The previous year’s Statement of Comprehensive Income of the voestalpine Group shows profit before tax of EUR 645.7 million. Given the negative earnings performance in the reporting period, at EUR 13.8 million the corporate income tax is positive (previous year: EUR –187.1 million). This results in a profit after tax for the business year 2019/20 of EUR –216.5 million, compared with EUR 458.6 million in the previous year.
