Klöckner & Co SE reorganizes Management Board & Strengthens Country Organizations Klöckner & Co SE has reorganized its management team. The Supervisory Board appointed Dr Oliver Falk and John Ganem to the Management Board effective August 1, 2019. Jens Wegmann, who has been a member of the Management Board of Klöckner & Co SE since December 1, 2017, will leave Klöckner & Co SE in agreement with the Company as of July 31, 2019. His responsibilities as COO will be assumed by John Ganem in the US and by Gisbert Rühl, CEO of the Company, in Europe. The Supervisory Board thanks Jens Wegmann for his commitment and wishes him all the best for the future. Dr. Oliver Falk takes over the function of CFO, which was temporarily assumed by the CEO, Gisbert Rühl. The Group Management Board of Klöckner & Co SE will thus consist of Gisbert Rühl, Chairman of the Management Board and CEO Europe, Dr. Oliver Falk, CFO, and John Ganem CEO Americas. Dr. Oliver Falk has been successfully active in leading positions in the Group for more than 25 years and is currently CFO of Kloeckner Metals Europe GmbH. As CEO of the US subsidiary Kloeckner Metals Corporation, John Ganem has been making a significant contribution to the company's success in the USA for several years. In the course of the realignment of the Management Board, a further decentralization of activities was decided. With this step, the Company intends to take even greater account of the different structures in the countries in terms of organization and thus promote even more independent and entrepreneurial action in the Group companies. In return, this leads to a reduction in responsibilities at the level of the Group holding Company. In the future, the Group holding will focus on core functions and the design and control of the digitization strategy. Source : Strategic Research Institute
Latin American Steel Industry Numbers Down on Mexico Issues – Alacero Latin American steel association Alacero announced that the performance of the Latin American steel industry has been undermined by external and internal factors, from commercial tensions to the activity of key nations in the region. One of the factors that most influences internally the results, is the difficulty of Mexico, the second largest economy in Latin America, to maintain its commercial volume and the dependence on fluctuations in trade agreements. It said As discussed in the previous months, Mexico has contributed negatively to the losses in both trande and steel production in relation to other countries in LA, and its participation in the cumulative deficit of consumption of crude and rolled steel is even older. As a reflect of a market loss, the country represents more than half of the deficit in consumption of crude and rolled steel in Latin America.” Region's steel market during January-May 2019 presented a 2% drop in the consumption of rolled steel compared to January-May 2018. Regional production of crude and rolled steel until June fell 4% and 7%, respectively, versus January-June 2018. However, although there is an accumulated deficit of 1.8 million tonnes in the rolled steel production compared to the first half of 2018, the month of June is highlighted as the least productive since February 2019. Therefore, the expectations of apparent consumption by the end of this year, which had been estimated around 70 million tonnes last March, will not exceed 68 million tonnes in the most positive scenario. The region increased its imports 1.2% between April and May 2019, identifying 0.1% increase compared to January-May 2018. The share of imports in regional consumption remained at 37% for the third consecutive month, as opposed to 36% in January-May 2018. This confirms the dependence of consumption on imported rolled steel, due to falls in cumulative production and apparent consumption. The deficit recorded in January-May 2019 was 6.0 million tonnes, with 232 thousand tonnes more than January-May of the previous year (5.8 