Comment from NLMK Group acting CFO Sergey Karataev:

“In Q1 2017, NLMK Group was able to grow sales in the EU and US markets against a backdrop of higher internal demand; and to expand export deliveries of flats, offsetting the seasonal weakening in demand in Russia.

“Group’s capacity utilization gained +1 p.p. to 96%; sales climbed by 1% qoq to 3.7 m t.

“Stable sales and the uptick in prices for steel products supported by high prices for raw materials pushed revenue up by 10% qoq to $2.16 bn.

“EBITDA grew by $100 m to $618 m, $57 m attributable to gains from operational efficiency efforts and capex projects vs. the 2016 level. EBITDA margin expanded by 3 p.p. to 29%.

“Profitability growth and moderate capex in Q1 supported a 14% qoq increase in free cash flow to $208 m.

“Debt leverage is at a comfortable level, Net debt/EBITDA at a stable 0.4õ.”
