Financial Figures/Balance Sheet
Ad-hoc-release according to § 15 WpHG SALZGITTER AG - Key data of the financial year 2008 Very satisfactory results in all divisions and sound balance sheet

  Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc. The issuer is responsible
  for the content of this announcement.
Key Data FY 2008
05.03.2009
The Salzgitter Group achieved a pre-tax profit of EUR 1.0 billion in 
the financial year 2008 despite the dramatic developments in global 
economic conditions which unfolded at the end of the year. 
Accordingly, the profit forecast made before the advent of the 
turbulences in the market was fulfilled in every respect, even taking
the announced accounting measures into account. Higher steel selling 
prices, the steady, gratifying development of the Tubes Division 
business, especially in large-diameter tubes, and booming trading 
business in the first nine months of the year were the main 
contributors of this pleasing growth.

Earnings before tax by division (EUR million):
FY 2008   (FY 2007)
Steel                      545.6     (749.4)

Services                    23.9      (40.4)
Technology                   3.8       (4.0)
Other/Consolidation        -32.5       (5.2)
Group                    1,003.4   (1,313.9)
Despite its broad-based business, which is sound from every angle, 
the Salzgitter Group will be unable to decouple in the financial year
2009 from the consequences of the worst recession seen since the end 
of World War II. In the financial year 2009, we will be confronted 
with unprecedented imponderabilities. Against this background, it 
would be irresponsible at the current point in time to provide a 
quantified forecast for a 2009 consolidated result. The first 
half-year is unlikely to close at breakeven for the Group, as the 
critical development in the rolled steel market cannot be cushioned 
by the other activities of the Salzgitter Group. In the event of a 
notable recovery, especially in the rolled steel markets, attaining 
more or less breakeven in the pre-tax result should be possible in 
2009. As in recent years, we make reference to the fact that 
opportunities and risks from currently unforeseeable trends in 
selling prices, input materials and capacity level developments, as 
well as changes in the currency parity, may considerably affect 
performance in the course of the financial year 2009. The resulting 
fluctuation in the consolidated pre-tax result may, as current events
show, be within a considerable range, either to the positive or to 
the negative.
