Ternium Announces Highest Ever EBIDTA for 2021

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
17 Feb, 2022, 5:23 am

Luxembourg headquartered Ternium SA has announced highest ever EBITDA of USD 5.9 billion on steel shipments of 12.1 million tonnes in 2021, with EBITDA margin of 36% and EBITDA per ton of USD 485. Revenue per tonne reached USD 1,309 in 2021, the highest on record, increasing USD 561 compared to revenue per tonne in 2020, on higher steel prices in all of Ternium's markets. Operating income amounted to USD 5.3 billion in 2021 & net income was USD 4.4 billion.

Ternium’s steel shipments in 2021 were 12.1 million tonnes, up 705,000 tonnes compared to shipment levels in 2020 reflecting the ramp-up of Ternium's new facilities in Colombia and Mexico, and a recovery from the impact of the COV1D-19 outbreak on economic activity and steel demand in 2020. Shipments in Mexico increased 11% year-over-year in 2021, mainly due to higher activity levels in the export-led industrial sector. In the Southern Region, shipments increased 30% year-over-year in 2021 on higher durable goods consumption and increased activity in the construction sector. In the Other Markets region, shipments decreased 14% year-over-year, reflecting lower slab shipments to third parties partially offset by higher finished steel shipments.

Outlook - Following an outstanding 2021, during which Ternium achieved record profitability and successfully completed its capacity expansion program, the company expects to deliver solid performance in 2022, despite a business environment with gradually normalizing steel prices and margins, supported by the ongoing ramp-up of the new hot-rolling mill in its Pcsqucria facility. In the USMCA region, supply chain disruptions continue to affect several manufacturing industries’ input procurement. For the automotive industry specifically, ongoing semiconductor scarcity is causing low unit inventory levels and significant pent-up demand. During 2022, Ternium anticipates this situation to gradually adjust and drive increased apparent steel demand in the region that, coupled with a decrease in steel imports, should cause declining steel prices to stabilize during the first half of the year. In Argentina, shipments remained at relatively stable levels during 2021, and the company expects this to continue in the first quarter, driven by healthy activity in the construction, agribusiness and automotive industries. The outlook for the Argentine market in 2022, however, remains significantly uncertain, given the unstable macroeconomic variables that persist in the country. Ternium expects a sequential decrease in EBITDA in the first quarter of 2022, primarily resulting from lower margins, partially offset by higher shipments in the USMCA region.Luxembourg headquartered Ternium SA has announced highest ever EBITDA of USD 5.9 billion on steel shipments of 12.1 million tonnes.

Beltrame Plans to Transform COS Targoviste in Romania

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
17 Feb, 2022, 5:41 am

Romania Insider reported that Italian group Beltrame pledged to invest EUR 100 million in Targoviste Romania based Special Steel Plant COS Targoviste, which it is close to taking over, and invest EUR 300 million in a new plant for the construction of 600KT per annum rebar and rolled wire to transform the COS Targoviste plant into a competitive special steel production unit at European level. Carlo Beltrame "We have included COS Targoviste in our investment plans as it is a steel plant with a rich history and a lot of experience in the steel industry, and the products that can be produced here are complementary to the steel bars we already produce in Donalam Calarasi. We will create a synergy with the rolling mill we own in Calarasi and the Targoviste mill will return to the production of special steels for which it was originally built. We will start production in the existing steel mill and the two rolling mills as soon as possible. At first, we will produce rebar, even if the plant cannot be competitive for this product, and later we will produce special steel, as the latter is more difficult to produce and requires more time to train the workforce. I am sure that in a couple of years we will have the same range of steels that we have now at Donalam.”

Present on the Romanian steel market since 2007, where it owns the rolling mill in Calarasi through its subsidiary Donalam, AFV Beltrame Group wants to expand its activity in Romania by acquiring and reopening the steel production unit owned by COS Targovi?te SA, a company currently under judicial reorganization, pending the resolution of the appeal against the Court’s decision to declare bankruptcy. Beltrame Group has received authorization from the Competition Council for the acquisition of the functional production assets of the Special Steel Plant in Targoviste. The value of the transaction amounts to EUR 38.3 million Euro. The deal still depends on COS completing the insolvency procedures. Other bidders interested in COS’ assets also challenged the outcome of the tender, and their claim must be settled before finalizing the deal.

