MMK Group Reports Consolidated Results for Q3 and 9M 2015
OREANDA-NEWS. MMK Group Reports Consolidated Results for Q3 and 9M 2015
Q3 2015 highlights
Revenue declined in Q3 2015, primarily due to the weakening of the rouble and the decrease in the average steel price during the quarter.
Cost of sales decreased, primarily due to the weakening of the rouble versus the US dollar during Q3 2015, as well as efforts aimed at cost-optmisation in steelmaking. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses fell primarily due to lower selling expenses resulting from a decline in export volumes. EBITDA for Q3 2015 decreased by 12.8% q-o-q.
The EBITDA margin was 28.6%. Profit for the quarter fell to USD 78 million due to a non-cash FX loss of USD 135 million.
Excluding this, profit for the quarter was USD 213 million. Free cash flow in Q3 2015 increased by more than 3x q-o-q and amounted to USD 571 million.
9M 2015 highlights
The decline in revenue was primarily driven by lower sales volumes (-8.2%) and the decrease in the average steel price in US dollars during the year by USD 127 per tonne or 21.1% (from USD 601 per tonne in 9M 2014 to USD 474 per tonne in 9M 2015).
Cost of sales fell faster than the decline in revenue, primarily due to the depreciation of the rouble, implementation of a cost-cutting programme and lower production volumes. SG&A expenses in 9M 2015 also decreased y-o-y. Combined, these factors supported growth of operating profit.
EBITDA in 9M 2015 amounted to USD 1,393 million, up 14.7% y-o-y. The EBITDA margin was 29.9%, while profit for 9M 2015 incrased by more than 5x y-o-y. Free cash flow in 9M 2015 amounted to USD 940 million, resulting in an annualised free cash flow yield of 36.1%.
