Danieli's Board of Directors met today, September 26, 2017, to examine and approve the yearly financial statements for the parent company and the consolidated financial statements for the Danieli Group, referring to the year from July 1, 2016, to June 30, 2017.

| Net profit attributable to the Group | 50.5 | 88.3 | -43% |
| Net positive financial position | 912.5 | 908.2 | 0% |
| Consolidated shareholders' equity | 1,817.8 | 1,777.2 | 2% |
| Number of employees | 8,959 | 9,419 | -5% |
| Group order book | 2.532 | 2,814 | -11% |

Group revenues are in line with last year's results with diminished sales in the Plant Making sector and increased sales in the Steel Making sector with the ABS Group, which is also showing higher production volumes than in fiscal 2015/16, in spite of the temporary production stoppage of ABS Sisak doo.
The normalized gross operating margin (which reflects the margins related to the order book for the year) remained steady as predicted but was penalized by the extraordinary non-recurring expenses incurred in companies that have recently joined the group and are either not yet fully integrated or have undergone a production stoppage: in the Steel Making segment, the ESW pipe mill in Germany and ABS Sisak in Croatia, the Italian company FATA in Plant Making, while the subsidiary Danieli Corus suffered unexpected losses on a job order for a blast furnace in the Netherlands.
However, Plant Making revenues are in line with the forecasts made at the beginning of the year and refer to regularly progressing construction schedules contractually agreed with the customers, with EBITDA of 138.0 million euro to be normalized to 154.8 million euro, having sustained in the period "non-recurring" charges amounting to about 16.8 million euro linked to non-repeatable costs and to restructuring on problematic projects or whose start-up was delayed, in markets that are not yet fully normalized.
Steel Making segment revenues, on the other hand, are slightly higher than what was budgeted at the beginning of the year and show a gross profitability of 64.5 million euro, to be normalized to 70.2 million euro, having sustained in the period non-recurring charges amounting to approximately 5.7 million euro due to the restart of the recently acquired pipe mill in Germany and the production stoppage of the Sisak meltshop in Croatia.
Products sold in the period in the Steel Making segment (ABS Group) reached about 1,080,000 tons by June 30, 2017, (a 10% increase over the same period last year), with the goal of maintaining this level of growth in volume next year as well.
Therefore for the 2016/2017 financial year EBIT is positive albeit lower in both operating segments; in Steel Making it is also negatively affected by the "one-time" writedown of energy certificates at ABS, amounting to almost 8 million euro and concerning certain projects that were initially approved but subsequently rejected by the Regulatory Body.
During the year, the consolidated net profit was consequently affected by these contingent situations including financial management, which was negatively influenced by the US dollar exchange rate; however it is felt that a recovery will be possible next year in both operating segments, thanks also to the Group's solid net financial position which continues to be considerable and stable.
The Board of Directors has acknowledged the results for the 2016/2017 fiscal year, pointing out that the performance of both the Plant Making and Steel Making segments – and the large amount of orders – lead us to forecast positive results for next year without being conditioned by any additional extraordinary restructuring charges.
In the first half of 2016, world steel production was almost 836 million tons, reporting an approximate 4.5% increase over the same period in 2015, which had reached a total of approximately 1,610 million tons over the 12-month period.
Forecasts for 2017 point to an overall increase of around 3.5-4.0%, with Asia (driven by China and India) showing 5% growth, and advanced and emerging countries showing a smaller growth rate of about 3.0-3.5%.
The steel market therefore improved in 2017 and is expected to stabilize further in 2018, although we feel we are in a "New Normal" phase similar to the one that occurred in the years 1970-2000 that could last for 10 years or more.
Steel makers worldwide are placing more attention on running their plants using innovative solutions and the Green Steel technologies that are available, thereby reducing both greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption per ton, resulting in zero waste for socially sustainable and efficient production for the community and the environment.
The research and technological development implemented by Danieli in the last decade have enabled us to expand the range of plants supplied to the entire metals sector (steel, aluminum and other metals) significantly lowering the cost of the initial investment of each project (CAPEX), while also optimizing operating expenses (OPEX), combining several work stages into a single processing line, and widening the number of potential investors thanks to investments that are more economically feasible in countries with mature economies as well as in developing countries.
To remain competitive in a "New Normal" market, Danieli has invested in technologies that always promote customer centricity while boosting plant productivity as well as per capita value
added. The DIGIMET project applies the principles of the 4.0 revolution in the steelmaking industry to guarantee total control of production variables with respect to the creation/start-up of plants and also to speed up the production processes, reducing costs and optimizing the efficiency of steel production.

