MANAGEMENT REPORT

GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

In the second quarter of 2014, economic development in the world's most important economic regions remained moderate compared to the previous quarter.

Compared to a weak first quarter, the USA saw a slight economic upswing during the reporting period. The unemployment rate dropped from 6.7% to 6.1%, and economic experts estimate a further decrease to around 6.0% by the end of the year. With some time delay this should have a positive effect on private spending, which makes the largest contribution to the gross national product in the USA. The US Federal Reserve has announced that key interest rates will remain at their historically low level close to zero and monthly bond purchases will be gradually reduced by ten billion dollars to 35 billion dollars.

In Europe, the economy continued its moderate development, with large regional differences in some areas. As a result and also in view of the imminent danger of possible deflation in the euro zone, the European Central Bank (ECB) announced that it will lower the key interest rate to a record low level of 0.15% in order to continue supporting the economy in the euro zone. The deposit rate at which banks can make short-term deposits with the ECB was lowered into negative territory for the first time in order to encourage banks to provide cash in the form of loans to consumers and companies.

The Chinese economy saw slight growth due to government incentives and will achieve a gross domestic product growth of 7.3% in 2014 according to economic experts. Economic performance continued to develop very moderate in Brazil and India, where the economy was stagnating as a result of cash outflows and increases in key interest rates.

• The Schuler Group was consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the ANDRITZ GROUP as of March 1, 2013 and is allocated to the METALS business area.

Sales

In the second quarter of 2014, sales of the ANDRITZ GROUP amounted to 1,439.9 MEUR and thus almost reached the level of the previous year's reference period (-0.4% versus Q2 2013: 1,446.3 MEUR). The Schuler Group contributed 282.2 MEUR (Q2 2013: 265.4 MEUR) – excluding Schuler, the Group's sales would have decreased by 2.0%. While sales in the HYDRO business area declined by 5.7% and in the PULP & PAPER business area by 2.1% compared to the previous year's reference period, sales in the METALS business area increased by 12.2%; excluding Schuler, the business area's sales would have increased significantly by 31.2%, which is attributable particularly to the high order intake in the past three quarters. In the SEPARATION business area, sales decreased by 7.9% compared to the second quarter of 2013.

In the first half of 2014, sales of the Group reached 2,659.4 MEUR, which is a slight increase of 1.9% compared to the previous year's reference period (H1 2013: 2,610.1 MEUR). The business areas' sales development at a glance:

Order intake

In the second quarter of 2014, the order intake of the Group amounted to 1,238.0 MEUR and was thus practically unchanged compared to the level of last year's reference period (Q2 2013: 1,237.7 MEUR), with the Schuler Group contributing 234.8 MEUR (Q2 2013: 235.0 MEUR). The business areas' development in detail:

• HYDRO: At 291.4 MEUR, the order intake was slightly above the previous year's reference figure, however the overall level was low (+4.0% versus Q2 2013: 280.1 MEUR).
• PULP & PAPER: The development in order intake was satisfactory, rising slightly to 402.4 MEUR compared to the last year's reference period (+2.8% versus Q2 2013: 391.5 MEUR).
• METALS: At 377.8 MEUR, the order intake was only slightly below the high level of the previous year (-3.1% versus Q2 2013: 390.0 MEUR); excluding Schuler, the order intake would have declined by 7.7%.
• SEPARATION: The order intake amounted to 166.4 MEUR, thus declining by 5.5% compared to the second quarter of 2013 (176.1 MEUR).

In the first half of 2014, the Group's order intake of 2,980.2 MEUR was well above the previous year's reference figure (+18.0% versus H1 2013: 2,526.0 MEUR). The Schuler Group contributed 554.6 MEUR; excluding Schuler, the order intake of the Group would have increased by 10.5% compared to the first half of 2013.This significant increase is mainly due to the good order intake in the PULP & PAPER and METALS business areas in the first quarter of 2014.

Order backlog

As of June 30, 2014, the order backlog of the ANDRITZ GROUP amounted to 7,555.7 MEUR and thus rose by 2.3% compared to the end of last year (December 31, 2013: 7,388.5 MEUR). Schuler contributed 1,053.7 MEUR to the order backlog.