COS was owned by the Russian group Mechel, but the majority stake was taken over in 2013 by the offshore Mazur Investments Ltd in Cyprus, which has 86% of the capital. The Romanian state holds 4%. The plant has been in insolvency proceedings since February 2013 and is one of the main producers of billets and steel products in Romania.

WSM Seeks Support for German Steel & Metal Processing Industries

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
17 Feb, 2022, 5:43 am

Wirtschaftsverband Stahl- und Metallverarbeitu, WSM, has assesses the economic situation in light of the latest preliminary figures from the German Federal Statistical Office and summarized that “Medium-sized industries see a glimmer of light on the horizon. But not more, the costs are too much of a burden” and is calling for political support for steel and metal processing companies as they can no longer cope with the current additional burdens.

The German steel and metal processing industries show a plus of 10.4 percent in production growth for 2021 compared to 2020, but also a minus of 3.5 percent compared to the pre-crisis year. Whether the shaken automotive suppliers in particular will soon be able to make up further ground is, in addition to overcoming supply bottlenecks, a cost issue: rising material, energy and logistics burdens as well as growing climate protection requirements are slowing down the recovery process. "We urgently need political support here in order to maintain the international competitiveness of the manufacturing sectors and their jobs," therefore demands the WSM.

In 2021, material bottlenecks in particular halted production growth, according to the WSM, the order situation and capacity utilization would otherwise have enabled a larger increase. Whether, when and how supply chains will ease in 2022 is still unclear, but automakers are cautiously optimistic about the second half of the year. This glimmer of light raises their suppliers' forecast for the next six months by four percent. According to WSM, if material and parts supplies stabilize, production growth of around seven percent could even be achievable for 2022 as a whole.

However, the ray of light on the horizon will lose its shine if politicians fail the companies. This is because new clouds have long since appeared in the supplier sky: extremely rising input material, energy and logistics costs on the one hand and the demand for a rapid transformation to CO2-neutral production on the other. Even if the economy develops positively, these additional burdens will become an obstacle for the mostly medium-sized companies without political help.

WSM represents the economic policy interests of the industry and is one of the largest business associations in Germany. WSM is a member of Federation of German Industries BDI and at ORGALIME, the European association of metal processing and mechanical engineering.

Work to improve energy efficiency continued in 2021 in all divisions of the PJSC MMK Group & the total planned economic effect from the implementation of programs to reduce energy consumption amounted to about half a billion rubles. In September 2021, PJSC MMK successfully passed the second supervisory examination of the company's energy management system for compliance with the requirements of the international standard ISO 50001:2018 with confirmation of the TÜV International Certification of Germany. Based on the results of the supervisory review, PJSC MMK's energy management system was recognized as effective and fully compliant with the requirements of the international standard.

Among the important areas for improving the energy efficiency of production processes in the MMK Group is the development and implementation of relevant rationalization proposals. In total, in 2021, 787 energy-efficient ideas were submitted through the Energy Management Platform special application, of which 301 ideas were implemented with a planned annual economic effect of 209 million rubles from the implementation. In addition, 5 low-budget high-performance projects, baby-capex, were implemented last year, the planned effect of which is a total of 249 million rubles.

Also in 2021, the fulfillment of obligations under contracts for the provision of energy services under the project of an automated complex for controlling the drives of smoke exhausters of the converter gas utilization system of the oxygen-converter shop (the effect for the year is 20.4 million rubles), the project to replace the ceiling lighting of the steam-blowing power plant (the effect is 2.7 million rubles) and the project to replace the ceiling lighting of the power plant (effect - 1.5 million rubles).

Since July 2021, the Evolution business system has been put into commercial operation, created to form, analyze and select priority proposals, justify investments for their implementation, ensure a unified approach to calculating economic efficiency and other optimized indicators. The system visually presents the results achieved within the framework of the implementation of both individual proposals and portfolios formed from them.

As part of the implementation of the Evolution business system, an interface was developed for transferring data on various types of proposals from the PEM idea support unit for further processing and analysis of information. Data on the planned costs, effect, and description of the basic principles on which the proposal is supposed to be implemented are transmitted to the Evolution BS.
