Acerinox on Track to Achieve Best Results Ever in 2021

Spanish stainless steel giant Acerinox reported that profit after tax and non-controlling interests in the first nine months of 2021 amounted to EUR 373 million as compared to EUR 31 million in January to September 2020. Meltshop production increased by 26% YoY to 1,992,038 tonnes and revenue totalled EUR 4,769 million, a 38% increase compared to the first nine months of 2020. EBITDA, at EUR 671 million, was 2.7 times higher and the EBITDA margin rose to 14%. These results are driven by the strong performance of the US market. All of the Acerinox Group’s business units are recognising positive results, although the improvement seen in Acerinox Europa is being limited by the rise in energy costs. Acerinox CEO Mr Bernardo Velázquez said “Cost control management and efficiency improvements have enabled us to take advantage of the good market situation.”

The strong activity was maintained across all markets in the third quarter. In the third quarter of the year, the strong activity in the stainless steel division was maintained across all markets, and pre-Covid levels were achieved in the high-performance alloys division. In the aforementioned quarter, profit after tax and non-controlling interests amounted to EUR 171 million, 6 times higher than in the third quarter of 2020 (37% higher than in the second quarter of 2021). EBITDA, which totalled EUR 293 million, was 3.3 times higher than in the third quarter of 2020 (representing a 35% increase on the second quarter of 2021). The EBITDA margin was 17%. Between July and September, revenue, amounting to EUR 1,703 million, increased by 52% in comparison with the third quarter of 2020 (representing a 5% increase on the second quarter of 2021).

Acerinox said “The positive backlog situation, in both the stainless steel and high performance alloys divisions, affords the Group to have visibility until the first quarter of 2022. Despite the end-of-year seasonality, Acerinox estimates that EBITDA will improve slightly from the third to the fourth quarter, due to strong demand and low inventory levels. If these forecasts prove correct, the Group will achieve its best results ever.”

MMK Reduces Integrated Air Pollution Index of Magnitogorsk City

Russian steel maker MMK’s Director for Labor Protection, Industrial Safety and Ecology Mr Grigory Shchurov, while speaking at the round table "Be honest: the whole truth about emissions into the atmosphere", announced that MMK has reduced the integrated air pollution index of Magnitogorsk by 2.5 times since 2017. In 2015, the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works adopted a strategic development plan until 2025, one of the key goals of which is to drastically reduce the impact on the atmospheric air. The environmental measures implemented by MMK have already resulted in a 2.5-fold decrease in the integrated atmospheric pollution index KIZA of Magnitogorsk since 2017. The company plans to reduce the KIZA indicator by 2025 to the level of 5 units, which will correspond to the "Clean City" status.

He said “The implementation of a comprehensive action plan within the framework of the federal project Clean Air, of which we are a participant, will allow by 2024 to reduce the total emissions of pollutants in the city of Magnitogorsk relative to 2017 by 48 thousand tons or by 23 percent. A striking example of PJSC MMK's environmental investments is the construction of a modern sinter plant No. 5, which corresponds to the best world technologies, the launch of which made it possible to decommission the obsolete sinter plant No. 4 and significantly reduce the impact on the environment."

Among other significant recently implemented environmental projects by MMK are the construction of aspiration systems for foundry yards and bunker rooms at six blast furnaces, the reconstruction of a gas cleaning unit for a twin-shaft steel-making unit and sulfur trapping units in the sinter shop.

As of today, the construction of gas cleaning units in the oxygen-converter and electric steel-making shops, a new coke oven battery No 12 is in the active phase of implementation; it is planned to build a new blast furnace No 11. The implementation of the above projects will make it possible to take out of service the morally and physically obsolete units: five coke oven batteries and three blast furnaces.

Danieli Signs The Science Based Target Initiative

Danieli has submitted its commitment to reach zero CO2 emissions by 2050 to Science Based Target Initiative on November 2, 2021. Danieli is continuing down its path towards carbon neutrality with determination thanks to the gradual decarbonization of its production processes and value chain. For the CEO Giacomo Mareschi Danieli, this is a fundamental strength to ensure the enduring competitive edge of a company.

In June of 2019, Danieli had already received from SBTi the validation and certification of its emissions reduction targets, approved with a well-below 2 degree Celsius trajectory, in line with the requirements of the Paris Agreement and the Paris COP21 conference.

Below are Danieli’s targets based on a holistic approach for Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions:

In 2021, as the second important step on its pathway towards decarbonization, Danieli requested and received from SBTi an approval of its commitment to an even more challenging target, Business Ambition 1.5 degree Celsius, in line with the targets set out by COP26, which is currently taking place in Glasgow.

Finally, the path continues today having reached the third step in which Danieli has requested to also be accepted for Net-Zero Standard – or achieving zero emissions by striking a balance between carbon emissions and carbon absorption, by 2050.

Science-Based Target Initiative is a global partnership between the Carbon Disclosure Project, the Global Compact of the United Nations, the World Resources Institute and the WWF, which aims to translate the objective of limiting global warming into a science-based emissions reduction target.

US Steel Kosice Undertaking BF 1 Maintenance in November

US Steel’s European flat steel subsidiary US Steel Kosice will stop one of its three BFs for repairs in November. The producer plans a 60-day outage at its BF No 1 of 1.2 million tonnes capacity to start in November and last through the remainder of the year. US Steel CFO Mr Christine Breves told analysts "This will remove approximately 250,000 tonnes of lost steel equivalent capacity from the market in the fourth quarter. Operational headwinds as a result of the planned outage modestly lower shipments and changes to the pricing dynamic in Europe are expected to result in reduced fourth quarter EBITDA versus the third quarter.”

