Q3 & 9M 2021 NLMK Group Trading Update
NLMK Group (LSE: NLMK, MOEX: NLMK) today announces that its Q3 2021 sales totalled 4.1 m t
(-4% qoq). Sales in export markets grew by 2% qoq to 1.4 m t amid stable demand.
Q3 2021 highlights:
· Steel output decreased by 15% qoq to 3.9 m t (+1% yoy) due to the incident in the steelmaking production oxygen supply infrastructure at the Lipetsk site in August and the subsequent repair works.
· Sales were down by 4% qoq to 4.1 m t (-7% yoy) following a decrease in NLMK Lipetsk production output. Capacity utilization rates recovered once repairs were complete and reached 97% in September. Sales of semi-finished products to third parties grew by 1% qoq, due mainly to higher pig iron sales. Sales of finished products increased by 1% qoq to 2.7 m t (flat yoy) amid stable final demand in key markets.
· Sales in "home" markets totalled 2.8 m t (flat qoq and yoy).
· Sales in export markets grew by 2% qoq to 1.4 m t.
9M 2021 highlights:
· Steel output increased by 8% yoy to 12.9 m t as equipment ramped up to full capacity after upgrades at NLMK BF and BOF operations, and following output growth at NLMK Russia Long Products and NLMK USA.
· Sales totalled 12.4 m t (-7% yoy) amid resumed intragroup slab supplies from NLMK Lipetsk to NLMK USA (0.9 m t).
· Sales in "home" markets grew by 2% yoy to 8.3 m t, due mainly to increased demand on the US market (+23% yoy).
· Sales in export markets decreased by 23% yoy to 4.0 m t due to the high base of last year, when supplies were redistributed in favour of exports due to weak demand in Russia during lockdown limitations.
* Hereinafter, Q3 2021 and 9M 2021 output and sales figures are preliminary and can be updated. Hereinafter, NLMK Group steel output and sales on "home" markets are shown taking into account NBH performance. Product sales are shown without taking into account NBH performance. Sales to NLMK Group's "home" markets are understood to be sales by NLMK Group companies in the regions where the products are produced in Russia, the EU, and the US.

NLMK Group's Q3 2021 operating performance |
|
Steel output decreased by 15% qoq (+1% yoy) to 3.9 m t due to the incident in the steelmaking production oxygen supply infrastructure at the Lipetsk site in August and the subsequent repair works. Sales were down to 4.1 m t (-4% qoq; -7% yoy) as slab supplies to NBH and to external markets decreased amid steel output reduction. Sales mix: the share of semi-finished products in sales was 34% (-3 p.p. qoq; -4 p.p. yoy) amid lower supplies of slabs and billets to third parties. Export supplies of square billet went down amid a reduction in the product's profitability due to the export tariffs on steel introduced in Russia from August to December 2021. Sales of finished products stood at 2.7 m t (+1% qoq, flat yoy, Appendix 2). Sales in "home" markets reached 2.8 m t (flat qoq and yoy). Amid high final demand, sales in the US grew by +17% qoq (+60% yoy). In the EU, sales increased by 7% qoq (-12% yoy). In Russia, sales went down by 7% qoq (-9% yoy) due to a slowdown of final demand and buyer activity of traders in anticipation of further price reduction (Appendix 14). Sales in export markets grew by 2% qoq to 1.4 m t. The 21% yoy decrease was due to the high base of Q3 2020, when supplies were being made to non-traditional export destinations, such as China. |
|
NLMK Group's 9M 2021 operating performance |
|
Steel output increased to 12.9 m t (8% yoy) as upgrades were completed at NLMK BF and BOF operations, and following output growth at NLMK Russia Long Products and NLMK USA. Sales totalled 12.4 m t (-7% yoy) as intragroup slab supplies to NLMK USA were renewed (+0.9 m t yoy) amid a strong demand in the region (production was carried out with slabs from external suppliers last year) and lower pig iron output due to BF repairs in Q1-3. Sales mix: sales of semi-finished products to third parties decreased by 21% yoy following an increase in slab supplies to NLMK USA and NLMK DanSteel. Slab shipments to NBH totalled 1.2 m t (-23% yoy) due to the La Louvière Hot Strip Mill upgrade in H1 2021. Sales of finished products increased by 3% yoy to 8.2 m t (Appendix 2). Sales in "home" markets increased by 2% yoy to 8.3 m t amid increased steel consumption in Russia and the US (Appendix 14). Sales in export markets decreased by 23% yoy to 4.0 m t due to the high base of Q3 2020, when supplies were redirected to export markets.

