voestalpine sets clear growth targets in attractive future markets

voestalpine is continuing to pursue its strategic course and to focus on
value-added growth in high-yield processing segments. At today’s Capital
Markets Day, held during InnoTrans in Berlin, the Group is providing
insight into its strategic plans and specific growth prospects. The focus
lies on the Railway Systems business segment, whose revenue is expected to
increase from its current level of around EUR 2.2 billion to approximately
EUR 3 billion by 2030/31. Market growth is being driven by the global
trend toward sustainable rail mobility and the associated extensive
investments in upgrading existing and building new rail infrastructure. In
addition to rail infrastructure, the Group plans to continue
systematically expanding operations in its Aerospace, Warehouse & Rack
Solutions, and Tubes & Sections business segments.

voestalpine focuses on value-added growth in technologically advanced
sectors in which it enjoys leading market positions and has extensive
expertise and long-standing customer relationships. Railway Systems is a
prime example of this strategy: the business segment combines materials
and processing expertise with innovative system solutions, digitalization,
and comprehensive services to support high-performance rail
infrastructure. Since its initial public offering in 1995, voestalpine has
increased the share of Group turnover generated through value-added
segments from around 20% to 45%. In future, this share is expected to
continue to rise, particularly through growth in such segments as Railway
Systems, Aerospace, Warehouse & Rack Solutions, and Tubes & Sections. At
the same time, the Group is driving the gradual decarbonization of steel
production through its greentec steel transformation program. The planned
start-up of the first electric arc furnaces in Linz and Donawitz in the
first half of 2027 marks the next major step along this path.

Digitalization and modernization are drivers of change

“Rising global investments in the expansion and modernization of rail
networks, new transport corridors, and increasing demand for
digitalization are opening up attractive prospects for voestalpine Railway
Systems and creating significant and sustained demand for its high-quality
products,” says Herbert Eibensteiner, CEO of voestalpine AG. Additional
growth opportunities are emerging in India due to extensive investments in
new high-speed rail, freight transport, and urban mobility projects.

“There is growing demand for integrated solutions that combine
infrastructure, digitalization, and services. As a leading full-service
provider in the field of railway systems, we offer rail and turnout
systems, signaling solutions, digital applications, and services—all from
a single source. It is precisely this holistic approach that constitutes a
key competitive advantage for voestalpine Railway Systems, which supports
its customers throughout the entire life cycle,” says Franz Kainersdorfer,
Member of the Management Board of voestalpine AG and Head of the Metal
Engineering Division.

The company’s strong market position is also underscored by recent major
contracts, most recently the Rail Baltica project with a value of EUR 470
million. At InnoTrans, voestalpine Railway Systems also showcases
integrated solutions for high-speed, freight, and urban transit networks,
as well as digital monitoring and diagnostic systems designed to improve
maintenance efficiency and increase rail system availability.

Focus on growth and value creation

“Our investment decisions are guided by clear priorities: a sound capital
structure, gradual decarbonization, value-enhancing growth, and ensuring
our shareholders share in the company’s success. Railway Systems combines
attractive growth prospects with a strong market position, a resilient
business model, and a high return on capital, thereby making a significant
contribution to the Group’s long-term value creation,” says Gerald Mayer,
CFO of voestalpine AG.
