Aurubis AG generated operating earnings before taxes (EBT) of EUR 36
million in the first quarter of 2015/16 according to preliminary figures

Aurubis AG generated operating earnings before taxes (EBT), of EUR 36
million in the first quarter of the current fiscal year 2015/16 according
to preliminary figures. Operating earnings before taxes in the first
quarter of the previous fiscal year were EUR 39 million.

Lower precious metal production, a lower metal yield with reduced metal
prices and weak copper scrap markets negatively impacted the results in the
first quarter of fiscal year 2015/16.

IFRS earnings before taxes (EBT) in the first quarter of fiscal year
2015/16 are EUR -34 million according to preliminary figures (first quarter
of the previous fiscal year: EUR 33 million) and are primarily influenced
by a drop in metal prices.
