voestalpine Precision Strip WI, Inc.

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.

The additions to the scope of consolidated financial statements of fully consolidated entities include one acquisition, six newly established subsidiaries, and the consolidation of one entity not previously included in the scope of the consolidated financial statements.

On July 11, 2016, voestalpine Rotec GmbH, a company that is part of the Metal Forming Division of the voestalpine Group, acquired assets from the sellers (asset deal) for the newly established voestalpine Rotec Summo Corp. (headquartered in Burlington, Canada) as well as 100% of the shares (share deal) for the subsequently renamed voestalpine Rotec Summo de Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. (headquartered in Apodaca, Mexico) as part of a hybrid deal. At both locations (Canada: 135 employees; Mexico: 165 employees; an annual revenue of around EUR 40 million was most recently generated), automotive tube components are manufactured for the North American market. The primary strategic considerations of the deal are the expanded access to the North American market (NAFTA countries) by the voestalpine Rotec Group, the direct proximity of the Mexican site to a large number of local OEMs, and the expansion of market leadership in tube components for passive safety equipment.

In millions of euros

Goodwill of EUR 6.1 million results from the profit potential of the company which cannot be allocated to individual capitalizable items according to IFRS, in particular, the comprehensive know-how relating to the technology used in the processing of tubes, and access to the automotive market in North America. Goodwill is assigned completely to the “Tubes & Sections” unit, which carries the goodwill. It is not expected that any part of included goodwill will be eligible for corporate tax deductions.

Since their initial consolidation, these acquisitions have contributed revenue of EUR 17.1 million to consolidated revenue. Their share of the Group’s profit after tax was EUR 0.0 million for the same period. The consolidated revenue would have been EUR 9.7 million higher and the Group’s profit after tax would have been EUR 0.7 million higher if the acquisitions had been consolidated as of April 1, 2016.

As part of the first-time full consolidation of voestalpine Rotec Summo de Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. and voestalpine Rotec Summo Corp., fair values for trade receivables of EUR 4.2 million (gross carrying amount: EUR 4.2 million) and other receivables of EUR 0.6 million (gross carrying amount: EUR 0.6 million) were taken over. Receivables that are expected to be uncollectible are considered immaterial and negligible. Acquisition-related costs of EUR 0.5 million were recognized in other operating expenses for this acquisition.

In the current reporting period, EUR 4.2 million were paid for earlier acquisitions made in accordance with IFRS 3.

The increase in majority interests is treated as a transaction between owners. The difference between the costs of acquisition of additional shares and the pro-rated carrying value of the non-controlling interests is recognized directly in equity. During the first three quarters of the business year 2016/17, EUR 3.8 million (2015/16: EUR 2.4 million) was paid for the acquisition of non-controlling interests or provisions were formed for the payment thereof. Non-controlling interests amounting to EUR –2.2 million (2015/16: EUR 0.0 million) were derecognized, and the remaining amount of EUR 1.6 million (2015/16: EUR 2.4 million) was recognized directly in equity.
