For the 2005/2006 business year, the voestalpine Group will for the first time show sales significantly over EUR 6 billion. The operating result (EBIT) should total nearly EUR 700 million. These figures already take account of the higher 4th quarter costs for logistics and energy due to the harsh winter, the higher levels of personnel expenses in comparison to the first nine months of the year, and the very significant increase in the price of zinc seen over the last several months.
