According to the still preliminary figures now available, the Salzgitter Group closed the financial year 2020 with a 
pre-tax result of EUR -200 million (FY 2019: EUR -253.3 million). Due to the rigorous crisis management, the uptrend in 
business development in the fourth quarter, particularly in the Strip Steel, Trading and Technology business units, and 
the very gratifying contribution from the participating investment in Aurubis AG accounted for using the (IFRS 
accounting) equity method (EUR 101.6 million; FY 2019: EUR 99.5 million, including EUR 27.8 million in income from an 
accounting adjustment in connection with the share purchase), the pre-tax result exceeds the previous year's figure as 
well as the last forecast. 
In view of the generally more upbeat sentiment, the recent sharp increase in rolled steel prices - and with specific 
reference to the still imminent, virtually unquantifyble risk presented by the Corona pandemic - we assume the 
following for the Salzgitter Group in the financial year 2021: 
- an increase in sales to more than EUR 8.5 billion compared with the previous year (FY 2020: EUR 7 billion) and 
- a pre-tax profit (EBT) of between EUR 150 million and EUR 200 million. 
The 2020 annual accounts for the Group are currently being prepared. Consequently, the figures cited here are 
provisional. The annual report on the year 2020 will be published on March 15, 2021, as scheduled.