million tonnes). Crude steel - Latin America had a 5 million tonnes crude steel production in June, 8% lower than that recorded in the same period of 2018 (5.5 million tonnes). Considering the accumulated in 2019, there were produced 31.3, 4% less than January-June 2018 (27.1 million tonnes). A smaller deficit compared to the accumulated of the first five months, which showed a 5% drop. But the value identified in June was 4% lower than the January-May average. In the year, Brazil is the main producer with 17.2 million tonnes, followed by Mexico with 9.5 million tonnes, representing respectively 55% and 30% of the annual regional total. Highlighting that the accumulated deficit in the production of crude steel in Mexico was 946 thousand tonnes (-9%), making up 73% of the regional deficit (1.3 million tonnes). Of the 4% fall recorded for Latin America, 3% is composed of Mexican casualties. Rolled steel - The region produced 4.1 million tonnes of rolled steel in June, 8% less than the same period of 2018 (4.5 million tonnes). In the year there was 25.6 million tonnes, representing a 7% drop compared to the first 6 months of 2018 (27.4 million tonnes). To remember, the comparative accumulated in the previous report pointed to the 8% drop. The main producers in the year are Brazil with 11.6 million tonnes (45% of the Latin American total) and Mexico with 8.7 million tonnes (34% of the Latin American total). Of the 1.8 million tonnes accumulated deficit, 68% are represented by the Mexican results (1.3 million tonnes). Of the 7% regional decline, 5% was driven by Mexican casualties. In the previous report, Mexico's participation in the deficit was 52%. Imports - 2.07 million tonnes of rolled steel were imported in May, 8% less than May 2018 (2.25 million tonnes). In the accumulated January-May 2019, Latin America imported 10.0 million tonnes of rolled steel, 0.1% more than what was imported in the same period of 2018 (9.98 million tonnes). Of this total, 70% correspond to flat products (7.0 million tonnes), 27% to long products (2.7 million tonnes) and 3% to seamless tubes (283 thousand tonnes). In May, rolled steel imports accounted for 37% of the region's consumption, the same percentage of April 2019, which points to a lack of incentives for the local industry, commercial friction and puts the sources of employment at risk. Exports - 773 thousand tonnes of rolled steel were exported in May, 7% less than in April 2019 (829 thousand tonnes) and 9% less than May 2018 (848 thousand tonnes). In the accumulated January-May Latin American exports of rolled steel totaled 4.0 million tonnes, 5% less than that recorded in January-May 2018 (4.2 million tonnes). Of this total, 49% correspond to long products (2.0 million tonnes), 40% to flat products (1.6 million tonnes) and 11% to seamless tubes (415 thousand tonnes) - a slope below the 2018 curves , with further falls after the April recovery.

Ternium Expects EBITDA to Decrease in Q3 of 2019 Ternium expects EBITDA to decrease in the third quarter 2019 compared to the second quarter 2019 due to a steel margin that will be below historical long term trends and lower shipments. The main factor affecting the company’s EBITDA in the third quarter of the year will be sequentially lower shipments of slabs to third parties with low margins. The company anticipates steel shipments in Mexico to gradually recover during the second half 2019, reaching higher levels than those reported for the second half 2018. In addition, Ternium expects realized steel prices in Mexico to decrease, as the lagged reset of contract prices for industrial customers during the third quarter 2019 will reflect the steel price downturn during the second quarter 2019. This should be partially offset by the recent rebound of prices on sales to the commercial markets. In Argentina, Ternium anticipates an additional sequential increase in steel shipments in the third quarter 2019 due to an improvement in the domestic steel market.