Earnings

The EBITA of the Group amounted to 84.8 MEUR in the second quarter of 2014 and was thus 2.5% above the reference figure for the previous year (Q2 2013: 82.7 MEUR). The EBITA margin reached 5.9% (Q2 2013: 5.7%). While the EBITA margin in the HYDRO business area remained at a satisfactory level (7.3% in Q2 2014 versus 7.4% in Q2 2013), the margin in the PULP & PAPER business area increased, compared to the low figure for the previous year's reference period, from 4.6 to 5.8%. In the METALS business area, the EBITA margin decreased slightly (6.5% in Q2 2014 versus 6.9%). The SEPARATION business area continues to be impacted by low sales and follow-up costs on equipment delivered in previous years, thus the margin saw a somewhat sharper decline to -0.3% (Q2 2013: 1.3%).

In the first half of 2014, the Group's EBITA amounted to 133.4 MEUR (+37.7% versus H1 2013: 96.9 MEUR) and the EBITA margin to 5.0% (H1 2013: 3.7%). As a result, earnings were considerably above the very low reference figure for the previous year, which was strongly negatively impacted by high provisions booked for a pulp mill project in South America.

The financial result, at -1.7 MEUR, was above the reference figure for the previous year (H1 2013: -3.0 MEUR).

Net income (excluding non-controlling interests) reached 66.7 MEUR and was thus significantly above the very low reference figure for the previous year (H1 2013: 46.9 MEUR).

Net worth position and capital structure

The net worth position and capital structure as of June 30, 2014 remained solid. Total assets amounted to 5,587.5 MEUR (December 31, 2013: 5,571.4 MEUR). The equity ratio reached 16.9% (December 31, 2013: 16.7%).

Liquid funds (cash and cash equivalents plus marketable securities plus loans against borrowers' notes) amounted to 1,497.7 MEUR (December 31, 2013: 1,517.0 MEUR), net liquidity (liquid funds plus fair value of interest rate swaps minus financial liabilities) amounted to 868.8 MEUR (December 31, 2013: 893.1 MEUR).

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

• Credit lines: 347 MEUR, thereof 114 MEUR utilized
• Surety and guarantee lines: 5,672 MEUR, thereof 2,931 MEUR utilized

Employees

As of June 30, 2014, the number of ANDRITZ employees amounted to 24,126 (+1.7% versus December 31, 2013: 23,713 employees).

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 at an early stage and 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 ANDRITZ GROUP relate above all to the Group's dependence on the general economic environment 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. Furthermore, unexpected cost increases during the execution of orders constitute a considerable risk, particularly in so-called turnkey or EPC orders, where the Group also assumes responsibility for engineering, civil work, and erection of a factory in addition to delivery of ANDRITZ equipment and systems. Projects of this kind involve high risks concerning cooperation with third parties contracted to carry out engineering, as well as civil and construction work (for example the risk of strikes, failure to meet deadlines, or quality problems of components/services purchased from sub-suppliers). Delays and difficulties in achieving the guaranteed performance parameters in the plants that ANDRITZ supplies as well as a possible malfunction in

the components and systems supplied by ANDRITZ, that can have serious consequences for individuals and on material assets, also pose substantial risks.

The financial difficulties and the continuing, challenging overall economic development (particularly in Europe and the USA) also constitute a serious risk for the ANDRITZ GROUP's financial development. In addition, a possible greater slowdown in economic activities in the emerging markets also creates a risk for the Group. The weak economy may lead to delays in the execution of existing orders and to the postponement or cancellation of existing projects. Cancellations of existing contracts could adversely affect the ANDRITZ GROUP's order backlog, which in turn would have a negative impact on the utilization of the Group's manufacturing capacities.

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

The Schuler Group acquired in 2013 derives approximately 80% of its sales from the automotive industry, which is generally exposed to severe cyclical swings. Thus, possible negative cyclical fluctuations can have a negative impact on the sales and earnings development of the Schuler Group and thus of the ANDRITZ GROUP. Potential further expenses for continuation of the "Growing Together" growth and strategy program initiated by Schuler in 2011 to integrate the Müller-Weingarten company could possibly have a negative impact on the earnings of Schuler, and thus of the ANDRITZ GROUP, in 2014.

