Profit attributable to equity shareholders of Mechel PAO - 7.9 bln rubles
MOSCOW, May 20, 2021 - Mechel PAO (MOEX:MTLR, NYSE:MTL), a leading Russian mining and steel group, announces financial results for the 1Q 2021.
Mechel PAO's Chief Executive Officer Oleg Korzhov commented:
"The Group's consolidated revenue in 1Q2021 was 76.0 billion rubles, which is 10% more than in the previous quarter. EBITDA reached 18.2 billion rubles, demonstrating an 88% growth quarter-on-quarter.
"The results improved due to increased prices for nearly the entire product range of the Group's mining and steel divisions.
"In 1Q2021, we saw a favorable trend in the coking coal market. Despite the continuing ban on imports of Australian coking coal to China, indicative quotations for Australia's coking coal increased quarter-on-quarter. Spot prices based on FOB Australia and CFR China peaked in February. High demand for Australian coking coal on the spot market from Europe and South America was the main reason for growing prices FOB Australia. Those customers that normally bought US-produced coking coal, were forced to buy Australian coal as all available US coal went to China, and the supply on the market was limited. The worsening weather conditions in Australia and concerns related to possible interruptions in coal supply also provided substantial support to price quotations. Prices CFR China also grew as China's high demand dried up coal supply in the United States and Canada. In January, coking coal prices also grew on Russia's domestic market, primarily due to an advantageous export alternative (mainly to China).
"The steel division's results also improved due to the growth of steel prices, which began in 3Q2020 as China demonstrated an active demand for steel spurred by the Chinese government which funded construction of major infrastructure objects in an effort to restore its economy. A growth of iron ore prices was another factor. Turkey, whose domestic demand perked up due to government stimulation of the construction industry, also lent support to steel prices. Instead of an expected seasonal decline, this growth became stronger by the end of 2020.
"However, the decrease in production and sales in 1Q2021 limited our ability to improve financial results by using these favorable market trends. I must note that the reasons for this downturn formed considerably earlier than this reporting period, dating back to mid-2020. As we restructured our debt with our key lenders in 2Q2020, we formed certain plans on servicing and repaying debt that were tied to our expected inflow of cash and necessary expenses on financing our enterprises' current operations. The COVID-19 pandemic, which had spread throughout the world by 2Q2020, affected all business and had a significant impact on the markets for our products. The steep decline in demand for coal and steel products, combined with coronavirus limitations and suspension of many of our partners' operations, led to a reduction in our operating profit. Still, we have not allowed halts to any of our facilities or violations to our restructured financial obligations, but faced a lack of funds for maintenance repairs, purchase of raw materials, payments to our contractors and other necessary payments. The process of overcoming the consequences of these negative factors was relatively long, as the production and sales decline aggravated our problem with funding. The improvement in market trends at the end of the last year and at the beginning of this year enabled us, despite those decreased volumes, to restore our operating profit to the planned level, restart programs of maintenance repairs and equipment acquisitions, stabilize the supply of raw materials and spare parts to our facilities and begin to repay the arrear we accumulated before our suppliers and contractors.
"The steel division's results have already demonstrated a considerable improvement in April. The mining division's results will demonstrate positive dynamics in the future periods, due to a longer production cycle. We plan to make up for the first quarter's decline before the year's end. Favorable trends on our key markets will enable us to do so, and so far we see no reason for them to take a downward turn, considering an expected seasonal growth in demand for construction products."