Metalloinvest Announces Operational Results for Q2 2019 Metalloinvest announced its operational results for the second quarter of 2019. Andrey Varichev, CEO of Management Company Metalloinvest, said “In line with our strategy to increase the share of high value-added products in the output, in Q2 2019 the Company increased pellet production and shipments by 6% and 7%, respectively, compared to the previous quarter. As a result, the share of HVA iron ore products, comprising pellets and HBI/DRI, increased to 75% of our total iron ore product shipments. At the same time, sales of iron ore products to Asia significantly increased in Q2 2019 and reached 16% of total iron ore product shipments, rising from 11% in Q1 2019. The share of HVA products in steel shipments continues to gradually increase and was recorded at 46%, with the main market being domestic customers.” In Q2 2019, iron ore production remained almost flat as compared to Q2 2018 (-0.6% YoY) and amounted to 10.1 million tonnes. At the same time, the growth in production volumes by 4.8% QoQ was driven by an increase in productivity due to the processing of higher quality ore and the completion of scheduled maintenance works In Q2 2019, pellet production increased by 3.9% YoY and 5.7% QoQ and amounted to 7.2 million tonnes. The growth in pellet production was due the completion of scheduled maintenance works, as well as an increase in productivity due to a change in the pellet product mix HBI/DRI production remained flat QoQ (2.0 million tonnes) and was 1.6% higher YoY mainly due an increase in productivity of the Company’s HBI plants In Q2 2019, the total volume of iron ore product shipments to third parties remained flat QoQ and amounted to 6.2 million tonnes HVA iron ore product (pellets and HBI/DRI) shipments increased to 75% of the total amount of iron ore product shipments in Q2 2019, compared with 74% in Q1 2019 and 72% in Q2 2018 In Q2 2019, the share of iron ore product shipments to the domestic market amounted to 53%, compared with 57% in Q1 2019 and 67% in Q2 2018 The Company increased the volume of export supplies during the reporting period by 9.7% QoQ and 35.8% YoY mainly due to the increase in supplies to Asia (the share of shipments to Asia comprised 16% in Q2 2019, compared with 11% in Q1 2019 and 1% in Q2 2018) In Q2 2019, the output of hot metal remained almost flat QoQ (+0.9%) and amounted to 0.7 million tonnes. The Company decreased hot metal production by 7.2% YoY as a result of maintenance and repair works at Ural Steel in Q2 2019 Crude steel production increased in Q2 2019 by 5.1% QoQ to 1.2 million tonnes. This growth was largely a result of plant reconstruction and hot tests of FMF at Ural Steel in Q1 2019. Crude steel output was decreased by 1.1% TYoY due to the development of FMF steel production technology In Q2 2019, pig iron shipments to third parties decreased to 0.4 million tonnes compared with 0.5 million tonnes in Q1 2019, partly owing to the growth of internal consumption for steel production The share of HVA steel product shipments amounted to 46.0% in Q2 2019, compared with 45.5% in Q1 2019 and 44.6% in Q2 2018 In Q2 2019, pig iron and steel product shipments was partially reoriented to the Russian market (its share increased to 34%, compared with 29% in Q1 2019 and 28% in Q2 2018), mainly due to an increase in shipments to ChelPipe. Thus, export shipments of pig iron and steel product in Q2 2019 decreased by 12.6% q-o-q and 16.7% YoY. Source : Strategic Research Institute

ArcelorMittal (MT) CEO Lakshmi Mittal on Q2 2019 Results - Earnings Call Transcript Aug. 1, 2019 3:13 PM ET | About: ArcelorMittal (MT) Subscribers Only Earning Call Audio ArcelorMittal (NYSE:MT) Q2 2019 Results Conference Call August 1, 2019 9:30 AM ET Company Participants Daniel Fairclough - VP, Corporate Finance and Head of IR Lakshmi Mittal - Chairman and CEO Aditya Mittal - CFO and President Simon Wandke - CEO, Mining Business Genuino Christino - Head of Finance Conference Call Participants Alain Gabriel - Morgan Stanley Ioannis Masvoulas - Macquarie Cedar Ekblom - Merrill Lynch Luke Nelson - JPMorgan Myles Allsop - UBS Rochus Brauneiser - Kepler Phil Gibbs - KeyBanc Sergey Golosinskiy - SocGen Bastian