- Operating income (EBITDA) before material special effects, at EUR51 million (Q2 2018: EUR85 million), within the projected range of EUR50 million to EUR60 million

- Proportion of Group sales generated via digital channels further raised to 29% (Q2 2018: 20%)

- EBITDA guidance of EUR25 million to EUR35 million for third quarter of 2019

Duisburg, Germany, July 31, 2019 - In the second quarter of 2019, operating income (EBITDA), at EUR51 million before material special effects, was below the prior-year figure of EUR85 million. While Klöckner & Co benefited from a very positive market environment in the second quarter of 2018, earnings in the reporting quarter were impacted by negative price and volume effects. Including material special effects, EBITDA was EUR82 million as in the prior-year quarter. The sale of a property in the United Kingdom had a positive one-off effect of EUR36 million. Conversely, personnel-related measures at the Group holding company in Germany and in France reduced EBITDA by about EUR5 million in total. Net income was EUR28 million, compared with EUR33 million in the prior-year quarter. Earnings per share consequently came to EUR0.28 (Q2 2018: EUR0.33).

Klöckner & Co has continued to make good progress in its digital transformation. Accordingly, the proportion of sales generated via digital channels increased in the second quarter of 2019 to 29% (Q2 2018: 20%). After its entry into the consulting business, digital unit kloeckner.i successfully completed its first sizable consulting project with a DAX 30 company. XOM Materials, the independent industry platform launched by Klöckner & Co, likewise continued its successful development. The platform has already recruited 34 distributors and over 300 customers, including another major international steel producer.

For the remaining course of the year, Klöckner & Co expects negative impacts from a fall in demand, principally from the European automotive and mechanical engineering sectors. Negative price effects in the USA are also likely to be larger than originally expected. The net outcome is guidance of EUR25 million to EUR35 million for EBITDA in the third quarter. For the full year, Klöckner & Co now expects EBITDA of EUR140 million to EUR160 million before and EUR170 million to EUR190 million including material special effects.
