MANAGEMENT REPORT
GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The world's most important economic regions saw mixed development in the first quarter of 2017. While the USA continued its solid economic growth and Europe's economy showed further signs of slight recovery during the reporting period, economic activity in the relevant emerging economies remained at a comparatively moderate level.
In the USA, the solid economic growth of the previous year continued. Driven by the continued strong private consumption, which contributes around 70% of the gross national product, the unemployment rate reached a level of approximately 4.7%. Due to this sustained economic upswing, the US Federal Reserve (FED) increased the key interest rate – as expected – by 0.25%-points to a range between 0.75 and 1.0% in mid-March.
The economy in Europe noted an upswing during the reporting period, especially Germany and France showing strong economic growth. Due to a solid labor market, robust exports, and brisk construction activity, the EU commission expects growth in all EU countries for 2017 and an increase of 1.8% in the gross national product for Europe. Inflation increased to 2.0% as a result of the increase of oil prices, however core inflation remained at just below 1.0%. As a result, the ECB left the key interest rate at its record low level of 0.0%.
Growth in the main emerging economies remained unchanged at a moderate level during the reporting period. The Chinese economy saw a mixed start into the new year. While industrial production and investments were better than expected since the beginning of the year, retail sales were disappointing. China targets economic growth of 6.5% for 2017, which continues to be significantly below the growth achieved during the boom years.
Brazil still remains in the deepest recession since the 1930s. In view of the economic stagnation, the Brazilian central bank lowered the key interest rate substantially in the previous quarter. The Brazilian government intends fighting the recession with a massive investment and privatization program. After years of recession, the Russian economy is gradually gaining momentum again, however this recovery is starting from a very low level.

MARKET DEVELOPMENT
HYDRO
Global investment and project activity for electromechanical equipment for hydropower plants remained at a subdued level during the first quarter of 2017 – some projects were awarded selectively in Europe and Asia. Due to the unchanged, difficult market conditions impacted by low electricity and energy prices, many modernization and refurbishment projects were postponed until further notice, especially in Europe. In the emerging markets, particularly in Asia, Africa, and South America, some new hydropower projects are currently in the planning phase. Satisfactory project activity was noted for pumps.
PULP & PAPER
The international pulp market showed positive development in the first quarter of 2017. Driven by a rising demand overall for pulp – particularly from Chinese paper producers – accompanied by a stable supply, the price of short-fiber pulp (eucalyptus) increased from around 650 USD per ton as at the end of December 2016 to approximately 720 USD per ton as of the end of March 2017. The price for NBSK (Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft Pulp) long-fiber pulp also increased slightly from around 810 USD per ton at the end of December 2016 to approximately 830 USD per ton at the end of March 2017. Overall, the market for pulping equipment showed satisfactory project activity, particularly for modernization of existing pulp mills.
METALS
In the metal forming sector for the automotive and automotive supplying industry (market segment of Schuler), the first quarter of 2017 showed satisfactory project and investment activity overall; some important orders were awarded by international automotive suppliers. Project and investment activity in the market segment – the Chinese automotive supplying industry – served by Yadon also saw favorable development.
Project activity for equipment for the production and processing of stainless and carbon steel strip recovered to some extent during the reporting period from the very low levels of the past few years. The main driver for new investments in new plants, especially in Asia and North America, were increasing commodity prices. Project and investment activity in the aluminum sector has improved slightly as well. However, competition in the steel industry remains challenging.
SEPARATION
Investment and project activity on the global market for solid/liquid separation equipment during the reporting period remained unchanged compared to 2016. While project activity in the environmental and mining sectors was satisfactory, demand from the food and chemical industries continued to be low. In the animal feed industry, project activity for conventional and special feed remained solid.

