Group operating highlights
3Q 2016 overview:
Crude steel output: 4.04 m t - a decrease of 4% qoq and 1% yoy that was due mainly to planned repairs of a blast furnace at the Lipetsk site, following which its productivity increased by 200,000 tpa (see Appendix 1 and press release). The output decline at the Lipetsk site was partially offset by the increase in output at Russian Long Products.
Sales: 4.22 m t - an increase of 7% qoq (+2% yoy), driven mainly by higher sales of finished long products (+45% qoq) and semis (+6% qoq).
Sales structure: finished rolled product sales increased by 8% qoq to 2.78 m t (+1% yoy), driven by a 45% qoq growth in long steel (ex. semis) sales (+14% yoy), including exports. The share of finished products totaled 66% (+1 p.p. qoq and -1 p.p. yoy). Semi-finished product sales increased by 6% qoq to 1.44 m t (+6% yoy), driven by the increase in billet exports; and the recognition of Q2 sales in external markets.
Sales by markets:
· Sales in NLMK Group's local markets increased by 5% qoq to 2.74 m t (-3% yoy). The share of local sales totaled 66%. Sales in Russia increased by 28% qoq to 1,72 m t (-3% yoy), driven by the seasonal uptick in demand. Flat steel sales increased by 19% qoq. Sales of NLMK's foreign assets in domestic European and US markets dropped to 1.02 m t (-20% qoq; -3% yoy) due mainly to the seasonal slowdown in demand in Europe; and the levelling off of customer stocks in the US;
· Sales in NLMK Group's external markets grew to 1.44 m t (+12% qoq and +8% yoy), accounting for 34% of NLMK Group's total sales with NBH. Key growth drivers included the increase in billet sales; and the delayed recognition of Q2 export sales. Key export destinations were the European countries, North America, and the Middle East.
Price trends: Prices in the Russian market grew by 5-10%, on the back of the seasonal uptick in demand from construction. Average prices in the US grew by 5% qoq largely driven by an increase in raw material prices. In the European market, prices saw a marginal decline as demand was seasonally softer. Export prices (FOB Black Sea) eased by 10-15% qoq.
Segments highlights:
· Russian Flat Products: Segment sales increased by 2% qoq to 3.3 m t (-4% yoy), due to the increase in finished product sales to the Russian market to 0.97 m t (+26% qoq and +2% yoy) on the back of inventory restocking by trading companies, seasonally strong demand and decreased pressure from imports.
· Russian Long Products: Segment sales increased by 37% qoq to 0.87 m t (+36% yoy), driven by the increase in deliveries to the Russian market to 0.55 m t (+53% qoq and -2% yoy); and the increase in exports to 0.32 m t (+16% qoq and x4 yoy). Sales of long products and metalware went up to 0.68 m t (+45% qoq and +14% yoy) on the back of the seasonal uptick in demand and inventory restocking by trading companies.
· Foreign Rolled Products: Segment sales were down to 0.54 m t (-18% qoq and -8% yoy), NBH sales sequentially decreased by 21% to 0.48 m t but showed a 3% yoy growth. The sequential decline was due to the intensified competition from imports, the levelling off stocks in the American markets, and the seasonal weakening of demand in the European market.
· Mining and processing of raw materials: Iron ore fines sales increased by 16% qoq to a record 4.23 m t (+9% yoy) driven by the recognition of Q2 exports and the sales of previously accumulated stocks.
9M 2016 overview:
9M 2016 Group steel output increased by 2% yoy to 12.3 m t, driven by the increase in production at NLMK Kaluga (+24% yoy) and NLMK USA (+18% yoy). Capacity utilization rates climbed 1 p.p. to 95%.
Group sales totaled 12.3 m t (+2% yoy).
Total finished steel sales gained 3% yoy to 7.9 m t, on the back of higher flat steel sales to the Group's local markets that saw demand intensify for NLMK products.
Average steel product prices in 9M 2016 in the Russian and European markets, as well as export destinations (FOB Black Sea) dropped by 5-15% yoy; whereas in the US average prices grew by 10% yoy.
