of grain-oriented electrical steel. In fiscal year 2023 / 2024, for market strategy reasons, the Steel Europe segment initiated the divestment process for the company. In the 4th quarter of 2023 / 2024, these activities met the criteria set forth in IFRS 5 for recognition as a disposal group for the first time. On October 18, 2024, the contract for the sale of the Indian electrical steel business to JSW Steel Limited and JFE Steel Corporation, an Indo-Japanese consortium, was signed. On January 30, 2025, the closing of this disposal took place and thyssenkrupp Electrical Steel India was deconsolidated.
In connection with the divestment process initiated, a review of the valuation of the assets in accordance with IAS 36 was conducted immediately before the first-time classification as a disposal group. This resulted in a reversal of impairments totaling €12 million because the fair value less the costs of disposal is higher than the carrying amount. Of this amount, €3 million relate to land and buildings, €8 million to technical machinery and equipment and €1 million to factory and office equipment. It was reported in the cost of sales in the 4th quarter of 2023 / 2024; at the same time, deferred taxes of €3 million were recognized. The deconsolidation resulted in a gain of €321 million, which was reported in other gains and losses in the 2nd quarter ended March 31, 2025.
The assets and liabilities that comprised the disposal group as of September 30, 2024 are shown in the following table. The cumulative other comprehensive income in the equity allocated to the disposal group amounted to €(32) million as of September 30, 2024.

As of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2025, respectively, property, plant and equipment of €6 million relating to two machines at a Slovak company in the Decarbon Technologies segment were reported in the line item "Assets held for sale" in the statement of financial position.
In the 9 months ended June 30, 2025, in addition to completing the sale of the thyssenkrupp Electrical Steel India disposal group (see Note 02) in the 2nd quarter ended March 31, 2025, the group made just one smaller sale in the Steel Europe segment in the 1st quarter ended December 31, 2024. These sales had the following total effect on the consolidated financial statements based on the values at the respective disposal dates:

Based on updated interest rates and fair value of plan assets, an updated valuation of pension obligations was performed as of June 30, 2025:
| million € | Sept. 30, 2024 | June 30, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Pension obligations | 5,598 | 5,250 |
| Partial retirement | 135 | 113 |
| Other pension-related obligations | 32 | 37 |
| Reclassification due to the presentation as liabilities associated with assets held for sale | (3) | 0 |
| Total | 5,762 | 5,399 |
The Group applied the following weighted average assumptions to determine pension obligations:
| Sept. 30, 2024 | June 30, 2025 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| in % | Germany | Other countries | Total | Germany | Other countries | Total |
| Discount rate for accrued pension | ||||||
| obligations | 3.40 | 2.98 | 3.29 | 3.80 | 2.86 | 3.58 |
The restructuring provisions included in other provisions decreased by €18 million to €269 million compared with September 30, 2024. Additions in the amount of €159 million, mainly relating to the Automotive Technology, Decarbon Technologies, Steel Europe and Materials Services segments, were outweighed mainly by amounts utilized. The provision for decommissioning obligations included in other provisions was reduced by €28 million to €294 million compared with September 30, 2024 due to an analysis and reassessment of risks of obligations associated with mining activities and recultivating landfills.
In the 1st quarter of 2024 / 2025, on December 30, 2024 the €4 million thyssenkrupp AG loan note was repaid on schedule. At the same time, a thyssenkrupp AG loan note of €4 million maturing on December 30, 2029 was placed.
In the 2nd quarter of 2024 / 2025, on February 25, 2025 the €600 million thyssenkrupp AG bond was repaid on schedule.
In the 3rd quarter of 2024 / 2025, on June 30, 2025 the €8 million thyssenkrupp AG loan note was repaid on schedule.