Sales
Sales of the ANDRITZ GROUP amounted to 1,386.2 MEUR in the first quarter of 2017 and were thus 7.8% higher than the low figure for the previous year's reference period (Q1 2016: 1,285.6 MEUR). While sales in the HYDRO and SEPARATION business areas declined slightly compared to the previous year's reference figure, PULP & PAPER noticed a significant increase in sales, as did the METALS business area mainly due to the acquisition of Yadon and AWEBA. Both companies were not included in the previous year's reference period and contributed well above 40 MEUR to sales. The business areas' sales development at a glance:

Order intake
The order intake of the Group, at 1,560.0 MEUR, saw a favorable development in the first quarter of 2017 and was thus 25.1% higher than the very low reference figure for the previous year (Q1 2016: 1,247.4 MEUR). The business areas' development in detail:
- HYDRO: In a continuing relatively difficult market environment, the order intake rose to 309.5 MEUR, which is an increase of 22.8% compared to the very low figure for the previous year's reference period (Q1 2016: 252.0 MEUR).
- PULP & PAPER: The order intake developed satisfactory both for capital and service business and amounted to 653.3 MEUR during the reporting period. This is an increase of 19.7% compared to the reference figure of the previous year (Q1 2016: 545.6 MEUR), which included a larger order.
- METALS: At 442.7 MEUR, order intake saw positive development (+47.9% versus Q1 2016: 299.3 MEUR). The order intake increased significantly compared to the previous year in both the metalforming sector (market segment of Schuler) and the metal processing sector. The two acquisitions Yadon and AWEBA, which were not included in the previous year's reference period, contributed well above 50 MEUR to the order intake in the reporting period.
- SEPARATION: Order intake amounted to 154.5 MEUR and was thus practically at the same level as for the previous year's reference period (+2.7% versus Q1 2016: 150.5 MEUR).
ANDRITZ financial report Q1 2017 Management report
Order backlog
As of March 31, 2017, the order backlog of the ANDRITZ GROUP amounted to 6,974.2 MEUR (+2.7% versus December 31, 2016: 6,789.2 MEUR).
Earnings
Group earnings saw favorable development in the first quarter of 2017. At 97.4 MEUR, the EBITA was 16.1% higher than the figure for the previous year's reference period (Q1 2016: 83.9 MEUR) and thus increased more than sales. Profitability (EBITA margin) increased to 7.0% (Q1 2016: 6.5%). This positive development is mainly due to the PULP & PAPER, METALS, and SEPARATION business areas, which achieved an increase in profitability compared to last year's reference period. Development by business area:
- In the HYDRO business area, the decrease in sales led to a slight decline in earnings and profitability the EBITA margin, at 6.2%, was slightly below the figure for the previous year's reference period (Q1 2016: 6.4%).
- In the PULP & PAPER business area, earnings increased somewhat more than sales, resulting in an increase in profitability to 9.1%, which is slightly above the high figure for the previous year's reference period (Q1 2016: 8.8%). Profitability in the capital business saw favorable development.
- The EBITA margin in the METALS business area increased to 5.8% (Q1 2016: 5.2%), which is mainly due to a significant improvement in profitability in the metals processing sector.
- In the SEPARATION business area, the EBITA margin increased to 4.7% (Q1 2016: 2.1%).
The financial result increased significantly to 3.4 MEUR (Q1 2016: 0.7 MEUR). This increase mainly results from a significant improvement in the other financial result, which rose substantially compared to the previous year's reference period as a result of the valuation of intercompany loans and bank balances in foreign currencies (FX) on balance sheet date.
Net income (including non-controlling interests) amounted to 63.1 MEUR (+20.0% versus Q1 2016: 52.6 MEUR), 63.0 MEUR of which (Q1 2016: 52.5 MEUR) are attributable to the shareholders of the parent company and 0.1 MEUR (Q1 2016: 0.0 MEUR) to non-controlling interests.
Net worth position and capital structure
The net worth position and capital structure as of March 31, 2017 remained solid. Total assets amounted to 6,234.7 MEUR (December 31, 2016: 6,198.6 MEUR). The equity ratio reached 20.1% (December 31, 2016: 21.7%).
Liquid funds amounted to 1,613.0 MEUR (December 31, 2016: 1,507.1 MEUR), net liquidity amounted to 1,061.0 MEUR (December 31, 2016: 945.3 MEUR).

