Status report

GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

In the second quarter of 2011, economic development in the world's large economic regions – Europe, the USA, and China – remained solid. There were, however, increasing signs of a general economic slowdown and rising inflation. In general, the economic environment was marked by uncertainties in the Euro zone, reflected in increasingly volatile return spreads in the Euro countries.

In the USA, the annualized gross domestic product grew by around 2.5% in the reporting period, thus continuing the positive growth trend of the first quarter 2011. According to the leading economic indicators published towards the end of the reporting period, however, slight economic weakening can be anticipated for the second half of 2011, with a drop in demand in both trade and industry, as well as in private consumption. Economic experts expect that the inflation rate will continue to rise towards 4% in the coming months as a result of base effects; however, the core rate (excluding energy and food prices) should remain at a low level. As a result, the Federal Reserve is not expected to raise key interest rates during the next months.

In the Euro zone, economy also picked up further in the second quarter of 2011, although developments differed substantially from one region to another. While the economies in countries such as Germany, Austria, Finland, and the Netherlands, driven primarily by investments in construction and machinery, saw very robust development, economic output in Spain, Greece, and Portugal declined. As the rate of inflation continued to rise in the Euro zone during the reporting period, the European Central Bank, which primarily focuses on price stability, announced that it will increase key interest rates further in the next few months.

In the emerging countries of Asia and South America, economic growth remained at an unchanging high level, although rising inflation was also evident here – mainly in China. As a result, the Central Bank of China continued tightening its monetary policy in the reporting period and increased key interest rates further. In Japan, the economy contracted significantly due to the earthquake, which caused considerable loss of production in many sectors of the country's industry. Economic experts assume that the economy will continue to see only moderate development in the coming quarters.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

Sales

In the second quarter of 2011, sales of the ANDRITZ GROUP amounted to 1,087.4 MEUR, which is an increase of 31.0% compared to last year's reference period (Q2 2010: 829.9 MEUR). Significant increases in sales were achieved in the following business areas:

• HYDRO: from 357.7 MEUR in Q2 2010 to 440.6 MEUR in Q2 2011 (+23.2%)
• PULP & PAPER: from 262.3 MEUR in Q2 2010 to 413.5 MEUR in Q2 2011 (+57.6%)

METALS: from 84.1 MEUR in Q2 2010 to 91.0 MEUR in Q2 2011 (+8.2%)

ENVIRONMENT & PROCESS: from 88.8 MEUR in Q2 2010 to 105.2 MEUR in Q2 2011 (+18.5%)

In the FEED & BIOFUEL business area, sales remained practically unchanged at 37.1 MEUR (Q2 2010: 37.0 MEUR).

In the first half of 2011, sales of the Group amounted to 2,011.1 MEUR, thus increasing the level of the previous year's reference period by 28.7% (H1 2010: 1,562.2 MEUR). All business areas noted an increase in sales except METALS, where sales remained at the same level.

Order intake

The order intake in the second quarter of 2011, at 1,978.5 MEUR, reached the highest quarterly figure in the company's history and rose by 41.8% compared to the high level of the previous year (Q2 2010: 1,395.3 MEUR).

The order intake in the HYDRO business area amounted to 513.2 MEUR in the second quarter of 2011 and was below the high level of last year's reference period which included some major orders (Q2 2010: 758.6 MEUR).

The PULP & PAPER business area noted a very good order intake development during the reporting quarter. The order intake amounted to 1,226.8 MEUR, thus tripling compared to the level of last year's reference period (Q2 2010: 408.6 MEUR). This significant increase is mainly due to the major order for the supply of production technologies and equipment for Montes del Plata's new pulp mill in Punta Pereira, Uruguay (see page 11).

The order intake in the METALS business area amounted to 78.4 MEUR (Q2 2010: 98.9 MEUR).

The ENVIRONMENT & PROCESS business area was able to increase its order intake to 121.9 MEUR (+31.5% versus Q2 2010: 92.7 MEUR).

The order intake for the FEED & BIOFUEL business amounted to 38.2 MEUR (Q2 2010: 36.5 MEUR).

In the first half of 2011, the order intake of the Group amounted to 3,644.5 MEUR and was thus 58.2% higher than in the previous year's reference period (H1 2010: 2,303.7 MEUR). While the PULP & PAPER, METALS, and ENVIRONMENT & PROCESS business areas were able to raise their order intake significantly, the order intake in the HYDRO and FEED & BIOFUEL business areas decreased compared to the high level of last year's reference period.

