2024年第二季度收入为51亿美元，而2024年第一季度为52亿美元。

2024年第二季度，公司向Cliffs股东记录的GAAP每股摊薄每股收益为0.00美元，调整后每股摊薄每股收益为0.11美元。GAAP业绩包括总计4700万美元的费用和损失，主要与韦尔顿马口铁工厂的无限期闲置和债务清偿损失有关。第二季度GAAP净收入为900万美元，而2024年第一季度GAAP净亏损为5300万美元。

2024年第二季度调整后EBITDA2为3.23亿美元，而2024年第一季度为4.14亿美元。

在2024年第二季度，公司根据先前授权的15亿美元股票回购计划回购了750万股CLF普通股。

Cliffs董事长、总裁兼首席执行官Lourenco Goncalves表示：“我们第二季度产生的3.62亿美元的自由现金流清楚地表明，即使在不利的商业环境下，Cliffs也有能力度过这个周期。尽管整个季度钢材需求不理想，价格疲软，但皇冠体育斯经营得非常好。我们达到了降低成本的目标，并按原计划的吨位发货。有了这笔资金，我们能够偿还超过2亿美元的债务，并通过股票回购向股东返还约1.25亿美元。”

贡萨尔维斯还说：“我们还在几个问题上采取了行动，这将带来进一步的长期成功。我们对上周宣布的对Stelco的收购感到兴奋。我们长期以来一直钦佩Stelco，并渴望将北美成本最低的扁钢生产资产之一纳入我们的业务范围。我们继续与所有与交易相关的主要利益相关者接触，包括USW和高级政府官员。很明显，他们认识到我们将为加拿大、安大略省和Stelco运营的当地社区带来的净效益，特别是在环境和社会方面。我们在国际空间站的最新得分反映了这一点，因为7月份我们在环境和社会方面都获得了1分，这是最好的得分，远远领先于我们的行业同行。”

Goncalves先生继续说道：“除了收购Stelco，我们还展示了我们识别和追求下游机会的能力。正如我们今天在西弗吉尼亚州宣布的那样，我们正在重新利用我们的韦尔顿马口铁厂来生产变压器。我们将在韦尔顿生产的变压器将直接销售给最终用户和电力行业的其他参与者，甚至在不久的将来人工智能起飞之前，我们国家的电力需求开始呈指数级增长，为迫切需要更多变压器的市场提供供应。该项目将利用我们目前未充分利用的产能，将皇冠体育官网制造的谷物取向电工钢（GOES）的吨位提高30%至40%，由宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒的皇冠体育-克利夫斯独家生产。与此同时，我们的变压器工厂将在西弗吉尼亚州为600名usw代表工人提供再就业机会。我们很高兴能让几乎所有因中国、日本、韩国和荷兰等国向皇冠体育官网倾销外国生产的马口铁而被不公平地取代的劳动力重返工作岗位。”

Goncalves先生总结道：“展望未来，我们预计第三季度将受益于成本的再次大幅下降。我们最大的终端市场——汽车行业——仍然保持良好的状态，随着海运钢材进口的枯竭，来自服务中心客户的订单预计会增加。我们最近宣布的增长，无论是通过并购还是下游扩张，都清楚地表明，我们仍处于新皇冠体育-克利夫斯的早期阶段，这是我们在2020年成为一家钢铁公司时诞生的。我们显然还没有结束，最好的还在后面。”

2024年第二季度钢铁产品销售量为400万吨，其中热轧35%，涂层29%，冷轧16%，钢板5%，不锈钢和电气4%，其他11%，包括板和钢轨。

49亿美元的炼钢收入中，有15亿美元是直接销往汽车市场，占30%；14亿美元，占基础设施和制造业市场销售额的29%；14亿美元，占分销商和转换器市场销售额的28%；对钢铁生产商的销售额为6.32亿美元，占总销售额的13%。

流动性和现金流量

截至2024年6月30日，公司的长期债务为35亿美元，净债务为34亿美元，本季度净债务减少了2.37亿美元。截至2024年第二季度，该公司的流动资金总额为37亿美元。

前景

Cliffs将2024年全年资本支出预期范围从此前的6.75亿至7.25亿美元下调至6.5亿至7亿美元。

此外，公司的钢铁单位成本同比降低约30美元/吨的目标仍在继续。
