Investments in associates and joint ventures

      Shares in material associates

      Following the sale of 80% of its equity interest in the ArcelorMittal Texas HBI Group (formerly the voestalpine Texas Group) domiciled in the State of Delaware, USA, voestalpine now holds a 20% share and exercises substantial influence over this company and its subsidiary. This share is accounted for at equity. The voestalpine Group has not retained any contingent liabilities in connection with the sale of the 80% share package.

      The deal was closed on June 30, 2022. Control was transferred to the buyer as of said date. This was followed by the deconsolidation of the subsidiary and its initial recognition as an associate. The gain on the sale of the equity interest is recognized in the income from discontinued operations (see Changes in the Scope of Consolidation). The ArcelorMittal Texas HBI Group operates a direct reduction plant and supplies hot briquetted iron (HBI) to the voestalpine Group. The company is not a listed entity.
