C. Scope of consolidated financial statements

The consolidated Group (see “Investments” appendix to the Notes) is defined in accordance with IFRS. In addition to the annual financial statements of voestalpine AG, the consolidated financial statements also include the financial statements of entities controlled by voestalpine AG (and its subsidiaries). Entities controlled by voestalpine AG that are not included in the financial statements of voestalpine AG are negligible, both individually and collectively.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the voestalpine Group has the power over the investee, is exposed to variable returns and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. The annual financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements as of the point in time at which the Group acquires control over the subsidiary and extends to the point in time at which the Group ceases to exercise control over the subsidiary.

Associates are entities over which the voestalpine Group has significant influence through participating in the financial and operating policy decisions, but not control or joint control of those policies. Joint ventures are joint arrangements in which partner companies (the voestalpine Group and one or more partners) exercise joint control over the arrangement and possess rights to the company’s net assets. The annual financial statements of associates and joint ventures are included in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method from the acquisition date until disposal date. The Group’s associates and joint ventures are listed in the “Investments” appendix to the Notes.

In late July, the sale of Kadow und Riese Laser- und Umformtechnik GmbH (part of the Metal Forming Division) was concluded. The company primarily produces sheet-formed parts in the form of prototypes, pilot series and small-batch series for the mobility sector. Due to the company’s growing strategic deviation from voestalpine’s core business, voestalpine decided to go forward with the sale (few synergies with other companies of the voestalpine Group because of its stand-alone location and the very volatile and short-term business in the prototype segment). The company generated revenue of around EUR 8 million in the business year 2015/16 and has around 70 employees.
