皇冠体育-皇冠体育斯公布2021年第一季度业绩，并将2021年全年调整后EBITDA指引上调至40亿美元

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2021年3月31日的第一季度业绩。

2021年第一季度合并收入为40亿美元，而去年第一季度收入为3.59亿美元。

2021年第一季度，公司净收入为4100万美元，摊薄后每股收益为0.07美元。这包括以下费用，总计1.6亿美元，或每股摊薄0.28美元：

• 在收购安赛乐米塔尔皇冠体育官网公司几乎所有业务后，与库存重估有关的库存增加摊销费用为8100万美元，或每股摊销0.14美元；
• 6600万美元（摊薄后每股0.12美元）的债务清偿费用；和
• 1300万美元的遣散费和收购相关费用，相当于每股摊薄后每股0.02美元。

去年第一季度，公司净亏损5200万美元，摊薄后每股亏损0.18美元。

2021年第一季度调整后EBITDA1为5.13亿美元，而2020年第一季度为2300万美元。

前景

该公司已将其2021年全年调整后的EBITDA2指引上调至约40亿美元，比之前的约35亿美元的指引增加了5亿美元。对全年的修正是基于好于预期的合同续约，并假设皇冠体育官网HRC指数在今年最后9个月的平均价格为每净吨1100美元。公司第二季度调整后的EBITDA2预期为12亿美元。

cliff的董事长、总裁兼首席执行官Lourenco Goncalves表示：“第一季度只是Cleveland-Cliffs全面转型后的第一个完整季度，我们已经取得了很多成就。话虽如此，随着我们一直在实施的所有运营和商业行动，最好的结果将在2021年的剩余时间里出现。”

Goncalves先生补充说：“随着时间的推移，我们所处的价格环境将变得非常清楚，并将继续受益于未来，这不是运气的结果。我们预计全年调整后的EBITDA为40亿美元，这是基于相对于当前定价和当前远期曲线的保守定价预期。这将使我们能够创造创纪录的自由现金流水平，并偿还大量债务，使我们能够在年底前达到不到1倍的杠杆率。”

Goncalves先生总结道：“凭借我们在行业中的皇冠体育领导地位，我们既关注盈利能力，也关注环境管理和支持高薪的中产阶级工会工作。我们减少环境足迹的承诺只会进一步加强皇冠体育官网作为所有主要钢铁生产国中最清洁的钢铁生产国的地位。作为一个仅占全球钢铁行业温室气体排放量2%的国家，皇冠体育官网有权在皇冠体育官网生产和制造钢铁，而不是进口钢铁，并允许外国污染国家以牺牲皇冠体育官网工人为代价出口其充分就业。”

炼钢

2021年第一季度钢材产量为410万吨，其中涂层33%，热轧28%，冷轧18%，钢板7%，不锈钢和电气4%，其他10%，包括板坯和钢轨。

39亿美元的炼钢收入中，汽车市场的销售额占13亿美元，占33%；分销商和转换器市场销售额的32%，即12亿美元；9.54亿美元，占基础设施和制造业市场销售额的24%；对钢铁生产商的销售额为4.3亿美元，占11%。

2021年第一季度销售的炼钢成本包括2.06亿美元的折旧、损耗和摊销，以及8100万美元的库存增加摊销。部门调整后的EBITDA为5.37亿美元，其中还包括5300万美元的SG&A费用。

现金流量和流动性

2021年第一季度经营活动使用的净现金为3.73亿美元，主要受到之前披露的安赛乐米塔尔皇冠体育官网保理协议解除相关的约6.5亿美元净营运资本建设的影响，以及由于价格上涨导致的应收账款增加。此外，公司在第一季度根据《关怀法案》（CARES Act）缴纳了1.18亿美元的递延养老金，这将不会再发生。

截至2021年4月19日，公司的总流动资金约为18亿美元。

皇冠体育-皇冠体育斯公司子公司的非公认会计准则调整- ebitda和调整后的ebitda

除了按照皇冠体育官网公认会计准则提交的合并财务报表外，公司还在合并的基础上提交了EBITDA和调整后的EBITDA。EBITDA和调整后的EBITDA是管理层在评估经营业绩时使用的非公认会计准则财务指标。这些指标的表述不应被视为与按照皇冠体育官网公认会计准则编制和表述的财务信息分离、替代或优于。这些指标的表述可能与其他公司使用的非公认会计准则财务指标不同。下表提供了这些合并措施与其最直接可比的GAAP措施的对账。

皇冠体育-皇冠体育斯公司以及子公司调整后的ebitda展望

由于预测发生的不确定性和固有的困难以及影响可比性的项目的财务影响，我们无法在不合理的努力下，将我们的预期调整后的EBITDA与其最直接可比的GAAP财务指标——净收入进行调和。这包括最终确定与收购安赛乐米塔尔皇冠体育官网公司有关的对价对收购的净有形和无形资产、承担的负债和相关的税收影响的初步分配。出于同样的原因，我们无法说明这些信息的重要性。
