- Profit attributable to equity shareholders of Mechel PAO – 1.4 bln rubles
MOSCOW, Aug. 15, 2019 - Mechel PAO (MOEX: MTLR, NYSE: MTL), a leading Russian mining and steel group, announces financial results for the 2Q 2019.
Mechel PAO’s Chief Executive Officer Oleg Korzhov commented:
“Consolidated EBITDA in the second quarter went down by 2% quarter-on-quarter even as Steel and Mining divisions’ EBITDA steadily grew, due to the change in inter-segment margin and inter-segment inventories balance.
“Regarding our operational results, I would like to mention the 31% rise in coal mining volumes quarter-on-quarter. It was accomplished due to our earlier efforts to restore mining fleet at our mining facilities as well as to prepare reserves for mining. Stripping volumes went up 28% quarter-on-quarter. This enabled us to increase coking coal concentrate sales by 13% and PCI sales by 9% quarter-on-quarter. The steel division also demonstrated an increase in sales volumes of its main products upon stable steel output. Sales of long products (including intra-group sales) went up by 8%, stampings by 5%, hardware by 3%. Sales of the universal rolling mill’s high-margin products, which also fall into long products category, went up by 13%.
“Coal mining volumes will continue to grow in the future. Despite a decrease in mining in 1Q2019, this year’s total results will exceed last year’s. The steel division will continue increasing the share of high value-added products in its sales. Even though we suspended a blast furnace at Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant for an overhaul, we do not plan to decrease output and sales, with priority given to the most profitable products.
“As for the company’s plans and perspectives, it must be noted that we are approaching the period of our main debt’s maturity in accordance with loan agreements we made with lender banks in 2016. Even though the company is working stably and generating a cash flow sufficient to meet all current financial obligations, debt servicing and financing capital expenditures, in the current conditions this cash flow will not be enough to fulfill all our obligations on repaying the debt in the period of 2020-2022. We have accordingly called on our lenders with an offer on moving the debt maturity to a later period. The banks are now considering our offer, and we expect to reach an agreement on this issue in the nearest future.”

Mechel PAO’s Chief Financial Officer Nelli Galeeva commented:
“Consolidated EBITDA in the second quarter totaled 15.0 billion rubles. Profit attributable to equity shareholders of Mechel PAO went down quarter-on-quarter to 1.4 billion rubles. Dynamics of foreign exchange gains on foreign currency obligations had a major impact on this indicator in connection with the ruble strengthening against US dollar and euro downward trend in this reporting period.
“The mining division’s gross profit went up by 8% and EBITDA by 5% in 2Q2019 quarter-on-quarter.
“Elgaugol, the mining segment’s key investment project, demonstrated an increase in mining volumes by 41% quarter-on-quarter. Increased output brought Elgaugol a 15% increase in revenue quarter-on-quarter.
“In the second quarter, the steel segment demonstrated restored output and sales volumes. Sales went up across nearly the entire product range. The increase in sales, supported by the seasonal hike in prices for steel products, led to an overall 11% increase in revenue quarter-on-quarter. Despite a persistent upward trend in iron ore prices, the segment upped its gross profit by 18%, EBITDA went up from 3.3 billion rubles in 1Q2019 to 4.4 billion in 2Q2019, with EBITDA margin of 9%.
“Despite a slight decrease in cash inflows from operating activity, the operating cash flow remains sufficient not only for providing for the Group’s operational needs but also for reducing its leverage.
“Our financial expenses went down by 0.2 billion rubles from 10.1 billion rubles in 1Q2019 to 9.9 billion rubles in 2Q2019, which was due to lower average currency exchange rate as well as a lower Central Bank of the Russian Federation key interest rate and other floating rates in our loan portfolio.
“We paid a total of 8.2 billion rubles interest in 2Q2019, including capitalized interest, which complies with the average quarterly results on this point. Current average interest rate is 7.8%, average paid interest rate is 7.7%.
“The Group’s net debt excluding fines and penalties on overdue amounts and options went down by 12 billion rubles as compared to December 31, 2018, and amounted to 411 billion rubles. This was due to the ruble’s strengthening against US dollar and euro, as well as some repayment of loan principal, which was partly offset by the increased lease obligations in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases that requires to recognize assets and obligations not only on financial but also long-term operating lease, which led to an increase in such assets and obligations in 1H2019 by over 8 billion rubles.
“The Net Debt to EBITDA ratio amounted to 6.4 by the end of 2Q2019. This figure grew compared to the previous reporting period due to EBITDA decrease. The debt portfolio’s structure was stable, with 65% of our debt nominated in rubles and the remainder in foreign currency. Russian state-owned banks account for 88% of our lenders.”
Mining Segment
Revenue from contracts with external customers went up by 3% quarter-on-quarter as coking coal concentrate sales increased. The division’s revenue dynamics in 1H2019 year-on-year was determined by a variety of factors — an increase in sales of coking coal concentrate, steam coal, iron ore concentrate and coke was partly offset by a decrease in sales of other metallurgical coals and middlings. As a result, the segment’s revenue in 1H2019 went up by 3% year-on-year.
The second quarter’s EBITDA demonstrated a 5% growth quarter-on-quarter. The increase in coking coal concentrate sales, higher iron ore and steam coal prices had a positive effect on EBITDA. Positive dynamics was restricted by increased production costs due to significant stripping volumes, as well as higher selling expenses and railroad tariffs. EBITDA’s 9% decrease in 1H2019 year-on-year was caused by increased production and sales costs due to advanced stripping volumes and an extensive repair program.
Mechel Mining Management OOO’s Chief Executive Officer Igor Khafizov noted:
“In the second quarter, coal mining at Yakutugol Holding Company went up by 40.6%, at Elgaugol by 41% and at Southern Kuzbass Coal Company by 18% quarter-on-quarter. As a result, total mining volumes went up by 31% as compared to the previous quarter. The division’s facilities also significantly increased stripping volumes.
“Naturally, extra effort of preparing reserves for future mining currently impact our products’ costs and the division’s financial results, but it is important for further restoration of coal mining volumes. In the future, we plan to see a further increase in mining and stripping works will continue at high level.
“In order to improve our operational performance, we continue to put into operation new mining machines, repair our existing equipment and expand contractors presence at our facilities.
“In the second quarter, Elgaugol launched a walking dragline ESh 20/90. Southern Kuzbass Coal Company received a lot of new equipment. In the second half of this year, four new trucks will be launched at Korshunov Mining Plant and 11 more at Southern Kuzbass. Yakutugol’s washing plant will receive over ten new equipment units. Also, in the third quarter Southern Kuzbass plans to launch two new longwalls at V.I. Lenina Underground and Sibirginskaya Underground mines, with a total capacity of over 1.5 million tonnes of coking coal.”

