According to preliminary figures, Klöckner & Co SE generated a record operating income (EBITDA) before material special 
effects of EUR401 million in the first half of the financial year 2021. Due to the continued positive dynamics of steel 
prices in Europe and the US at the beginning of the third quarter combined with extremely strict net working capital 
management and supported by the substantial effects from the Surtsey project, Klöckner & Co SE anticipates EBITDA 
before material special effects in the third quarter to be significantly stronger than previously expected by the 
market at EUR200-230 million. 
Furthermore, the company expects to achieve EBITDA before material special effects of EUR650-700 million in the full year 
2021, which will then be the best operating full-year income since the IPO in 2006. This forecast is also above the 
previous market expectation. 
The figures for the second quarter will be announced on August 10, 2021.
