• 第三季度收入为57亿美元
• 第三季度净收入1.65亿美元
• 第三季度调整后EBITDA1为4.52亿美元
• 预估养恤金/业务外负债净额较上次重新计量减少18亿美元

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2022年9月30日的第三季度业绩。

2022年第三季度综合收入为57亿美元，而去年第三季度收入为60亿美元。2022年第三季度，公司净收入为1.65亿美元，摊薄后每股收益0.29美元，归属于Cliffs股东。去年第三季度，公司净收入为13亿美元，摊薄后每股收益为2.33美元。

截至2022年9月30日的九个月中，公司的收入为179亿美元，净收入为16亿美元，即摊薄后每股收益2.95美元。在2021年前9个月，公司的收入为151亿美元，净收入为21亿美元，摊薄后每股收益为3.69美元。

减少养老金/OPEB负债

结合其与皇冠体育官网皇冠体育联合会新批准的劳动协议，公司重新评估了其相关的养老金/OPEB计划资产和义务。自2021年12月31日最后一次重新计量以来，预估养老金/OPEB负债（资产净值）减少了18亿美元，即63%。减少的主要原因是医疗保健费用的降低，这是与劳动协议分开谈判的。由于批准的时间，全面影响没有反映在本季度的资产负债表上。本公司已提供下表的形式资料。

重新计量反映了截至2022年9月30日受影响计划的计划修订、贴现率、资产价值和其他精算假设的更新。2022年，利率上升的影响主要被较低的市场回报所抵消。

此外，cliff预计，与OPEB计划相关的现金流需求将在未来每年减少1亿美元以上，约为50%。

2022年第三季度调整后EBITDA1为4.52亿美元，而2021年第三季度调整后EBITDA1为19亿美元。2022年前9个月，公司报告调整后EBITDA1为30亿美元，而2021年同期为38亿美元。

Cliffs董事长、总裁兼首席执行官Lourenco Goncalves表示：“我们第三季度的业绩受到前期投入成本上升和维护活动导致的库存延迟影响。现在，所有主要项目都已结束，生产水平恢复正常，我们预计成本将在第四季度大幅下降，并进一步下降到2023年。”

Goncalves先生补充说：“第三季度对我们汽车客户的出货量显著改善，达到了六个季度以来的最高水平。这使得我们在第三季度保持了销量的稳定，尽管服务中心的活动要弱得多。我们预计汽车出货量的这一积极趋势将持续到第四季度，同时我们成功续签了与10月份周期相关的合同，从而提高了价格。随着汽车行业产量的增加，现货贸易供应应该会收紧。这支持了未来的定价。”

Goncalves先生继续说道：“我们第三季度最重要的事件是与usw代表的员工达成协议并随后批准了新的4年劳动合同，这些员工占我们员工总数的一半以上。与此同时，我们利用我们的规模成功地为我们的退休人员谈判了更好的医疗费率，大幅减少了我们的退休后负债。”

Goncalves先生总结道：“众所周知，收购时假设的养老金和OPEB负债是我们在2020年12月从安赛乐米塔尔收购皇冠体育官网资产时杠杆化的企业价值的主要来源。随着时间的推移，收购后我们总共42亿美元的负债已经变得无关紧要，因为我们现在的账面上只剩下11亿美元。同时，我们还为非usw退休人员计划重新协商了较低的医疗保险费，目前尚未重新衡量。对这些非usw计划的重新评估将在年底进行，届时我们预计养老金和OPEB负债总额将比目前的预估数据更低。”

2022年第三季度钢铁产品销售量为360万吨，其中涂层占33%，热轧占29%，冷轧占15%，钢板占6%，不锈钢和电气占5%，其他占12%，包括板和钢轨。

55亿美元的炼钢收入中，有17亿美元（31%）来自汽车市场的直接销售；15亿美元，占分销商和转换器市场销售额的27%；基础设施和制造业市场销售额15亿美元，占比27%；8.47亿美元，占钢铁生产商销售额的15%。

与2022年第二季度相比，2022年第三季度炼钢单位成本增加，原因是前期生产的成本库存增加的滞后效应，受到维修和维护费用增加、产量下降以及天然气、电力、废料和合金成本上升的影响。

流动性和现金流量

截至2022年10月21日，公司的总流动性约为24亿美元。

在2022年第三季度，该公司偿还了1.55亿美元的ABL贷款。皇冠体育斯还完成了在公开市场上回购总额为4,100万美元的各类未偿优先票据，平均价格为面值的88%。

此外，cliff在2022年第三季度以每股16.97美元的平均价格回购了200万股股票。

前景

根据目前的2022年期货曲线，这意味着今年剩余时间热轧卷钢指数平均价格为730美元/净吨，该公司预计其2022年全年平均售价约为1370美元/净吨。这包括在2022年10月1日重新设定固定合同价格的改进，以及对预期组合的更新，包括2022年第四季度预期的平板出货量增加。

维修和维护成本的降低、产量的增加以及能源和原材料成本的降低，预计将推动炼钢单位运营成本在2022年第四季度每净吨至少降低80美元。