Profit / (loss) attributable to equity shareholders of Mechel PAO | 7,896 | (36,878) | - | 7,896 | 16,571 | -52% |
Mechel PAO's Deputy Chief Executive Officer for Economics and Finance Nelli Galeeva commented:
"Consolidated EBITDA in 1Q2021 amounted to 18.2 billion rubles. This is 39% higher than EBITDA for 1Q2020 and 88% higher than in the previous quarter.
"Profit attributable to equity shareholders of Mechel PAO amounted to 7.9 billion rubles, as compared to the loss of 36.9 billion rubles in 1Q2020. This was largely due to foreign exchange gains on foreign currency liabilities, which grew by 34.5 billion rubles as in 1Q2020 the ruble became significantly weaker than the US dollar and euro. The gross margin's growth by 5.4 billion rubles, or 21%, due to increased prices for the Group's mining and steel division's products both on the domestic and the international markets, also proved a positive impact on the Group's financial results. The 1Q2021 profit attributable to equity shareholders of Mechel PAO, is less by 8.7 billion rubles than in 4Q2020, mostly due to a decrease in foreign exchange gains on foreign currency denominated liabilities by 5 billion rubles as well as the decrease in finance income by 2.6 billion rubles quarter-on-quarter.
"As the Group's financial results improved in 1Q2021, the operating cash flow went up to reach 13.1 billion rubles as compared to 9 billion in 4Q2020.
"In 1Q2021, the Group's finance costs amounted to 5.3 billion rubles, which is 0.2 billion or 4% less than in 4Q2020 and 2.6 billion or 33% less than in 1Q2020. This was largely due to our partial repayment of loans with Gazprombank and VTB Bank using the gain on the Elga Coal Complex sale and the decrease of the Bank of Russia's key interest rate valid in 1Q2021 as compared to 1Q2020.
"As of today, the company's average debt portfolio cost is 5.8% per annum.
"As of March 31, 2021, the Group's net debt excluding fines and penalties on overdue amounts went down by 7.5 billion rubles as compared to December 31, 2020, and amounted to 318.1 billion rubles. This was due to net loan settlement totaling 5.1 billion rubles, mostly as we are gradually repaying loans granted by Gazprombank and VTB Bank and restructured in 2020, as well as bond and overdraft redemption.
"The Net Debt to EBITDA ratio improved notably by the end of 1Q2021 and amounted to 6.9, as compared to 7.9 at the end of 2020. This was due primarily to a significant EBITDA growth in 1Q2021.
"The debt portfolio's structure has remained largely unchanged and currently consists of 54% in rubles and the rest in foreign currency. The share of state-controlled banks is 87%."
Mining Segment
Revenue from contracts with external customers in 1Q2021 went down by 12% quarter-on-quarter due to decreased sales volumes. EBITDA in 1Q2021 went up by 28% quarter-on-quarter as EBITDA margin reached 31% due to increased prices for the division's products.
Revenue from sales to third parties in 1Q2021 went down by 4% year-on-year due to reduced sales volumes. At the same time, the division's EBITDA in this period went up by 20% year-on-year. This was primarily due to a major improvement in prices for all types of coal products except steam coal.
Mechel Mining Management OOO's Chief Executive Officer Igor Khafizov noted:
"Throughout 1Q2021, prices remained generally on a favorable level. Even though in late February and March coking coal prices on export markets went down as fears that Australian coal supplies would be limited were not confirmed, while China's trade traffic regarding imported coking coal was notably weak, the average prices of 1Q2021 were higher than in 4Q2020. The average selling price for our company's coking coal concentrate on FCA basis in this reporting period was higher by 14% quarter-on-quarter.
"The reduction of mining and sales volumes was a negative factor. It was mostly due to the lack of funds necessary to prepare reserves for future mining. As coal prices went up in late 2020, we had had differences of opinion with our contractors regarding work costs. Seasonal factors such as major snowfalls and low temperatures also had their impact. Also, as quarantine limitations set in internationally, supplies of giant tires and imported spare parts for mining and transport equipment suffered delays.
"As of today, we have settled all issues with our contractors and signed new contracts. We have launched a new mining area in our Sibirginskaya Underground mine. Starting in 2Q2021, mining volumes began to recover, and we expect that in 2021 we will have mined no less than in 2020."

EBITDA, margin | 31% | 27% | 31% | 23% |
Steel Segment
In 1Q2021 revenue from sales to external customers went up by 19% quarter-on-quarter, while EBITDA more than tripled. This was due to higher sales prices for nearly the entire range of our steel products in 1Q2021 as compared to the previous quarter. The quarter-on-quarter decrease of sales volumes for some of our steel products put pressure on our results' dynamics.
Revenue from sales to third parties in 1Q2021 went up by 22% year-on-year, with EBITDA more than doubling. This was due to a price growth both domestically and internationally, for all of the segment's key products. The price growth was partly offset by a decrease in domestic sales volumes, mostly of the universal rolling mill's output, as Russian Railways reduced their demand.
Mechel Steel Management Company OOO's Chief Executive Officer Andrey Ponomarev noted:
"The division's financial results in 1Q2021 demonstrated robust growth both quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year. EBITDA margin reached 18%. This was largely because of price trends. At the same time, the decrease in output and sales volumes, due to underfinancing of our investment projects and our facilities' turnover capital needs in the second half of 2020, proved a negative impact on our results. This was mostly due to a sharp decline in our operational profit in last year's May-June due to coronavirus limitations introduced both in Russia and abroad, which forced many of our customers to halt or reduce production. On a separate note, our funding difficulties coincided with an increase in prices for all types of incoming steelmaking commodities such as coke, iron ore and ferroalloys. With our financial strain, we could not form sufficient stocks of raw materials in time before the dramatic price increase in late 2020. In the second half of 2020, the financial situation began to improve, but it was only by 2Q2021 that we managed to overcome this financing gap. In this, we were helped by market trends that grew stronger in late 2020 and early this year.
"As of today, we managed to restore our production and sales volumes judging by our April and preliminary May results. As market trends remain favorable ahead of the construction season's height, we expect to overcome the lack of resources, maintain operations and restore our planned production levels.
"I also wanted to note that despite all these difficulties, we have never fully halted our work on upgrading our facilities and expanding our product range. For example, Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant's universal rolling mill mastered production of new types of sections in 2021, while our Urals Stampings Plant and its Chelyabinsk subsidiary mastered output of new forgings and stampings for aviation and engineering. Beloretsk Metallurgical Plant has meanwhile continued to implementation new innovative types of wire ropes."

Power Segment
Mechel-Energo OOO's Chief Executive Officer Denis Graf noted:
"The division's financial results in 1Q2021 demonstrated positive dynamics both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter. The growth of unregulated capacity prices on the wholesale electric power and capacity market, as well as higher retail markup year-on-year while electric power and capacity sales went up due to lower temperatures were the key factors for this improvement year-on-year. The quarter-on-quarter improvement in revenue and EBITDA was mostly due to seasonal factors."