- Credit lines: 270 MEUR, thereof 183 MEUR utilized
- Surety lines: 6,314 MEUR, thereof 3,193 MEUR utilized

Major risks during the remaining months of the financial year
General risks
The ANDRITZ GROUP is a globally-operating company serving a large variety of industrial markets and customers. As such, the Group is subject to certain general and industry-specific risks. The active risk management implemented by the ANDRITZ GROUP for many years now serves both to safeguard the company's existence in the long term as well as to increase its value and is thus an essential success factor for the entire Group. For the purposes of value-oriented company management, risk management is an integral part of the business processes and extends over all strategic and operative levels.
ANDRITZ has a Group-wide control and steering system (ICS) whose main task is to identify nascent risks at an early stage and – if possible – to take countermeasures. This system is an important element of active corporate management. However, there is no guarantee that these monitoring and risk control systems are effective enough.
For further information on possible corporate risks and the internal controlling and risk management system, please refer to the ANDRITZ annual financial report 2016.
Current risks
The continuing difficult overall economic development (particularly in Europe and individual emerging markets) presents a serious risk for the financial development of the ANDRITZ GROUP. The economic impact of the United Kingdom (UK) leaving the European Union (EU) cannot be estimated at the moment, but could have a negative effect on economic growth in Europe and worldwide according to market and financial experts. If economic growth in Europe drops significantly as a result of the UK leaving the EU, this could have a negative impact on the business development of the ANDRITZ GROUP because Europe is the most important economic region for the Group, accounting for an average of 35-40% of its total sales. However, the ANDRITZ GROUP's direct business volume in the UK can be categorized as very small.
The medium- to long-term effects that the Trump administration will have on the global economy cannot be estimated at the current point of view. ANDRITZ has a very strong local presence in the USA, with over 20 production and service locations and over 1,700 employees. All four business areas are represented in the USA. From today's perspective, the effects on ANDRITZ should thus be minor. However, if other regulatory measures are implemented by the Trump administration that have negative consequences for non-American companies, the effects on ANDRITZ may well be considerable.
The continuing weakness of economical development in Brazil, China, and Russia may have a negative impact in individual business areas and, subsequently, on the Group's business development.
Impact of exchange rate fluctuations
Fluctuations in exchange rates in connection with execution of the order backlog are largely hedged by forward exchange contracts and swaps. Net currency exposure of orders in foreign currencies is hedged by forward contracts. Exchange rate risks resulting from the recognition of equity are not hedged.
Changes in the exchange rate of the euro against many other currencies could have both a positive and a negative impact on the shareholders' equity as well as on the sales and earnings development of the ANDRITZ GROUP (translation effect).
INFORMATION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 87 (4) OF THE (AUSTRIAN) STOCK EXCHANGE ACT
No major business transactions were conducted with related persons and companies during the reporting period.
IMPORTANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE
There were no important events after the balance sheet date.
OUTLOOK
Economic experts expect sustained positive development in the general economic environment in the coming months. The global economy is continuing its slow recovery. In 2017, the world's economy is expected to grow by around 3.3%.
The prospects for the ANDRITZ business areas remain largely unchanged compared to the previous quarter. A continuing difficult environment is expected in the HYDRO business area. Many modernization projects, particularly in Europe, are still postponed or stopped temporarily. Some larger, new hydropower projects, particularly in Southeast Asia and Africa, are currently being planned, but award of these projects is expected only in the medium to long term. A solid market environment is expected for the PULP & PAPER business area despite somewhat weaker project activity in South America. Unchanged satisfactory project activity is also expected for the METALS business area. For the SEPARATION business area, a continuation of the moderate market development is anticipated.
Based on the results for the first quarter of 2017, the ANDRITZ GROUP expects satisfactory business development for the 2017 business year with at least stable sales and stable profitability compared to the previous year.
However, if – contrary to general expectations – the global economy suffers setbacks in the next few months, this could have a negative impact on ANDRITZ's business development. This may lead to organizational and capacity adjustments and, as a result, to financial provisions that could have a negative effect on the ANDRITZ GROUP's earnings.
HYDRO
IMPORTANT EVENTS
The third 65-MW Pelton unit for Kashang hydropower station, India, was successfully commissioned. ANDRITZ HYDRO already supplied two 65-MW Pelton units in 2015.

