Financial Report

The competitive position, business performance, specialist knowledge and competency of a company are ultimately reflected in its numbers. ThyssenKrupp prepares its financial statements on the basis of US GAAP and thereby creates a high level of transparency and comparability, a basic requirement of the international finance markets. We have significantly accelerated the preparation of this annual report. We want to inform you, our Stockholders and other interested parties, about the past year in as timely and comprehensive a way as possible. With transparency, speed and credibility, we want to gain your trust – in the Company and its future.
