The document discusses Klöckner & Co SE's Q2 2012 results, noting that turnover increased 5.7% year-over-year driven by acquisitions and organic growth in the US, while EBITDA was €50 million which met guidance despite restructuring expenses of €17 million and a worsening market environment in Europe. It also provides an update on the company's restructuring measures in response to declining steel demand and overcapacity, including structural changes and site closures in Spain and France.

4. Overview Q2 2012
• Turnover increased by 5.7% yoy driven by acquisitions and organic growth in USA and
sequentially flat (+0.4% vs Q1)
• European turnover down -7.9% yoy also due to exiting low margin business whereas
Americas up 34.2% yoy (organically up 10.0%)
• Sales increased by 4.2% yoy and by 0.9% sequentially
• EBITDA at €50m met guidance of €50-60m before restructuring despite worsening market
environment (rep. EBITDA €33m incl. €17m for restructuring expenses mainly in Spain)
• Achievement of last years’ EBITDA in current fiscal year mainly due to worsening situation
in Europe rather unlikely
• Scope of restructuring measures significantly expanded, initial measures almost concluded
• Expansion into US-automotive sector by building a Steel-Service-Center on the site of
ThyssenKrupp plant in Alabama
• External CFO appointed to start latest Jan 1, 2013

5. • Steel demand currently around 25% below peak and not
expected to recover shortly
• Overcapacity persisting also on distribution level until
shakeout wave
• Early anticipation with assumed demand -5% in January
created headroom for restructuring ahead of others
• Restructuring to adopt to current level of activity to avoid
losses and position ourselves for a potential recovery
• Facing a phase with meager profitability, but balance sheet’s
good shape should not be at risk

Europe USA
• Further market growth, albeit currently with reduced pace
• Successful integration of Macsteel enables us to outgrow the
market
• Nevertheless, margins currently affected by price erosion in
carbon also due to high USD and import situation
• Despite recent slowdown in economic development further
market recovery most likely in the US
• We further outgrow the market by increasing contractual
business to create a solid base for future uptick
• Key market for future growth also with organic measures due
to the superior structural attractiveness of the US steel
distribution and service center market

• Q3 2012
• Turnover in Q3 expected to be slightly down vs Q2
• EBITDA in Q3 expected to be €25-35m before restructuring costs
• FY 2012
• Turnover and sales still expected to increase year on year despite challenging market
environment
• Achievement of prior year EBITDA not anymore realistic given H2 EBITDA bef. restructuring
expected to be below the €98m in H1
