Klöckner & Co SE reported financial results for Q3 2012 that were below expectations due to continued price pressure reducing margins. While sales declined slightly in Europe but grew in the US, overall group sales were flat for Q3 year-over-year. EBITDA of €19m missed guidance due to price declines in September. The company plans to significantly expand the scope of its restructuring program to close approximately 60 sites, reduce headcount by over 1,800, and increase annual EBITDA by around €150m once fully implemented in 2014.
