Acerinox released a solid set of numbers for Q1 22 These were supported by healthy demand and very strong prices, while the Alloys segment is slowly recovering Net debt is only increasing due to the working capital build-up Despite the fact we will revise our (too conservative) forecasts upwards, we may not change our target price materially

The FY21 numbers came in well in line with the street’s and company’s guidance. The pricing situation has remained good in Q4 and going into FY22 despite the less positive comments on costs (energy and freight), of course if the geopolitical context does not worsen. Net debt is under control. This comes despite a €460m increase in working capital and allows for a significant return to shareholders. No big change to our numbers to be expected after this release.
The nine months results came in above expectations. This was true for both the Stainless Steel and High-Performance Alloys divisions. The outlook released by the group is very supportive for Q4 21 and possibly Q1 22. We will revise our numbers upwards.
The Q1 21 results were excellent with the positive trend witnessed since H2 20 continuing in Q2 The final demand and the rebuilding of inventories explain this strong upward trend Anti-dumping measures, in both the US and Europe, supported this trend Margins (13% at EBITDA level in Q2, 14% in Stainless) not seen since 2006 The outlook (at least for Q3) is very supportive Despite the lack of visibility after Q3, we will upgrade forecasts and target price
Q1 results came in above expectations The stainless steel segment was very supportive The Alloys segment was still underperforming despite an improving order-book The group’s margins were close to historical highs We will fine-tune our numbers after this positive release
FY20 results came in above expectations The integration of VDM seems to be going alright The outlook for Q1 21 is rather promising We will upgrade our numbers and target price
Q320 again showed the resilience of the group However, High Performance Alloys remained weak Q4 set to be of the same vein as Q3 No major changes to our numbers

H1 20 results were almost stable on last year’s Even if the group benefits from the first consolidation of VDM, the group’s performance was very good in Q2 given the context The outlook calls for a stable situation vs Q2 The group seems on track to reach our numbers for the current year
FY19 numbers were in line with impairments, inventory write-downs and exceptional items leading to lower than expected net results Net debt is well under control, a good piece of news ahead of the VDM acquisition The latter will be the main earnings growth driver in the short term, we believe The outlook looks decent, with no real comment so far on the Coronavirus outbreak
Q3 19 came in line and was in fact slightly higher than the group’s own guidance. Margins thus remained rather healthy given the context, showing the efforts made on the cost side. Cash flow was pleasing and deleveraging is still on the cards. Europe was still suffering (imports and economic slowdown) but the US was supportive. Q4 should be similar to Q3, while visibility is low on 2020. We will marginally adjust our numbers to the downside.
H1 19 were decent, with an (expected) improvement in Q2 vs Q1 Demand is still strong in the US, while Europe is still weakish No big changes in operating conditions to be expected in Q3 We will fine-tune our numbers to the downside
- Q1 19 OK, at lower levels than last year - The full impact of EU measures not felt yet on the P&L - Inventories in the US and Europe said to be “normalising” - A reasonable level of optimism from management - Probably no major change to our numbers/valuation
Acerinox released FY18 results. Sales reached €5,011m (+8.3%), EBITDA €480m (-1.8%), EBIT €312m (-1.8%), and the net result €237m (+1.3%). Net debt at the end of FY18 was €552m vs. €609m in FY17 and €620m a year earlier. A dividend of €0.50 will be proposed (vs. 0.45). In terms of outlook, the group expects Q1 EBITDA to be better than Q4 (when it reached €58m), indicating that safeguard measures in Europe are working properly and imports have fallen in January. That said, a real improvement in t
Q3 18 results. Net sales reached €1,284m (+20.3% yoy), EBITDA €154m (vs €53m) EBIT €112m (vs €12.7m) and the net result €83m (vs €6.6m). Net debt at the end of Q3 18 totaled €666m vs €537m in Q2 and €609m at the end of FY17. According to the group, macroeconomic uncertainties and a decline in raw material prices will lead to a decline in activity for Q4.
Acerinox released H1 18 results. Net sales reached €2,588m (+5.9% yoy), EBITDA €317m (-15.4%), EBIT €227m (-19.1%) and the net result €138m (-8.4%). Net debt at the end of H1 18 totalled €537m vs €667m in Q1, €609m at the end of FY17 and €600m a year ago. According to the group, Q2 will reflect “the high demand existing in all the markets, encouraged by the rises in nickel and ferrochrome prices”. Despite the world situation described as “complex”, the strength in the US market should enable t

Arc has recently signed an agreement with Anglo American (LSE:AAL, Market Cap $45bn) on a JV for its highly prospective Zambian licences (subject to final due diligence). The deal sees (3) main staged payments of up to $74m in the ground and $14.5m to Arc (by end of stage 1) and significantly leaving Arc with a 30% stake in the project. On a detailed reflection over the deal we want to reiterate how positive we see this is for Arc: i) Arc could never have raised this sort of capital to bring exp

Last week Tamesis visited a number of Tharisa PLC's assets including the Tharisa Mine and Arxo Metals Beneficiation Site (AMBS) in South Africa and the Karo Platinum Project in Zimbabwe. Overall it was an extremely well received trip with evidence of efficiency improvements at the Tharisa mine, unexpected cash generation from the Vulcan Plant, further cash from the Salene Chrome Plant and, it also impressed on us that the Zimbabwe risk to the build out of Karo is lower than the market perhaps th

Chariot has conditionally raised gross proceeds of US$25.5m (before costs), providing the Company with sufficient funds to advance the Anchois Gas Development towards a Final Investment Decision (FID) and to progress its renewable power pipeline. The placing was significantly oversubscribed, highlighting the market's confidence in Chariot's business model and its management team. We maintain our price target at 51p, with the recent rise in the European gas price forward curve offsetting the dilu

ARC has announced it has signed a JV agreement with Anglo American (LSE:AAL, Market Cap $45bn) over its Zambian licences. This has long been in the offing and we view the terms as advantageous to Arc and a validation of the prospectivity that it (and we) see in its licences. The headline JV payments are staged but could ultimately lead to Anglo owning 70% of the licences, by investing $74m in exploration and paying Arc $14.5m. The licences will be held under a JV which will have an initial ow
