Revenue amounted to USD 12.5 billion

Mechel JSC ’s Chief Executive Officer Yevgeny Mikhel commented on the 2011 financial results: “On the whole, last year was quite successful for the Group. Despite difficulties with economic development in many countries that are traditional customers of Mechel’s products, volatility in the financial markets and ambiguous price dynamics for our company’s key products, we not only managed to implement a fairly large-scale investment program and advance on our key projects, but also improve on the previous year’s main financial parameters. In that, a major role was played by the company’s competitive advantages such as a full range of coal and steel products offered by our sales branches, expansive geographical presence and the leading positions maintained by the company’s divisions in their market segments, supported by the holding’s integrated structure.”

Mechel’s steel segment’s revenue from external customers in 2011 amounted to USD 7.2 billion, or 57.0% of the consolidated net revenue, an increase of 28.1% over the net segment’s revenue from external customers of USD 5.6 billion, or 57.3% of consolidated net revenue, in 2010.
In 2011, the steel segment’s operating income decreased by 35.6% and totaled USD 191.7 million, or 2.6% of total segment’s revenue, versus the operating income of USD 297.6 million, or 5.1% of total segment’s revenue, in 2010. The adjusted EBITDA in the steel segment in 2011 decreased by 22.9% and amounted to USD 318.9 million, compared to the adjusted EBITDA of USD 413.6 million in 2010. The adjusted EBITDA margin of the steel segment was 4.27% in 2011, versus the adjusted EBITDA margin of 7.09% in 2010. Depreciation and amortization in steel segment rose by 13.6% from USD 110.9 million in 2010 to USD 126.0 million in 2011.
Mechel-Steel Management LLC ’s Chief Executive Officer Andrey Deineko noted in commenting on the steel segment’s results: “Steel products markets’ deterioration in the fourth quarter of 2011, which led to lower demand and steel prices, brought about a decrease in the division’s earnings. This factor especially affected our Romanian enterprises, which mostly supply their products to the European market. The decrease in sales of the Romanian enterprises’ finished products led to an increase in production costs, which put marked pressure on the division’s financial results both in the fourth quarter and for the year as a whole. It must be noted, however, that volatility on the steel markets was significantly offset by the Mechel Service Global sales network, which has grown much in the past 3 years. We can confidently say that major funds we invested in this project, including those from the working capital, were justified, as it minimized the effect of decreased demand on our cash flow thanks to a much wider sales geography. 6
“The reporting period was marked by a series of positive events. For example, in the fourth quarter of 2011 we cut production costs for steel products at Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant. Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant also launched a new quality steel producing complex, which will work within the same production cycle as the universal rolling mill. As part of our efforts to cut costs, we are reconsidering production plans in favor of more profitable products, optimizing technological processes and consumption indices.”

Mechel-Ferroalloys Management LLC’s Chief Executive Officer Gennady Ovchinnikov noted: “The fourth quarter was characterized by ambiguous trends which had their effect on the segment’s results. We managed to stabilize nickel costs to a certain extent. During test probes on chrome briquette producing equipment we decreased ferrochrome production costs despite growing chrome ore concentrate prices. We expected to see a certain growth in ferrosilicon production costs in the fourth quarter, due to the reconstruction of Bratsk Ferroalloy Plant’s furnace # 4, which was launched into production in the first quarter of 2012 as planned. At the same time the degressive price dynamics for the division’s finished products continued to affect the division’s financial parameters. We see further ways to optimize costs at Bratsk Ferroalloy Plant, where a modernized furnace was launched, as well as works are underway to transfer the plant fully to its own resource base at the Uvatsk quartzite deposit. We expect further improvements at Tikhvin Ferroalloy Plant, where the chrome briquette producing workshop is working at full capacity since the first quarter of this year.”

The segment had positive results in operational profit and EBITDA. Nevertheless, growing commercial costs, mostly due to rising electricity traffic tariffs, had a marked effect on the end result. In order to improve the situation, we have worked out and are implementing a series of steps aimed at cutting production costs as well as optimizing the capital expense program.”