IMPORTANT ORDERS
An Australian gold and copper producer selected the business area to supply a decanter centrifuge, machine controller, and spare parts. The challenge was to increase the capacity of the plant by adding dewatering capabilities because the existing system of hydrocyclones and vacuum belt filters could not produce the required amount of dewatered tailings for backfilling operations.
In Jordan, a potash producer processing salt from the Dead Sea ordered another decanter centrifuge. The longterm cooperation with this customer facilitated the joint process development work on existing machines, leading to increased capacity, more reliable performance, and lower maintenance outlay.
A major producer of coking and energy coal in Russia placed an order for five vacuum disc filters, continuing the company's successful relationship with ANDRITZ. The client was looking for a solution offering low moisture, high throughput, and lower solids content in the filtrate. The new generation of ANDRITZ filters meets all these criteria and more, ensuring that there is no loss of sellable products in the filtrate in addition to enhanced capacity.
For a customer in Brazil, the business area will supply two vacuum belt filters, auxiliary equipment, and spare parts, as well as complete assembly and commissioning. The exclusive vacuum box lifting system, which guarantees shorter maintenance time and better phosphoric acid recovery, convinced the customer to opt for a complete solution from ANDRITZ SEPARATION.
Several orders for decanters were received in France, China, and the USA, highlighting ANDRITZ's global excellent reputation for decanters in the municipal waste water sector.
An olive oil producer in Spain ordered ten disc separators. The low maintenance costs, high reliability, and outstanding separation performance were decisive in ANDRITZ receiving the order. Several separators for dairy applications were sold in Italy and the UK along with the first pharma separator in India. Also in the food industry, a starch producer in Thailand ordered four siphon peeler centrifuges for producing modified tapioca starch.
Several orders for animal feed and aqua feed processing lines as well as for pelleting and extrusion equipment were received from customers in Europe, Asia, North America, and South America. In the biomass pelleting sector, orders were received from customers in Asia and the USA.

ANDRITZ financial report Q1 2017 Share
RELATIVE PRICE PERFORMANCE OF THE ANDRITZ SHARE COMPARED TO THE ATX (APRIL 1, 2016 - MARCH 31, 2017)
Share price development
During the reporting period, the international financial markets were characterized by the continuing uncertainty with regard to the effects of the economic decisions made by the Trump administration and the beginning of Brexit negotiations between the United Kingdom and the European Union. In this environment, the ANDRITZ share price decreased by 1.7% in the first quarter of 2017. The ATX, the leading share index on the Vienna Stock Exchange, however, showed an increase of 8.0% over the same period due to the sharp increase in bank stocks, which have a high weighting in the ATX. The highest closing price of the ANDRITZ share was 51.36 EUR (February 16, 2017), and the lowest closing price was 46.89 EUR (March 31, 2017).
Trading volume
The average daily trading volume of the ANDRITZ share (double count, as published by the Vienna Stock Exchange) was 270,892 shares in the first quarter of 2017 (Q1 2016: 428,844 shares). The highest daily trading volume of 950,926 shares was noted on March 17, 2017, and the lowest daily trading volume of 75,130 shares on January 2, 2017.