Synagowitz - Deutsche Bank Operator Daniel you may go ahead now. Daniel Fairclough Thank you very much. Hi. Good afternoon and good morning everybody and welcome to ArcelorMittal's Half Year 2019 Investor and Analyst Call. This is Daniel Fairclough from ArcelorMittal Investor Relations. I’d like to remind everybody first of all that as usual this call is being recorded. Hopefully everybody has had the chance to review our earnings statements, the Q&A document and the presentation with the detailed speaker notes, which were all published on our Web site this morning. So the idea then of this call is not to present these slides but rather move directly to your questions. That way the whole call should last around 45 minutes [Operator Instructions]. So with that brief opening I will hand over to Mr. Mittal. Lakshmi Mittal Thank you. Good day, everyone and can I add my welcome to this call. I am joined today by Aditya Mittal, President and CFO; Simon Wandke, CEO of Mining; Genuino, our Head of Finance and Daniel, Head of IR. Before we move to Q&A, I would like to make some brief introductory remarks. As always I will start by commenting on our health and safety performance, excluding ArcelorMittal Italia, our loss time injury frequency rate for the first half of the year was 0.66 times, a small improvement on the rate achieved in 2018 which was a record low. Including ArcelorMittal Italia the rate was 1.19 times. This highlights one of the challenges we have in Italy although I would note that its rate have improved over from over 20 times when we assumed control to 12.35 times in the first half of the year. We are focused on further improving its health and safety performance as quickly as possible and bringing it closer in line with our European average. Before I move to our financial performance, I would like to set some context in terms of the current market environment. The steel industry is inherently cyclical. Market conditions were buoyant for the majority of 2018. However, since October last year we’ve seen a severe market downturn, the speed and extent of which has been surprising and the usual correlation between Chinese and international steel spreads has broken down. While Chinese spreads remain within their usual historical range these spreads in our core markets today have fallen to very low levels and are well below historical norms. As a result our first half EBITDA of $3.2 billion is lower than the corresponding period last year. I would note however, the performance of our mining business which has contributed almost a $1 billion of EBITDA highlighting the benefits of diversification. As you may recall just over three years ago we launched our Action 2020 strategic plan. The purpose of which was to ensure we delivered positive free cash flow in any market environment. It is therefore encouraging that despite the highly challenging market and the drag on our business from ArcelorMittal Italia we still generated free cash flow of $900 million in the second quarter. This has enabled us to achieve further deleveraging progress and take a net debt down to our lower ever level. Our focus on further debt reduction continues and our full year free cash flow performance will be supported by a material working capital released in the second half of the year. 9 bladzijden, met audio fragment:seekingalpha.com/article/4280338-arce...

Agenzia Giornalistica Italia (G.transl.) De criminele immuniteit heropent de botsing tussen ArcelorMittal en de overheid Volgens de ijzer- en staalreus die de voormalige Ilva overnam, zou de uitvoerende macht klaar zijn om een norm te herstellen "zonder welke we niet kunnen werken". De criminele immuniteit in verband met de uitvoering van het milieuplan van de staalfabriek van Taranto is opnieuw het strijdtoneel tussen ArcelorMittal, dat sinds november de buitengewone administratie van Ilva overnam, en het ministerie van Economische Ontwikkeling. De financieel directeur van de staalreus, Aditya Mittal, beweert dat de regering werkt aan een wet om de immuniteit te herstellen, maar de vice-premier Luigi Di Maio ontkent duidelijk: het is vals. De controverse komt na de inbeslagname van de hoogoven 2 en de afwijzing, door de rechter, van