Graz - July 19, 2021. International technology Group ANDRITZ announces
preliminary figures for the second quarter of 2021 due to positive development
of its operational business in the past few months exceeding expectations.

On the basis of the preliminary figures available, ANDRITZ achieved revenue of
approximately 1.5 billion euros and an EBITA of 125 MEUR in the second quarter
of 2021.

On the basis of this favorable earnings development, ANDRITZ now expects - from
today's perspective - a significant increase in the EBITA reported compared to
the previous year and profitability (EBITA margin reported) of around 8% (EBITA
margin reported in 2020: 5.9%). From today's perspective, no substantial
extraordinary effects are expected for 2021.

Revenue for the full year 2021 is still expected to show a slight decline
compared to the previous year.

In the previous financial guidance 2021 published on March 3, 2021, ANDRITZ
assumed slightly lower revenue (due to the lower order intake in 2020) compared
to last year (2020: 6,699.6 MEUR). The EBITA reported was expected to increase
compared to 2020 (391.7 MEUR). The EBITA adjusted by extraordinary items was
expected to be stable compared to the previous year (EBITA 2020 adjusted: 471.1
MEUR).

The final financial figures for the first half and second quarter of 2021 will
be published on July 30, 2021 as planned.

Note: MEUR = million euros