Global prices in Q3 2021 |
|
Average raw material prices: · In Q3 2021 coking coal prices continued to grow amid a continued ban on Australian coal imports in China and limited demand. Export prices in Australia grew by 88% qoq (+121% yoy) due to higher demand in India, Europe, Japan, and South America. Coal import prices in China reached a 10-year high of $585/t in September. On average, prices grew by 53% qoq (+212% yoy). China experienced a deficit of coking coal due to decreased internal output following the introduction of strict safety control measures for coal assets. An additional factor on the supply side was the drop in supplies from Mongolia due to an increased rate of COVID-19 cases. Coal prices in Russia increased by 33% qoq (+156% yoy) following global benchmarks. · Iron ore prices decreased by 14% qoq (+44% yoy). The turnaround in prices was triggered by lower demand in China. The main reason for the decrease in iron ore consumption was the slowdown of economic growth in China and state measures for steel output restriction in H2 2021. The price decrease was further spurred by stronger ore supply from Australia at the end of the quarter. · Scrap prices in the USA and the EU went down by 3% qoq (+62% yoy) amid a decrease of demand in Turkey and a reduction in iron ore prices. In turn, high long product prices in the US provided support. Scrap prices in Russia were down by 4% qoq (+57% yoy), following prices in Turkey.
Average steel product prices: · Internal steel product prices on key markets demonstrated a positive trend in Q3 2021. The US became the growth leader, with a continued deficit of steel in the region. Steel export prices in Russia went down as demand in the EU and Turkey slowed down. · In Russia, dollar-denominated prices for uncoated flat products grew by 2% qoq (+125% yoy), while rebar prices increased by 9% qoq (+94% yoy). · Slab export prices (FOB Black Sea) went down by 9% qoq (+89% yoy) as demand decreased on the EU and Turkish markets. · Average flat product prices in the USA increased by 23% qoq (+247% yoy). Hot-rolled steel prices hit an all-time high, reaching $2,160/t in September. · Dollar-denominated prices for flat products in the EU increased by 8% qoq (+162% yoy).

Steel output decreased by 19% qoq (flat yoy) to 2.9 m t due to the incident in the steelmaking infrastructure at NLMK in August (Appendix 9). Sales decreased by 15% qoq to 3.0 m t (-9% yoy) due to a 33% qoq reduction of slab shipments to export markets caused by a temporary steel output decrease (Appendix 2). Sales mix: Sales of semis to third parties increased by 5% yoy to 1.1 m t, due mainly to sales growth in export markets. Slab sales to the Group companies and to NBH went down by 53% qoq to 0.5 m t. Year-on-year, intragroup slab sales increased by 30% due to the recovery of slab shipments to NLMK USA since Q1 2021 and higher shipments to NLMK DanSteel. Finished rolled product shipments stood at 1.4 m t (flat qoq; -13% yoy) as final demand in machine building and construction sectors in Russia normalized, and as traders reduced their stocks expecting a further steel price downturn (Appendix 3). Sales markets: Shipments in Russia declined by 9 % qoq to 1.1 m t (Appendix 3). Exports decreased by 19% qoq to 1.8 m t (-9% yoy) amid lower slab shipments due to the decrease in production that was partially offset by the growth of pig iron and hot-rolled steel sales. |
|
9M 2021 performance |
|
Steel output grew by 5% yoy to 9.8 m t following the completion of the reconstruction at NLMK Lipetsk steelmaking operations in Q1-Q3 2020 and at NLMK Lipetsk BF operations in H2 2020 (Appendix 9). Sales of the Segment decreased by 7% to 9.5 m t due to a number of factors: · Lower pig iron output due to repairs at BF operations in Q1-Q3 2021, and due to the incident in the steelmaking infrastructure at NLMK in August. · Longer average slab lead time following the recovery of slab shipments to NLMK USA. · Scheduled maintenance of the hot rolling and cold rolling mills in Q2 2021 caused a decrease in hot- and cold-rolled steel sales (Appendix 2). Sales structure: sales of finished rolled products decreased by 8% yoy to 4.2 m t due to planned repairs of hot and cold rolling mills in H1 2021. Sales of semi-finished products to third parties went down by 25% yoy to 2.7 m t, due mainly to an increase in intragroup slab shipments in Q1-Q2 2021. Sales of semi-finished products to the Group sites and to NBH grew by 30% yoy to 2.6 m t due to increased slab shipments to the USA (Appendix 3). Sales markets: shipments in Russia decreased by 4% yoy to 3.6 m t due to the decrease in sales of hot-rolled and coated steel due to scheduled hot rolling mill and HDGL repairs in Q1-Q2 2021 (Appendix 3). Exports decreased by 8% yoy to 5.9 m t due to the high base of Q3 2020, when sales were redistributed in favour of exports due to weak demand in Russia during lockdown restrictions.

Sales in Russia decreased by 2% qoq to 0.6 m t (+1% yoy) due to a slowdown in the construction sector towards the end of the quarter backed by anticipations of further price decrease. Sales in Russia accounted for 74% (+5 p.p. qoq; +6 p.p. yoy). Scrap: scrap sales went down by 12% qoq to 1.4 m t (-1% yoy) due to the decrease in output at the Lipetsk site and lower production of square billet at NLMK Kaluga. Group companies accounted for 98% of scrap sales (Appendix 4). |
|
9M 2021 performance |
|
Steel output increased by 16% yoy to 2.4 m t due to the low base effect: last year the production programme was reduced as demand dropped during the pandemic.
