Significant factors influencing the results» Very high concentrate throughput, despite Q1 maintenance

shutdown in Hamburg -- prior year large-scale shutdown in Pirdop» Capacity optimization in Pirdop has a positive effect,» advantageous input mix and good availability of copper

concentrates,» significantly higher refining charges for copper scrap with a good

supply,» slightly improved sulfuric acid revenues » higher metal yield with increased metal prices,» lower copper premium,» higher sales of shapes and flat rolled products,» weaker sales of wire rod,» positive contributions from our efficiency improvement program,» the strong US dollar.

Global copper demand continues to increase

16December 2017

Global demand for refined copper (in million t)

» Despite slowed economic growth, China continues to be the most important source of global copper demand (approx. 48 % share) and major net importer

» Growth potential for copper use is primarily in the expansion of the electricity grid, in machinery and plant engineering as well as in construction and transportation

» Further momentum from the “One Belt, One Road” initiative

» The development in emerging countries as well as the use of new technologies increases the long-term need for copper, also outside of China

» Segment Metal Refining & Processing recovers metals from primary and secondary raw materials and markets these in various forms. Raw material purchasing, the processing into pure metals as well as metal sales of “standard products” with lower depth of added value also belong to this.» Approach Utilization of production capacities with

optimization of input mix, marketing of standard products in large production batches

» Segment Flat Rolled Products produces and markets a variety of copper alloys in the form of rolled and wire products in smaller production batches. Differentiated, rather small product portfolio with well-developed distribution network.» Approach: Products are oriented to customer wishes;

production facilities will be optimally utilized due to the product mix optimization

Annex 1: Aurubis AG’s sources of earnings

TC/RCTreatment and refining charge = Mines’ payments to smelters for processing copper concentrates into cathodes. Smelters’ central profit driver – primarily influenced by concentrate supply and demand

RCRefining charge = Fee for processing copper scrap, blister and recycling materials into cathodes; primarily influenced by the situation on the European scrap markets

Metal prices Price risks fundamentally eliminated at Aurubis by hedging; strong influence on revenues and working capital, also for our customers

Cathode premiumSurcharge for high-quality cathodes (Grade A), premium for cathode delivery, paid by the customer; expresses the scarcity in structurally undersupplied markets

Shape surcharge Processing prices for converting cathodes into copper products (wire rod, shapes, flat rolled products, etc.), paid by the customer

Sulfuric acid Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is a by-product of concentrate processing; 1 t of sulfuric acid is generally produced per t of concentrate treated
