Company Information
27.11.2019

Graz - NOVEMBER 27, 2019. Within the framework of the now completed budget-
planning process, international technology Group ANDRITZ announces its financial
guidance for the business year 2020.

Group sales are expected to increase compared to 2019 due to the high order
backlog. Sales of the pulp and paper business in particular are expected to
increase significantly due to the processing of some larger orders.

In spite of the increase in sales, the Group's EBITA excluding extraordinary
items is expected to only reach a similar amount as in 2019.

The major influencing factors for the earnings forecast include a higher
proportion of sales from large low-margin projects in the Pulp & Paper business
area and continued weak earnings development in the Metals business area caused
by the continuing difficult situation in the automotive industry. The previously
announced restructuring measures of the Metals business area are proceeding
according to plan. The results will, however, only be reflected in the earnings
at a notable level not before the end of 2020.

Profitability of the Hydro business area is expected to remain at an unchanged
stable and solid level. For the Separation business area, an improvement in
earnings and profitability is planned for 2020.