het geval van Ilva in buitengewone administratie die vroeg om het recht van gebruik voor de plant om het werk van de beveiliging te doen. Aditya Mittal stelt in de conference call over de halfjaarrekeningen dat "zonder immuniteit het heel moeilijk is om" voor elke operator in Taranto te blijven werken ". Maar het zorgt er ook voor dat de Frans-Indiase groep "samenwerkt met de regering en dat de uitvoerende macht erg constructief is": er wordt gewerkt "om nieuwe wetten of nieuwe wetgeving goed te keuren die de immuniteit die we hadden herstelt. De wetten waren niet nog steeds goedgekeurd - zegt Mittal - maar ze gaven ons de indicatie dat ze het voor september zullen doen ". Kort nadat de Mise de verwachtingen van het bedrijf bevriest om snel terug te komen, met een ad-hocbepaling, de immuniteit geïntroduceerd door een wet van 2015 en opgeheven door artikel 46 van de wet op het groeibesluit vanaf 6 september. Bronnen van het ministerie ontkennen "categorisch dat er een onderzoek is om de immuniteit te herstellen. Zoals herhaaldelijk gezegd, willen we exclusief ingrijpen bij de uitvoering van het milieuplan zo snel mogelijk. Er zal nooit een strafschild voor sterfgevallen op het werk zijn en milieurampen. Elke andere verklaring komt niet overeen met de waarheid, "concluderen de bronnen van Mise. En een tweet van Di Maio arriveert die nog moeilijker is: "In Taranto hebben we de criminele immuniteit afgeschaft die de Pd had geïntroduceerd. Het beschermde degenen die dat bedrijf beheren zelfs in het geval van verantwoordelijkheid voor sterfgevallen op het werk of milieurampen. Vandaag heeft iemand gezegd dat de immuniteit terugkomt. Het is vals, "zegt hij. Dan de dupliek: in een notitie vraagt ArcelorMittal "de nodige wettelijke bescherming om zijn eigen milieuplan te kunnen blijven uitvoeren en blijft er vertrouwen in dat er een oplossing zal worden gevonden". de regels veranderen niet tijdens de race, waarschuwt Confindustria Het was half juni dat ArcelorMittal met zijn Europese leiders de 'immuniteit tegen criminele immuniteit opblies. De nieuwe onderdrukkingsregel was in de maak, Di Maio had het al in 24 april in Taranto aangekondigd, en de naderende goedkeuring in het parlement van de groeidll, de leiders van de multinational hadden gezegd dat als immuniteit zou worden gemist, ze zouden zijn vertrokken de Taranto-fabriek vanaf 6 september 2019, dat wil zeggen vanaf de inwerkingtreding van de nieuwe bepaling. ArcelorMittal werd in deze functie ook ondersteund door Federmeccanica, Confindustria en vakbonden van metaalbewerkers, die allemaal overeenkwamen te benadrukken dat de regels tijdens de bouw niet konden worden gewijzigd. En de immuniteit van ArcelorMittal had in feite samen met het bedrijf 'geërfd'. "Het veranderen van de regels in de race is een aantasting van de geloofwaardigheid van het land en ontmoedigt internationale investeerders", zei de industriële leider, Vincenzo Boccia, in Taranto, in ArcelorMittal, bij de gezamenlijke Federmeccanica-Confindustria Taranto-vergadering. Di Maio had de Groep aanvankelijk gerustgesteld. "Ik wil geen oorlog voeren, ik wil niet dat het bedrijf wordt gesloten - zei hij - maar ArcelorMittal weet dat immuniteit een absurd voorrecht is dat we niet kunnen tolereren. Bovendien wordt deze regel waarschijnlijk geannuleerd door het Grondwettelijk Hof in oktober, wanneer het zich op het punt zal uitdrukken ". En nogmaals, zei Di Maio, "ArcelorMittal heeft niets te vrezen als het binnen de voorwaarden blijft, het zal zijn verplichtingen nakomen en het milieuplan uitvoeren op de afgesproken tijden en manieren. Het bedrijf moet niet bang zijn om de schuld te krijgen van de problemen van het verleden". De huidige immuniteitsnorm "steriliseert" de gerechtelijke actie alleen voor de uitvoering van het milieuplan. Met andere woorden, als tijdens de uitvoering van de milieuwerken, die in augustus 2023 worden gesloten, bijvoorbeeld het optreden van rook of stofverspreiding optreedt, kunnen de beheerders van de staalfabriek niet worden beschuldigd. En dit komt omdat dezelfde beheerders, via het milieuplan, precies zijn toegewijd om deze negatieve fenomenen te overwinnen. Er is echter geen strafschild bij ongevallen op het werk, fataal of niet.

