Earnings Forecast/quarterly report
14.07.2016

On the basis of preliminary figures for the second quarter of 2016,
AMAG Austria Metall AG increases its earnings forecast for the
current financial year.

The preliminary EBITDA of the AMAG Group for the second quarter of
2016 is approximately EUR 40 million, about 15 % above the level of
the previous year's comparable period. Net income after taxes
increased to roughly EUR 18 million. AMAG benefited from the site
expansion in the Rolling Division, from productivity gains, and from
lower raw material costs and currency effects in the Metal Division.

Taking the earnings performance in the first six months, the planned
maintenance work for the second half of the year and the current
market conditions into account, the EBITDA forecast for the 2016
financial year has been increased to a range of EUR 120 million to
EUR 130 million. The previous EBITDA range, which was announced as
part of the reporting on the first quarter of 2016, was between EUR
110 million and EUR 125 million.

All figures stated in this announcement are preliminary. More details
on the improved outlook and the earnings figures will be given with
the publication of the half-year report on August 2, 2016.
