皇冠体育克利夫报告2023年第三季度业绩

皇冠体育——（皇冠体育官网商业资讯）——CLEVELAND- cliffs Inc.（纽约证券交易所代码：CLF）今天公布了截至2023年9月30日的第三季度业绩。

选定的2023年第三季度财务业绩包括：

• 收入56亿美元
• 钢材净发货量为410万吨，其中包括创纪录的汽车发货量
• 净收入2.75亿美元
• 应归属于Cliffs股东的摊薄后每股收益为0.52美元
• 调整后EBITDA1为6.14亿美元
• 经营现金流7.67亿美元
• 自由现金流6.05亿美元
• 净债务减少到34亿美元
• 流动资金达到创纪录的44亿美元

2023年第三季度收入为56亿美元，而2022年第三季度为57亿美元。

2023年第三季度，公司净收入为2.75亿美元，摊薄后每股收益0.52美元，归属于Cliffs股东。其中包括总计1100万美元的费用，即每股摊薄0.02美元，主要与收购相关成本、资产处置和遣散费有关。相比之下，2022年第三季度的净利润为1.65亿美元，即摊薄后每股0.29美元。

2023年第三季度调整后EBITDA1为6.14亿美元，而2022年第三季度为4.63亿美元。

cliff董事长、总裁兼首席执行官Lourenco Goncalves表示：“2023年第三季度是我们连续第三个季度钢铁出货量超过400万吨。我们在本季度产生了超过6亿美元的自由现金流，正如我们之前宣布的那样，我们继续利用这一强劲的现金流来偿还债务和回购股票。由此，我们的净债务和稀释后的股票数量达到了自我们从一家商业矿业公司全面转型为一家钢铁公司以来的新低。我们的流动性现在也处于历史最高水平。”

贡萨尔维斯补充说：“皇冠体育-克利夫斯第三季度汽车钢材出货量再创新高，这一点尤为突出。皇冠体育官网汽车工人联合会（UAW）宣布罢工，影响了总部位于底特律的三家客户。在此之前和之后，我们向汽车客户发货的强劲势头一直在发生，而我们在底特律以外的其他主要客户则填补了这一缺口。尽管汽车出货量持续强劲，但服务中心部门集体决定在第三季度以非常低的数量从我们这里购买钢铁，而是优先考虑他们之间的交易。这种动态导致出货量的价值组合高于预期，因此，实现价格好于预期。由于潜在的需求仍然强劲，而且服务中心的库存已经耗尽，我们能够通过提价公告成功地让买家远离观望。我们预计，在第四季度，我们将看到UAW罢工结束，服务中心的购买模式将更加正常。这应该不仅支持我们第四季度，而且支持我们到2024年。”

Goncalves先生总结道：“与去年第三季度相比，我们每吨钢材的单位成本每净吨下降了惊人的165美元。随着明年成本的进一步降低，包括与我们购买冶金煤相关的约2.5亿美元的成本降低，我们有很多值得期待的事情。当我们展望未来时，所有跟随我们的人都应该清楚，前方是非常令人兴奋和变革的事件。”

炼钢部门业绩

2023年第三季度钢铁产品销售量为410万吨，其中热轧占36%，涂层占30%，冷轧占14%，钢板占6%，不锈钢和电气占4%，其他占10%，包括板坯和钢轨。

54亿美元的炼钢收入中，有20亿美元是面向汽车市场的直接销售，占36%；基础设施和制造业市场销售额为14亿美元，占26%；13亿美元，占分销商和转换器市场销售额的24%；7.37亿美元，占钢铁生产商销售额的14%。