Karnataka Small Scale Industries Association Concerned Over Closure of SAIL VISL The Hindu reported that Karnataka Small Scale Industries Association has expressed concern over closure of Steel Authority of India Limited’s Visvesvaraya Iron and Steel Plan in Bhadravathi. KASSIA president Mr R Raju said “We learn from members of Kassia in Shivamogga and the region that the closure of VISL will be a big blow to the industrial development of the region. It is sad to note that the company which was a state undertaking was later transferred to SAIL but unfortunately has not been able to turn the corner. We would, therefore urge the Government to ensure that the VISL is not allowed to be closed as it will jeopardize the livelihood of the employees and their dependents.” Kassia urged the State Government to take steps to infuse capital and other resource that may be required using if necessary private investors to revive the unit and run it successfully. The company is involved in the production of alloy steels and pig iron and has a legacy of having been started by Sri M Visveswaraya. This was one of the first steel mills to be set up anywhere in the country, way back in 1923. The Hinduwww.thehindubusinessline.com/news/nat... Source : Strategic Research Institute

United States Steel Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2019 Results United States Steel Corporation reported second quarter 2019 net earnings of $68 million. Adjusted net earnings were $78 million. This compares to second quarter 2018 net earnings of $214 million. President and Chief Executive Officer David B. Burritt said “Adjusted net earnings for second quarter 2018 were $262 million. Our execution in the second quarter was strong despite challenging market conditions. We overcame logistics headwinds from severe weather and delivered for our customers, exceeding even our own expectations. We also completed several Asset Revitalization outages across the flat-rolled footprint on time and on budget, including upgrades to our Mon Valley steel shop. We expect these investments to enhance operating performance and reliability to provide high quality, low cost liquid steel for our future endless casting and rolling investment. Execution of our technology investments, including the Mon Valley endless casting and rolling line, Tubular electric arc furnace, and USSK Dynamo Line, are on track to deliver almost $400 million of incremental run-rate EBITDA benefits when completed. With each passing quarter, we are making the company more competitive and our continued execution is proof that our strategy is working.” Source : Strategic Research Institute
US Steel Issues WARN Layoff Notice to 200 Workers at Great Lakes Works SP Global reported that US Steel has issued Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification notices to some employees at its Great Lakes Works in Michigan as a result of the company's previously announced operational adjustments at the mil. US Steel spokeswoman Meghan Cox said “The layoff notices were sent to less than 200 employees and will begin taking effect August 4. As we indicated in communications issued June 18, we have made operational adjustments to our global blast furnace footprint to align with current market conditions. As a result, we have issued [WARN] notices in the event of possible future layoffs as a result of our reduced production levels at Great Lakes Works. We are taking this step to inform employees and relevant stakeholders of possible future impacts." In June, US Steel announced the B2 blast furnace at the Great Lakes Works would remain idle after a planned maintenance outage to better align global production with the company's order book. At the time, US Steel said it would also be temporarily idling a blast furnace at its Gary Works in Indiana, as well as a blast furnace in Europe, until markets rebound. Source : SP Global
Tenaris Announces 2019 Second Quarter Results Tenaris Announced 2019 Second Quarter Results. In the second quarter of 2019, sales rose 2% quarter-on-quarter, as higher sales in Mexico and various Eastern Hemisphere markets compensated for a seasonal decline in sales in Canada. Operating income declined 9% quarter on quarter resulting from the non-repetition of the $15 million tariff recovery recorded in the previous quarter and higher maintenance costs associated with a major overhaul of our facilities in Mexico. Net income amounted to 12.5% of sales. Zie pdf voor cijfers: It said “In the USA, drilling activity has slowed down and is likely to remain around the present level as oil and gas prices have been subdued and operators maintain a disciplined approach to capital expenditures. In Canada, drilling activity remains well down on last year with no recovery expected before the end of the year. In Latin America, drilling activity is expected to remain at current levels until the end of the year amid uncertainty about elections in Argentina and the financial position of Pemex. In the eastern Hemisphere, drilling activity continues to improve, led by gas developments in the Middle East, and a gradual recovery in some offshore basins. In the third quarter, our sales will be affected by lower average selling prices, seasonal factors and the impact of major maintenance stoppages amplified by the triennial intervention in Mexico, before recovering in the fourth quarter. We expect to mitigate most of the impact of lower average selling prices with lower costs and complete the year with an overall EBITDA margin similar to that of 2018.” Source : Strategic Research Institute
