These standards are applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after the effective date.

From today’s perspective, the amendments and new versions of standards and interpretations are not expected to have any material effects on the voestalpine Group’s net assets, financial position, and results of operations. The disclosures resulting from the initial application of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 follow below from the section entitled Changes in Accounting Policies.

Please see the financial statements as of March 31, 2018, for the expected effects from the initial application of IFRS 16 Leases. The implementation project has progressed on schedule; currently, the IT system is being put in place. So far, nothing has changed with respect to the estimates as of March 31, 2018, because the detailed analysis of the existent leases has not yet been completed.

Further information on the other principles of preparation is provided in the Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2018, on which these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are based.

The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in millions of euros (the functional currency of the parent company). The use of automated calculation systems may result in rounding differences that affect amounts and percentages.

Unless otherwise stated, comparative information relates to the first half of the business year 2017/18 (reporting date: September 30, 2017).

The present Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have not been audited or reviewed by auditors.
