Headline income statement
Sales: €2,329.5m (Q1 2024: €2,677.9m). EBITDA: €79.0m (‑€48m). EBT: ‑€27.3m (vs. +€17.2m). Net result: ‑€34.6m. Major drivers include lower selling prices, lower sales volumes and the deconsolidation effects noted for some units.
Cash flow and balance sheet
Cash and equivalents at €892.0m (down €110.2m from year‑start). Cash flow from operations improved to ‑€44.8m (Q1 2024: ‑€142.6m). Total assets €10,254.5m (down €210.8m). Equity steady at €4,452.7m. Non‑current financial liabilities rose to €598.0m; current financial liabilities fell to €1,097.4m.
Steel production unit
Crude steel production: 1,553 kt (down 126 kt). External sales €891m (‑€41m). Segment EBITDA €39m (‑€4m) and EBT ‑€23m (worsened by lower strip steel selling prices).
Steel processing and trading
Steel processing: external sales €309m (‑€127m), EBITDA ‑€14m and EBT ‑€25m — decline driven by lower revenues and deconsolidation of the stainless tubes group. Trading: sales €664m (‑€173m), EBITDA €6m and EBT ‑€2m; volumes and revenues weakened amid trade policy uncertainty.
Technology & industrial participations
Technology (KHS Group) remains a positive contributor: sales €423m, EBITDA €36m, EBT €29m (stable performance). Industrial participations: sales €43m, EBITDA €13m but EBT ‑€6m; note the Aurubis participation referenced with a €48m contribution in the report commentary.
