STRATEGY THE PORTFOLIO EFFECT

Flat steel Heavy plates Rails & Switches Seamless tubes Wire Storage systems Sections & Tubes SSC Stamping parts Precision parts

Core competence steelmaking & processing

LW Blanks

Clear focus within divisions on core competences Industry mix leads to risk minimization and cyclical stabilization Synergies within the group are the key to enhanced value Growth opportunities combined with high profitability

Increasing energy consumption globally (+50% till 2025); oil +2% yoy Expected development in offshore-production: oil +40% | gas +80% Heavy Plate: 2/3 of sales from Energy; Plates for the deepest pipeline worldwide (length 230 km, depth 2,500 m; from Gulf of Mexico to Louisiana) Seamless Tubes: Drill pipes and tubes for the oil & gas industry as well as for Chinese power plants Profilform: Aluminium-plated special tubes for power plant cooling systems (China)

STRATEGY ENERGY – GROWTH MARKET OF THE FUTURE

Capacity increase from 350,000 t 2002/03 to 650,000 t 2007/08 in high quality heavy plates

OUTLOOK

Current uncertainty due to high inventories about further pricing in steel; long-term contracts minimize downside-risks Stabilization in European infrastructure spendings – Railway Systems will keep on high level Pressure on prices for standard sections & tubes – Profilform's margin slightly reduced Improving situation in division motion due to liquidation Matzner & latest highly profitable acquisitions

EBIT 2005/06 expected again above 500 €m

division motion MARKET VIEW

Automotive markets relatively stable in 2004/05, slight improvement in 2005 expected Subsuppliers still in squeeze position, between high steel prices and over capacities of OEMs Nevertheless operative performance of division on track

New production record in Tailor-Welded Blanks (EBIT-margin: 6.0%) High demand for precision parts (EBIT-margin: 8.4%) Stable demand for pressing and spare parts (EBIT-margin: 4.4%)

division motion STRATEGY

Less demand from OEMs for engineering services and separate

  • rders for engineering and manufacturing – lack of synergy

Withdrawal of division motion from the field of engineering services for third parties while maintaining expertise as a foundation for production-related development

Liquidation of Matzner One-off-costs 40 €m Loss in 2004/05 10 €m

Focus on Body-in-White unchanged but further growth mainly in niche production areas with no direct competition to OEMs