For the majority of orders, the risk of payment failure by customers is mitigated by means of bank guarantees and export insurance. However, there is no guarantee that there will not be any individual payment failures that will have a substantial negative impact on earnings development of the Group if they do occur. Risks related to deliveries to countries with medium to high political risks are typically also insured to a large extent. However, the requirements for full hedging of these risks are not always available. Quarterly credit risk reporting (CRR) to the Executive Board has been introduced in order to ensure transparency with respect to financial risks on projects and to implement immediate countermeasures if necessary. It shows the maximum expected unsecured credit risk for external orders with a value of over one million euros, which are billed according to percentage of completion (POC), as well as customer ratings.

ANDRITZ has substantial tax credits in Brazil from various transfer taxes. Some of these tax credits were seized as security by the tax authorities for tax liabilities of the minority shareholder of ANDRITZ's affiliate ANDRITZ HYDRO Inepar. Although the laws of Brazil do not allow access to the company's assets for the liabilities of a minority shareholder, the possibility of payment default on some of the tax receivables in Brazil cannot be excluded.

In the course of its business, the ANDRITZ GROUP is party to numerous legal proceedings before both administrative and judicial courts and bodies, as well as before arbitration tribunals. The substantial majority of such proceedings is of a nature considered typical of the Group's business, including contract and project disputes, product liability claims, and intellectual property litigation. Where appropriate, provisions are made to cover the expected outcome of proceedings to the extent that negative outcomes are likely and reliable estimates can be made. There is no guarantee, however, that these provisions will be sufficient. A negative decision for ANDRITZ in one or several of these legal disputes may have an adverse effect on the earnings and liquidity position of the Group. The product liability cases include a number of cases alleging injuries and/or death resulting from exposure to asbestos.

Exchange rate risks in connection with the execution of the order backlog are minimized and controlled by derivative financial instruments, in particular by forward exchange contracts and swaps. Net currency exposure of orders in foreign currencies is hedged by forward contracts.

In order to minimize the financial risks as best possible and to enhance monitoring, control, and assessment of its financial and liquidity position, the ANDRITZ GROUP implemented both a comprehensive treasury policy and a transparent information system. Cash flow risks are monitored via monthly cash flow reports.

The ANDRITZ GROUP's position in terms of liquidity is very good, and the Group has high liquidity reserves. 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). With this diversification, ANDRITZ is seeking to minimize the counterparty risk as best possible. Nevertheless, if one or more banks were to become insolvent, this would have a considerable negative influence on the earnings development and shareholders' equity of the ANDRITZ GROUP. In addition, the lowering of ANDRITZ's credit rating by several banks can limit the financial leeway available to ANDRITZ, particularly regarding sureties to be issued.

ANDRITZ pursues a risk-averse investment strategy. Cash is largely invested in low-risk financial assets, such as government bonds, government-guaranteed bonds, investment funds to cover pension obligations, loans against borrowers' notes insured by a certificate of deposit, 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 or make them non-tradable. 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. The Executive Board is informed at regular intervals of the extent and volume of current risk exposure in the ANDRITZ GROUP.

Although the risk of the complete or partial decline of the euro zone and of a possible collapse of the euro currency system has diminished in the past few months, the possibility cannot be ruled out entirely. In such negative case, a complete or partial decline of the euro zone would very probably have a negative effect on the financial, liquidity, and earnings development of the ANDRITZ GROUP. For further information on the risks for the ANDRITZ GROUP, please refer to the ANDRITZ annual financial report 2013.

Impact of exchange rate fluctuations

Fluctuations in exchange rates in connection with the execution of the order backlog are largely hedged by forward rate contracts. Exchange rate risks resulting from the recognition of equity are not hedged.

