Guidance

             Salzgitter Group – Guidance from May 15, 2018

          Given the good start to the year, the generally positive business outlook, as well as the planned further effects of the programs of measures and to
          promote growth, Salzgitter AG lifted its earnings forecast at the end of April for the financial year 2018. We now anticipate:

             a marginal increase in sales to above € 9 billion,

             a pre-tax profit of between € 250 million and € 300 million and

             a return on capital employed that is stable compared with the previous year's figure.

          Legal Note and other remarks

          We make explicit reference to the fact that imponderables, including changes in the cost of raw materials, precious metal prices and exchange rates, along with global trade policy measures, may have a considerable impact over the course of the financial year 2018.
