Detailing Q3 guidance
Luxembourg, 22 September 2023 (18:00 CET) - Aperam (referred to as “Aperam” or the “Company”) (Amsterdam, Luxembourg, Paris, Brussels: APAM, NYRS: APEMY), today further details Q3 guidance.
With the release of Q2 2023 results on 27 July 2023 Aperam provided guidance for Q3 2023 consisting of:
Two unforeseen events in form of a longer than expected standstill of the Genk upstream for accommodating the construction of the new AOD as well as operational issues at the melt shop in Chatelet caused a significant loss of shipments during the quarter. As a consequence Aperam now expects volumes at a comparable level versus Q2 2023 with an associated impact on earnings.
Additionally we refine the guidance on higher than expected inventory valuation losses (up to triple digit) due to raw material price movements on maintenance related elevated stocks. We are now projecting Q3 adjusted EBITDA around EUR 15-20 million.
Aperam will report Q3 2023 results on 10 November 2023.