The currency devaluations at the beginning of 2014 in many emerging countries, such as Brazil, Argentina, Indonesia, Turkey, and India, as well as the subsequent increase in key interest rates by the respective central banks could also lead to a significant weakening of the economy in these countries, which may have a negative impact on the development of sales, earnings, and order intake of the ANDRITZ GROUP. In addition, projects in these countries may be canceled or delayed because currency devaluations have made many projects considerably more expensive for customers and thus substantially reduced their profitability. The weakness of currencies in many emerging countries could negatively impact the consolidated balance sheet as well as sales and earnings development of the ANDRITZ GROUP (translation risk).

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

During the reporting period, no major business transactions were conducted with related persons and companies.

Important events after June 30, 2014

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.

OUTLOOK

For the coming months, leading economic experts expect unchanged, moderate economic development in the most important regions of the world. In view of these conditions, no substantial change is expected in project activity during the remaining months of the 2014 business year compared to the level of 2013 in the markets served by the ANDRITZ GROUP.

On the basis of these expectations, the order backlog, and the sales contribution by the Schuler Group, which was not included in the accounts for full twelve months in 2013, the ANDRITZ GROUP expects a slight rise in sales in the 2014 business year compared to the previous year. The net income of the Group, which was heavily negatively impacted by earnings development in the PULP & PAPER and SEPARATION business areas in 2013, is currently expected to show a significant improvement compared to the previous year.

However, if the global economy suffers again a more severe setback in the coming months, this could have a negative impact on the ANDRITZ GROUP's business development. This may lead to a need for organizational and capacity adjustments, as well as for respective financial provisions needed, which could have a negative effect on earnings.

In the small-scale hydropower sector, where ANDRITZ HYDRO leads the world market, the business area booked numerous important orders, particularly in Asia.

PULP & PAPER

MARKET DEVELOPMENT

The international pulp market showed an overall stable development in the second quarter of 2014. In Europe especially, there was continuing high demand from paper producers for long-fiber pulp, thus the price of NBSK (Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft) remained at a high level of around 920 USD per ton, virtually unchanged compared to the first quarter of 2014. The price was also bolstered by the shutdowns for maintenance purposes planned by some pulp mills in the summer.

In contrast, the market for short-fiber pulp was slightly weaker. Due to the start-up of some new pulp mills in Brazil, the market players expect a slight surplus of short-fiber pulp in the coming months, with the result that the price of short-fiber pulp dropped from approximately 770 USD per ton at the beginning of April to around 730 USD per ton at the end of June 2014.

Project activity for pulp mill equipment was good. Demand was particularly high for modernizations and investments to increase the efficiency of existing pulp mills. The competitive environment for suppliers of pulp mill equipment continued to be very demanding due to stiff price competition.

IMPORTANT EVENTS

Montes del Plata, Uruguay, started up its greenfield pulp mill with all major pulp production systems from ANDRITZ.

SEPARATION

MARKET DEVELOPMENT

Investment activity for solid/liquid separation equipment saw varied development in the industries served by ANDRITZ during the second quarter of 2014. While investment and project activity in the municipal and industrial waste water treatment sectors as well as in the food and chemical industries was solid, demand from the mining industry continued to be very low.

In the animal feed industry, project activity was good, both for mill expansion projects and greenfield plants, with strong activity in Latin America and Europe. The special feed area (aquatic feed and pet food) also showed good project activity in Asia, Latin America, and the Mediterranean region. In the biomass pelleting sector, project activity remained solid.

IMPORTANT EVENTS

The business area launched a new sludge dewatering machine for waste water treatment plants, industrial effluent treatment plants, and food applications: the ANDRITZ C-Press, a screw press providing high performance, combines compact design and low operating costs. In addition to a long lifecycle, the press also offers easy operation, low maintenance, and – due to bi-sequential cleaning – 30% less water consumption than comparable equipment. The new C-press complies with all European Union regulations on such issues as safety, hygiene, and environmental protection.

IMPORTANT ORDERS

Fair value hierarchy

• The levels of the fair value hierarchy and their application to financial assets and liabilities are described below:
• Level 1: Prices quoted in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2: Information other than prices quoted on the market and which can be observed, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
• Level 3: Information on assets and liabilities is not based on observable market data

The following table allocates financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value to the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. It distinguishes fair value measurements by the significance of the parameters used and reflects the availability of observable market data when estimating fair values.