流动性和现金流量

2023年第三季度，Cliffs的运营现金流为7.67亿美元，自由现金流为6.05亿美元，其中大部分用于偿还公司ABL贷款的债务，未偿余额减少了5亿多美元。

截至2023年9月30日，公司净债务为34亿美元，低于2023年第二季度的39亿美元。截至2023年第三季度，公司总流动资金为44亿美元。

在2023年第三季度，Cliffs还以每股15.09美元的平均价格回购了390万股普通股。

前景

该公司之前制定的成本削减目标仍然是目标，Cliffs目前预计，从2023年第三季度到第四季度，每净吨钢铁单位成本将再降低15美元，并在2024年之前进一步降低成本。预计营运资金将在2023年第四季度为自由现金流带来显著收益。

cliff还将其2023年全年资本支出预期下调至6.7亿美元，低于此前7亿美元的指导区间的中点。

uncertainties associated with the highly competitive and cyclical steel industry and our reliance on the demand for steel from the automotive industry, which has been experiencing supply chain disruptions, such as the semiconductor shortage, the UAW strike, and higher consumer interest rates, which could result in lower steel volumes being demanded; potential weaknesses and uncertainties in global economic conditions, excess global steelmaking capacity, oversupply of iron ore, prevalence of steel imports and reduced market demand, including as a result of inflationary pressures, infectious disease outbreaks, conflicts or otherwise; severe financial hardship, bankruptcy, temporary or permanent shutdowns or operational challenges of one or more of our major customers, including customers in the automotive market, key suppliers or contractors, which, among other adverse effects, could disrupt our operations or lead to reduced demand for our products, increased difficulty collecting receivables, and customers and/or suppliers asserting force majeure or other reasons for not performing their contractual obligations to us; disruptions to our operations relating to an infectious disease outbreak, including workforce challenges and the risk that novel variants will prove resistant to existing vaccines or that new or continuing lockdowns in China will impact our ability to source certain critical supplies in a timely and predictable manner; risks related to U.S. government actions with respect to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (as amended by the Trade Act of 1974), the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement and/or other trade agreements, tariffs, treaties or policies, as well as the uncertainty of obtaining and maintaining effective antidumping and countervailing duty orders to counteract the harmful effects of unfairly traded imports; impacts of existing and increasing governmental regulation, including potential environmental regulations relating to climate change and carbon emissions, and related costs and liabilities, including failure to receive or maintain required operating and environmental permits, approvals, modifications or other authorizations of, or from, any governmental or regulatory authority and costs related to implementing improvements to ensure compliance with regulatory changes, including potential financial assurance requirements, and reclamation and remediation obligations; potential impacts to the environment or exposure to hazardous substances resulting from our operations; our ability to maintain adequate liquidity, our level of indebtedness and the availability of capital could limit our financial flexibility and cash flow necessary to fund working capital, planned capital expenditures, acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes or ongoing needs of our business; our ability to reduce our indebtedness or return capital to shareholders within the currently expected timeframes or at all; adverse changes in credit ratings, interest rates, foreign currency rates and tax laws, including adverse impacts as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022; the outcome of, and costs incurred in connection with, lawsuits, claims, arbitrations or governmental proceedings relating to commercial and business disputes, antitrust claims, environmental matters, government investigations, occupational or personal injury claims, property-related matters, labor and employment matters, or suits involving legacy operations and other matters; uncertain availability or cost, due to inflation or otherwise, of critical manufacturing equipment and spare parts; supply chain disruptions or changes in the cost, quality or availability of energy sources, including electricity, natural gas and diesel fuel, or critical raw materials and supplies, including iron ore, industrial gases, graphite electrodes, scrap metal, chrome, zinc, coke and metallurgical coal;

liabilities and costs arising in connection with any business decisions to temporarily or indefinitely idle or permanently close an operating facility or mine, which could adversely impact the carrying value of associated assets and give rise to impairment charges or closure and reclamation obligations, as well as uncertainties associated with restarting any previously idled operating facility or mine; our level of self-insurance and our ability to obtain sufficient third-party insurance to adequately cover potential adverse events and business risks; uncertainties associated with our ability to meet customers' and suppliers' decarbonization goals and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions in alignment with our own announced targets; challenges to maintaining our social license to operate with our stakeholders, including the impacts of our operations on local communities, reputational impacts of operating in a carbon-intensive industry that produces greenhouse gas emissions, and our ability to foster a consistent operational and safety track record; our actual economic mineral reserves or reductions in current mineral reserve estimates, and any title defect or loss of any lease, license, easement or other possessory interest for any mining property; our ability to maintain satisfactory labor relations with unions and employees; unanticipated or higher costs associated with pension and other post-employment benefit obligations resulting from changes in the value of plan assets or contribution increases required for unfunded obligations;
