industrial components. Sales from continuing operations were 15% up from the comparable prior-year level<br />

EBIT negative due to high impairment charges<br />

ThyssenKrupp achieved earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of €(988) million in 2010/2011, compared<br />

with €1,346 million the year before. This decrease was due to the €(1,071) million adjusted EBIT of the new<br />

steel plants of Steel Americas in Brazil and the USA, and to necessary impairment charges above all in the<br />

Steel Americas and Stainless Global business areas. More information on this is provided in the section<br />

“Results of operations of the business areas”.<br />

With the exception of Steel Americas and Stainless Global all business areas made positive income<br />

contributions. However, the EBIT of the other business areas of the Materials division (Steel Europe and<br />

Materials Services) could not offset the losses of Steel Americas and Stainless Global, so overall Materials<br />

generated negative EBIT of €2,319 million. In the Technologies division (Elevator Technology, Plant<br />

Technology, Components Technology, Marine Systems) EBIT came to €2,063 million. This was partly offset<br />

by Corporate costs and consolidation effects of €732 million. The Group’s EBIT margin fell from 3.2% the<br />

year before to (2.0)%.<br />

Based on continuing operations, EBIT deteriorated by €1,586 million to €(188) million, and EBIT margin<br />

from 3.7% to (0.4)%.<br />