US Steel Europe shipped 1.1 million tonnes of fiat steel products in Q3 2021, which is 35% higher than in the same period of the past year. Division’s EBITDA jumped from USD 39 million in Q3 of 2020 to USD 418 million in Q3 2021. EBIT/st was USD 370 for the quarter as against USD 16 in Q3 of 2020).

Beursblik: UBS verhoogt koersdoel ArcelorMittal

Door ABM Financial News op donderdag 4 november 2021
Views: 889

(ABM FN-Dow Jones) UBS heeft donderdag het koersdoel voor ArcelorMittal verhoogd van 33,00 naar 35,00 euro met een herhaling van de koopaanbeveling. Dit bleek uit een rapport van de Zwitserse bank.

Analist Andrew Jones stelt zich in zijn rapport de vraag of het aandeel ArcelorMittal kan stijgen in een dalende staalmarkt. Het antwoord is volgens de analist volmondig 'ja'.

De reden dat Jones vertrouwen heeft in ArcelorMittal is de vrije kasstroom van de staalreus. Ook verhoogde de analist zijn ramingen voor de staalprijzen, vooral in de VS. Jones denkt dat de staalprijzen gaan dalen volgend jaar, maar minder hard dan hij aanvankelijk dacht. "Hoger dan verwachte prijzen in het vierde kwartaal zullen positief uitpakken voor de contractonderhandelingen met de autofabrikanten", merkte Jones op.

Voor 2022 rekent UBS op een EBITDA voor ArcelorMittal van 16,2 miljard euro, dat is 23 procent meer dan de consensus. Tussen 2021 en 2023 zal de vrije kasstroom van de staalreus goed zijn voor circa 67 procent van de marktkapitalisatie van het bedrijf, daarbij ook geholpen door een vrijval van 4 tot 5 miljard dollar aan werkkapitaal.

Volgende week komt ArcelorMittal met kwartaalcijfers, "en die zullen sterk zijn", aldus Jones. Hij rekent voor het derde kwartaal op een EBITDA van 6,3 miljard dollar, waar de consensus uitgaat van 6,15 miljard dollar.

Samen met een mogelijke aankondiging van een aandeleninkoopprogramma zal dit de koers steunen, verwacht UBS.

Het aandeel ArcelorMittal noteert donderdag een half procent hoger op 28,75 euro.

ArcelorMittal Canada to Convert Port Cartier Plant to DRI Pellets

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
05 Nov, 2021, 4:36 am

At an event held at COP26, ArcelorMittal and the government of Quebec announced a CAD 205 million investment by ArcelorMittal Mining Canada in its Port-Cartier pellet plant, enabling this facility to convert its entire 10 million tonne pellet production to direct reduced iron pellets by the end of 2025. The investment, in which the Quebec government will contribute through an electricity rebate of up to CAD 80 million, will enable the Port-Cartier plant to become one of the world's largest producers of DRI pellets, the raw material feedstock for iron making in a DRI furnace. The project includes the implementation of a flotation system that will enable a significant reduction of silica in the iron ore pellets, facilitating the production of a very high-quality pellet.

The project will deliver a direct annual CO2e reduction of approximately 200,000 tonnes at by ArcelorMittal Mining Canada’s Port-Cartier pellet plant, equivalent to over 20% of the pellet plant's total annual CO2e emissions. This reduction in CO2e emissions will be achieved through a reduction in the energy required during the pelletizing process.

A DRI plant uses natural gas to reduce iron ore, resulting in a significant reduction in CO2 emissions compared with coal-based blast furnace iron making. In Hamburg, Germany, ArcelorMittal is trialling replacing natural gas with hydrogen to make DRI, with its industrial scale pilot project anticipated to be commissioned before the end of 2025. The DRI installations the Company has announced it is developing in Belgium, Canada and Spain are all being constructed to be hydrogen-ready, so as and when green hydrogen is available in sufficient quantities at affordable prices the Company can produce DRI with near zero-carbon emissions.

Approximately 250 jobs are expected to be created during the construction phase of the project in Port-Cartier, which is scheduled to begin in mid-2023 and complete before the end of 2025.

AMMC's pellet plant currently produces 10 million tonnes of pellets annually, of which 7 million tonnes are blast furnace pellets and 3 million tonnes are direct reduced iron pellets.

GFG Alliance Launches Partnerships to Drive GREENSTEEL Transition

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
05 Nov, 2021, 4:38 am

Sustainable industry leader GFG Alliance, owner of LIBERTY Steel Group, has announced the launch of a major new three-way policy partnership with thought-leading organisations in the spheres of environment, manufacturing and policy-making. GFG's partnership with Green Alliance, the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre and Bright Blue comes during the COP26 summit in Glasgow, where the three organisations will set out thinking on policies required to develop a sustainable future for UK steel and embed investor support for the decarbonisation of steel production. GFG Alliance Executive Chairman Mr Sanjeev Gupta said "The UK steel sector has been under enormous strain in recent years due to competitiveness issues and a lack of investment, yet the chance to show leadership and innovation in GREENSTEEL is now there to be grasped.”

The partnership is being launched with a "Prospectus for GREENSTEEL", in which the three organisations highlight the role that steel making and products made from steel can play in the drive to net-zero, and with a competitive operating environment and the right policy incentives in place.

GFG Alliance, a lead sponsor of the World Climate Summit, has for over a decade led the debate on the need for transition to GREENSTEEL. LIBERTY Steel UK operates electric arc furnaces at its Rotherham site which recycle steel scrap instead of producing steel from coal and iron ore. Electric arc furnaces produce only a tenth of the direct emissions compared with traditional blast furnace operations but are highly electro-intensive. With a rapidly decarbonising energy grid the UK has a significant opportunity to lead the GREENSTEEL transformation by recycling steel with renewable power.
