2Q16

RESULTS

 

 

CSN’s Consolidated Results

 

·         Net revenue totaled R$4,349 million in 2Q16, 13% up on 1Q16 and 18% more than in the same period last year. In relation to the previous quarter, the upturn was primarily due to increased sales volume in the mining segment and higher steel prices. Concerning 2Q15, the improvement was also due to the increase in mining sales volume.

 

·         COGS amounted to R$3,427 million, 17% up on the previous three months and 20% more than in 2Q15, chiefly due to higher iron ore output and increased costs as a result of the blast furnace #3 stoppage.

 

·         Second-quarter gross profit came to R$922 million, in line with 1Q16, with a gross margin of 21%, 3p.p. down on the first quarter. In relation to 2Q15, gross profit climbed by 10% and the gross margin narrowed by 2p.p., from 23% to 21%.

 

·         Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled R$498 million, 18% less than in 1Q16, but 18% higher year-on-year. These variations were largely due to distribution costs, which were 11% lower than in 1Q16, but 32% more than in the same quarter last year.

 

·         Other operating income (expenses) was a net expense of R$171 million in 2Q16, 35% up on the quarter before, due to the payment of provisioned taxes, and 23% down on 2Q15.  

 

·         Working capital came to R$2,359 million, R$718 million less than in 1Q16, while the financial cycle closed the second quarter at 77 days, 24 days less than in the previous quarter.

 

·         Adjusted net debt fell by 3% over 2Q16, totaling R$25,873 million, while leverage ended the quarter at 8.3x, versus 8.7x in the previous three months.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

·         The proportional net financial result was negative by R$228 million in 2Q16, due to: i) financial expenses (excluding the exchange variation) of R$856 million; ii) the positive exchange variation result of R$478 million; and iii) financial revenue of R$150 million.

RESULTS

 

·         CSN’s equity result was a positive R$18 million in 2Q16, versus a positive R$45 million in 1Q16 and a negative R$44 million in 2Q15, chiefly due to MRS’s equity result, which fell from R$61 million, in 1Q16, to R$32 million, as shown below:

¹ The Company discloses adjusted EBITDA excluding interests in investments and other operating revenue (expenses) in the belief that these items should not be considered when calculating recurring operating cash flow.

 

·         Adjusted EBITDA amounted to R$855 million in 2Q16, 17% up on the quarter before and 7% more than in 2Q15, accompanied by an adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.7%, 0.6p.p. higher than in 1Q16, but 1.5p.p. down on 2Q15.

Adjusted EBITDA (R$ million) and Adjusted EBITDA Margin (%)

¹ The adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as the ratio between Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, which considers stakes of 60% in Namisa, 33.27% in MRS and 50% in CBSI until November 2015 and stakes of 100% in Congonhas Minérios, 37.27% in MRS and 50% in CBSI as of December 2015.

RESULTS

 

Debt

 

The adjusted amounts of EBITDA, Debt and Cash included the stakes of 60% in Namisa, 33.27% in MRS and 50% in CBSI until November 2015 and the stakes of 100% in Congonhas Minérios, 37.27% in MRS and 50% in CBSI as of December 2015, as well as financial investments used as collateral for exchange operations on the BM&FBovespa. On June 30, 2016, consolidated net debt totaled R$25,873 million, while the net debt/EBITDA ratio stood at 8.28x, based on LTM adjusted EBITDA.

 

 

Indebtedness (R$ million) and Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA (x)

  

 

Foreign Exchange Exposure

 

In 2Q16, CSN began reviewing its FX hedge strategy, which led the company to completely unwind it FX derivatives position. As a result, the FX exposure of our consolidated balance sheet on June 30, 2016 was US$1,791 million, as shown in the table below. It is important to mention that the net FX exposure includes a liability totaling US$1.0 billion in the Loans and Financing line related to the Perpetual Bonds, which, due to its nature, will not require disbursements for the settlement of the principal amount in the foreseeable future. The company’s hedge strategy began to focus on preserving its cash flow, replacing the exposure generated by the settlement of the derivatives for new Hedge Accounting designations, capturing the existing natural relations, as well as possibly using other financial instruments to protect CSN's future cash flow.

 

The hedge accounting adopted by CSN correlates the projected export inflows in dollars with part of the scheduled debt payments in the same currency. Therefore, the exchange variation of the dollar-denominated debt is temporarily booked in shareholders’ equity, flowing through P&L when revenues in USD from exports occur.

¹ See comment in the adjustment to the mining result item.

 

 

·         During 2Q16, the mining result was impacted by an accounting elimination adjustment, amounting R$164 million, in the 1Q16 net revenue and COGS accounts, without influence in the mining EBITDA of both quarters. The following mining segment analysis will use the adjusted values. For comparison purposes, the value was adjusted in the 1Q16 and 2Q16 results as shown below:

Results from CSN’s Steel Operations

 

The parent company’s slab production totaled 500,000 tonnes in 2Q16, 40% and 55% down on 1Q16 and 2Q15, respectively, while flat rolled steel output came to 668,000 tonnes, 11% and 35% less than in 1Q16 and 2Q15, respectively. These results can be explained chiefly by the blast furnace #3 stoppage, which was inoperable by 22 days.

Mining

 

In 2Q16, the seaborne iron ore market was influenced by the recovery in demand for steel in China. Policies to stimulate the economy ensured ample available credit, encouraging a recovery in the real estate market and construction activities; on the tax side, we noticed an increase in investments in infrastructure. In addition, low steel inventories throughout the production chain limited immediate delivery availability and positively pressured prices. In response to encouraged demand and fueled by the higher margins, steelmakers increased output by 9%, the highest quarter-on-quarter increase in more than three years. As a result, iron ore demand grew and the commodity’s price averaged US$55.66/dmt (Platts, Fe62%, N. China) in 2Q16, 15% up on 1Q16.

 

Maritime freight costs on Route CI-C3 (Tubarão-Qingdao) averaged US$8.43/t in 2Q16, 48% up on 1Q16. The route was positively impacted by a seasonal increase in transported volume by of capesize vessel and higher fuel prices.

·           Net revenue from mining operations totaled R$1,016 million in 2Q16, 8% up on 1Q16 and 49% more than in 2Q15 1Q15. The upturns in both periods were due to higher total iron ore sales volume, which came to 9,267 thousand tonnes this quarter.

 

·           Mining segment COGS came to R$743 million, in line with 1Q16 and 37% up on 2Q15, due to the higher volume of iron ore sold and higher purchases from third parties. In 2Q16, Congonhas Minérios recorded a Chinese delivery cost excluding depreciation of US$28.2/wmt, 10% down on the previous quarter, mainly due to a reduction in the mine’s production costs and in seaborne freight charges.

 

·          Adjusted EBITDA stood at R$365 million in 2Q16, 29% and 60% up on 1Q16 and 2Q15, respectively, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 36%, chiefly due to the increase in FOB export prices and reductions in production cost and seaborne freight.
