In the first half of the financial year 2015, the Salzgitter Group
generated pre-tax profit of EUR 80.2 million (first half of 2014: EUR -4.2
million) on the back of almost unchanged external sales of EUR 4,529.6
million (first half of 2014: EUR 4,549.3 million). This profit contains an
anticipated roughly EUR 15 million positive contribution from the Aurubis
investment (first half of 2014: EUR +39.2 million) as well as a total of
EUR 33.0 million in expenses for streamlining measures.

During the second half of the year, a large blast furnace will be relined
at the Salzgitter steelworks. Due to the resultant negative impact on
earnings, our guidance for the full year remains unchanged for a
consolidated pre-tax result in the lower to mid double-digit million euro
range.

Further details on the financial statements for the first half of the year
will be published as planned on August 13, 2015.

This publication is carried out pursuant to the provisions of the German
Securities Trading Act on ad-hoc disclosure.
