Financial Figures/Balance Sheet/Earnings Forecast/quarterly report
Shipment volumes up 3 % to 107,100 tonnes\nRevenue rises 13 % to EUR 257.5 million\nEBITDA increases 27 % to EUR 41.4 million\nNet income after taxes doubles to EUR 15.1 million\n2017 guidance: further operating profit growth\n"AMAG 2020" expansion project running on schedule and on budget\nAMAG Austria Metall AG has made a successful start to 2017. AMAG Group shipments were up by 3 % in the first quarter of 2017 to reach 107,100 tonnes. Shipment volumes in the Rolling Division increased by 7 % to 54,500 tonnes due to the scheduled ramp-up of plants as part of the expansion project in Ranshofen.
Helmut Wieser, CEO of AMAG: "AMAG is on a growth track - shipment volumes of rolled products grew by 7 % in the first quarter of 2017, including deliveries to the aircraft industry up 22 % and to the automotive industry up 7 %."
The market environment proved positive in the first quarter of 2017. The aluminium price increased by 22 % on average compared with the average of the first quarter of 2016.
Higher shipments and the higher aluminium price were reflected in significant revenue and earnings growth accordingly.
AMAG Group revenue climbed by 13 % from EUR 227.8 million to EUR 257.5 million.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) were up by 27 %, from EUR 32.7 million to EUR 41.4 million.
The operating profit (EBIT) of the AMAG Group of EUR 22.7 million in the first quarter of 2017 was almost 50 % above the previous year's level (Q1 2016: EUR 15.5 million).
Net income after taxesof EUR 7.7 million in the first quarter of 2016 almost doubled to EUR 15.1 million.
Investments and plant expansion The "AMAG 2020" expansion project - entailing around EUR 300 million of investments - is running on budget and on schedule. The cold rolling mill, the new casting plant and the finishing equipment are to be commissioned during the second quarter of 2017, as planned.
During the first three months of 2017, investments for the "AMAG 2020" project amounted to a total of EUR 25.9 million, thereby accounting for most of the investment activities. Total investments of the AMAG Group stood at EUR 32.7 million in the first quarter of the year, compared with EUR 43.8 million in the previous year's equivalent period.
2017 guidance: Rising demand for aluminium products establishes a good base for the growth path of AMAG Austria Metall AG. Demand for primary aluminium and aluminium rolled products is set to increase by 4 to 5 % year-on-year according to the latest estimates from the market research institute CRU.
The commissioning of the new cold rolling mill and further finishing equipment creates the precondition for further volume growth in subsequent years.
Helmut Wieser, CEO of AMAG: "The plants for cold rolled and heat treated special aluminium products are fully utilised. We will soon be able to offer our customers not only additional volumes in this product area, but also a wider range with larger dimensions."
For the 2017 financial year, the Management Board expects a further increase in operating results. Taking current market conditions into account, EBITDA is expected to be recorded in a range between EUR 150 million and EUR 160 million, compared with EUR 143 million in the previous year.
