乐鱼体育——（乐鱼体育商业资讯）——CLEVELAND- cliffs Inc.（纽约证券交易所代码：CLF）今天公布了截至2024年12月31日的2024年第四季度和全年初步财务业绩。公司于2024年11月1日完成了对Stelco Holdings Inc.（“Stelco”）的收购。由于与收购相关的会计整合，此时只有选定的初步财务信息可用。该公司计划在2025年2月24日乐鱼体育市场收盘后公布其完整的第四季度和2024年全年收益结果。以下选择的财务业绩预期仅包括Stelco从2024年11月1日至2024年12月31日的业绩。

2024年第四季度业绩预期：

  • 钢材净出货量380万吨
  • 收入约43亿美元
  • 调整后ebitda亏损约8500万美元

2024年全年业绩预期：

  • 钢材净出货量1560万吨
  • 收入约192亿美元
  • 调整后EBITDA1约为7.75亿美元
  • 包括Stelco在内，2024年预估调整后ebitda约为12亿美元

cliff董事长、总裁兼首席执行官Lourenco Goncalves表示：“除了受新冠疫情影响的2020年，2024年是自2010年以来国内钢铁需求最糟糕的一年。作为北美汽车行业最大的供应商，我们在下半年受到了该行业需求低迷的影响。这是我们业绩疲软的主要原因，特别是在第四季度，我们预计第四季度将是我们展望的低谷。进入新的一年，我们已经看到我们的订单有所改善，无论是汽车还是非汽车，并且相信特朗普总统议程上的制造业友好项目将给乐鱼体育-克利夫斯带来巨大的好处。这包括最近宣布的对墨西哥、加拿大和中国的关税，以及预计还会对钢铁征收更多关税。从第一天起，Stelco就一直是主要贡献者，我们预期的协同效应的很大一部分已经在进行中。根据他们在2018年的经验，我们预计Stelco也将受益于钢铁关税。我们期待着所有这些发展最终在2025年取得成功。”

贡萨尔维斯还说：“我们赞赏特朗普总统在关税问题上采取果断行动。乐鱼体育-克利夫斯坚信，关税可以发挥长期积极作用，使乐鱼体育再次成为制造业超级大国。总统继续证明他是个信守诺言的人。许下承诺，信守承诺。针对对手和盟友的特定国家关税是重要的第一步，我们期待着继续与特朗普政府合作，采取进一步的关税行动，特别是针对钢铁，针对那些利用我们市场的对手和盟友。钢铁行业的公平竞争环境将为迎接一个新的黄金时代和制造业复兴奠定基础，这将使乐鱼体育再次强大。”

调整后的EBITDA是一种非公认会计准则的财务指标，管理层用来评估经营业绩。本指标的表述不应与按照乐鱼体育公认会计准则编制和表述的财务信息分离、替代或优于。本指标的表述可能与其他公司使用的非公认会计准则财务指标不同。由于预测发生的不确定性和固有的困难以及影响可比性的项目的财务影响，我们无法在不合理的努力下，将我们的预期调整后的EBITDA与其最直接可比的GAAP财务指标——净收入进行调和。这包括最终确定与Stelco收购有关的对价的初步分配，以获得净有形和无形资产和承担的负债以及相关的税收影响。出于同样的原因，我们无法说明这些无法获得的信息的可能意义。

注：德勤尚未对初步财务数据进行审计、审查、编制或应用商定的程序。因此，德勤律师事务所不就此发表意见或任何其他形式的保证。
