GRAZ, OCTOBER 29, 2026. International technology group ANDRITZ recorded solid business
development in the third quarter of 2026: the group’s order intake remained at a high
level, reaching 2,166.2 MEUR (-0.6% vs. Q3 2025: 2,180.0 MEUR) and thus exceeding the
two-billion-euro mark for the eighth consecutive quarter. Demand continued to be
supported by investments in renewable power generation, electrification, and
technologies supporting the circular economy.

In the third quarter, revenue grew strongly by 9.2%, while profitability (comparable
EBITA margin) remained stable at the high level of 9.0% (Q3 2025: 8.9%) and net income
increased by 14.4%. The order backlog reached another record high of 12,729.1 MEUR
(+21.7% compared to year-end 2025), providing a solid basis for future revenue growth.

Order intake driven by Hydropower and Metals
In Hydropower, order intake increased to 703.9 MEUR (+34.2% vs. Q3 2025: 524.5 MEUR),
supported by demand for renewable energy and the modernization of existing hydropower
plants. Major orders included the modernization of the Gabčíkovo hydropower plant
(Slovakia’s largest hydroelectric facility), generator equipment for the Nes hydropower
plant in Norway, and turbine refurbishment for the Sampolo pumped-storage project in
France. These projects reflect continued investment in renewable power generation,
energy storage, and grid stability. Supported by the execution of the strong order
backlog, revenue increased significantly by 25.4%.

Order intake in the Pulp & Paper business area amounted to 706.8 MEUR (-24.5% vs. Q3
2025: 935.7 MEUR), following a particularly strong prior-year quarter. Important orders
in China included pulp production equipment and recovery boilers, reflecting the
continued trend toward backward integration by Chinese paper producers and reinforcing
ANDRITZ’s strong position in the Chinese market. In South America, ANDRITZ received an
order for a complete paper production line. Revenue increased by 8.8%.

In the Metals sector, order intake increased to 357.4 MEUR (+20.8% vs. Q3 2025:
295.8 MEUR) from a low prior-year base. Orders included steel processing equipment in
the US and India, as well as laser blanking and hot stamping lines for car
manufacturers in the US. Revenue remained stable (-0.4%).

In Environment & Energy, order intake amounted to 398.1 MEUR (-6.1% vs. Q3 2025:
424.0 MEUR). Orders came mainly from North America and Europe. The most active markets
were energy, water management, and the metals industry. Revenue increased by 3.1%,
supported by higher revenue in the Feed & Biofuel and Clean Air Technologies divisions.

ANDRITZ CEO Joachim Schönbeck commented: “Revenue and earnings grew significantly in
the third quarter, and our order backlog reached a new record high. We will continue to
push for further improvements and turn our strong order backlog into profitable
growth.”

Outlook for the full year 2026 confirmed
ANDRITZ confirms its 2026 guidance: The group expects project activity to remain at the
current high level. ANDRITZ still foresees a return to growth and revenues in a range
of 8.0 to 8.3 billion EUR for 2026. Comparable EBITA margin (excluding non-operating
items) is expected to remain at a high level, in the range between 8.7% and 9.1%.

The group’s medium-term financial targets, presented at the Capital Markets Day in
October 2026, include revenue growth to 10 billion EUR and reaching a comparable EBITA
margin of 10% by 2029.