Gross operating margin (EBITDA) is a measurement used by the issuer to monitor and evaluate the performance of operations, and represents the operating profit before depreciation and amortization of fixed assets and net writedowns of receivables (since this is not specified in IFRS principles it may not be fully comparable with other entities that used other calculation criteria).
The normalized Gross Operating Income (adjusted EBITDA) does not include non-recurring charges and costs amounting to 22.5 million euro incurred during the year in connection with restructuring, reorganization and/or problematic one-time projects that will not be repeated in the next fiscal years.
Below are some of Danieli's mottos:
Not only is Danieli known for its capabilities in the supply of plants but also for its manufacturing know-how: in Europe, for its noble and high-tech products, in Asia for the design and manufacture of consolidated, proven products made with the same quality as those in Europe.
In particular, in order to consolidate these strategies, the company plans to expand the Danieli Academy to train junior employees, provide refresher courses for senior staff, and make the most of talented youths.
As we are convinced that the New Normal period will last for at least 5 years, we consider the drop in investments in new plants as an established fact, a drop that will be offset by the revamping of existing plants and services. But this is not enough. More innovation and downstreams are needed, and we are working on a vision in this respect in the medium-long term.
The Group's order book is well diversified according to geographical area and product line, and for the year ended June 30, 2017, amounts to 2,532 million euro (of which 375 million euro in the production of special steels) compared to 2,814 million euro for the year ended June 30, 2016 (of which 162 million euro for special steels).
The recognized strategic role of the metals industry as well as its multiplying effect on employment and the development of the manufacturing industry generally continues to drive this sector through investments in innovative plants in both developing countries and in those with mature economies.
As of June 30, 2017, the Danieli Group employed 8,959 people - 1,420 in the Steel Making segment and 7,539 in the Plant Making segment, a decrease of 460 over the figure of 9,419 for the year ended June 30, 2016.
In the period Danieli completed the reorganization of human resources at its facilities in India, Thailand and China, which in any event still make up 35% of the Group total, since Asia produces about 55% of all the steel in the world.
Danieli continues to pursue innovation, efficiency and quality of customer service at a fast pace, promoting team excellence, which is taking on an increasingly important and strategic role for the success of the company. Consequently, this confirms the importance of carefully managing and making the most of the potential and aptitude of people in order to ensure that the Group's training programs are in line with the best practices.
The economic value that is generated converts the Group's ability to create wealth and distribute it as remuneration for the stakeholders.
The tables below show how economic value is distributed among stakeholders through the reclassification of data from the consolidated income statement.

The Chairman of Danieli's Board of Directors and his executive directors confirm the company's commitment to augmenting its Corporate Responsibility towards the global community, not only directly but also indirectly, by promoting the research and development of steelmaking equipment and machines using Green Steel and Sustainable Steel solutions, thereby improving efficiency, safety and reducing waste as well as the impact of GHG for the protection of the environment.
Danieli also took part in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and in 2016 was one of the most worthy Italian and European companies, showing a marked improvement in classification thanks to our increasing commitment to developing innovative, environment-friendly solutions for our customers.
The CDP Climate Change initiative helps more than 800 institutional investors identify from among thousands of corporations the ones that are the most motivated to grow sustainably by managing the effects of climate change on their businesses.
The Board of Directors, in addition to approving the financial statements, will propose to the assembly of shareholders, who following a single call will meet at company headquarters on October 27, 2017 at 2 p.m., the distribution of a unit dividend of euro 0,10 for ordinary shares and euro 0,1207 for saving shares, for a total of euro 8,194,928 upon detachment of coupon n.39 – for both categories of shares – on November 6, 2017, payable as of November 8, 2017 (record date: November 7, 2017).
The Board of Directors proposes a dividend that is still low and unchanged from last year in order to keep making significant investments in research and innovation for the purpose of developing new products and specific technologies for the current "New Normal" of the steel market.
The Board of Directors has noted that in the last 10 years, as much as 86% of profits has been invested back into the company, not only to maintain its financial solidity but also to invest in new plants and innovation.
The Board of Directors has also appointed Giacomo Mareschi Danieli executive director, who will work with Alessandro Trivillin, and appointed Camilla Benedetti Vice-President of the company.
Note that the annual assembly, in addition to the approval of the financial statements, is also called to deliberate on the following items:
The Danieli Group essentially runs two main businesses: the first (Plant Making) is in the field of engineering and manufacture of plants – including turnkey plants – for the production of metals. Its principal operating companies in the Plant Making segment are in Europe (Italy, Sweden, Germany, France, Austria, The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Russia, Spain) and in Asia (China, Thailand, India, Vietnam), with service centers in the US, Brazil, Egypt, Turkey and Ukraine.
In the Plant Making sector Danieli is one of the top three manufacturers in the world for metal making plants and machines, leader in meltshops and plants for the production of long products (these plants produce steel in electric arc furnaces – including from direct reduced iron – and in addition to being competitive in terms of Capex and Opex, are also environment-friendly, compared to integrated plants that use blast furnaces and coke), and second in the manufacture of plants for flat products.
The second business (Steel Making) concerns the production of special steels through the companies of Acciaierie Bertoli Safau S.p.A. (ABS), ESW Rohrenwerke GmbH and ABS Sisak d.o.o. The steels produced in these facilities supply the automotive industry, heavy-duty vehicles, engineering, energy and petroleum industries. ABS is the number one steelmaker in Italy and among the leading ones in Europe in its field.
In Friuli-Venezia Giulia the Danieli Group provides employment for about 6,000 people, either directly or through linked industries, and represents almost 40% of the yearly exports of the province of Udine, and 20% of those of the region of Friuli.
As concerns the well-being of our employees (and others), in addition to the kindergarten that has been running for several years, this year we launched the elementary school, whose teaching methods are considered to be avant-garde compared to traditional teaching methods.
Attached are the statement of assets and liabilities, the income statement (excluding the overall income statement), and the consolidated financial position of the Group and the Parent Company Danieli & C. – Officine Meccaniche S.p.A., for the period ended June 30, 2017, compared with the data for the period ended June 30, 2016.
