ArcelorMittal Europe reports €58m operating profit for Q1 2014
ArcelorMittal Europe today announced results for the first quarter of 2014
The segment recorded an operating profit of €58 million for the first three months of 2014. This compares with an operating loss of €396 million in Q4 2013. Comparable operating performance for Q4 2013 was impacted by impairment and restructuring charges totalling €302 million. There were no such impairment or restructuring charges this quarter.
Ebitda for the quarter also rose, by 29% to €390 million, compared with €302 million in the fourth quarter of last year. This improvement has been mainly driven by higher shipments and a positive price cost effect.
ArcelorMittal Europe crude steel production increased by 4.3% to 10.9 million tonnes, compared with Q4 2013, following the restart of the blast furnace in Dabrowa Gornicza, Poland, as maintenance work concluded.
Steel shipments in Q1 2014 were 10.0 million tonnes, an increase of 5.6% compared with the previous quarter. Flat product shipment volumes increased by 5.8% and long product shipment volumes increased by 6.0%, both benefitting from seasonality and improved underlying demand.
Sales in the ArcelorMittal Europe segment also increased by 1.6% to €7.5 billion, compared with €7.4 billion in the fourth quarter. This was primarily due to higher steel shipments.