The buyer consortium has undertaken to indemnify thyssenkrupp against expenses in connection with the guarantees until they are fully discharged. As additional security, thyssenkrupp has received guarantees in the same amount from the buyer.
The basis for possible payments under the guarantees is always the non-performance of the principal debtor under a contractual agreement, e.g. late delivery, delivery of non-conforming goods under a contract or non-performance with respect to the warranted quality.
All guarantees are issued by or issued by instruction of thyssenkrupp AG or subsidiaries upon request of the principal debtor obligated by the underlying contractual relationship and are subject to recourse provisions in case of default. If such a principal debtor is a company owned fully or partially by a foreign third party, the third party is generally requested to provide additional collateral in a corresponding amount.
The group's existing purchasing commitments from energy supply contracts slightly decreased by around €40 million to €1.2 billion as of June 30, 2025 compared with September 30, 2024. Furthermore due to the high volatility of iron ore prices, in the Steel Europe segment the existing long-term iron ore and iron ore pellets supply contracts are measured for the entire contract period at the iron ore prices applying as of the respective balance sheet date. Compared with September 30, 2024, purchasing commitments decreased by €0.3 billion to €1.4 billion.
In the Steel Europe segment, there was a purchase commitment of €1,210 million as of June 30, 2025 (September 30, 2024: €1,374 million) relating to the construction of the direct reduction plant. This is covered to a significant extent by grants from the federal government and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. In this context, the thyssenkrupp group received payments under government grants totaling €205 million in the 9 months ended June 30, 2025 (€218 million in the 9 months ended June 30, 2024).
In December 2024, five claimants (including Meyer Werft GmbH and FourWorld Global Opportunities Fund, Ltd. under assigned rights) brought an action against thyssenkrupp Steel Europe AG, among others, for the payment of damages due to alleged excessive pricing in connection with the so called "Quartoblech" cartel in an amount of around €102 million plus interest of around €72 million. thyssenkrupp Steel Europe AG is preparing an appropriate defense.
In January 2025, NVL B.V. & Co. KG ("NVL") filed a request for arbitration against thyssenkrupp Marine Systems GmbH in connection with the K 130 corvette program. NVL is hereby asserting claims for alleged delays to the project. In addition to a pecuniary claim of around €5 million, these claims mainly relate to declaratory judgments regarding compensation in a high double-digit million amount. thyssenkrupp Marine Systems GmbH is preparing a statement of defense.
There have been no material changes to the other commitments and contingencies since the end of fiscal year 2023 / 2024.
The carrying amounts of trade accounts receivable measured at amortized cost, other current receivables as well as cash and cash equivalents equal their fair values due to the short remaining terms. For money market funds and trade accounts receivable measured at fair value, the carrying amount equals the fair value.
For the preference shares in connection with the Elevator investment, which are classified as equity instruments, the option was exercised to recognize them at fair value in equity (without recycling) due to their significance. Miscellaneous other financial assets include the loans from the elevator transaction, which are measured at amortized cost; see also Note 09. The other equity and debt instruments are in general measured at fair value income-effective, which is based to the extent available on market prices as of the balance sheet date. When no quoted market prices in an active market are available, equity and debt instruments are measured by discounting future cash flows based on current market interest rates over the remaining term of the financial instruments.
The fair value of foreign currency forward transactions is determined on the basis of the middle spot exchange rate applicable as of the interim balance sheet date, and taking account of forward premiums or discounts arising for the respective remaining contract term compared to the contracted forward exchange rate. Common methods for calculating option prices are used for foreign currency options. The fair value of an option is influenced not only by the remaining term of an option, but also by other factors, such as current amount and volatility of the underlying exchange or base rate.
Interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps are measured at fair value by discounting expected cash flows on the basis of market interest rates applicable for the remaining contract term. In the case of cross currency swaps, the exchange rates for each foreign currency, in which cash flows occur, are also included.
The fair value of commodity futures is based on published price quotations. It is measured as of the interim balance sheet date, both internally and by external financial partners. The cancellation of cash flow hedges during the 1st quarter of 2024 / 2025 resulted in income of €76 million due to reclassification from cumulative other comprehensive income. These fluctuations in fair value of CO2-forward contracts originally recognized in equity were reclassified to profit or loss when the hedged underlying transactions in form of commodity hedged cost of sales were no longer probable to occur.
The carrying amounts of trade accounts payable and other current liabilities equal their fair values due to the short remaining term. The fair value of fixed rate non-current liabilities equals the present value of expected cash flows. Discounting is based on interest rates applicable as of the balance sheet date. The carrying amounts of floating rate liabilities approximately correspond to their fair values.
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost with a carrying amount of €4,861 million as of June 30, 2025 (September 30, 2024: €5,855 million) have a fair value of €4,866 million (September 30, 2024: €5,858 million) that was determined based on fair value measurement attributable to level 2.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value could be categorized in the following three level fair value hierarchy:

The fair value hierarchy reflects the significance of the inputs used to determine fair values. Financial instruments with fair value measurement based on quoted prices in active markets are disclosed in level 1. In level 2 determination of fair values is based on observable inputs, e.g. foreign exchange rates. Level 3 comprises financial instruments for which the fair value measurement is based on unobservable inputs using recognized valuation models.
In the reporting quarter there were no reclassifications between level 1 and level 2.
Changes of the equity instruments included in level 3 were as follows:
| million € | |
|---|---|
| Balance as of Sept. 30, 2024 | 82 |
| Changes income non-effective | 7 |
| Balance as of June 30, 2025 | 89 |
The equity instruments based on individual measurement parameters and recognized at fair value solely comprise the preference shares in Vertical Topco I S.A., Luxembourg, from the investment in TK Elevator. The fair value of the preference shares is determined on the basis of a financial valuation model (discounted cash flow method), which takes account of the contractually-based expected future cash flows from the preference shares. The value of the preference shares is determined by discounting the fixed interest rate with a capitalization interest rate, the amount of which is based on the risk/return structure observable on the capital market on the reporting date. The value of the preference shares is therefore subject to capital market-related fluctuations. As of June 30, 2025, a riskadjusted discount rate of 8.57% was applied (September 30, 2024: 9.59%).
The measurement result is reported directly in equity under other comprehensive income under the item "Fair value measurement of equity instruments".
The expected default rates for trade accounts receivable are mainly derived from external credit information and ratings for each counterparty, which allows more accurate calculation of the probability of default compared with the formation of rating classes. The customer risk numbers assigned by trade credit insurers and the creditworthiness information provided by credit agencies are translated into an individual probability of default per customer using a central allocation system. This individual probability of default per customer is used uniformly throughout the thyssenkrupp group. The information is updated quarterly. If no rating information is available at counterparty level, an assessment is made based on the average probability of default for each segment plus an appropriate risk premium. For the group financial statements as of June 30, 2025, the latest external credit information and ratings were used.
The defaults refer in particular to insolvency cases that could not be derived from the rating information in the prior year.
Segment reporting follows thyssenkrupp's internal control concept.

On July 11, 2025, the Federal Council approved the reduction of Germany's corporate tax rate in steps of one percentage point each, from the current level of 15% to 10% in 2032. The impact of this reduction on the tax position of the thyssenkrupp group is currently being analyzed.
In mid-July 2025, thyssenkrupp Steel Europe and the IG Metall labor union reached consensus on the collective restructuring agreement entitled "Steel Realignment" that is intended to serve as the foundation for the future positioning of Steel Europe. Based on the industrial concept presented in November 2024 and the agreement in principle concluded in May 2025, the collective agreement defines the key elements of the operational agreements required for the restructuring, such as a reconciliation of interests and social compensation plan. The goal is to finalize the agreement by the end of September 2025. The implementation of the agreement is subject to approval by IG Metall members at thyssenkrupp Steel Europe and pending a commitment from thyssenkrupp AG to secure the financing of the costs associated with implementing the collective restructuring agreement. According to preliminary estimates, the implementation of the agreement will result in expenses in the mid three-digit million euro range. A reliable estimate of the financial impact is not yet possible at this stage, particularly due to the remaining procedural steps and the reservations regarding approval within the targeted timeframe.
On August 5, 2025, TK Elevator announced that Alat Technologies has closed the strategic partnership investment in Vertical TopCo S.à.r.l., Luxembourg. thyssenkrupp did not participate in the capital increase carried out in this connection. Moreover, we assume that future changes relating to the representation of thyssenkrupp on the Board of Vertical TopCo S.à.r.l. will result in an increase in the value of the ordinary shares in the mid three-digit million euro range that will be recognized as income in the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025.
On August 8, 2025, the Extraordinary General Meeting of thyssenkrupp AG resolved to approve the spin-off of the Marine Systems segment. thyssenkrupp AG will remain the majority shareholder with a stake of 51%. After completion of the spin-off, the Marine Systems segment will continue to be fully consolidated in the consolidated financial statements.

We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of thyssenkrupp AG, Duisburg and Essen – comprising the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated statement of income and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated statement of cash flows and selected notes – together with the interim group management report of thyssenkrupp AG, for the period from October 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025 that are part of the interim financial report according to § 115 WpHG ["Wertpapierhandelsgesetz": "German Securities Trading Act"]. The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU, and of the interim group management report in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports, is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and on the interim group management report based on our review.
We performed our review of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the interim group management report in accordance with the German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW). Those standards require that we plan and perform the review so that we can preclude through critical evaluation, with a certain level of assurance, that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU, and that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company employees and analytical assessments and therefore does not provide the assurance attainable in a financial statement audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement audit, we cannot issue an auditor's report.
Based on our review, no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU, or that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports.