Order backlog

The Group's order backlog as of June 30, 2011 amounted to 7,249.0 MEUR, thus increasing compared to the reference values as of June 30, 2010 (5,384.9 MEUR: +34.6%) and as of December 31, 2010 (5,290.9 MEUR: +37.0%).

Earnings

The EBITA of the Group amounted to 75.5 MEUR in the second quarter of 2011 (+39.3% vs. Q2 2010: 54.2 MEUR) and rose considerably more than sales. Thus, profitability (EBITA margin) increased to 6.9% (Q2 2010: 6.5%). Especially the HYDRO and FEED & BIOFUEL business areas were able to increase their profitability.

The EBITA in the first half of 2011 rose to 131.6 MEUR (97.9 MEUR in H1 2010: +34.4%), while the EBITA margin reached 6.5% (H1 2010. 6.3%).

The financial result in the first half of 2011 amounted to 4.0 MEUR and was thus above the reference value for the previous year (H1 2010: 3.6 MEUR).

The net income (excluding non-controlling interests) amounted to 88.5 MEUR in the first half of 2011 (+31.5% vs. H1 2010: 67.3 MEUR).

Balance sheet structure

The total assets of the ANDRITZ GROUP increased to 4,310.1 MEUR as of June 30, 2011 (December 31, 2010: 4,035.8 MEUR). The equity ratio amounted to 18.6% (December 31, 2010: 19.7%).

The liquid funds (cash and cash equivalents plus marketable securities plus fair value of interest rate swaps and loans against borrowers' notes) amounted to 1,697.4 MEUR as of June 30, 2011 (December 31, 2010: 1,617.6 MEUR). The net liquidity (liquid funds minus financial liabilities) increased to 1,264.2 MEUR and was thus higher than at the end of last year (December 31, 2010: 1,177.0 MEUR).

In addition to the high net liquidity, the ANDRITZ GROUP has credit and surety lines for performance of contracts, down payments, guarantees, etc. at its disposal:

• Credit lines: 187 MEUR, thereof 59 MEUR utilized
• Surety lines: 4,777 MEUR, thereof 2,626 MEUR utilized

Assets
1,039.8 MEUR	1,720.8 MEUR			1,549.5 MEUR

Shareholders' equity incl. minority interests: 19%	Financial liabilities: 10%	Other long term liabilities: 8%	Other short-term liabilities: 63%

Employees

As of June 30, 2011, the number of ANDRITZ GROUP employees amounted to 16,119, thus significantly above the reference values of June 30, 2010 (13,457 employees: +19.8%) and December 31, 2010 (14,655 employees: +10.0%). This increase is mainly due to the acquisition of companies.

Major risks during the remaining months of the financial year and risk management

The ANDRITZ GROUP has a long-established Group-wide risk management system whose goal is to identify nascent risks early and to take countermeasures, if necessary. This is an important element of active risk management within the Group. However, there is no guarantee that the monitoring and risk control systems are sufficiently effective.

The essential risks for the business development of the Group during the remaining months of 2011 relate above all to the Group's dependence on the general economic development and the development of the industries it serves, to whether major orders are received and to the risks they entail, and to whether adequate sales proceeds are realized from the high order backlog. In addition, unexpected increases in costs and difficulties in achieving the guaranteed performance parameters in the plants that ANDRITZ supplies present substantial risks during project execution. Non-achievement of guaranteed performance parameters can lead to penalty payments by ANDRITZ. The global economic development constitutes a serious risk for the ANDRITZ GROUP's financial development and could lead to delays in the execution of existing orders and to postponement or cancellation of existing projects. Cancellations of existing contracts could adversely affect the ANDRITZ GROUP's order backlog, which would in turn have a negative impact on utilization of the Group's manufacturing capacities.

A negative economic development may also necessitate complete or partial goodwill impairments resulting from acquisitions if the targeted financial goals for these companies cannot be reached. This may influence the earnings development of the ANDRITZ GROUP. In addition, there is always some risk that partial or full provisions will have to be made for some trade accounts receivable.

For the majority of orders, the risk of payment failure by customers is mitigated by means of bank guarantees and export insurance, but individual payment failures can have a substantial negative impact on earnings development of the Group. Risks related to deliveries to countries with medium to high political risks typically are also insured to a large extent. Interest and exchange rate risks are minimized and controlled by derivative financial instruments, in particular forward exchange contracts and swaps. Net currency exposure of orders in foreign currencies (mainly US dollars, Canadian dollars, and Swiss francs) is hedged by forward contracts. Cash flow risks are monitored via monthly cash flow reports.