Steel Segment
Revenue from contracts with external customers went up by 11% quarter-on-quarter as sales volumes and prices of division’s products increased. Rebar and rails demonstrated the most growth. The 6% decrease in 1H2019 revenue year-on-year was due to a decrease in steel output and sales of rebar, other long products and flat products.
The second quarter’s EBITDA demonstrated a 34% growth quarter-on-quarter. EBITDA’s positive dynamics was held back by higher production costs as iron ore prices went up. The 1H2019 EBITDA’s year-on-year drop by 47% was largely due to a decrease in output and sales that was partly compensated for by higher prices.
Mechel-Steel Management Company OOO’s Chief Executive Officer Andrey Ponomarev noted:
“In the second quarter, our division boosted output and sales volumes. Thanks to a seasonal spike in demand for construction products we increased rebar sales by 11%. In addition, rail sales went up by over 90% quarter-on-quarter. Signing a new agreement with Russian Railways, key consumer of our rails, in late 1Q2019 helped with this.
“Increase in sales volumes came during a favorable market trend characteristic for the summer period. Heightened rates of residential construction proved an additional support to market prices. In these conditions, the division’s financial results demonstrated strong positive dynamics as compared to the previous quarter.
“Currently prices for construction products remain high, even though the trend has turned downward as the second half of this year began. Nevertheless, we expect that our maintaining the tendency of increasing the share of high value-added products in our sales structure will support the division’s financial results. The downward trend in iron ore prices, which peaked early in the third quarter, will also have a positive effect on our output’s profitability Vale S.A. resuming production at its assets as well as gradual output increase by other iron ore producers will help dampen the prices.
“In order to ensure stable output, we continue to pursue our repair program. In the second quarter, Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant conducted planned repairs of the sinter machine #4, blast furnace #1, converter #2 and two concasters as well as the universal rolling mill. In July, we began overhauling the blast furnace #4. We also plan to begin replacing the converter #1 in the third quarter.
“Urals Stampings Plant joined forces with Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant to master production of bulk steel rolls from 61-tonne ingots. The plant is working on the know-how of producing and forging 72- and 80-tonne ingots.”

Power Segment
Mechel-Energo OOO’s Chief Executive Officer Denis Graf noted:
“The division’s operational results and its financial indicators dynamics are mostly seasonal in nature. Due to the heating period’s end and beginning of summer repairs of our key generating equipment, the division’s financial results in the second quarter decreased quarter-on-quarter. EBITDA’s decrease in 1H2019 year-on-year was due to higher prices for electricity purchased as well as on raw materials such as coal and residual fuel oil.”