The ANDRITZ GROUP's position in terms of liquidity is very good; the Group has sufficient liquidity reserves and secured access to liquidity. The Group avoids dependence on one single or only a few banks. To ensure independence, no bank will receive more than a certain defined amount of the business in any important product (cash and cash equivalents, financial liabilities, financial assets, guarantees, and derivatives). Nevertheless, if one or more banks were to become insolvent, this would have a considerable negative influence on earnings development and shareholders' equity of the ANDRITZ GROUP. In addition, lowering of ANDRITZ's credit rating by several banks can limit the financial leeway available to ANDRITZ essentially, particularly regarding sureties to be issued.

Cash is largely invested in low-risk financial assets, such as government bonds, government-guaranteed bonds, investment funds to cover pension obligations, or term deposits. However, turbulences on the international financial markets may lead to unfavorable price developments for various securities in which the Group has invested (e.g. money market funds, bonds), or make them non-tradeable. This could have an adverse effect on the ANDRITZ GROUP's financial result or shareholders' equity due to necessary depreciation or value adjustments. The crisis has also heightened the risk of default by some issuers of securities, as well as by customers.

For further information on the risks for the ANDRITZ GROUP, see the ANDRITZ annual financial report 2010.

Effects from exchange rates

Changes in exchange rates are hedged by forward rate contracts.

Information pursuant to Article 87 (4) of the (Austrian) Stock Exchange Act

During the first half of 2011, no major business transactions were conducted with related persons and companies.

Major events after June 30, 2011

The status of the global economy and the financial markets did not change substantially in the period between the date of the balance sheet and publication of the present report. The major issues of uncertainty are the continued debt crisis suffered by some countries in the Euro zone, the rising inflation, and the high public debt in the USA.

OUTLOOK

Leading economic experts forecast continuing global economic growth for the remaining months of the current year, with particularly strong growth as well as regional overheating tendencies expected for the emerging countries of South America and Asia. However, based on the economic data released during the last few weeks, economic experts expect a downturn of the US economy in the coming quarters. This may also negatively impact the economic growth in the other global economic regions.

At present, the ANDRITZ GROUP sees a good market environment and solid project activity. Only in the METALS business area, the moderate project and investment activity is expected to continue at least until the end of the year.

Based on these expectations and the business results for the first six months of this year, the ANDRITZ GROUP continues to expect a substantial increase in sales and a rise in net income in the 2011 business year compared to the previous year. If however, the global economy suffers a setback due to the Euro and US debt crises in the coming months, this could have a negative impact on the business development of the ANDRITZ GROUP.

MARKET DEVELOPMENT

Project activity for electromechanical equipment for hydropower plants remained high during the second quarter of 2011. Investment activity in Europe and North America continued to focus on modernization and rehabilitation of existing capacities, and on pumped storage power stations in order to stabilize the electric grid. The market for small-scale hydropower plants also developed very favorably in these regions. In the emerging markets – especially in South America as well as in Southern and Southeast Asia – numerous new hydropower plant projects are being planned or implemented due to the strong economic growth in these regions and the resulting rise in demand for electricity.

In the market for pumps used in irrigation and drinking water transport, the favorable project activity continued, mainly in the Middle East and in India. Investment activity was high for centrifugal pumps used in the pulp and paper industry in China, India, Brazil, and Russia.

PULP & PAPER

MARKET DEVELOPMENT

During the reporting period, the world pulp market continued its stable development of the first quarter of 2011. In the long-fiber pulp sector in particular, an unchanging high demand was evident, accompanied by a short supply. The price increases announced at the beginning of April could be enforced sooner than anticipated, with the favorable exchange rate between the Euro and the US dollar providing support to European pulp buyers. The price for NBSK (Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft Pulp) rose from around 1,000 USD per ton in March 2011 to approximately 1,040 USD per ton at the end of June. On the other hand, the price for short-fiber pulp (birch and eucalyptus) stagnated during the reporting period at around 880 USD per ton; the reason for this was the continuing good supply of pulp, accompanied by a stagnating demand and relatively high stock levels in Asia.

Project activity for pulp mill equipment continued to develop at a solid level. In addition to the order award of single greenfield pulp mills, unchanging good investment activity was noted in the modernization of existing plants, as well as in conversion of existing pulp mills for the production of dissolving pulp.
